I'm so excited to finally introduce our only 2011 foal, a beautiful, delicate filly born Monday evening at 345 days gestation. We haven't decided on the perfect registered name for her yet but we've been calling her Bliss. I'm a little lost on her color, she can only be a black sabino, bay...

Our mare Trouble is finally testing ready to foal and looks like she will be foaling very soon! She is 345 days, white milk, very low pH, pacing, pawing, looking at her belly. We'd love for you to join us in welcoming our new little one! If you can, please say a little prayer for the safety of...

Does anyone know if late entries are accepted for this show? I don't think I can go, still trying to work that out BUT I just realized there is only one other A show in SoCal this year and I need to qualify my mare for the World show So A) can I still enter her? and B) I think I need to find...

While I am very impatiently waiting for our only 2011 baby to be born, I thought it might be fun to see what people think she'll have and when she will foal I am secretly hoping for a filly (shhhh) but as long as it's healthy and well-put-together I'll be thrilled with a boy too. Trouble...

I just wanted to post this in case anyone else was interested in watching this show. It's on iequine.com right now, I think it ends tomorrow. It is early afternoon there now, they just came off lunch break (9:10 am PST here) Arabians are the breed I was in before I got hurt and could no longer...

We were unable to attend Nationals due to my ongoing health issues but we were lucky enough to have two wonderful trainers step in to make sure both of our horses would be there to represent us Our beautiful colt Cross Country Ericas Heart Afire (Sparrow) had only been shown twice (by a...

The past couple years I don't post on here enough for most people to notice if I'm not here but some people have messaged me to see if I'm ok so I thought I might let you guys know what's going on and ask for prayers. I would really really appreciate prayers and good thoughts. Right now is the...

I have been unable to reach my regular farrier and my horses are now overdue. Can anyone recommend a good, gentle farrier in the LA/Ventura County area who is experienced with minis and reliable? I have 6 horses to do, 2 of which are showing next weekend so I'm in a bit of a hurry to find...

My mare Whitney is 287 days today. As posted before she has been bagging up for about a month and has previous problems with premature/stillborn foals. She has not had a surviving foal in a long time. We still have her on mega-doses of Regumate, Banamine and she just finished a 14 day course of...

This is my first year breeding with my own stallion and his first year breeding as well. He was born later in 2007 so not really 3 just yet. He has been breeding my two mares over the last week (hand-breeding mostly). Of course they came in with in a couple days of each other I hand-bred him...

I wanted to share last weekend's photos with you. My 2 year old daughter Peyton LOVES helping me with the horses and loves hugging and kissing the horses every chance she gets The tolerant mare is Sparkle, my 2 year old Big City Bucks filly from Erica Killion, this mare has the most amazing...

My mare Whitney had been on Regumate, SMZs, banamine last month due to early bag development. It stopped, regressed so we went back to just Regumate. The past few days she's started up again. She is at 229 days today and on the meds listed above as of yesterday. I don't think we are going to...

I took a picture of my 2 year old daughter Peyton with her new best friend, my Buckeroo daughter Belle, that I really like. I've had it as my avatar for about a week but I wanted to post it anyway Please excuse my daughter's jammies, we just throw on shoes for morning feeding Here is Little...

Many of you went through all our drama last year when my mare foaled early at 282 days. Yesterday morning, when I checked her she was about 1/3 of the way full, a drastic change from the morning before. This morning, fuller still Last year she started bagging up about 11 weeks before her due...

You were so helpful, you are now rewarded with... more questions! I fed Grand Coat for a very brief time last year then d/c it when it became apparent I wouldn't be showing that year. I just started my show horses on it a few days ago. Who has used it? How well does it work? I am very amateur...

I currently feed Equine Jr/Sr, Omelene 200 and the Bermuda. I would like to change the Bermuda to something else - I am tired of the waste (it's such a messy hay!), I seem to have to feed a lot of it and in researching the nutrients it seems that Orchard Grass might be a better choice. Who else...

I still can't even believe it - I feel like I will wake up from this dream any second. I have THREE new horses and I am thrilled about each one of them. Two arrived a few weeks ago and the third... well, it is my birthday today and I have gotten the best present ever from my husband, my very...

I know with my puppies bites can occasionally go off for a short time then return to correct, as well as those who stay off What has been your experience with a young horse who's bite is about a quarter to half a tooth off? What about if you are selling the foal? What if you are retaining it as...

Just came across this news story - poor little thing, I hope its owner is reunited soon, they must feel awful. My mares and their babies got loose once when my housesitter left the gate unlatched, and I will never forget the horrible feeling of not knowing where they were or if they were ok...

Hi you guys - what a great forum this is! So, I am very much a newbie to driving minis (although I did train my Arabian mare to drive when I was a kid. I don't think I did a very thorough job LOL but we managed). I am planning on starting foundation training with my two 2 year olds in the...
