Whitney, I have several. We have a seperate sawdust bin and its getting a gate. If my weanlings are up in the yard they are all over it. What really ticks me off is that they like to climb to the top of the sawdust and poop. I commend their "hygiene" but it really stinks after I've picked...

What a Doll! She is absolutely adorable!! The only thing that really caught my eye was her front hooves. It looks like her heels are rolling in on the inside edge and that is what is giving her front legs that "knock kneed" appearance. You will need a good farrier to open those heels up and...

Poor guy! Prayers are coming his way.

Oh man!! So, who do you think had a midnight snack?? That was pretty cool. I especially loved the little turkeys. What a bummer though. Time to start over......?????

Parmela, I remember when she was born. What an amazing little girl. I loved seeing all of those photos, especially the one with, I'm guessing that is you holding her. What a doll. I agree, money well spent.

I have owned and known many wonderful horses thru the years. The one owning the biggest chunk of real estate in my heart is my tiny (25") gelding Ruckus. I purchsed his Dam in foal with him and he was the second foal born on our farm. He was only 16" at birth but had the moxy and attitude of...

We got the thickest of it off with the warm water yesterday afternoon. He didn't mind at all. His new issue is a sight reaction from one of the Vitamin K shots. Little Dude is not having a good experience. Today he was more receptive to the hot packing on the neck than he was last night. I...

The reason the hose is a no no is because Doc does not want anything to interfere with the clot formation right now and neither do I. He usually stands fairly still, but should he start dancing around it could dislodge the clot that has formed. I'm going to go out right now and try a damp...

This is a little complicated. My colt is still draining minimally from his gelding surgery a week ago. He lost a lot of blood this past Monday when he somehow opened back up. Doc told me to leave the dried blood on his legs alone. The problem is that it is so think and crusty and hard in...

Jill I'm so sorry that you are hurting so badly. Winston was an important member of your family and its natural to hurt and it is important to allow yourself time to grieve. I am happy that you found Watson. I think he will help your heart to heal more quickly. Hugs to you,

I can't tell you what his markings are other than gorgeous. What a striking little guy!! I can't blame you for smiling.

Hugs to you. I am so sorry for your loss.

What I find interesting is that when we purchased our trailer no one mentioned sway bars at all to us. When we bought the trailer we had a Z71 Suburban and the sway wasn't too bad. When we traded the Suburban in last winter for a Navigator, the trailer was impossible to tow. It was when I...

Shana, I am again so sorry for your loss. What a relief that you were able to get some answers and now know the true source of her troubles. Hugs to you,

I have to back Mona up 100%. Please don't not geld your horse because of this incident. Complications of this nature are very rare. I was only seeking advice. My post was not intended to frighten anyone. This incident will not deter me from castrating colts in the future. Please don't let...

Mona, so sorry about your girl. You know how I adore her. he is slowing down on the bleeding. Doc is still trying to get here and is checking in every couple of hours. He is an awesome Vet and I am so thankful to have found him. I trust his judgement. I'll update as I can.

This is Toys Sensational Iceman:

Thankyou for your encouraging words. I have already talked with Doc this morning and he will be out later after a few other calls. Ice is still trickling blood this morning. Yesterday it was literally a waterfall. Oddly he is not nearly as swollen as I expected to see this morning. Thankyou...

And what lies ahead for us?? We had all of our colts gelded last Thursday and Ice didn't clot like he should have and bled out more than he should have. It took several hours to get his bleeding stopped. The vet came back out and put him on SMZ's and banamine was started the next day once we...

She is the cutest thing!!! What a neat girl to have around.
