One of the reasons I love Shark Tank, on TV.. They almost always ask, if the people have a patent on it. If not - why not. Sad though, for the small business. Not everyone knows to take out a patent. Shame on Sears. I never shop there anyway. I remember in the '70's, the story of a family who...

I think when speaking to obviously young people, you must always ask to speak to their parents. Always request a telephone number too, so you can call when people do not show up on time. Doesn't just happen with horses. My daughter has been selling her farm. Made sure the 11 stall barn was...

Riverrose, I think you are putting yourself in grave danger of some health issues, with all the stress laid now at your feet. All these people, including your daughter and son-in-law, should be able to apply for and get, state aid. Your son-in-law and daughter, definitely will, because of the...

Don't you agree though, that Dream is also long backed? Probably Wardance wasn't the ideal mate for her either. I was trying to think of good profile shots of horses with nice, short backs. Look up Van Lo's Overo Kid Calico on google and hit 'images'. I think he's a stallion with a lovely short...

I just realised where these mares came from. I see Dream is bred again. Her previous foal is nicer than she, but still long bodied in my opinion. The stallion couldn't overcome her faults unfortunately. Sorry to see Crystal lost her foal. I believe Kelsey has a Gypsy mare we owned a few years...

It's always difficult to judge horses from pictures, since they sometimes look quite different in life. However, this is what I see here. The first mare is interesting. She appears as two different horses. A lot more horse up-front, than in the rear. Place your hand over each half, and you'll...

Difficult to tell, since this is her foal coat. The dark colour does indicate silver, but that could change when she sheds in the spring. I think she should have white eyelashes on both eyes to be silver. Have here sire/dam, thrown silver before? She looks to be tobiano, with splash and sabino...

Join this forum... http://colorgenetics.info/equine/ You can't find more up-to-date info on the net. There are also hundreds of pictures there, in each colour pattern. Lizzie

This little girl, is also slightly roach backed. She doesn't appear very underweight to me. Could it be because of her roached back, it is what you are seeing? Lizzie

Congratulations. Five is a nice size litter to deal with. Love those Cardigans! Who is the sire? Lizzie

I know you are right Riverrose. I think a lot of it, has to do with the fact that even after almost 50 years here, I have never stopped being homesick for England. Living with all my antique thingies around me, has always helped make me a little less so maybe. This downsize, is also going to be...

In England Jenny, which is about as big as California, almost every county has a different accent. Many who came to the US in the early days, settled in different places and brought their accents with them. For example, thousands of miners came to America, from different mining areas of England...

Such a great topic, Riverrose. I had never heard of paper plates, paper towels, aluminum foil, Kleenex, disposable diapers (nappies) and many other like things, until I came to the US. We washed our clothes by hand and hung them outside to dry. We had a 'clothes horse', which was a wooden thingy...

Lizzie, I tried LDS and could not find any info on my family! But thanks anyhoo for the LDS site, it's a good one just not for my history. Maybe I was doimg something wrong, but it's pretty straight forward... I also had some bit of trouble, getting started on LDS, Jacks'thunder. Finally came...

I think there have been way too many stories like this, to not believe that there is something waiting for us. Whether we call it Heaven or something else, there do seem to be too many people who have experienced 'something', and it's almost always pretty much the same. And what about ghosts...

If we go back far enough, we are almost all, a combination of several different backgrounds and nationalities. Hundreds of years ago, many different groups conquered others and interbred. I suppose we are all mutts, if we get right down to it. Lizzie

I do know someone who had several mares abort and have bad reactions, to the WNV shot. These were Gypsy Horses and not Minis, however. Those who did not receive the shot, had no problems. This was several years ago. I have read a great deal about the problems associated with giving dogs, combo...

I always thought I was Welsh x Cornish, until I started studying genealogy, about 15 years ago. Thanks to the LDS, who have kept incredible and only true reliable records for generations and to the Welsh, who also kept incredible records, I have discovered many surprises. Elinore of Aquitane...

I am so glad you brought this up. I have always been a pedigree hound, yet when asking about a pedigree, the owner has often told me they don't know or cannot remember, or sometimes even, that pedigrees don't matter. Pedigrees absolutely matter and that's a fact. The more you know about your...
