I have 3 horses that I board at a stable. One is an andalusion, and the 2 minis (that live in one stall). I pay the same for both stalls. If I had only one mini, I would still be charged the same rate, as that is what the owner would get for the stall if someone else was paying for it. Unless...

there isis a condition that looks like this that is pretty prevalent at times in southern california called Dryland Distemper (about 20 horses at my former boarding stable had it: multiple honeycombing abscesses usually on the chest or neck- some as large as a foot long (on an arab)- you could...

all state did an awesome job for me. They hauled my little guy from texas a while ago in January(routed through their hub in colorado). since it was winter, and cold out, and his head and neck were clipped for sale pics, they made him a stall up in the dressing room, so his little face wouldn't...

is that the really pretty little bay mare that one of the Conder girls rescued? If so, I have a whole article on her with pics, etc from a magazine.

When one of my minis colicked a couple of years ago, he was not drinking much for a few days after. I did the "pinch test" on his neck (if skin stays up in a ridge, they are quite dehydrated). I gave him sub cutaneous IV fluids for 3 days (he is a 30" mini, and most of a liter would fit into his...

bobbie is awesome! She bred and trained my driving gelding, and he is truly a pleasure to drive! her email is [email protected] (or at least is was last time I checked)

the owner of my ranch SWEARS by Kerosene, and I know other people that use charcoal lighter fluid (run an internet search using either one, and you'll find a ton of pages), but I am a coward, so always have stuck with blade wash and kool lube.

on the subject of cross breeding, I've often wondered why no one is breeding either arabs or andys to the larger modern shetlands to get a really nice saddleseat pony. If the andy or arab is 15h, and the modern is one of the larger ones (maybe around 13+), it seems like you could tame down some...

This doesn't seem physically possible, but a canadian andalusian breeder (swan creek), has a foal on their pages that is supposed to have a mini (no registry notated) dam, and an andalusian sire. He IS pretty big in relation to the mare.... ouch!

check on the country's website (they should have an official gov website). Honduras is just south of Belize, where my vacation house is. To import into belize, you only need a health certificate from a vet. There are a whole slew of tropical fly and mosquito borne diseases in central america...

Merck company has it's merck veterinary manual online (free), which is a treasuretrove of info. (not to mention, it keeps us from being in a situation of "practicing veterinary medicine on the web"- refer to more recent forum post).

lol, I thought I was the only white lady getting funny looks buying black hair care products! afrosheen also works well for muzzles/ears, and those products are alot cheaper than the ones sold for horses!
