80% shade is a tough area to plant up! : Here are some of my favourites. For earlier colour try Bergenia, Primula, Epimedium and Pulmonaria. For later colour throughout the season try Ligularia's, Kirengeshoma, Aruncus, Chelone, Cimicifuga, Heuchera, Ferns and of course, Hosta. Be very...

Dove is so lucky to have owners like you. Great news that she has pulled through and well on her way. She is so cute! :

Lots of prayers for a full and speedy recovery.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Pete was buried on Tuesday evening in an area along our forest edge. I miss him so much, he sure was a character. Thanks again everyone.

Silver Dapples and/or Flea Bitten in colour are my absolute favourites! :aktion033: One day, I hope that I will be blessed with a matched team of Flea Bitten geldings. I have to agree that seeing a well matched pair of either colour mentioned above, under harness, brings tears of joy and envy...

So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

:no: Our family is very saddened by the loss of our gelding. We were blessed with his presence in our barn for a very short time but loved him dearly. The pain of loosing him at such a young age is very difficult to deal with and I now know what anyone who has lost a battle with illness is...

Sending prayers for your mare. Poop and pee prayers too. Hope she's feeling better real soon.

Thanks Virginia. Never thought of pneumonia. How would he check for it? Actually the vet did mention that he thought it might be respiratory, listened to his chest and then mentioned that it would be normal for the horse's breathing to be strained a little due to the fever. He said it is how...

So sorry for the loss of your foal. Very sad. Wishing for a speedy and full healthy recovery for your mare. Take care.

Has anyone had this happen and what might be the cause? Since Thursday, my 3 yr old gelding has had temperature fluctuations from normal to 104. The vet has been out to treat him for fever twice however, there are no other symptons. He is eating but very little. He is drinking water, taking...

Yes, Drew won! :aktion033: I really thought Stacey was a great dancer and had a lovely personality. Terribly disappointed when she was voted off before Jerry. :no: That was really unfair. Ohh well...great fun watching the dancers and look forward to the next episode.

My vet suggested I feed them a warm, soupy bran mash drizzled with molasses. Beet pulp (soaked) is greatl however, my horses hate it. The bran mash is always enjoyed and this would ensure some water intake and warms their bellies on a very cold night. :

I'm so sorry for your loss Lynn.
