The 34” limitation for AMHA is not new, it is the base height since its inception.

Feel the ribs, not the withers or belly.

Be sure to have a snap test for Igg after the foal is born to see if it got enough colostrum.

It’s not on youtube. At least not this year’s. It is at http://www.amha.org/wswc/index.html They were having trouble with it earlier but appears to be fine now.

30+ years of showing and hauling minis here. My vote is loose in a trailer with the divider out and be sure and buy a trailer with upper doors so the baby is totally enclosed. Believe it or not they can jump over the back door if you only get a trailer that is open in the top rear.

All good advice so far. I also suggest a book called “Getting Your First Horse” by Judith Dutson. It’s full of great information.

Hoping for the best for you both. This sucks.

Marsha, knitting is really easy, there are only two things to learn, knit and purl. All the fancy stuff is done using those two stitches. I am self taught via YouTube, even found tutorials for us lefties so no excuses. I’m currently going crazy knitting a Maize and Blue Afghan for my Aunt who...

I am so sorry for your situation. Please contact your local Agency on Aging as they can connect you with the help you need. It sounds like you should be eligible for Medicaid and they can also connect you with assistance for transportation to medical appointments for yourself. It is key...

They are great for starting kids in horse showing and handling. For older adults not able to handle biggies any more Therapy animals that can visit nursing homes. We trail drive ours for pleasure. The VSE division is getting bigger as it takes less strength, money, trailer, equipment to...

Horses are prey animals Just sayin

I was taught always to feed hay and supplement as needed with grain. Learned the HARD way to never judge body condition with eyes but to always feel. ALWAYS. A little chubby is good, obese like me is not. As long as the weight is good, you are doing fine. Just a decent quality grass hay is...

You could short cycle her and that would end a potential pregnancy allowing you to start over clean. If you don't do that, you will need to put the mare on each stallion's stud report and parent qualify the foal when it is born. That means all three of the adult horses will have to be DNA tested.

pics!

Yay! Finally get to see pictures of Lily. Since I had to hide, I didn't get to see her work! Working on getting some of the lard off so she does better next time. I did get pictures of Boo and Lainey. I need to switch to my laptop to post those.

For registration you need an application for registration from the registry (or registries), a signed transfer of ownership from the owners. The sire and dam must be registered in the sellers names, both in each registry you are trying to get papers from, and stallion service certificates have...

It sounds like you have a great setup and the dog background will help you a lot. Horses are different though in that they are prey animals, not predators like dogs so big differences in instinctual behavior. Something you might want to think about is Monty Roberts University. Monty is the...

The smart thing to do, especially with no horse experience would be to send your mare to a trainer to start driving. It is very important that she gets a very solid education in the basics and started the right way. A wreck in the cart can ruin a horse for life for driving not to mention get one...

A good book to read (yes, my name is in the credits) is Getting Your First Horse by Judith Dutson. Her intended audience is adult first time horse owners and everything in there applies to all horses, big and small. Listen to podcasts by Horse Radio Network, especially Horses in the Morning and...

We have a mix of board, woven, and electrobraid. Nothing wrong with electric fence. Once they know the fence bites they stay off of it and makes life much easier. A good book to read (yes, my name is in the credits) is Getting Your First Horse by Judith Dutson. Her intended audience is adult...
