    GOT MY 100% AT LAST!!!!

    Barefootin - please open the gifts! I'm really concerned that the package was damaged . . . On a positive note, I received my gift from Susan Peterson, aka srpwildrose. It was a very cute light up bracelet, some yummy ghiradelli caramel squares (my favorite candy ever!) and an absolutely...

    Secret SANTA HINT THREAD!!!

    I gave a few hints, but there's always a few things I forget! My farm colors are royal blue and silver. I love little horse and buggie figurines. My favorite candies are caramels. A book I could share with my grandkids would be sweet too!

    What happens when you find you must use your head and not your heart

    There is one other thing you could do to see if the teste is just hiding out. have your vet knock him out completely and roll him on his backbone. If it's just lurking, it will pop up and you can have him gelded.

    What is

    There is no "Draft" miniature, or "Arabian" miniature, they are just breed types used to describe body structure and conformation of various miniature horses. 20+ years ago, most of the minis were heavier boned and stocky. Through selective breeding, the mini is becoming much more fine boned...

    My experiment with oats and a rant against the feed companies (UPDATE)

    Check with your local elevators or farmers for oats. TSC around here has always been the most expensive. Inspect any oats you get from farmers, just make sure they are cleaned otherwise you get too much chass, dust, and straw bits.

    DIY No wood stalls can it be done?

    I did a combination - I cut 4-8 sheets of plywood lenthwise and built a 2 x 4 frame around them. Laid them on the ground longwise, and put the small mini panels on top. I have lots of venitilation, and lots of protection. The 2' sections keep horses from getting their legs cauught if they...

    AMHR Futurity Judge and Judges Three-Year Rule

    This is a grueling show, and many judges don't want to do it. Bevann is correct, this would be the 4th year (4th Nationals) so any judges that worked the 2010 show would be eligible to judge in 2013.

    Hats for halter class?

    I've never seen a woman wear a hat in halter (been in the business over 25 years) . You certainly can if you choose, but one thing to keep in mind is if take it off to "bait", what will your hair look like?? Most men don't have that issue, and actually very few men wear hats in halter either.

    Night trouble someone please give me advise

    Healthy horses typically don't need heaters in the winter. (Off topic I know) , but putting heat in a barn can lead to all sorts of problems.

    New mini!! Pregnant? Lines? Info needed?

    The registry can't do anything about the papers if the seller refuses to pass them on. If I sell a horse as a "Pet" it's because it shouldn't be bred, or can't be bred for some reason. I've had people contact me with a horse I had years and years ago and want the papers. I've had to say no...

    Beet Pulp = Pellets vs Shreds

    How long did you let them soak and how hot was (Temperature wise)? Beet pulp sours quickly when it's hot. I prefer the pellets because they are less expensive than shreds - same price on the bags, but the pellets are heaveir bags.

    Best color for a smoky black?

    IMO this would make you blend in with your horse too much. A little contrast, again IMO, is best.

    Dying manes and tails

    The gloves used to AI cattle work great for covering the tail once it's got the solution on it. The gloves can be found at TSC or any farm store. I slide the glove on, tape it with electrical tape, and there's a lot less mess. Make sure to NOT use the blue'black = it will shine blue!! (yes -...
