As a genealogist, I use Google Earth quite a lot. Mainly to see where my ancestors lived generations ago, if I happen to have an address. Most of the time, it's pretty close. In some country places, it can be a bit off. Occasionally, you can see a house number to make sure. Sometimes of course...

Interesting subject, Jill. On my travels through life and having once been married into the biz for several years , I have met many Hollywood/Singer types. Some who were truly lovely people and spring to mind, were... Tony Curtis Lee J. Cobb Lorne Green Johnny Mathis Jane Mansfield The...

I didn't know she had lost an eye but it doesn't seem to have affected her one little bit. She is obviously doing beautifully. I can understand your being teary-eyed. Give her a kiss from another Gypsy lover. Lizzie

My little ten year old granddaughter, just received The President's Award for educational excellence. This fab little girl, already has her own business, breeding chickens and selling chicks and eggs to save money, so that one day she will be able to attend Oxford University in England. And all...

Miniature Horses will be added to the Royal Norfolk Show in England. You can read about it here... http://www.edp24.co.uk/business/farming-news/norfolk_show_preview_miniature_horse_classes_added_to_the_bill_1_1419744 Lizzie

I believe in about 30 minutes, HLN will be talking about our immigration problems. Lizzie

Interesting ozmandias. I presume it goes on all the time. Obviously just another way of illegally extracting money, from those who visit their country. And you are correct Laurie, it is not just those who come from south of the border. It is all illegals.No other country in the world, turns...

Thank you ozymandias!!!!! I don't believe many in other - possibly more northern states, understand the terrible toll, illegals take in our border states. As you, when I came to the US almost 50 years ago now, I went through an enormous battery of checks, health and otherwise. I'll give some...

Congratulations Genie. What a pretty girl. Lizzie

You should talk to Danielle at All Star Farm, Ohio. She breeds Minis and Gypsy Horses and has trained tons of both breeds to do tricks. Her trick-trained Minis are very well known. Lizzie

Congrats Kelsey. I'm a big fan of your 'Fly moving machine'. Lizzie

I have found the best way, is to have the person at the head of the horse, hold the tail. This leaves the person at the other end, with one hand to hold the lead rope if necessary and the other to 'guide'. Lizzie

Donkeys and llamas make wonderful livestock guardians. However, you do have to be extremely careful with donkeys. Some will kill the animals they are there to protect and also attack dogs and cats. Not all donkeys will automatically protect other livestock. A lady I know had a donkey with her...

Re 'chocolate'. Years ago, many called silvers, 'chocolate palominos', although the colour was not palomino at all. I believe in Australia, they call silvers, 'Taffy". And not all silvers, are 'silver dapples'. Only some actually have dapples. Others, only at certain times of the year. And there...

I applaud you for your decision, although I know a difficult one. In these iffy times, I am always rather surprised, when I see some still breeding many mares each year, in all breeds. While my daughter and I have been privileged to have owned many top quality mares and stallions, since the...

She looks silver to me too. She could even be a minimal tobiano and/or hiding frame, so I'd test her for everything. I wouldn't bother to test her for sabino, however. Have you pictures of her sire? Lizzie

What a nice boy - and such a pretty head piece on him. I think you got a great deal. Lizzie

The mare looks as though she might be silver to me. Hard to tell on the baby right now. But I must ask, why did you trade for the mare if she is obviously (in your opinion) not breeding quality and now intend to sell both she and the baby on again? Lizzie

I 'think' what you seek, is a tobiano and not a frame overo. If so, then find a tobiano stallion (tested of course) who is homozygous for tobiano but heterozygous for colour. This would give you a coloured (spotted) horse always, but could be black and white or red and white or something else...

Beautiful both. Proud of them you should be. Where abouts are you in LV? I lived there a long time ago and used to write for the Sun newspaper. Lizzie
