    I have come across ads for many places that cater to rvers with horses. Also many boarding facilities that have rv hookups. You just need to get on the internet and research what they have in areas you want to go.

    observations of the horse industry

    It's been a looooong time since I posted here. For those who don't remember/or know me, I had a ranch in Rogue River Oregon raising, breeding, training, showing pinto minis. I had a fair amount of success making many champions and taking my overo stallion Doradas Spiritwalker, to the world...

    Rescue Auction Update

    That filly had been on Kandi's website as a daughter of the sabino stallion out of a little splash red/white mare, #105, who I bid on for Gayle Torres in So. Calif. She should be a 2yo.

    Rescue Auction Update

    Hi all, It was a very busy weekend and I am exhausted from all the activities. It started with the potluck and we had a pretty good turnout. Sue McCoy organized it and it gave us a chance to meet each other and that started us off with instant new friends to discuss the auction with. We were...

    Dragon's Wish Farm

    I think you have an interesting plan that may work. In this financial climate it doesn't make sense to keep breeding horses. The market is in the toilet and it is expensive to maintain stallions and mares in the hopes of breeding a few good horses. You can look around and find exactly what...

    177 confiscated horses up for auction *UPDATES 11/18 & 11/30 pg 1*

    The vet they used is not my favorite and $150 is excessive compared to other vets in the area. They are taking absentee bids and if you are out of state and need to arrange transport, I would be willing to offer boarding and transport to my ranch from the sale. Out of state friends have asked...

    CMHR $3 Mission of Thanks : Final items, huge thank you Pg. 19

    The auction for the Oregon horses is December 8th. They have matched up papers for the older horses but the young ones will be sold unregistered. The SO MINI group is getting the word out to help these horses but 177 horses is a lot to absorb into one area's horse population. These horses...

    100 Minis Confiscated and in Need of Help

    I have to say that the video can leave you confused as to why the horses were confiscated. I have first hand and very familiar information and I can well believe the horrors they found out there. Animal control had very good reason to go out there or they wouldn't have gone. They have tried...

    New Filly Dwarf????

    We have a term in the medical field, "FLK", funny looking kid. It means you look at a kid and something just doesn't look right and that is what you did with your little girl. She just didn't look right to you and your gut instinct was right on. That said, dwarves have the most wonderful...

    Clipping a filly who hates it!

    Personally I wouldn't try to wear down a yearling with exercise. Too much for a baby and they won't equate the exercise with standing still to be clipped. A friend had a show filly that was far worse to clip than yours sounds and it took both of us to clip her and I can tell you it was a...

    While on the topic of pinto patterns....

    Being a paint breeder for many years, it has often been said that bay is a hard color to break. Meaning solid bay bred to pinto was hard to get pinto on resulting foal.

    Conformation lfaults in the legs and showing

    Many times you will see a top trainer win with a horse that is less than perfect and people will say it is because of who was leading the horse. Sometimes it is but also those trainers have learned how to set up that horse to hide any conformation faults. There are many, many tricks to hide...
