They look like they could be Bend Or spots. These spots can be present at birth or show up at several years old. They are named after the Thororughbred stallion Bend Or who had the spots on his chestnut body and no one knows what causes them. They range in color from just darker than coat to...

Sheryll, there is a lumber mill in Jamestown, TN that has bagged shavings..you might try going there. We use to cross the mountain to get the shavings from there. My shavings supplier just went up on prices because they said one of the main shaving supply mills had burned and caused a major...

I am so glad she is home with you Carolyn. It sounds like she is doing good. My prayers will continue for her speedy recovery and a happy healthy future.

I always deworm the mare within 12 hours for the Strongyloids westeri, the equine threadworm. Threadworms are usually the first parasite a foal encounters and are commonly transmitted from the mare to the foal through nursing when larvae in the body tissues of the mare migrates to the mammary...

I came on just to see if Sophie was home. Congratulations Carolyn. I can only imagine how hard this has been for you. I am praying for a speedy recovery for your beautiful girl.

Here is one of my little ones..with two very very pregnant mares. :bgrin

I didn't ever have a problem milking the mares except when expressing milk repeatedly when feeding a foal that took too long to latch on and I just felt like I might be making her sore..same reason women don't express milk by their own hands when saving their breast milk...just my feelings...

This looks like a great product Becky. After my grandson was weaned I stole my daughters manual breast pump and I love it for my mares. It comes with little plastic bags that connect to it. I just freeze some of the collected colostrum and milk in the bags also. It seems to fit my mares just...

That is wonderful news Carolyn. Didn't they put her on prednisone? It makes some people very anxious and agitated..perhaps that is what has caused some of her actions.

I voted..she got two tens from me...Does she have blue eyes? Minimal splash? I bet you are going to get more snow on the plateau today..stay warm..

He is gorgeous...what a great name. Congratulations. :aktion033: :aktion033:

I just heard on a news alert that there was a killer tornado that just hit Florida. How are our mini farm friends in Florida?.good grief just another quirky change in weather..Isn't this odd for this time of the year? Our horses just need it to quit changing so drastically.

Oh Carolyn, I have been following the threads about Sophie and so hoped that Purdue would have a quick answer for you. This is so sad..hopefully the new drug will help. You have done everything you possibly can for this little girl. My prayers are for an answer from the docs, recovery for...

Thank goodness I was reading the forum tonight and came across this thread. I had put my hoses back on my faucests (yes the freezeless kind ) and told myself to be sure to take them back off as it is to get in the low teens tonight and you guessed it , I got distracted and forgot to remove...

Hi Becky, I saw where you joined the Appaloosa Project with your question. You should definately get your answer from Sheila. Judy

I just had to check back one more time before I had to leave for the day. I am so very very sorry for the loss of your precious Cody. Prayers for you to find peace in knowing that he had a wonderful home and was loved so by you.

Oh Liz, I am so sorry...My prayers are going out right now for you and your precious Cody. Please keep us updated.

Tony please know that my prayers continue for a speedy and complete recovery for that precious little guy. My hopes for you are that there will be some form of punishment for the owners of the animals for letting them be free to roam. It could have been just as easily a child that was attacked.

It will cost you $50 to know if AMHA is correct. There is no genetic color test for Dun but there is for Agouti and Cream. One dominant copy of each and your horse is Buckskin. Even if he is buckskin he could still be a dun..aka dunskin. My neighbor has a quarter horse whose color looks just...
