She was much better today and I can now walk up to her outside. Thankfully, she's settling in just fine. She is still a bit of a nervous type, but i think it's mostly bc she's always been with her buddies. She's more nervous when she can't see her barn mate. But, she's coming around. I'll keep...

Imo, if you have to ask ... dont do it. I considered breeding too. Glad I didnt do it. I vote buy what you want. Its much cheaper in the long run and easier.

what do you mean?

Thanks for the recommendations. She was actually a little more friendly today. She let me walk up to her and pet her in the pasture even. I think with time she'll come around. I do, however, think her teeth are definitely bothering her. I'm sure she's probably never had them done, so I will...

Fly sheet and fly spray with sunscreen. Maybe the black as knight supplement.

Do any of you have any tips as to get my new girl to have a little interest in people? A little background: Shes a 24 yr old mare that was used as a broodmare most of her life. She hasn't been handled much, but she is halter broke and she ties and loads. She doesnt stand that great to be...

I have quite a bit of experience with founder/laminitis. I currently have a mare (Mini) who came to me previously foundered and in the middle of a laminitic flare up. Hands down.... a product called Simmerdown. Results I have seen, have been amazing. It is not safe for pregnant mares tho as...

My question is.... why? Why do you want to breed your mare? So much can go wrong. Complications could arise, you could petentially have a huge vet bill, a dead mare, a dead foal, and any number of other complications. In this day and age, with horse prices the way they are, it is much cheaper...

I would like some opinion on a filly I'm looking at. If you're interested, I will PM or email you the info. Thanks!!

He's grown approx 3.5" since I've had him.

I didn't measure legs. I forgot all about that last night. I will do that tonight. The breeder said he was the tallest foal they're ever had born there. His sire is 30.75" and dam is 32". He is lean under the hair, but not thin. I don't like to have my young horses heavy due to joint...

I measured him at roughly 30.5" last night. I forgot to look at his papers and see what month he was born tho. Darnitt. I'm thinking March, but I'm not positive. He is on a good feed (Triple Crown), daily turnout and close to free choice grass hay.

I will look for the height chart. I need to measure him and see where he is at now. He is still quite a bit shorter than my mare and she is 35.25"
