Can anyone tell me why and how a completely healthy one month old foal would have ulcers??. We have been breeding and raising foals for 17 years; I had lots of sick babies over the years, but never one like this. Our little Poco was fine on Saturday afternoon, a very spunky little colt, by 8:30...

Pasturing stallions together can be a risky adventure as boys will be boys, and there is always the risk one will hurt. But I understand the danger especially with young studs, that one will be become the dominant stud, rule the roost. and other studs will become NOT interested in breeding...

I am shocked. I just spoke with Amy yesterday around noon and she said she was headed to the Nationals. Does anyone know what happened; it must have been sudden. Thinking of her and her family. Wendy

Yes, there is a way to transfer the data from one computer to a another. NO, you do not need to input all the info again. Please contact us at Breed Manager. Also, message to our all wonderful users. You should back up your program from time to time, in case your computer blows up.!!

I would suggest if this mare does not foal very soon, you might consider having your vet check her out. Just to be safe. I had a mare doing the contractions, wax and milk etc once and NO foal arrived. So asked my vet to check her out, the foal was into a position where it was impossible to...

I think people just plain over-feed them because it is convenient for the owner. And too much grass easily packs on the pounds. This is especially true when you see a mini living in the same pasture with an adult full size horse, so if the 34 inch mini and the 15 hand horse are on the same...

WEll I am convinced it is hormones!! I have one mare that is itchy on her butt, back legs, neck and face when she is pregnant. She will rub the hair off in spots and have open wounds as the pregnancy progresses. Last time, the vet thought she had mange, and of course we could not treat her...

Thank you everyone for your comments. Maybe I am being over cautious, and yes, I have heard of violent mares that can actually kill a stallion. I am beginning to think my dear sweet Rosa mare could be one of those "killer mares." For now the stallion has settled down with one mare that is...

I would like to know how to get mares and a stallion live happily together. We have been breeding minis since 1994, and always hand breed because I like to know exactly when foal will arrive. I guess I like to be in control of foaling season!! But we have tried pasture breeding over the years...

I think it depends on "what type of Judge", you are showing under. I remember years ago, competing in a Ladies Driving Class under a Judge who turned out to be a "Carriage Driving" man, and he lined us ladies all up and lectured us stating, "Ladies should look like Ladies", meaning hats and...

Great Question and I will look forward to reading everyones comments. Like yourself, when we got into minis back in 1993, most studs traveling the show circuit were around 30inches, which was fine, but IMO, did not produce great driving horses (which is my passion) with those long legs for...

Congrats Kim on another gorgeous appy !!! And I really like the mommy too.!!

Is it possible for a mare to conceive, then come back into heat and willingly be bred while she is actually in Foal.??? Last year I bred a 3 year old maiden mare in early June, and she returned to heat six weeks later. So we bred her again. All breedings were hand breedings. This mare has...

I agree 100%. A big belly on a weanling/yearling is more than likely Protein deficiency. We bought one once with a severe problem caused from weaning too young and no feed as a weanling. Growing horses need lots of Protein, especially that first year. We saved our filly with Purina...

If you want to be sure about your mare, have your vet do an ultrasound. I had a mare once that was ultra sounded to be in foal, she got huge, developed an udder and even had lots of colostrum. Finally when she was over due of more than a month and driving me crazy; the vet re-ultra sounded...

I would be very careful driving any horse on the road that only has been harness trained since last year. Your horse is still new to driving and has lots to learn. Call me paranoid, but does not sound too safe to me. Remember horses are flight animals. I teach 4-H kids to drive my horses...
