Hi Guys I havent been on here in months, just crazy busy and still suffering with this damm glue ear which I am hoping to deal with in the coming wks by going to someone that deals with homeopathy and try that route. Anyway thought you might like to see some fuzzy wuzzy pics of my babies. Not...

Shimmer was due July 1st and to be honest I was even questioning if she hadnt snuck in another later cover as she had no development at all. No udder yesterday morning but then last night had 1/2 a bag so tested milk on mother nature strips and it was 85% but I could see it was close to...

Well Shimmer was supposed to foal before Slaney - her 330 days were up July 1st but Slaney had decided to get a wiggle on and go first. Anyway Shimmer had no bag to speak of and I was starting to think that maybe she had snuck in a 2nd cover (like she did last yr) so I was working out some new...

I thought I would share a few pics of my latest foal which I have named Banners Golden Warrior. He arrived 4 wks early and I certainly wasnt expecting him so when I went out to feed in the morning there he was. He was bone dry and seemed to have sucked and pooped but he was pretty weak and...

I hadnt even gotten round to starting their threads but Shimmer is due July 1st and Slaney July 12th. Even though the weather was awful yesterday evening, myself and my neighbours sorted out the moving and changing round of horses. We brought Sunny and Buck down to the big field and brought...

Banners first 2012 foal has arrived and its a Chestnut pinto Colt. His dam is a taller mare and measures 38" to the withers but she is pretty and has legs on her like a supermodel. Banner is 31 1/2" to the wither and manged to cover her all by himself. He was well chuffed with himself and it...

Rosie is my 21 yr old matriarch and she was my first introduction to the miniature world. I have her since she was 9 yrs old. She is old style but partbred Falabella and Miniature Shetland. Anyway Rosie hasnt had a foal in 6yrs. 5yrs ago she went with an american stallion and was in foal and...

I was wondering if it might be a good idea to do a pinned and closed thread (ie. no posting) but putting foaling information from start to finish and including our best pictures of for eg. a mare starting to spring and how she progresses, a normal hooha up to one that is ready for foaling, a...

I had my mare Shimmer and Stallion Sunny tested for splash with UC Davies and their results are as follows Silver Grace Silver Shimmer (Also tested Homozygous Black and Heterozygous SB1) Splashed White SW-1 Result: N/SW1 - Horse has one copy of the SW-1 mutation. Splashed White SW-2...

I did a head and neck clip of Buck and thought I would share a few pics. Excuse how dirty he is but as you can see he is a double dilute, LOVES to roll and lives outdoors (and up to now we have had very wet weather) Also I hope you dont think he is bum high but he has a very fluffy bum. Buck...

I thought I would share the story of Buck Uveitis. Buck is my DD colt who will be 6 months old on Dec 5th. Butt to go back a little around the end of Sept Buck developed sunburn (yes sunburn at the end of Sept in Ireland) but we think it was because he ate something to cause the sensitivity...

Does everyone find that most mares tend to be from 180 days onwards before they feel the first foal movement? Also how hard are the kicks compared to gestation? As in do you find that at 180 days they are only very slight vs. further on in the pregnancy where you are getting something that...

I finally have Sunny getting back to work after he pulled the muscle in his back. He could have come back sooner but I had my hands full with the mares so thought it would be no harm for him to have a holiday. Anyway we went back to the groundwork and its like he had never stopped. So this...

I took some pics of the foals today but it was hot and they were not up to a whole lot Buck - pic might look odd as I removed my dog from it Tilly My husband got a new brush and Tilly thought it was great for scratches

Well after leaving her nameless for a few days she now has a name and I am calling her Banners Shimmering Silhouette or barn name Tilly. She is a fiesty little thing so definately takes after her mother. She loves bucking and rearing and she is going to keep her mother on her toes. Here are a...

Shimmer is my first maiden mare (the others were proven brood mares) and I have had her since she was 6 months old. She has done very well for me showing and she is in foal to Banner my AMHA Buckskin Stallion. Shimmer is homozygous for black so I know it will be Black, Smoky Black, Buckskin or...

Well I thought I was really prepared and had a list of 30 names put together in lots of different combos to suit colts and filly that I liked. So along comes my first colt this yr and not one name jumps out at me - none of them seem to sit right on him. His sire is Birchwood UK Buckaroo Banner...

Well after watching Tease for a month I missed her foaling as my own mare was foaling around the same time lol - I told you they were in cahoots Anna lol. She foaled a beautiful Perlino Dun Colt (very distinct dorsal - dam is a dunalino - daddy is a buckskin) His cannon measured 7 1/2" and he...

My mare Slaney is at 347 days now but is creeping along each day and looking a lot closer. Udder is huge now and teats have separated but teats need to fill more and point down more. Her milk has gone from Golden Syrup to Honey to a very pale honey tinted colour. I tested her milk this...

There are a lot of you out there that are breeding Champions for yrs and even for the newbies through a lot of education and being open to idea are also nailing their breeding. So I was just wondering what is it about your breeding programme that gets you all excited and when you see the...
