Thanks everybody. We are slowly getting better. I don't tear up anymore. Russia is outside and enjoying the nice 50* temps. She seems to have recovered well. The vet said that in the case of hip lock, which is less common in mares and more so in cows, it is usually a matter of saving the...

Day 339

her pH strip was so green I didn't even bother to compare it to the scale. She is rubbing her butt a lot.

Bored and tired of waiting. Her pH was still 6.75 or 6.5 . I literally have the exact breeding date so know how far along she is.339 days. I hope she isn't working on adding an additional appendage. I am hoping for a filly.

Please help us watch! 207-441-9409 or 207-660-1206 Russia is on cam at http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=bitoblue She is a daughter of White Russian and is bred to my BTU son. Hoping for a buckskin filly! Today she is 335 and her milk is testing at 6.75.

This is Yukon, our colt born on January 22, the coldest day of the winter here in Maine. It was something like -10* and the windchill was close to -30*F. His Dad is a BTU son and his dam is a Buckeroo granddaughter. They are both bay-- something like 7% chance of getting a sorrel out of 2...

He covered her last Thursday.

We have hand bred up until this spring. I have 4 mares in with the stallion (I've been using him for 2-3 years). Last Thursday this particular mare stood to be bred. She is still following the stallion around with her tail up but he won't breed her. The problem is that I need to start her on...

I spend a lot of thought and time taking pictures and videos of my horses. I had to buy a new computer and my current video camera is not compatible with it. I am considering my options. I will not be spending a lot of money on this-- the money went to the new computer. My still camera...

I saw this on TV getting ready for work one day and I was so proud!!!

It was close to 50* here in Maine today, January 1, 2012. And I couldn't resist taking a lawn chair out to the baby's paddock and sitting down with my camera. For these shots I am holding the camera high above my head!

AWWWW I'm so glad she's going to such a good home, Angie! She is going to be very very lucky!!

Are there any quarantine facilities in the northeast US?
