marty, you could contact Donna Ewing of Hooved Animal Rescue and Protection Society www.harpsonline.org .... she is fearless in the fight for humane animal care and will have good info to offer you. good luck!

By all means get a shetland! they are my first and best love... like people they come in all shapes and dispositions. I find them to be every bit as intelligent(probably more!) as full sized horses and with even more expressive personalities. If you have no experience, it is wiser to get a pony...

I have a Roadrunner Cody Grey son that I wouldn't trade for the world! The most athletic animal I have ever known! Yes, call Eldon! (and give him my regards!) He will be able to help you find just what you are looking for!

American welsh are known to carry splash and sabino genes. In the early 1960's there was a heavy infusion of shetland blood introduced to "improve" the breed.. some of those shetlands already being heavy in hackney. It made the welsh leggier and longer necked, but in my opinion also changed the...

"the only way to get that is to breed 2 shetlands and hardshipthe foal into amhr"... BUT, if two ASPC/AMHR horses are bred, the foal is eligible for registry into both registries unless it grows over AMHR height requirements.

Take it from me, this will get some action! Call the local television stations and radio stations and tell them what has gone on. The television or radio stations will follow up and get the sherrif's attention like nobody telephoning from out of the area will. If the story gets air time there...

Lynn, I live near KAYKAY in central IL.

It will take up to a year or more to replace lost muscle and get in condition for the worst starved cases. Youngsters should recover much more quickly. Sounds like you are doing everything right. I'd watch out on giving him too much protein, his bones may overcompensate for the starvation and...

Best possible news! Dixie will go to a new home with a loving and experienced owner in about a month!

VB = vern benna. Harlan McCall of Bellvue farm in Iowa bought much of the last of Vern Benna's herd. He specializes in CODY linebred ponies and is also working with Red Rock bred ponies, making some nice crosses between the 2 lines as well. www.bellvuefarm.com I have a great gelding...

I have had Dixie around a month now and just thought I'd update this post a bit. She is moving much better now her tendons and muscles can stretch out with feet trimmed to normal length. She still seems a bit tender when she moves over the stretch of gravel and cement in the back lot, but will...

assuming you have the owners permission to mess with her pony/mini, there are many things you can do with her. Take her on long walks and expose her to everything possible in the line of "scary" stuff so that she is used to seeing and doing things calmly and curiously. Many Minis are led in...

don't forget to check Ebay....... I just bought a great pony saddle for $99....black bighorn from the early 1960's with a pretty red seat and nickel studs all over. Now to find a martingale and a studded bridle to go with it! heh heh.... Won't my dapple grey shetland gelding look like a dream...

Marty I just have to chime in with similar observations. I was a state certified humane investigator( in Illinois you have to pass a course to be a volunteer investigator for a humane society)for 5 or 6 years, and almost all of the calls we got were from either misguided or vindictivecallers...

Marty, thanks for your kind words and concern for Dixie. Yes I want to do what is right by her, and with luck she will come through. she does not appear to be as badly foundered as some that we have had luck with. I work with one of the foremost lameness vets in the country and the farrier he...

I have a couple of photos of her, but you are welcome to come over, and also welcome to post them on the forum for me (since I am a know nothing rookie at posting! ) Thank you KayKay

Dixie had her hooves trimmed today. She was a bit uncomfortable having it done, and struggled a bit with the hind feet, but the farrier said most of her trouble was from hearing the snapping of the nippers. He thought that it reminded her of the popping of an electric fence. She is moving much...

she is 6 years old and gorgeous, about 13 hands, looks like a welsh, with a lovely dishy head and a sweet disposition. Dark dark Liver chestnut with 4 tall whites, huge blaze and blue eyes, silver mane and tail. Sabino for sure! Nice straight legs. Has not had much done with her, but she halters...

HAHS.Org or HAME, both have websites that will come up with Google, and though they are in Illinois, have members all across the country who will help when needed. I think they both have email addresses that you can link to on the websites. keep us posted!

Thanks Spaz, I thought someone woul know.... hmmmmmm......
