I guess I am going to have to give it up and start counting, everyone asks this question! I really try not to keep track,as long as there is not a number you can kid yourself that you really do not have that many at all! I keep saying somewhere around 22.

I have

A palomino stallion

A palomino/pinto mare

A grey mare

A chestnut/pinto gelding

and NO MORE ROOM!
 
Our small farm seems to keep growing. When we started a few years, I never imagined we would have this many. But...they are all loved, spoiled, and very well taken care of. With such a nice quality group of horses it is hard to complain

1 Stallion

10 Mares

1 weanling filly

1 weanling stud colt

A Grand total of 13 blessings!

Updated/Edited 9/26/09:

We've grown pretty rapidly!

After our sale of 2 weanlings to England, four bred mares and 2 yearling colts all in new homes this year ........

that still leaves 46 horses total with #47 arriving first of October (that's still a secret).

7 stallions (5 breeding stallions, 1 yearling stallion and 1 non-breeding AMHR driving fun family stallion - gee, maybe I should offer him for stud so he earns something to cover his feed? lol)

7 weanlings (4 colts, 3 fillies)

9 yearlings (all fillies - mostly retained from our previous foal season)

Rest are bred mares (yikes! 24 bred mares!)

3 of the bred mares belong to Elaine Jones as they are bred to our Buckeroo son.

Her 3 mares live here full time so while we don't actually own them - we care for them and love them of course - and will be foaling them out along side our own.

Elaine has a special place in our hearts here at White Tail and is the only outside farm exposed to our Buckeroo son - with her 30+ years as a breeder – it was a huge compliment that she approved of our Buckeroo son to breed three of her top mares to him. These will be his first foals and she’s sharing in the excitement.

After having over 30 for years I am down to 24 here right now with two weanlings leaving soon. And I still have

Mr It leased from Tony also.

So it looks like I'll have either 21 or 22 for the winter.

We have 10

3 mares -

7 geldings..well ok kinda we have a yearling colt and 2 mature stallions both set to be gelded if and when Fall ever decides to make an appearence
default_wink.png


We "might" have one stallion cover 2 of the mares in Oct and see what happens but while we have not tried very hard neither of the mares seem to be great in the repro department so not counting on anything

Actually technically we have 9 minis one of the geldings is a ASPC yearling -

2 Stallions

4 yearling colts (all to be gelded very soon)

5 weanling colts

16 Mares (3-18 yrs)

4 weanling fillies

22 Geldings
 
I have almost the perfect number for me and my barn, because I refuse to have more than I have room to stall everyone when it is rainy or snowy, etc... So for me right now it is

1 stallion (and that's the way he likes it)

3 brood mares (bred for 2010 foals)

2 show mares (who dont seem to be able to conceive)

1 yearling filly (born and bred here, my first foal)

So 7 total and 3 on the way. I told myself when I began with these guys I would not go over 10. So I guess in 2010 I sell some or I stop breeding or buying anymore. I did sell two this year, but I bought one too

I made some major changes earlier this year, so I now have just 2 wonderfully spoiled minis who are companions to me. No showing, now breeding, no buying or selling. Just silly little furry faces that are always happy to see me.

As of today:

3-mares

2-weanling fillies

1-stallion (2 year old)

So 6 total, will be 4 after the fillies leave next month. I'm thinking I may even cut it back to 2 next year...just not sure yet.
 
97!!!!

4 donkeys

4 llamas

3 "big" horses

rest minis!
 
Ever see the T-shirt that says: "One horse away from being the crazy horse lady"?

I think it's all subjective
default_biggrin.png


We have bedrooms for everyone so I'm not the crazy horse lady, yet.

We are at 8, no babies next year so that'll remain static till at least 2011.
 
1 stallion

1 gelding our "first mini"

4 breeding mares (some double as show/driving minis)

1 non-breeding mare (does everything else)

1 foal/weanling

total of 8

and 1 big horse, Target, who the farm is named after
 
We have a total of 11

1 stallion (Smutty Buckskin)

2 geldings

1 weanling filly (sold and leaving tomorrow)

6 broodmares ( 1 probably sold )

1 yearling mare at trainers coming home next month

so after all is said and done we will have 9 again

which is where we try to stay for adult horses
 
I have two...a 3 year old mare and a 4 year old gelding.

I have a question for those of you who have TONS of horses (20 and above) - how on earth do you do it??? And how do you remember everyone's names???
