I'm in Auburn, WA. I have a rarely used Sligo Stick I'd like to sell to someone, but don't want to have to have it shipped. I'm asking $50 and can drive up to an hour to meet someone. I will clean it up, it's been sitting in a corner of my feed room for several years.

I am so sorry. Having lost two in one week, I know how you are feeling. Take care, Lisa

Thank you so much for your condolences.

I am sad to say Lucy did not recover. She was humanely euthanized last night. This has been a heartbreaking week for me.

I am really interested in this, since a majority of my horses are seniors and sooner or later won't be able to chew the hay very well!

The vet called with bad news--Lucy has developed enteritis. She's treating it aggressively and will call me later, but because of her age she may not recover.

Thank you for your kind words. The holes they leave in your heart when they pass gets filled up with all the wonderful memories. Lucy had a hard time yesterday--she didn't eat and pass any manure. She needed some extra fluids to get her going again, and she's doing better today.

Oh, I don't drain my heated hose. It doesn't freeze if you leave it plugged in.

Lucy is a chestnut. She's 26 years old. I will be happy with any extra time she gets! Her surgery was done with local anesthesia while she was standing tranquilized. It took a bit over 2 hours, since there were actually 2 large tumors and several small ones. She stays at the clinic a few...

One of my minis, Lucy, has a squamous cell carcinoma. She goes to the clinic tonight, and has surgery in the morning. It's on her vulva (ouch). She'll be there for five days. Has anyone else had a horse with this? My vet said that once it's removed the prognosis is very good.

I have a heated hose, and I love it! I leave it plugged in and hooked up to a spigot in the barn all winter long. I also have a heated bag for hoses-- http://www.doversaddlery.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_X1-27167 I put my coiled hose in this. I hang it in the aisleway of my barn.

I just adopted her three weeks ago, from Pierce County Animal Control. Here's the page of horses that they had at the time. She's the brown and white pinto called Sara. http://www.co.pierce.wa.us/pc/abtus/ourorg/aud/horses.htm

She was offered for adoption with no papers, or details about the seizure. There were a number of minis seized by Pierce County Humane Society in WA State. My vet thinks she's around ten or eleven years old. She is also pregnant. Should I get a photo to post here?

I recently adopted a mini from a local Humane Society. They did not divulge any background on her, except for her age (which the vet said wasn't correct anyway). She looks almost exactly like one of my horses--her pinto markings are almost identical! I would like to find out more about her...

Sorry to dredge up this old thread, but I've been considering gelding my 19 year old stallion and wanted to get some info. This past spring I had an appointment to have it done, but my vet scared me so much with all the talk of complications! So I put it off. But he's always lonely. He can't...
