I have some questions for those who are in real estate or have bought a foreclosure house before...specifically a HUD owned home. When an ad says "foreclosure" or "REO" can it also be HUD or do they only advertise a HUD as a HUD and not anything else? Should I only work with an agent certified...

Deb and I are looking to buy a house (farm) and are looking into any programs we may qualify for for a 0%-3% down. Anyone that knows of any please let me know...I can get you details privately for specific programs. This will be for a Florida property.

This is for those with horses that have HOF'd and/or have National titles (especially halter)...Do you continue to show them at the National level and hope they continue to place at the same level they have in the past...or does that matter to you? What if one year they win a National...

We bought this 3 horse GN trailer just over a year ago, with the intention of making it a Mini conversion trailer. Since the people who owned this trailer before us had Minis too, they had put plywood bolted onto the big horse dividers, so it worked for us as well. But only if we wanted to haul...

I have tried 3 different times to catch my mare's pee on a taped on pad for the WeeFoal test, but apparently I am not putting it on the right spot! LOL! Too low, too high, in a spot where poop got stuck...Ugh! Is there a trick to this? Who'd a thought it would be so difficult to catch pee on a...

My sister told me a few weeks ago that my dad has been spending time with a few ladies these days. (In case you don't know, my mom passed away November 10, '12). At first I was very upset and sad...as if my dad had already "moved on" and was not grieving for my mom anymore..."How could he just...

What is the youngest you've ever gelded a colt? Were there any complications from doing it so young and would you do it again that young? (Specifically want to know about colts younger than 6 months)

A little less than 2 yrs ago we adopted an older "blind" (cataracts) MinPin named Chanel. She fits into our family for the most part and altho she has issues related to age, she is doing well. A few days ago, her original owner (who had her for the 1st 10 yrs of her life) emailed us asking how...

I have a 4 yr old maiden mare that was only bred 2 separate times last year...once in late March and once on August 1st. We really did not think she would take, but in the last few months has gotten a real belly on her. We had her ultrasounded about 2 months ago and she tested "open". I was...

What happened the other day at a restaurant got me thinking and I thought I would ask...Have you ever personally saved someone from dying? What were the circumstances? Let's hear your stories.... My wife Deb will not toot her own horn and is being extremely humble about this, but I am so dang...

I have a 2 yr old filly that is super refined and while she is at a decent weight, she has no "meat"...I plan to show her this year and have been trying to bulk her up, but she is starting to get a belly, which is not what I want! I have started to round pen her, but I am concerned that she will...

But...mine is still a secret for now!

Many of your know from my prior thread that my mom was in very bad health and that I had planned to go visit her. Originally I had my trip planned for Nov. 21- Dec.1, but on Nov. 5, my mom went back into the hospital and on Nov. 6th, my sister informed me that I needed to "come home now". I...

I have 2 horses that need to get their AMHA registrations into my name as well as one being brought permanent and changed from stallion to gelding. I am not a member of AMHA and their site is not very user friendly IMO not to mention I called AMHA and left a voicemail and they have not called me...

It is soooo hard being 3000 miles away from my family (my mom especially). I knew when I moved from Oregon to Florida that I would miss them, but also thought I'd be able to go back to visit 2x/year and also my mom's health was not as bad as it is now back then. I have only been able to go...

Does anyone here suffer from Acid Reflux? I have had it for about 3-4 years now, but have always been able to keep it in check (mostly) by taking Prilosec (the generic brand). Last night was the worst attack I've had in a long time and I literally could not sleep for fear of reflux....UGH...

I am still pinching myself from my first class at Nationals! In a class with 42 horses, my gelding Vista del Valle's Uno Confiado (aka Khan) went Reserve National Champion in Amateur Senior Geldings Under! Since they announce Reserve first, I was in a state of shock I think...standing in...

LVL Gold's Moonlight Seduction (Sadie) went to her 1st show last weekend...at just under 4 months old and she did great! Soooo pleased with her....considering she got an ouchie on her nose where the halter sets and was mad about that and did not want to stand up and show! She placed 1sts in...

Deb and I had not shown since February (been too broke and wanted to volunteer at the shows), so this past weekend we really were looking forward to finally getting to show some horses! It was HOT, sticky and we sweated like a pig on a BBQ...lol...but we had a GREAT show!! This was (of course)...

Usually I don't have a problem with mares drying up after weaning their babies, but out Shetland mare is having a hard time. Her bag is staying pretty engorged and yesterday she wasn't feeling well. This is a mare who never lays down and she kept laying down while we were out feeding last...
