Congratulations!. Nice foal and lovely mare, too. Love her head!

How did you get him to hold up his tail so you could see his markings so well?

That's right Myma. Hate to keep but I found some diagrams and termonolgy that calls tugs and traces the same thing. But then again, I also found a diagram and definition of tugs off of the saddle to the shaft, so guess, it depends on where you are from. I realize carriage people and show...

I always thought traces and tugs were the same thing. Maybe tugs are for draft horse harnesses. Maybe someone can explain the technical difference! Thanks.

Just thought I'd add my pet peeve about driving and judges. It really irks me when the horse is pulling the cart with the wrap shafts because the tugs are not properly placed. They are hanging loose!. I've seen it in the ring and wonder why they place at all.

I have seen many Classic Shetlands with beautiful heads - ones I wish some of my own smaller minis have. Maybe some Shetlands with Modern pedigrees that have Hackney in them do not have nice dished heads. I like my minis around 34 to 35 inches, mainly for their driving ability. I have been to...

Thanks for that link. I read the entire article and learned a lot about the possible causes of abortion, red bag, cord torsion, etc. It was very worthwhile.

So sorry to hear about your lost foals. Some years seem to be worse than others and I pray that the remainder of your mares have no further trouble and healthy little foals.

I've had many foals here and it seems we have had more trouble with our older mares. I don't know why that would be. We lost one three years ago when they couldn't get the foal and had to put down the mare. That one was her 8th foal. Another mare had two dystocias in a row and she had had...

Is Lizard Lick a real town? What a unique name!

I got stuck once with someone owing a fairly small amount on the horse which did not make it worthwhile to pursue. But I will never let a horse leave the place without full payment again. I think if the people can't get a loan at the bank for the horse, why should I become their banker? Why...

So Beautiful. What is the name of the pony?

Yes, I have found that the few slaps where they are going to get the shot alerts them to the fact that it is coming and they try to move away. If I have a problem one, I put it between two gates so they can't move side to side and push me over, and give it as quickly as I can.

Yes, I want to do some advertising in the Journal now! And good idea about the Breeders Directory, too.

I have written articles for the Journal and have contributed for the Area news. Some were accepted and some were not. The editor is justified in accepting what they want. Perhaps there should be an article in the Journal on the format in which they want they stories submitted. For example, do...

Actually I'm trying to delete this post and can't seem to find a way to do it!! Sorry

There were some posted today on the U.S. sale board that are for sale.

Not moving much is she!

I had a black filly once with no white on her anywhere, but had blue eyes. Was she a pinto?

Good idea. Let's get those writers out there to start sending in their articles. Where have they been hiding? Why didn't they send them in for Amy? It would be nice if people would actually write a well researched article or at least send in their news to their area editor. Every issue I...
