    Why are we blind to serious conformation faults?

    Same here. We are all learning along the way I look back at some of the horses we started out with and laugh. Of course we loved them all to death but some were definitely quite pet quality. We didn't know what we were looking at. I've learned a lot through 11 years of breeding and...

    Requied Mini training to visit homes, hositals?

    We were certified through the Delta Society. You have to go through a class (just one day) of training and they will let you know what will be required for training with your horse. You need to find a director in your area. After going through the class you and your horse will be...

    A BIG Pet Peeve of mine

    Same here. Facebook sometimes has a glitch and doesn't notify you. Also, sometimes emails can get blocked and sent to spam. A lot of people forget to check their spam box.

    Pinto Color Experts

    I purchased this filly recently and was curious what pattern she is. To me it looks like something extra is going on besides just your typical tobiano. If she had blue eyes and white on her face she would look like a splash almost. She has no white crossing over her back and she has a belly...

    Breeding Age for Mares

    We would never breed before 3 years and they have to pass a vet check (I'd have a maiden palpated at any age) and be mentally mature. Sometimes we wait until 4 or 5.

    Do I have to have him checked for OLWS ?

    I second that. Technically, the mare is a tovero and I agree on the colts color as well. Even a solid horse can test positive for LWO. Any horse you are going to breed should be tested to avoid crossing two horses that are carriers.

    interesting markings

    They are ink spots also called pawprints. A lot of tobianos have them. My old stallion had them everywhere. He was homozygous for tobiano.

    HIVES

    I'm not familiar with Dex either....this is the first time I've used it. We do have fire ants but I haven't seen any around his stall. He is stalled and it is completely matted. We could try the benedryll...I'm just not sure how much? These are definitely hives...They have gone down and come...

    HIVES

    Hey Everyone, My stallion, Checkers has hives bad. He had them two days ago. The vet said to give him banamine so I did. It didn't work so he had us pick up a shot of Dex yesterday and said to give banamine for 3 more days. Today he had almost no hives but they came back about 15 min after...

    only 1 testicle dropped yet

    There have been several minis under my vets care that have had the HcG shots work. One of mine included. He was a yearling though.

    only 1 testicle dropped yet

    You might try hormone (HcG) injections to bring the other one down.
