I did today, and afterwards wondered if I was setting myself up for trouble. I gave them one each. What do you think about letting them have sweet potatoes, uncooked, as treats from time to time? Stacye

I realize that farriers are busy folks. I'm sure that you all have plenty to do. I don't have a problem with anyone if they will do what they say they are going to do or if they will respond to courtesy with courtesy in kind. BUT. Here is my problem... Farrier #1 came once to do the minis...

Saturday was SO GORGEOUS! Sun was justa beaming and the temp was balmy and spring in the air and all, I thought that it would be a good day to let a horse or two out into the yard to munch on some fresh green stuff. Worked out real good to start with. We got Bockie and Cruiser out and they were...

I would like to have some assistance keeping the undergrowth down in the woods around my home and farm. Someone suggested goats. I know NOTHING about goats other than that I think they are cute. I've been told that they are good for what I need, but I've also been told that they are hard to...

I really don't need another horse. He's a stallion. Granted, he's pretty, and tiny, but the original owner told this owner no papers, and he's 8 years old. Dunno what I'm gonna do here.

I have a small herd of seven. All are family pets. We don't show except locally for fun. I've seen some LOVELY horses marketed with the Falabella name and am thinking of getting a filly. The ones I've looked at online are lovely on their own terms, and the Falabella name just adds to the...

Since Cruiser reinjured his eye he and Jeff have been in the yard. I tried to bring just Cruiser, but he and Jeff both went nuts, so I brought Jeff too. I've spent more time just watching them and interacting with them than usual. Cruiser is a normal horse for the most part...does horsey...

This may be old, but I just saw it, and whether it is true or not, it still bears reading and taking to heart. > >> A man in Grand Rapids, Michigan incredibly took > out a $7000 full page ad > >> in the paper to present the following essay to > the people of his > >> community. > >> > >>...

My stallion Cruiser, who has the prettiest blue eyes, has injured one and I can't get ahold of a vet and it's a long weekend. Are there any home remedies or first aid options to prevent infection until I can see a vet, or do I need to start looking for emergency care? His eye looks cloudy, but...

There is a mini horse sale and show coming up and there will be some mini-donks there. I think they're adorable and I know my Mother would just love one and I don't know a thing about them. Mini horses I know about, but not donkeys. I just know that they are cute. What do you think? What to...

We've been talking so much about mares making us wait, and from another thread it seems that it is becoming fashionable in the mini-mare set to hold onto those fetuses for a while this year. Does it cause problems with registration in either registry for the mare to go over...say 385 days...

Lyn, I figured this would get lost in your thread, and I wanted you to know... Starbaby still has not foaled. Somedays I wonder if she's even pregnant or just fat, but then I feel the baby move (I think) and say, OK, go ahead...take your time. Apparently Megan is pregnant too, she still has...

This morning, no local channels. I figured that perhaps there was a cloud overhead or something. This afternoon after school...no local channels. I called my Mom, right across the pasture, and she has hers. OK...perhaps there is a cloud just over my house. I looked out and no cloud just over my...

I was going on the assumption that Megan had lost her foal about a month ago. She looked trimmer and her udder went down quite a bit, but not all the way. Yesterday I was brushing her and I put my head on her back and put my arms around here in front of her flanks, where you'd feel a baby. I...

Megan was definately preggers. I thought. She made a bag and all. I noticed her all trim looking in the pasture, and after a day or so her bag went down somewhat, so I assumed she'd lost it. Never found hard proof. Her former owner said she got small and lost her udder about two weeks...

He was buzzing around looking at the nail where the feeder is supposed to be hanging, so I fixed up some nectar for him and hung the feeder. Now I've seen three different ones. The little green man, one with a black head, and a little female. I find it absolutely amazing that these little bitty...

I was told that AMHR requires stallions to be three years of age and permanently registered before they begin breeding. EDIT: I just searched and found a thread from January that answered my question...sorry, jumped the gun. But, let me make sure I understand. Cruiser will be two in May and...

I misread the stallion service certificate the first time and thought she was already overdue, but the last date of exposure was May 30, 2005, so she could possibly go a few more weeks. What do you think? These were taken last Saturday (April 01) I am soooo impatient... Stacye

I am a teacher. Some of my boys are over 18 and are volunteer firemen. Yesterday there was a fire call and three very nice, upstanding, big hearted boys left and came back different. It was not a fire, it was a horrible wreck. The driver was dead at the scene. One of the boys came back to...

I can't for the life of me get the blade back on my clippers. I did it once, when I first got them, but I can't make it go on and stay on. I really wanted to clip this afternoon. Help? These are new clippers. Only used once.
