WOW!!! It's amazing how much they can change color. I guess I will just have to wait and see! Thanks for the pictures!

Thank you! For future reference, what is it about him that would cause you to say "liver" chestnut? What's the difference between chestnut and liver chestnut? Is liver just darker or is there something else?

Yes, that's what I was thinking. He does not have a black mane and tail or silver, so he couldn't be bay or silver bay, I just do not know where the dark splotches come from. So there is something called a sooty modifier that can throw dark splotches?

We just clipped a couple of our colts yesterday. One of our colts was born looking like a sorrel pinto. Over the last couple of weeks, he started shedding out very dark around his eyes and his ears and we noticed that at the root of his hairs he looked very dark. After we clipped him, he has...

Thank you Sandy! I am so glad Gracie is happy and laughing again

Ahh Nathan! I knew you would have very abrupt, specific answers for me ~ THANK YOU! I knew I could count on you!

Thank you Stacy for your "2 cents worth!" I would like to think that my 2 senior stallions are those that just know when the time is right. I pasture bred my mares last year and these 2 boys got every mare given to them pregnant in the first month. I had 8 mares all foal in the month of...

Thank you for your reply! The mare that has the stains down her back legs did not get them the first day that I hand bred them or the next four days when she was in the lot next to the stallion. The next day after she WAS bred, I did not try to breed them, but for the next 3 days, I tried...

Thank you so much for "bumping" me, I really do appreciate it! And thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I have the best solution of all! Just send her to me! I have 2 two acre lots that are both more than half shaded and one more smaller lot on our lake that is almost completely shaded. I think she wants to come live with me Poor baby, I know how she feels. I have very light blue eyes and...

I am hand breeding all my mares that I want bred for 2012. I have hand bred mares before, but never so many, and I did not realize it could be almost as exhausting as foaliing season!! Anyway, I have some questions as each of my mares have behaved completely different! 1) Will some mares...

Thank you for the information and sharing of experiences! I am very relieved he does not have to be moved right now since I do not really have any other place to put him at the moment I was pretty sure he could not be fertile and I am glad to know there are no other reasons why he would...

At what age can he actually be fertile and need to be seperated from the mares?

I am used to seeing foals jump up on their dam's backs, or any other horse/or foals in play, but one of our 1 month old colts will walk up to any of my mares that are in heat sniff around them for a minute, "drop", get an erection, mount the mare from the side, swing to her rear, and immediately...

WoW! Then I have plenty. Thank you so much for the conversion!
