Coyotes are getting more brazen in our area. Weve seen a full sized one trotting down our street the middle of the day, with a chicken in its mouth before. And just a couple of months ago, 5 of my chickens were killed by a coyote in our back chicken coop. Dug under the gate.. (one chicken was...

Here is my 28" Stallion Jubilee who is a Cream/Champagne.

Here is our 27 1/2" Stallion at a bit over 2 years old now. Getting pictures of white horses is my newest picture taking challenge,lol Obviously I could use a bit more practice. This is Jubilee a Gold Cream Champagne.

To date I have not yet had one colic. However I am an avid practicer of the proverb that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.. And even though a company may re-imburse, is it worth the risk? My experience has been that if a mare does not go into a pregnancy wormy, there has never...

My heart goes out to you on your losses. I have not yet lost a foal, and I have been breeding for over 10 years. There are some things that I do different that I can share with you to consider. Long ago I spoke to a large pasture farm breeder with around 30 mares, that told me that she does...

I agree... that filly's face is kissable! Here is my double dilute 27 1/2" Stallion named Jubilee. (I hope cream plus champagne counts)

Can we try Number 131?

Ive learned that some stallions will think a mare is comming into heat when they are close to foaling, and will chase or herd them due to this. So her time may be approaching soon.

Yes This can happen.. Here is a personal experience of mine. One lady who brought her mare last year to be bred by my stallion told me that near her due date this year, the mare had lost her pregnant look, and was peeing for their gelding just like she was in heat!. after a week or two passed...

I agree,- He is a Pretty Boy!

Ok Molly's run, I have noticed a difference in some stallions when it is durring that time of the month with me, -so yes, I have to be on guard if I am around certain types of younger stallions durring this time.. Truthfully I prefer to avoid these overly intrested pesky boys durring that...

Most stallions as yearlings are quite hormonal especially if around mares.. They will test you in many ways ..What they need is daily training sessions,( if even only 5 to 10 minutes a day) of you being in control of them.. This way they will learn to respect you.. (Teaching them whoa, backing...

Many people who choose not to vaccinate are doing so out of informed decision making. Many educating sites are available if someone is intrested in knowing more about vaccines and their affects on the immune system. Here is only one well documented report...

I agree with Ann. Just because someone doesent choose to vaccinate does not mean that they are making the wrong choice. Vaccine damage happens with animals as well as children, so there are risks to be weighed either way. Once you know the story on both sides of the coin you are in a better...

The breeder,- being as experienced as she is, has had many foals under her belt, and she is confident that the wee fellow is normal.. She has most likely seen a dwarf or two in her time, and knows he is not one. I am also certain that she understands the concerns of some that have made...
