    AMHR lookup

    I think it's the wrong Zanders. The first name is different

    AMHR lookup

    I know some Zanders in Tx. They have the Bar Z farm prefix. I have no idea if it's the same Sanders. Very nice people, though.

    Kids Showing - Hat Question :)

    It doesn't seem to matter what color hat men/boys wear. Some go light, some go dark.

    Little King Doctor Dream

    AMHA studbook still has him registered to Joan Richards of Olympian Ranch. So if he was sold, the new owners didn't transfer him into their name

    Color Test Results, One Surprise

    I have a bay sabino tobiano mare that was registered as a chestnut pinto. Color testing revealed that she's really bay. As a 3 yr old, there are some grey hairs in her mane and tail- that's the 'black ' mane and tail of a bay.

    Hard mare to breed - suggestions?

    I've had this happen a few times. Have your vet check her for a retained CL (corpus luteum). Does she have a foal at side? Some mares are "every other year mares " or need to have the foal out of the nearby vicinity. Otherwise, the timing is off.

    Narcoleptic foal?

    Be careful - my vet has warned me that this can be a symptom of septicemia. I've had some do this and they all required careful monitoring. Try honey or Karo syrup to keep his blood sugar up.

    Foal Color Question

    One color test is back. The colt is NOT grey. I asked for this test first because I didn't want to spend a lot if he was going to grey out. I'll order the other tests now. Oh, he now has a name: Peakviews Captain Crunch, aka "Captain". More photos soon. I've been a little busy.

    Foal Color Question

    I don't have any recent photos because I've been working and the weather is not so great when I get home. However, the skin is getting darker - it's no longer a light pink. His coat is lighter than your colts, Mona, it definitely is more like a gold. I sent the hair out to be tested. His mane...

    Pregnant mares and protein

    My mares are fed separately the last month to ensure they get the proper amount and so I can monitor their appetites.

    Pregnant mares and protein

    I feed my broodmares Purina Equine Junior starting their last 1-2 months. It is 14.5% protein and about 5% fat. The last month I switch them from alfalfa cubes to alfalfa hay. I also supplement with Platinum Performance. They get about 1.5 - 2 lbs of grain twice a day. I get nice healthy...

    Foal Color Question

    I wondered about palomino, but currently part of his mane and tail are the body color. Will that lighten?

    Foal Color Question

    This colt, born the night before, has me wondering about his color. His dam is homozygous tobiano chestnut with silver and grey modifiers. She tested negative for sabino, overo, and cream. The sire is a buckskin roan, that I suspect might have the brown modifier. I will be sending hair off to...
