    Area I National Show in Nammondsport, NY

    Going to clip Freedom right now... and hoping she will be good! I don't know everyone but I am easy to find - I will have the fattest pinto A minis in the halter obstacle and hunter/jumper classes, wear glasses and have reddish hair. Despite our exercise and diet regimen, the pounds are not...

    What Sparked Your Interest In Ponies?

    Love this thread!!!! When I was 7 years old I was given a book that had pictures of Curtiss Frisco Pete in it... (not sure I spelled his name right). As I loved Saddlebreds, that look in a pony made me interested for years but my parents did not share my interest. I then took out the book...

    Farm name---Any suggestions???

    Norwalk got its name from Norwalk, CT and the Norwalke Indians, if I remember my Norwalk history. The town was burned by British soldiers who invaded the town. Settlers leaving CT carried the name to Ohio and California. My family is descended from Andrew Perry, who came over from Ireland...

    Area One roll call

    If you need help, let me know - I will be there Friday morning and Sunday - Mercy gets to go home after showing - if Courtney wants to show her in jumping or halter obstacle, just let me know - (my treat as I am on the fence on whether I want to drag Freedom along - I am flying solo and am...

    Again, I am confused....

    The only thing I have learned is that mares can be totally inconsistent. :DOH! I have been fooled before and I swear the mares have laughed under their breath. If you can get an ultrasound done, it would be worth it... keeping my fingers crossed that that is an option for you and your...

    Area One roll call

    Nefertiti (my Shetland), Mercy and possibly Freedom are going. Just look for the fat black and white mare that jumps - with a redhead on the end of the line. Neffie was very naughty in 2006 so if you see a naughty and noisy bay Shetland, that will probably be us. Since Ben has "retired"...

    super short heat cycle????

    Mercy's dam was a one-day presenter of heat - she had to be bred that day, caught and usually had black & white fillies (I worked with her so I was familiar with some of her produce. She was an experienced broodmare. Freedom's dam, who I owned, had a 1-3 heat cycle where she was receptive...

    Does a pregnant stomach look like this?

    My quickie pregnancy check is to feed the mare and feel her belly right on her navel - baby will kick then. Once mine were confirmed in foal, I would check status nightly...baby's kicks let me know he/she was OK and absence of kicking warranted a veterinary check. Good luck! Denise

    Inhuman practices at shows

    Oh my! Naysa and her story AND her rehabilitators are just amazing. The man that tortured her should know what goes around, comes around, three fold. I am still crying over that poor mare's suffering. The fact that she could even trust humans after what she endured that shows how forgiving...

    Inhuman practices at shows

    I own a Modern Shetland who has never known what elastics, weights and the like are. She moves big and has done so since she was a foal and she is barefoot. She will show in Modern Pleasure in two weeks and she lives her life like a horse - turned out daily with her friends. She is hot by...

    Mercy's birthday today

    Thank you! She will be at Area One this year... just had to dust her off and test out my knee with its new brace... along with my Shetland Nefertiti and Freedom. It may be our only mini/pony show this year. Robin - she now appears in the Adams Media book A Cup of Comfort for Horse Lovers...

    Prayers needed

    The kids are on the mend - but Andy got more details on the accident - all of the boys were ejected from the car when it went off the road and rolled several times. The driver was not seriously hurt. One boy is in a medically induced coma(?), another broke an arm, leg and collarbone and...

    Not a good weekend here....My oldest son's friend's younger brother and three other kids are in the hospital - three including Jamie are in guarded condition... the driver was drunk and the other kids got in the car with her. . The driver swerved to avoid hitting a deer and rolled the car...
