thanks for the info folks, I really appreciate it

thanks Genie and Ruffian. I am suprised more people have not leased horses on here. I really need more suggestions please.

HI, I have 2 stallions I will be leasing out, and I am wondering how you have done this. One is going long distance, and the other is staying local. I know about doing the leasing contracts with AMHA and AMHR,and of course transport to and from my farm. Also they will have to keep up with...

I am sorry to hear something happened to Marbles. I wish her a speedy recovery. I think she is a GEM.

I have always used the cannon bone, middle of the knee to hairline on hoof, times 4 plus 2. All mine to maturity have been within oh, 1/2 inch of measurement. I have even done some of my adults, and figured them, and then measured them and they were indeed accurate.

ok, I have found something to murder the fire ants. It is called Over N Out, and I buy it at Sutherlands, a home improvement store. It is $25 a container, and kills them in a few days. They do not move, they DIE. I used it about 2 months ago on about 2 acres yard, and I am just now seeing...

LOL Love the name. I am anxious to see results of her testing

I have a friend that had a vary old pony mare ( like in her late teens, early 20's) that broke her pelvis. She always ambulated ok, but was never right. One of her legs had a lot of atrophy from not putting as much weight on it as the other. However, she got out and bred to a QH stallion...

I will tell Carlenehorse you did this for her!!

I am so sorry about Stomy. I would certainly do a necropsy to see if he was indeed poisoned. I would hate to think he was poisoned, but you never know these days. Hey, also, Oleander, do you have any of that? Again, I am sorry

We have a great club over here, Gulf Coast Quarter Horse Assn, and they now offer mini classes, and sometimes mare classes will have 8-10 mares, sometimes more. We go Mares, Stallions, usually 3-4, Geldings, maybe 3-4, and grand and reserve( overall) in halter. There are plans in the works for...

What a gorgeous baby. I am so glad he is here healthy and alive. I hope all those rescue mares are doing as well as Freedom!!

Hi, Welcome From the great state of Texas! Many people breed the tiny ones, I like the 32-33 inchers myself. I would just say, breed to a smaller stallion, and make sure you can be there at the birth to give assistance if you have to. Have fun with your filly!

Ferdinand ended up as meat, and he was an awesome horse..... Now, that was an incredible race, thanks for posting the link. I missed it the first go around!

I am glad to hear the colt is better, too. I thought I had posted previously, LOL Yes, ulcers. And my vet a lot of times just had me use maalox and pepto whenever there was a flair up on the mare I had. Both were used to coat the stomache. She finally quit with the ulcer thing, and we did...
