black bay roan (genetic dark bay roan) showing the effect of the silver dapple gene.. that is why he is looking cocoa colored on his points, washed out around his face and at his coronary bands etc... his mane and tail will probably lighten up as he gets bigger as well. when he sheds out in the...

I have dealt with a few over the years. blindness in both eyes is much more of a big deal, partial or complete, than one eye only. I'd want to make darn sure he isn't developing cataracts or something in his good eye (vet check using opthalmascope, not just a flashlight!)... also, there will be...

yes, lice can look like dandruff. separate the mane and stick a little piece of scotch tape in there and pull it off. Lice should be easier to see stuck to the tape and held up to the light. treat with ivermectin pour on or even ivermectin(Orally) wormer every 12 days for 2 months. that will...

thank you.

Rosie will be going to a local home here, a lady whose daughter is a horse vet... so one down. Pepper may be going home very soon too from the sound of it! thanks for the support everyone, and for the offers of help, etc.... I just want everyone, humans and horses both to be safe and happy...

Hmmm wisconsin is not that far away. We will probably be delivering a pony to the Rockford Il area later this fall before the snow flies... how far is that away from you? thanks for the kind words.

thanks Ginny and shortymisty- I do love them! Thats why its not a "money" thing... I have plenty of time to make sure their new homes are just right for owners and the critters. I want everyone to be happy! and I want to be able to go to my retirement home in town eventually knowing I did my...

your vet is your best friend in this issue, he/she has the experience to tell if it is a health issue or social pressure - behavioral, I'd ask the vet about it! Other issues could be just lack of practice, teething issues, maybe oral sores for some reason... the vet can examine his mouth and...

I must find loving forever homes for my ponies, check out cmhr forum for details

Hi, I am looking for the best homes for my family pets, getting money is not the problem, finding good lifetime loving homes is! I am giving away my beloved pets to the best homes I can find for them, and instead of selling them to the adopters, I am asking that a donation (your choice of...

I just had my first, will be amhr/show pony registered, a flying w bred mare to a 100 percent arenosa amhr/shetland stallion... colt is loud red and white tobiano/ sabino... couldn't be happier! a google search for Arenosa or Seth Thomas and the word shetland in quotes "arenosa shetland" or...

I'm interested in hearing an update on what happened here! thanks.

go for it, Parelli done properly never hurt any horse or pony's behavior...

I have been involved in a few rescue organizations over the years on many levels. You need to check the state Dept Ag website and see what the state's rules are for transporting horses without coggins/health papers, etc.. If they can be transported, try to find a local rescue outfit or a...

Over the 30+ years I have worked around horses I have come across or known of many incidents involving injuries to horses (big and little) including death by impalement,(2) impaled through the chest and stuck to the post( 1), having to have the post cut out from under the horse because it was...

If in doubt about the scab problem, I'd have the vet check for ringworm fungus or mange as well as lice. Each requires its own special care to get rid of. Creosol and some other common "washes" can be dangerous for pregnant mares or foals, not to mention humans and other critters, so I'd not...

thanks! we do appreciate all you do!

Don't most people who have amhr/amha minis think they are more valuable and more marketable? I believe shetland/amhr registration makes a critter more valuable and more marketable too... and since" most" minis have shetland genes, I still can't understand why this causes such an uproar.... the...

he looks young and tiny.... do you have more details? what a sweet little face!

hmm guess i didn't understand that you already had minis from your post.... sorry! (wasn't even sure if it wasn't the 11 year old posting!) Jeffersvet.com has pony sized tack at a reasonable price... most pony saddles, especially western ones are made on the same standard size tree, unless you...
