Your mom is my hero of the day. I have so much respect for those that take their responsibilities to a higher level. Hugs to you both.

With all due respect this is where some of the Anti-slaughter voices make sense. It is still fascinating that so many people think that regulation would change the way things are done. Regulation has been in place for years, laws have been on the books for years, violations, over & over again...

I also know undercover people and most of us are PETA & HSUS bashers. I also attend kill-buy auctions and flipped lips on TB's in the kill pen. One thing about slaughter is the lines are drawn and have been for some time - doubt anyone is going to change their mind in regards to this subject...

Thank you! Is there anything in daily life that would have you check thyroid levels on any of your mini-mules?

As expected Bashful is gaining weight on air and the tiniest bit of food. He just gets handfuls of hay every now & then throughout the day, on a dry lot, and 2x day gets fed an ounce of plain beet pulp, 1 ounce of Quiessence (for his crest and previous founder) and an 1/2 ounce of his vitamin...

The previous owner of these lovely horses is my hero of the day. It takes someone special to realize they need to make some changes, and some of those changes can be heartbreaking, but in this case the owner cared. The horses were so lucky to have her.

$40/trim big or small.

Well, Bashful has been her for a week now and he's had vet care, new diet, talk with Bonnie and farrier work. He's also got good poo! He's awfully cute! He's totally blind in the right eye. Vet feels that it was an accident because no light bounces off. Bonnie said he didn't even know he was...

All my equines will do ANYTHING for Cracklin' Oat Bran!

I use LinPro ( www.foxdenequine.com ). My 2 minis - and now a mini mule! - get hay pretty much free choice, and get 1 oz. LinPro, 1 oz. Omega Horseshine & 1/2 oz Quiessence with a spoonful or 2 of beet pulp split into 2 feedings. Usually the only treats are a handfull of BOSS or Cracklin' Oat...

How lucky you both were. What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful dog. The soul never dies and he'll be giving your new puppy lessons from above.

Thanks so much for the advice. First thing I did was do a search on this forum. I'm not panicing so you've done a great job explaining things now and in the past! I'm not a bute user at all so that works for me! I've only had 2 mild colics with my severe IR biggie mare a few years ao with...

I guess he was meant to come here but I've never been owned by a mini mule before. He's darling! In 24 hours went from bashful to comes running when called. Vet comes tomorrow but he doesn't own a mini mule so what better place to come than here! I've got a few questions after doing a search...

I've heard about this case, read sheriff's comments, etc. That you took the time to get involved makes you my hero of the day.

Incest doesn't work for people, dogs, cats or wild animals. Why would it work for horses? It's called line breeding when it works out occassionally and inbreeding when it doesn't. It has been known to wipe out herds, packs, prides in the wild. If mother nature says it ain't right what would...

Oops~!! Forgot to add that your state is in the top 5 for neglect/cruelty laws. If you need any help just let me know.

Her eyes say it all. My last project had to be clipped toward the end of Dec. in Ohio weather but it was necessary. He had open harness wounds under a matted coat that hadn't seen a brush in years. Mine would also quid his hay. Just from my experience you might do well by getting vet out as...

You can read the story of Tiny Tim here: http://chronicleforums.com/Forum/showthread.php?t=124825 Timmie was a "party pony" and his suffering was preventable. I had asked someone from this board to spring him - at my expense - but I never heard back. I don't regret one moment of caring for...

If horses are dying of dehydration & colic please call AC. Keep calling, & calling & calling. If you have an AC officer then they are obligated to return calls and most are obligated to investigate each complaint. At this point I'd go down and make a complaint in person. Document anything...

I'm just now finding a dvd (Foundation Training for the Harnes Horse by a gal named Patty Cloke. I bought at EA a couple years ago and plan to get the other 2 of the set this weekend if Star Lake has them! I'm going to pop it in tonight but I hopped on her website and on this page...
