I thought I saw on this forum a link to a map that shows selenium levels? I can't seem to find it in the archives so maybe it was somewhere else. Does anyone have the link per chance? Also, our little patch turns in at the knees, with the right leg a little worse than the left. Hubby & I...

Gosh, I wouldn't think putting the horse down was the answer. Are they not trying to remove the obstruction? With antinflammatory & pain drugs irritagtion can be maintained & large scarring might be controllable. We had an arab to have what our vet called an "esophogeal choke" (probably...

I'm wondering what normal, or maybe I should say "average" newborn mini foal behavior is? I've read 3 mini books, Blessed are the Broodmares & Blessed are the foals... plus endless web searches... but I want to hear from real people. So, how much do they sleep in the first days of life? How...

Yep! For sure it's a scam. My parents received this same email about a full-size horse they had for sale listed on horsetopia. She reported it to her web server. They told her they were aware of it, so is the federal trade commission but this is so wide-spread it's difficult to track down...

Can someone explain how to put pictures into your post or point me to an explanation somewhere else? I thought I was fairly computer savvy, but this has me stumped! I love looking at the pics on here! Thanks, Crazyovergracie

Yes, yes... this is the little foal that was bred due to inbreeding (although not by us!). He's 36hrs. old now and seems to be doing okay, so far. : He did have some loose stools this AM and we are watching him like a hawk, but he's active and is nursing just fine as mom now has an abundance...

BLESS YOU! & Thanks!! :aktion033:

I finally figured this out (I think). Here's our new boy. He still has no name, bless his heart. I'd love to hear some of your creative suggestions ... (Sire: Timber Ridges Dakota, Dam: Rubies Amazing Grace) http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/eell...-R1-036-16A.jpg Thanks for letting...

How active should a newborn foal be? Do they shiver alot? Foals eyes have gotten red and have a discharge -- at first thought it was due to irritation from hair, straw, etc.... Second guessing myself and would like to hear from veterans. I've heard a "bright red tongue isn't good". How red...

Thank you all so much for your responses in the wee hours of this morning. :aktion033: I truly did appreciate it! : Gracie (4yr. mare) is doing great and is a fine mother so far, with the exception of NOT producting milk on her own. While she did have a slight bag, she just didn't produce...

This site is truly amazing.. thank you, thank you for responding so quickly at this hour. Both my husband & I truly can not get anything from the mare and have spoken with our vet. Gracie has always been on the "lean" side of producing a bag, we've been a little concerned anyway. Vet is on...

1st foal, 1st everything. Birth went okay, foal looks good. Mom is squealing and pushing baby pretty hard when it comes at her front legs trying to find a teat. Have helped foal in the right position.. Mom seems to have NO milk? Can mares sometimes not have milk for a few hours... do we need...

Because I too, have completely gone mad with my first "mare stare" ... I just have to say this is absolutely the funniest thread I have read in some time! :aktion033: I literally have been doubled over and had tears streaming down my cheeks at your comments! I've laughed so hard, I wasn't...

This is great! :aktion033: I'm literally laughing out-loud!!!! The answer is NO... I've never milked anything. I can't believe I even had to ask such a thing. THANK YOU so much for the help, I will try again and see what happens.
