    Gelding vs. Stallion???

    Again, I thank you all for your thoughts and opinions. Regarding the biting issue, this little guy was biting from birth and being reprimanded at all times, hence my frustrations. I started out pinching his lip, and as he got older, I have to admit there are times when I've wanted to beat the...

    Gelding vs. Stallion???

    Well I am just THRILLED at your responses! This gives me so much hope because now I know he can be a really extraordinary little guy when he's gelded! Can't wait until next Friday!!!!

    Gelding vs. Stallion???

    I'm having my 2 yr old stallion gelded next week and would appreciate some feedback on what your experiences have been. My guy is a love-bug when he wants to be, and nasty (biting) when he wants to be. He can be very aggressive with me at times and I definately don't take him on walks alone...

    Could my mare get pregnant by 1 1/2 yr old?

    Thank you for this valuable, and possibly late information! My colt has a date with the doctor in 2 weeks for gelding. As a side note...he didn't "drop" until well after his first birthday. Another scary question though...if the mare is pregnant, is there any danger since they are somewhat...

    Could my mare get pregnant by 1 1/2 yr old?

    I have an almost 2 year old colt/stallion that has been turned out with my mare. Is he old enough to breed with her? She's looking rather chunky and I'm just hoping she's not!

    Training with a Bit?? What do you think?

    Hey...thank you all for your great advise. I will most certainly NOT go the bit way, but use your suggestions with the stud chain and re-visting the basic ground manners. I love this forum!! Thank you all for your help and I'll give you an update in a few weeks!

    Training with a Bit?? What do you think?

    My yearling colt is somewhat halter trained but not as I would like him to be. Due to an illness and eventual death of my father, I didn't have as much time to train as was needed. First of all, this beautiful guy is our pet...no show ambitions. For exercise and fun, we take our horses for...

    Mini's eating chicken feed????

    I'm not sure how much they ate. It's probably been 8 hours or so since I found them. It's 108 degrees here and humid. They are all running around in the sprinklers right now as if no one feels bad. How soon can they start colicking if they're going to?

    Mini's eating chicken feed????

    Well, I stupidy forgot to latch my feed barn and my 4 minis got into the chicken feed. Not sure how much they munched on and how full the bag was. What can I expect?

    Colicking?

    Thank you for all of your ideas and thoughts. FYI...he's 17 months old. Not sure if that intitles him to be a colt still? This morning he started to roll around. The vet came out and didn't hear any sand in his gut. He gave him Flunixin and Banamine. This evening he's been laying down and...

    Colicking?

    Thank you. He lays down, in the sitting up way. No rolling. He's in with my other 3 horses. He's had lumpy-cow-pie poops lately. I just thought it may be the heat. We're just about in the triple digits. We have misters on and the other's are taking it in stride. I'll check on him every...

    Colicking?

    My colt is not eating this evening, seems lethargic and laying down uncharistically. I took him for a walk, and gave him a little mineral oil. How much could be effective? I just gave him about 1 teaspoon. Should I give him more or wait it out?

    Ivermectin Overdose??

    Thank you all. My vet called and also assured me that she should be okay. To be on the safe side, she suggested giving her about 60cc's of mineral oil and maybe something soupy to munch on to help it pass. She also confirmed that using Quest is not advised because of the on-the-border-line...
