GORGEOUS girls, congratulations!!! Kari

I'll probably be rebreeding Gracie: To Kathy Howard's Mitty Titian son (who is out of an Arenosa mare) Patty (Tigger's dam: Is heading down to Scott Creek to be bred again to DRs Hideaway My Key T (Tigger's sire) And my newest girl, Lacie (I don't have pics uploaded yet) will be bred to...

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences! It's so helpful to know about some of the possible situations that may arise and how to handle them. I'm a LITTLE less nervous now! Kari

Thank you very much, Faith!!!! I consider it a true honor that Garnie let her come live with me. I must confess, I am NOT an appy person but the first time I saw her, bam. I was in love Kari

Hello, I have no clue how to word this... My bred mare, Gracie, is a maiden mare. I've never dealt with a maiden before, and am really nervous as to how she'll do handling labor and motherhood. I guess I'm wanting to know if any of you who HAVE dealt with first-time-moms have noticed any...

Hi Ashley, Welcome from the Pacific Northwet! Kari

Yes, the foal should be a fantastic driver, and I feel very honored indeed to have a Cowboy foal coming. Faith- I'll be watching for photos of your Cowboy foal! Susanne- I have my order in. and Gracie drives, so MAYBE I can bring her and foal too..... maybe maybe maybe.... Portia had her...

I'm so overjoyed, I have to share!!!!!!! According to the FoalProof urine test, my Samis Quo Vadis daughter is bred!! Landrys Cowboy Del is the sire, so it should be an AWESOME foal. The last foal I had was Tigger, born four years ago while I was away at college. So I haven't been part of...

I was born with a love for horses. My whole family pretty much considers me nuts... i.e. my mom overhears a discussion regarding genetics and bloodlines, her eyes glaze over... my uncle's around when a friend and I have a 30 minute discussion on hay, he rolls his eyes and walks off... LOL Kari

Everyone's saying pull the foal out ASAP, but isn't it also important to only pull on a contraction? Kari

It's been interesting and informative to read what you all do. Thanks so much for sharing! For those of you that trade room or boarding or whatever for help with the chores, have you had many problems? Slacking off, not doing the work or doing it poorly, that sort of thing? I'd think a lot of...

Guess I've been lucky in the gas department, as I've been able to find two good teens within walking distance, and neither one has quit on me! Well, the one will, in the fall, but college is important. ;) Kari

Hello, For those of you who hire barn help, how much do you pay them? What all do you have them do? Do you have a set time in which they work in, or do you pay them by the hour? If you don't want to answer these questions on a public forum, feel free to PM me or e-mail at...

As far as music, I've noticed sometimes judges go for oldies, i.e. 50s and 60s... Kari

Yep, unregistered minis under 38" are very welcome!! And clipping is optional, though most still clip. Kari

What a cutie, congrats!!! Will he be at the NWMHC schooling show? Kari

I'm so sorry to hear this. Raider was a grand gentlemen, and he will be missed. But - he will live on in his offspring!!! *Hugs* Kari

Thank you for clearing that up! As far as I know, the mare's never been tested, and I've never seen the colt, so... *shrugs* Kari

Hi, Genetics really confuse me sometimes. I'm learning, but there's A LOT I am still unsure about! Is it possible for one homozygousty to "override" another?? For example, a mare that's homozygous for tobiano is bred to a stallion that's homozygous for black, and the result is a solid black...

I thought it was cute, and great promotion for our breed. Wasn't it funny watching Rob try to figure out what a sleezy was? LOL Here's hoping they've been bitten by the show bug and they come back for more! Kari
