I found a harness at a sale and bought it. It has the words WICOR ENT (or maybe ENG)in a horseshoe on the shaft carriers and a horseshoe on the blinders. Seems like a nice enough harness, but I can't find anything about it on the internet and was wondering if anyone knows who made or makes...

I bought a mare last summer,registered as a cremello. She was bred to a red roan stallion. Today she had this filly. I thought it was buckskin until I saw the tail, which is not black. Can buckskins be born with a tail that will turn black later? I looked on the AMHA studbook to see what...

Had this filly on Mother's Day. She wasn't due until the 26th, but luckily all went well. She was the mare's first foal, so am thankful for that!

I took my little 10 day old dwarf to the vet today because she was getting more congested in her lungs. He took x-rays of her heart and lungs and discovered her heart was mis-shapen, leading to fluid build up in her lungs and around her heart. He said she would suffocate from all the fluid and...

I guess the Easter bunny is very angry with me for some reason. First of all on Saturday night about 9:00 the mare I was watching started foaling. The foal had its head down, but I managed to get it before the vet arrived. But it is a dwarf and has very lax tendons although it can stand and...

Just wondering if anyone was at the Little King sale and maybe you could share what some of the horses brought. Thanks.

I got the Feb/March issue of the Journal and I think it is great! Not only is it on time, it also has (finally) some pertinant articles in it. There was also a new look on the Area news pages and some of the other ones. Not quite sure if the paper was heavier, but seemed like it. All in all...

I was just wondering in case I needed it this summer, if anyone has ideas on the best treatment for strangles. I've read so many varying treatments that I thought I would ask you who may have ever had it or know someone who did. What was the treatment? Thanks

I have never shown in AMHA before, but thought about doing it this coming year, so when I was filling out the work order form to renew my membership, I was going to get the amateur card and then noticed the Open Exhibitor Card fee for $25.00. Does anyone who wants to show in an open class need...

Got the color tests back from UC- Davis on the two Little King horses I bought. The buckskin filly is heterozygous for black/red and for Agouti. I thought she might have a silver gene in there because her tail and mane are kind of brownish instead of black, but no silver was detected. The...

I just got an email from Robin and they have cancelled the Little King sale. I am disappointed as I had airline tickets already purchased but I totally understand how stressful things are for them right now. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about the Little King sale Oct. 23. I was planning on going, but not sure if they are still having it since Dr. Eberth passed away. Is anyone from Iowa, South Dakota or Nebraska going if they are still having it? Thanks for any information.

Just watching the AMHA show online and decided to comment on a couple things. The first one is the announcer. I wish someone would tell him to not yell the names of the horses as I cannot understand him when he is so loud and drags out the names of the horses!! Does this bother anyone else...

I have a friend (really) whose four year old stallion has one very small testicle and the other one is not as large as most stallions. The vet thought that he may have been stepped on when a foal thus retarding the growth of the one. Have you found that testicle size has any influence on...

I seem to be having strange things happening here. Friday a mare started to foal two months early. It was backwards, so I called the vet and she came out and got the foal, but the mare had prolapsed about 4 feet of her bowel through her rectum from straining so hard. I have never seen or heard...

I know a horse that has its sire listed as sorrel and the dam is palamino. They say that one of their foals is white/cremello, but this is not possible is it? In what situations could this even happen? Even going back it doesn't look like there was any dilute gene on the sire's side. Both...

Hi. This is the first time I am doing DNA testing for AMHA and am unsure on what to do with the papers they sent me. One paper says to send back to AMHA - is this after I get the results or when I send the other paper with the hair on it to the testing lab? I tried to call AMHA today, but...

Just wondering if everyone else was getting a poor quality picture where the horses look like they are travelling in slow motion or stopped altogether. I thought the AMHR ones were so good that I expected better quality at the AMHA World. Maybe it's just my computers, but it is the same on...

I was just wondering if anyone remembers the discussion about deaf horses and the LTD horses that were deaf? I am looking for the link to the farm that had them. Thanks!

I am sorry to say I lost my father over Memorial Day week-end. He had an intestinal blockage that required surgery and since he was 88, and had a weak heart, he couldn't pull through. His name is Robert Eberhard. He and I raised Miniature horses and he was always there watching the foaling...
