    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...

    Time Of Year Connection For Red Bag/Dystocia Loss of Foal/Mare

    Saturday morning we had a red bag and lost a perfect full term black colt/blue eyes out of a 32" 4 yr maiden mare. Mare has a decent hip as both her sire & dam were National Champion driving horses. The stallion is 32 inches and refined. The colt's head and front legs were tucked underneath him...

    age of stallion for foal registration

    Does the stallion have to be 3 years old when a foal is born to get it registered in AMHA? Or is it only the mare needs to be 3 years old. Someone told me AMHA changed the rules on this and I can't keep up with all their dang changes.

    stallion report

    Just a quick question-is it too early to send in 2009 stallion reports for AMHA and AMHR now or do I have to wait until January 1st? Breeding is definately over for this year.

    Just how long can a maiden mare go before foaling?

    I know this has been asked before but I can't find it. I have a 4 yr old maiden mare who just refuses to give up her foal! Her last breeding date was 10-12-07. Sept. 17th would have been 340 days so today she is on day 362! I had her vet checked in foal early in the pregnacy. Her bag keeps doing...

    My Emergency Vet says she can't afford me???!

    I just read an online article on horse.com about vets helping out their clients because times are tough. My vet, I should say X-vet called me last week to tell me if she couldn't do my routine work (vaccines, worming and yearly check ups) she couldn't afford to keep me as a client. Apparently...

    WNV vaccine-which is best for pregnant mares?

    Which one do you use and have you ever had any problems with it? I don't want my mares to abort but my vet says both are safe for pregnant mares. We have had too much rain this year and I can't possibly find all the pools of water that are hatching mosquitoes. I'm nervous about this but really...

    The VIP horse sale at Walbon Acres in PA 4-12-08

    I was just wondering if anyone from the forum will be attending the VIP miniature horse sale at Walbon Acres in Littlestown, PA on the 12th of April. I REALLY want to go but I am afraid I will want to buy and I don't have a trailer. I live just outside of York, PA. I am looking for anyone from...

    AMHA Look up please

    I have a 4 year old AMHR mare who's entire lineage is AMHA except for her sire and dam who are AMHR (of course- it's the AMHR registration paper that I'm looking at.) Non of the three are over height. I'm just wondering why someone would just drop the AMHA. I would like to get her AMHA papers if...

    What's the best way to disinfect a foaling stall?

    I have one foaling stall and am expecting two foals this year, June and September. Right now the stall is being used as one of my run in stalls from a paddock and there are two different mares that come and go in there. I know I need to disinfect before the first mare is due and afterwards for...

    tetnus vaccine

    This might be a dumb question to some of you but I would really like to know. Why is the human tetnus vaccine effective for 10 years and the the equine vaccine only good for 1 year? Wouldn't it be basically the same vaccine?

    How do you teach a mini to lie down?

    This is probably a dumb question but how do you get a mini to lie down? I am currently working with my 8 month old filly since she seems to be the most eager to learn some tricks. I sit in the middle of her deeply strawed stall and get her front legs under her (looks like she's praying) but she...

    Question about Pneumabort-K

    I have 2 mares to foal this year, one in July and one in September. According to my vet and most literature I should give this at 5, 7 and 9 months. BUT !! I have been reading lately, especially on this forum that some breeders say they have had mares abort after giving this shot. Now I am...

    Sweetwaters Thunder & Fire- any pics or info

    Does anyone know of this stallion or have pictures of him? He is the sire of my coming 3 yr old blk/wht stud. I keep a medical/informational folder on each of my horses and I like having pics of both sire and dam if I can find them. I know he is at least AMHA registered, may be AMHR also.
