    $2000 Dwarf!!!!

    I am speechless. There is a dwarf someone is selling for $2000!!!. That is ridiculous! - dwarves are special needs and require a lot of care and upkeep. They should not be put in the wrong hands nor sold for exuberant amounts of money like this!. I hope whoever buys this will know this is a...

    What "type" of pinto was Johnstons Gold Boy?

    Yes, technically - LWO, sabino and splash are a pinto gene (although, I never refer to them as a "pinto" gene, but rather just a gene itself and can come in max and minimal expressed forms.) However you can't say a black horse with a blaze, socks, snip, blue or brown eyes and call it a tobiano...

    Asking for help

    Is Skipper running a temperature? I had several pick up a flu virus this winter - most of them were foals and they had a fever and stopped eating - the vet put them on gastroguard and antibiotics and within 5 days they were fine and back to eating and drinking. But my older mare came down sick...

    For the liberty lovers...

    What I do is take a video of my horse out in the round pen, then I download the video on my computer and put different music to it and find what best suits the horse's movement and energy level. I also voice train my horses - so they will walk, trot, canter, halt and come to me on command (no...

    What is this Mustard yellow fluid from mare???

    Vet just left and she said she thinks it is just reminents of mastitis. But she wanted to go ahead and treat it just in case. So she gave me a syringe of this antibiotic that you actually put inside the teat. So we did a dose today and I am suppose to do another dose in a couple days. She...

    What is this Mustard yellow fluid from mare???

    See that is what I thought too, but from what I read online, she doesn't have any of the main symptoms. Her bag is not hot to the touch and she is not ouchy when you touch it. I thought that mastitis was only in mares that were nursing a foal or have just weaned a foal? Can a mare get it that is...

    What is this Mustard yellow fluid from mare???

    Ok, I have foaled minis for several years now and never had one with fluid this color so I am a little concerned. I have a mare I got in March that is due to foal around July 5th - give or take a week. She is already soft around her rump and her tail bone is more evident. Her vulva is not as...

    Dwarf perlino filly

    hi. I was wondering if you found a home for your perlino dwarf filly? I currently have a dwarf filly I adopted 6 months ago. I am a wizard at putting the magic shoes on and I have a farrier who does excellent trimming on dwarves :-) We also have a great dentist who floats my dwarf fillies...

    Seasoned mare not getting a milk bag?

    Not rare, just not very common. I have never had any problems getting hay with no signs of fescue. In fact we have tried probably 20 different hay suppliers in 10 years and not one had fescue. My vet told me that she has never had fescue in her hay either and that it is not common. I do not buy...

    Seasoned mare not getting a milk bag?

    There is definitly no fescue in our hay as I am very careful at the type of hay I get and fescue is very unusual in ohio anyways, but for sure, there is no fescue in our hay. I mean her bag is not full and I can't express anything out of it, but it is kind of droopy, does that make sense? I...

    Difference between whole oats and steam rolled oats

    If I want one to loose weight I put them on WHOLE oats because it seems to go right through them and that keeps the weight off. If you look at the nutritional facts, you will find that there is more nutrition out of a crimped oat then a whole oat. I have been feeding crimped oats for 20 years...

    Difference between whole oats and steam rolled oats

    steamed, crimped oats are oats that are split so the hull inside is exposed and they get more nutrition out of it. A whole oat is solid and not split. I feed my minis steamed, crimped oats.

    Straight from the office of AMHA

    But it does concern those that have 33.75 & 34" horses and measuring them at the wither could cause them to go oversize. Thankfully, I don't have any AMHA horses that are close enough to 34" for it to matter, however it will concern me when it comes to show time as I want mine to qualify for the...

    Mares Not Coming Back into Heat After Foaling.

    I have a mare that will come in heat 7 days after foaling. But if I don't breed her on that heat cycle or she doesn't take then she won't come back in heat until after the foal is weaned.
