    COPD - Update Pg. 2 ... We lost her.

    Kendra-Has your vet been out to see your mare yet? Madmax-I only stated what 2 different vets told me. The one recommended putting a fan in her stall and wetting down her hay and grain. The other one just told me to wet down her feed and keep her out of the barn. She isn't crazy about wet feed...

    COPD - Update Pg. 2 ... We lost her.

    I have a little mare that has copd/heaves. It started slowly and progressively has gotten worse over the past 2 years. She is worse in the spring and on very hot days. I have 2 vets tell me there is nothing medicinal that will help and it can't be cured. I have to make her environment...

    Its almost that time again

    My first foal of 2012 was born on January 5th and I'm in PA. The mare is 8 years old and this was her first. I tried getting her bred for 4 years but it just never happened. Last winter I thought I would just leave her in with the stallion for company. What I got was a half faced medicine hat...

    Had my first scare!

    I had the exact same thing happen to a mare of mine about 4 years ago. Last year a visitor showed up with some in her pocket. Before I realized what she was feeding, another one choked! Luckily in both cases the horse worked it up and out. The problem is those little ready to eat carrots, they...

    Congratulations! What a cutie pie. Wasn't this the mare that was carrying all to one side?

    Mares...what have you noticed that they do they do differently just before foaling?

    I am watching a mare right now that has been doing that backwards thing. She swings her butt backwards, walks backwards and then goes back to either eating or sleeping. It's kind of funny looking but weird. This is her 3rd foal for us and I never saw her do that with the first 2 foals. Crazy mares!

    I am having a hard time deciding

    Something doesn't sound right here. Personally, I would not sell anything to this person.

    Number of minis

    11 was the highest number. Now I have 10 and am expecting 3 foals this year. I have 12 stalls and my husband says that has to be my limit, so 1 or 2 will be sold this year.

    Has anyone seen the recent pictures of Einstein?

    Somewhere on his website a news reporter stated he was 20 inches high and 6 pounds...had to be a typo about the weight but he may be 20 inches.

    Has anyone seen the recent pictures of Einstein?

    They would have to know by now and yes he is still being promoted. He has his own website: smalleststallion.com

    Has anyone seen the recent pictures of Einstein?

    In the back of my mind I have to somewhat agree with what you said. I do think Einstein's publicity just might bring new buyers to our farms. Then it is up to us to educate the public about dwarves the hard way, 1 person at a time. I would feel so much better about this if they just admitted he...

    Has anyone seen the recent pictures of Einstein?

    Since there are ongoing threads and comments about dwarfism, I would like to get people's opinions on this. New thread started on the dwarf forum with new pictures of Einstein. I can't get the pics over here so maybe someone else can. He still has the larger head he was born with but what I...

    Dwarf Question.....

    I voted yes. The dam is obviously dwarf and if as you say the sire is a "known dwarf producer" then he carries the dwarf gene. Both sire AND dam need the gene to produce a dwarf. To Manyspots: sorry for your shock but this stallion carries the dwarf gene, you cannot blame the resulting foal on...

    Sorry to bother you guys

    All I see is a very cute doe eyed colt. Not dwarfy at all.
