Jax, I am just like you in that I feel like I have to analyze everything to "know" what happened and not be guessing. That is a good thing really...but harder on us as people. My filly with choke was on a dry lot. Her bowels moved, but again not much because she couldn't eat or drink. Her...

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I lost one of my best fillies last year with symptoms "exactly" as you describe...walking backwards, hanging her head, circles, no drinking water...nibbling at hay...chewing a little, but no swallowing...foaming at the mouth...diagnosis was "choke"....I...

Earlier in the year I sold a mare to Autumn Olford of High Meadow Miniatures. She is a great lady. We have kept in touch fairly regularly. I e-mailed her about a week ago to check in and see how she was doing. I have not heard from her. She has always answered my e-mails right away. I...

I really have to give the OP credit for being new to minis and recognizing right away that this foal is a dwarf. I know personally of some people that have been in the business for 11-12 years and have no idea that some of their foals are dwarfs. They show photos of them and say how beautiful...

Thank you so much for the links. I have found all of the information very interesting.

Thank you very much Lewella. That was very informative and interesting. Again, thank you so much for posting that link.

I see this all of the time, but really have no idea about either. Can anyone please explain them to me? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

This is a little off topic, but not really. It justifies registration to me in any case, with the exception of dwarfs, of course. I purchased a bred mare in 2000 and in 2001 she foaled a pet quality stud colt. I sold that colt to a good home on application, they gelded him and he is their...

LilHoofbeats....I perhaps would understand it more if it used to cost $2000 to hardship a mare and now it is $100, that is a significant difference. But honestly, if I have a horse that I think needs the AMHR registration papers, the current "full price" would NOT stop me. I think Renee is...

I meant every word of it Renee. You have contributed so much to the breed. Don't throw in the towel now, over a registry or any other matter. Also take a deep breath and a walk through the pasture and look at all of those beautiful horses, don't let them or yourself down...now or ever...

Renee, you have always been a highly respected breeder in this industry and I am sure you will continue to be. I wish this didn't bother you so bad, but obviously it does. It is a wonderful opportunity and savings for several people who take their breeding programs just as serious as you do...

I confess that I have not read this entire thread, only the first page, so if what I am stating sounds like I have missed something, perhaps I did, LOL But I have several splash overo minis and a few frames and none of them are deaf. So I do think the internet article that said 90% of them are...

I also am very sorry that you feel this way. My entire herd is AMHA and most are also AMHR registered. I do have a handful of mares that only have AMHA papers. I have never had any trouble selling their foals as AMHA registered only, but I have intended on hardshipping them into the AMHR...

Little Kings Buckeroo Bandstand. Love him....he will take your breath away when you see him...even in his winter woolies .
