My heart goes out to you!!!
It seems so unfair for you to be going through such a shocking time, ESPECIALLY if there was no fighting ... not ugliness. Life just throws these things at you when you least expect it?
I see from all the posts to your message that you are supported and warmly...
Hi Ashley~
We have a boxer/old english bulldog mix.
I can honestly say that I will always be an avid "Boxer" fan forever now. The breed is incredible and humorous and we love her so much!
Greetings All~
I am looking to get some feedback on the possibility of organizing a new Consignment Sale in Eau Claire, WI for AMHR/AMHA Miniature only quality stock.
Before I even consider embarking on such a venture, I wanted to get honest feedback from existing quality miniature owners...
:538: First of all "HI JERI" Oh my gosh... How very good to hear your voice (see your voice) Thank you for your kind words and I have tried to remember throughout this posting that perhaps things are taken out of perspective and people don't "know" me or my love for my critters and my farm...
:no: I need to re-iterate once again....I do NOT think that a yearling filly should run with the herd per say. Like I said, I have never had one at this age, hence my confusion at what happened. But my herd is NOT off somewhere in the natural to the extent that I do not have them close enough...

: O.K. - Please re-read my message, my web, my post.
I run my stallion with my herd, including babies not because I think it's cool or charming or "wild". I do it because I have first hand seen the benefits associated with doing so. This may not be possible or acceptable for many as...
I have taken some excerpts from various Equine experts to help defend my approach to equine herd/breeding management. Some of these are only opinions. Others are actual studies performed by Equine Analyst Groups in which many performed studies on "wild horse" in their natural herd...
: Yes, free country. I do respect the opinions of others though, thank you.
RTCR has operated this way for the past 6 years and I have NEVER had a problem. I think we OverManage our horses at times. That is o.k. An ounce of prevention can prevent a pound of cure....tis true.
: Just to...
:aktion033: I just read an incredible post by miniwhiny (spelling?). What a wonderful topic and how very lucky to have the opportunity to observe horses in the WILD!!!!!
I am sure this particular topic can be very controversial. I recently posted an announcement on the free sale board...
