Well, right away I would not trust anything she has to say. Alfalfa is not acidic, but alkaline. It is why horses that eat Alfalfa do not get ulcers as often. It is amazing how there are so many articles on the internet written by people who have no clue. In MN, Alfalfa is all my Morgans...

Does she have unusually light eyes? If not, if they are dark, she is a black and less likely to be a smokey black There are many blacks that, when in the sunlight fade out and one can see the black legs. A blue or true black will not fad out. Just because other blacks fade out does not mean...

I have an older mare who was on Regumate for her whole pregnancy twice and i got two colts. then last year she was ultrasound pregnant, so I put her on Regumate. sometime during her pregnancy she either reabsorbed or slipped the foal. Never found an aborted foal. But, not knowing that, I...

Very much stallion behavior. He realizes she is a mare and is pacing because of that. Stallions will herd their mares by chasing after them and baring their teeth. They also will have a snake look to their necks while baring their teeth. They will lower their heads, bare their teeth and...

You can get heaters that are on the bottom of the tanks. They fit in the plug area. This way they can not be pulled out of the tanks. I used them in MN in rubbermaid waterers.

I am a paper bedding fan too, but so far, I have not found it in Florida. In MN, I had so much trouble in a closed barn with ammonia odor and dust, so much dust. Stripped all my stalls and started to use paper bedding. No smell, NO DUST and the stalls were so easy to clean. only thing, at...

Smoky black for sure. His dam must be a smokey black.

I used Zeigler to transport all of my horses from MN to FL. They were awesome!!! Kept me informed, on time, took great care of the horses and also took many other items at no extra charge. Saved a mint by not having to send waterers, feeders, fencing etc with the movers. His number...

Another way to get them to engage their rears while long lining is to drop the outside line around and behind their back legs, under their tail, Then use that line to encourage then to step forward from the rear, teaching them to round their backs, lift up their front ends and drive from the rear.

The bill was $250 for the collection and $50 for the "rental" of the cooler. Then another $250 for the vet for checking the mare, telling me when to order the semen and then inserting the semen when it came and giving her a shot to ovulate. Over $500 for one try. Again, it usually took at...

So sorry for yours and your friends loss.

Shipping at that time was $250, plus $50 deposit on the cooler. That was UPS from their farm to my door. But with the vet bill too, it was over $500 each time I tried. That did not include the stud fees that were $2000 or more.

Even Mini cooled semen has a shorter shelf life than a normal sized horse. When I bred Morgans, I always had the semen shipped. the shelf life was 48 hours and it usually took 2 trys at $500 a try to get a mare pregnant. one of my mares would never take unless it was live coverage. With...

SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!!!! I had this type f inquiry when I was selling my baby grand piano. I told them cash only, no PayPal. FYI.... PayPal IS NOT SAFE at all. After a really BAD experience I dumped PayPal. Have since learned that this has happened to many many people. I will NEVER use an...

I got the days messed up. (I use the excuse that I am getting old) I thought the swap was Sunday. Drove down with a friend, get there and there are no cars there. Abby and her hubby were in the barn and were so gracious to show us around and show us all their mares, foals and colts. She...

Peggy, I just read your thread. I am so sorry to have read about Saturn. I know he always had a special place in your heart. You did everything you could have done.

Thanks Adam, Hows the weather up there? I do not miss the cold weather at all!!!!!! It was in the mid 70's today. I bought this place in June and the deck and gazebo were sourounded by rose bushes in full bloom. They still are....
