Hello Miss Charlotte!! Another consideration/complication of shipped semen is the HUGE VARIABLE of the recipient having a qualified/experienced vet for insemination. Arghhh! My friend used to ship semen from her two Friesian stallions, who required training to accept the phantom mare...

Terrific mama, you are! How many of us would allow our horses to be put on transport trailer, knowing their care during the journey will not be pleasant. Learned this the hard way on my first out-of-state sale -- buyer insisted on a specific transporter. Good thing I took pics of the horses...

Thanks for the reminder, Jean!!! I used to free-feed my mini herd in NE Wisconsin, but having a single horse has me second-guessing myself. Been feeding Jack three times a day -- with extra hay at night. Folks are giving me grief about him getting chubby, but methinks his winter coat is...

Years ago, the local "Barn Nazi" came over to inspect my newest pasture fencing. It was breeding season and my young son, known for his uncanny timing, asked, "Mom, where does the stallion's "thing" go when he breeds a mare?" The flustered, self-proclaimed equine expert beat a fast retreat to...

Can I see photos of your sewing room where/how fat quarters, half yards and 1+ yards are stored -- FOR EASY VIEWING and/or ACCESS? Thanks a million! Cindy

CONTRAGULATIONS, MA! Your new foals are absolutely darling..... hope mama(s) are doing well. Talk about bright rays of sunshine on a snowy day!!! Cindy

Ohhhh, what a gorgeous blue-eyed wonder! Hope mama is doing well and enjoying this precious new filly as much as you!

WOW..... that's one gorgeously fluffy fella with a face full of mischief! Hope mama is enjoying him as much as you!

Wow.... Thanks so much for posting everyone! LISA (Dark Horse Farm), don't be surprised if I take you up on your offer to visit! I really miss the smell, touch and interaction of my little ones and it'll be ointment to my soul if you'd let me fuss over your babies. I've been meaning to check...

Hello to My Mini Friends...... Our move from our farm NE Wisconsin to Northern Nevada (30 miles south of Carson City) in September has taken some adjustment. Not having horse chores and visiting with my "little, furry" friends throughout the day has taken quite an adjustment. Fortunately...

My son and I will be moving to Buckeye, Arizona this summer --- (we're making a "scouting" trip for homes on Wednesday, for one week). This past winter really "did us in" AND we're still waiting for spring to arrive, here in NE Wisconsin. Blazing hot summers of Phoenix sound good right now...

Macroon Cookies are kept in the cupboard on such occasions -- before trying actual medication (kinda like a home-remedy). Perhaps you may want to do a topic "search" on the "Best of the Forum".

On January 3rd, I discovered a mare we sold to a local family six months ago was literally starving to death. Immediately, I hitched up the trailer, and returned "Salty" to our farm. Two days later, the vet arrived and measured her weight to be 134 pounds (she was approx 250 pounds when she...

So very sorry for your loss -- and pray the mare continues to mend. Must've been an awful experience for the poor mama.
