Hi Davie, Thanks for the heads up on this. But what department do we call to set up an appointment? Could you share the number that you called? Thanks, Barbara

I have a mare that consistently foals early. Her earliest was at 289 and her latest was 305...all of her babies have been healthy and show no evidence of being a premature. And that comes from the vet who was called out in a panic the first time she foaled at 305. She is a tiny mare being...

Thanks for all the suggestions.   I checked carefully for lice and couldn't find any. I am not real sure what tolook for...I have seen head lice on children so I was assuming it would looksomething like that.   I went out and tried to buy some "swat". I couldn't find that brand,but I found...

I need some advice. Several of my mares are scratching terribly this summer. They are tearing up their manes and making bloody sores on their necks, face and ears. It has been VERY hot this summer, averaging well over 100 degrees almost every day. I know that my horses all scratch more during...

Hi Rira,   It is good to have you back and posting on the internet again. I am glad to hear that repairs to your fencing is coming along. I am sure this heat is making the work miserable. Thanks for the update.   Barbara

Here is some more information....I guess they left 20 horses and 40 dogs with the owner when they took the others away yesterday. That means that the cycle is going to continue. This link has another video and a bit more information. http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/98918389.html

She is beautiful Stephanie! Her pinto patterns are nicely balanced on her legs. She will look great in cart some day. Congratulations! Barbara

Welcome to the wonderful world of Mini's. ....But if driving is your ultimate goal, then you still have a ways to go. Don't be too quick to buy a cart or harness. A mini needs to be AT LEAST three years old before really begin heavy training. The last thing you want to do is to jump in too...

I just walked into my barn last Friday and found a new baby that I was NOT expecting until April24th at the earliest. From my best calculations this foal was about 290 days gestation. The baby was up, totally dry and nursing just fine. There was NO evidence that she was premature. But even...
