Don't worry Cassie I am allergic to horses, cats dogs, hay the list goes on and on but I have learnt to manage it so you would too

great thanks Renee

how do you manage it? I suppose I would have to wear gloves...

Naaaaaw widdle Finn. He is such a classic squishy pony! I always want to give him a snuggle, especially with the added winter fluff!

great thanks Renee

how do you manage it? I suppose I would have to wear gloves...

I don't have as many allergies as Renee but I do have a slight hay allergy and I react to some of the local grass seeds. On a bad day any loose hair can also irritate me. I get through those with allergy meds which I'll take in the morning during hay season or when I'm clipping.

My serious allergies kick in with my skin, I react to a lot of chemicals in modern soaps etc

so I've learnt to be very careful. If I miss something and react I don't mess around and go straight for my prescription cream. A few applications and I'm usually back to normal.

Actually on that topic how often do you wash your hands with soap? One of my dad's friend's had a reaction on his hands that sounds a lot like yours. Since dad is used to my reactions he suggsted the guy stop using soap dispensers, he is now almost problem free! Could you try only washing your hands in a very natural, very mild soap? I use a goat milk soap with manuka honey in it

Most important thing is learning exactly what sets you off, then you can learn how to avoid it.

Fabulous pictures Cassie - they all look great!!

Thanks for the update!

 

[LittleRibbie]

Cassie, that little Penney has the most beautiful tippy ears...good lord...her first 2 pictures? They dont get any better than that!! Im really loving her lots and lots!!

Great pictures!! And that little Finn? What a teddy bear he is. He's alot smaller than Cam I think. Cams all clipped which might make him look taller. Well I have poop to scoop so Im off but have a nice Aussie Day!!

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Thanks for the cute pics! Love them. Poor Finn, hope he feels better soon, in the long run he will be a happier boy! prayers its not horses. Let us know when u find out.

 

[Mima Acres]

Awwwwww, they are all so lovely!! Thanks for sharing those pictures

 

[cassie]

ALL the pictures are great, Cassie!!! They are all looking fine!

So, have you worked out the "scheduled" breedings of these lovely ladies, so we'll get to watch for more babies??

Thanks Diane

with breeding them, I'm still not sure... I want another baby or two next year (I really want to see what Penny will produce) but I also want to show them... so I'm trying to decide if I should take them to a few early shows in early spring and put them into foal for 2013 foals or if I should hold off for a year, have a full year of fun with showing them then put them into foal for 2014 foals... lol I want both! hehe, I'm thinking go for 2014 foals because then the girls will have had a full year of showing and hopefully do well.. fingers crossed :s then I'll know a few more stallions and know whether my girls are good enough to be bred etc. lol decisions decisions decisions...

would love your advice on it

please

Thanks Bree, he is typical pony isn't he!!! stupid Mark (previous owner) said Suzie always throws more horse type then pony type LOL WRONG!! I love his tiny pony ears and big eyes hehe. when my friend who shows mini ponies comes out to see Suzie I want to see what she thinks of Finn lol obviously its hard with the MASSIVE coat he has at the moment LOL but I'm thinking he could be quite a nice pony type... he seems to have most of the requirements they ask for lol but what do I know, I just know that he is a very special man to me and I'll love him either way!

Thanks for the wdvice too. we use all chemcial free stuff at home, and I have been staying away from the soaps, but at the vets I have to use the soaps and harsh chemicals with disenfecting and cleaning and such... :s lol 2 more day till I should know! lol

Awwwwww, they are all so lovely!! Thanks for sharing those pictures

Thank you

I love all my horses and love sharing them with you all

How about putting Penny in foal and showing Suz and Finn with the ponies. The next year you can swap and show Penny and her new foal with the horses, best of both worlds!!

Fin looks like a stuffed animal!! I want to squish him and snuggle tight. Penny makes my heart pitter patter and I love Suzie. What breed is your Smartie?

haha thanks Sandy he is like a teddy bear isn't he! and he LOVES a snuggle!

Penny and Suzie are my special girls thank you

My Smartie man is an Australian stock horse

he is in his winter pjs in that pic, but here is a pic of him from last summer

he was in some wedding photos which is why he had a bit of makeup on his face LOL

all natural summer before last.





before the photo shoot

Thanks for your kind words on my horses they are so special to me

 

[Sandy B]

Oh Smartie is a man after my own heart! Love that Quarter Horse influence I see in his athletic body & kind eye!!

thank you

he is my first horse and so is very special to me but I'm very glad you like him to! he is the sweetest sooky man! and always neighs at me and follows me everywhere! he loves it when we ride in the paddock and have fun rounding up the cattle (we don't need to we just like to LOL)

I wanted to show him a bit, as I think he is a really nice type, but he is 23 this year, so probably a little old for it, his grandsire was a VERY well known sotck horse. I just love my Smartie to bits

I always wanted a Quarter horse, but if I couldn't get one, then I wanted a stock horse, and Smartie is just a dream horse! perfect first horse an absoloute gentleman and still loves to run even though he is getting older! lol

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Smartie is hansome! Finn what a cute little furball. Good luck with showing, it is fun! Your pretty girls should do well.

 

[Equuisize]

Nice pix of the kids, Cassie. It's funny when our guys are all loosing their winter fuzz to

see your kids all fuzzing up for the winter.

Man I wish I was a brave as you, getting Finn gelded, to move forward on gelding Zakky.

I am chicken and Michael is being 'such a guy' about it.

It's going to have to be done sooner than later but......

Guess when having had all fillies this part of wanting a boy was stuffed to the back of my mind.

 

[Eagle]

Yes Cassie your kids are looking great, Smarty is a gorgeous boy

 

[palsminihorses]

Great pictures, Cassie! I love the one of Smartie with Finn 'visiting!' Thanks for sharing!
