    HELP: Newborn has tucked rear legs and unable to walk.

    I think your foal has contracted tendons, not the other think. We have had two foals born with the same problem. One passed away 24 hours after due to difficult delivery. The second one recovered and is completely normal. The foal is big and probably didn't have enough room in the dam. The...

    Chickens

    One day back in April, I went to check on two broody hens. They were nesting in a large tote in the chicken coop. Half the eggs were destroyed. Poor hens had been setting for a couple weeks. Figured the turkeys or peacocks were messing with them and eggs got destroyed. The next night I heard a...

    Need Help Please?? Pregnant?? Udders??

    We have had mares go clear to 254-255, but they were maidens. Know another breeder that had a mare consistently foal at 365 days.

    What color would you call this coat?

    Your mare is probably hiding the silver gene. Only way to know for sure is have her tested. That is probably where you got the silver dapple.

    What color would you call this coat?

    Here is Spyder. She is a silver black without dapples. Her sire is a buckskin, no silver. Dam is a sorrel with flaxen mane and tail. We bought this mare already bred so was suprised with the foal color. We are pretty sure dam has silver. It does not show up on sorrel horses.

    What color would you call this coat?

    She is a silver dapple, also called silver black. She is very pretty. We have two yearling fillies that are silver black but they are closer to the cor of the Rocky Mountain Horse. Chocolate with lighter main and tail. One has a few dapples the other has none. As for the coat shedding, have...

    Gelding senior stallion

    We have a stallion that thinks our geldings are girls. He herds them around and keeps them away from the other stallions, even though the other stallions have no interest in them.

    Estimated height

    Usually AMHA and AMHR consider 3 years old for them to be at their full height. That is when both registries allow the horses papers to be brought permanent. They only have temp papers until they turn three. Most breed of horses can still grow past three.

    Preggers or overweight??

    Try taking pictures broadside and behind at her level. Also take a closer picture of her milk bar area. From the angles it is hard to tell. Also if she was bred to a donkey, I think they carry closer to 12 months.
