Thanks for all of your input Carin. I still haven't received the info from her. I did go out and tape him again (tape measure) and according to Lil beginnings info pages, his weight is approx 359 lbs. She did tape him at 415 and I'm not sure what happened with my calculations before she came, so...

Carin, I didn't see your post when I posted the other reply. Thanks for the info, I was getting very concerned about the head hanging so long. Yes he is overweight, I would say about 50 lbs or so, he's 36" tall. Just a very easy keeper, I did not know about the nose bleed possibility, I've never...

Thanks to all who replied to this post. My guy finally woke up enough to eat and drink around 6:30 this evening. I had been checking him every half hour and wetting his mouth and tongue the last hour and a half. He was able to move about around 5ish, but his head didn't rise above his knees. I...

Yippee!!! Now we can hope. Maybe we should all e-mail the sheriff's office a big Thank you for all their good work.

Marsha, I don't have a problem being there for it. I kind of got tickled at that. I do appreciate the concern, but I worked for an equine vet for over 10 years and assisted on quite a few of these. I will admit it is much harder to deal with when it's your baby. Now having the background that I...

Thank you ohmt for your kind thoughts. Carin, around her it is common practice to start with xylazine IM, wait for woozy the go to the Ketamine cocktail IV. I've assisted on quite a few castrations, and only saw this when a generic was used. I don't have the "list" of drugs used but plan to get...

What a nightmare of a morning...after much consideration and reading all the good posts about gelding aged stallions...I finally made the decision to have my 11 year old stallion gelded. I still have a mare and a filly, just not interested in breeding anymore. So, to make his life less...

I agree with everyone else and am guilty too. I too am waiting for the November breeding to get ripe.

Thank you minimini.

I am so sorry for what happened to your horse Sheri. It takes a real low life scum bag to do something like that. I have been e-mailing a friend who is at worlds...they have had to put 24 hr surveillance on their horses due to threats. It's a shame people have to resort to that level.

Thanks for the update,and great letter Parmela.

Does anyone know who won the futurity grands today...I was watching all day and had an appointment, a dear friend was doing well and just wondering if anyone can tell me who won those. Thanks so much.

Hi Kim, One other thing to remember, you can get the blades sharpened. I had a friend borrow some blades once and dulled them, and she threw them away. I couldn't believe it, but she had no idea they could be sharpened.

Something to consider, a lot of these big farms are out there snatching excellent quality horses from these small farms. It's a shame so many think it has to have a certain prefix to be valuable, there are so many quality horses to be found from a small breeder. Another point to consider is once...

Something to think about, did you order any more blades? For the price you can't beat it and will want several, just to switch them out. The blades can get very hot and if you have several you can line them up and just switch blades and keep on clipping.
