Hi everybody! Haven't been on the Forum in months, but occassionally can sneak a peak and see what's going on. Life sometimes interfers with the things we really want to be doing! : Hubbie and I are going to Italy this fall!! :aktion033: It's our 25th wedding anniversary and we've been...

Hi all, Haven't posted for quite a while, but have been watching and reading when I can. I have currently got 6 of my horses up for sale. I've had inquiries, some are serious, some are not. However, I have had many inquiries from people wanting to buy LOW priced minis, and I mean dirt cheap...

My husband and I want to pass major thanks to Equipage. We believe that having an alerting system in place, as well as barn cameras helped save our mare Spirit. When she had trouble giving birth to her foal on Saturday, only with the Equipage going off and our ability to see her instantly on...

Bandit our month old foal had a heavy coat at birth. He started rubbing his coat off in places, looked like he was molting. I asked several days about clipping him at one month, it has been very hot here. Got several responses in the positive, so I gave him his first bath this weekend, we all...

AFter our loss of our appy colt yesterday morning, we were really down in the dumps about foaling. The mama was doing OK - but cast herself later in the afternoon. She had only been down a very few minutes when I found her, and luckily she was fine. I watched her like a hawk the rest of the...

Last night I checked our mare Fergies Silver Spirit before I came inside. She is very ticklish from mid-back on, so I was shocked that she let me raise her tail and actually got to check for color. She was a "rose" color, so I thought it would be soon, her bag was filling nicely. No way will...

Hello All, I think this question was asked a while back, but I can't find it - anyway. . . My foal Lemon Rocks Blackfoot Bandit was born 4/22/06. He has a very heavy foal coat and is rubbing like crazy. He has worn the coat all the way down in a few places. Of course, it is now HOT in...

Ok - first of all I apologize if this question has been asked a dozen times, but . . . We've been given usage of a field for hay that has some red clover in it. At least I think that is what it is - the "flower" is kind of a purple color. Somebody set me straight if that is or isn't red...

OK - For everybody that needed a "Foal Fix" or an "Appy Fix" - Here You Go!! :aktion033: : Here's Lemon Rocks Painted Feather - out of our Sweetwaters Maggie McGee (32") and Almost Heaven's Keep A Copy (28 1/2"). We don't know where she got those legs - but I can't imagine how Maggie...

Yeah! Our little appy stallion K.C. finally gave us a baby with color! We did have a silver dappled out of him last year, but really wanted a blanket!! And, a filly to boot! She's out of Sweetwater's Maggie McGee and really has some legs! Can't get the picture to work this morning, but I'll...

Orion's Little Bear did it again for us! She had a beautiful little colt yesterday afternoon. I had put her out in the round pen for a while and took her for a short walk - put her back in the barn, and about an hour later - Lemon Rock's Blackfoot Bandit was in the building! He's out of our...

We were wondering about feeding wheat seed. Trying to get an idea of what we want to plant this spring, if it every comes here in central IL. Has anybody ever feed wheat seed, and if so, how do the horses like it? I'm wondering about the protein and if it would be better than oats? Thanks...

We've never had this much trouble with birds in our barn, but MAN, this year is an exception. We have lots of birds, and their droppings. Any suggestions on how to keep them out? Thanks and Happy New Year! Cheryl

Hi everybody! Haven't been on in months. Lots of stuff going on here in Illinois. Back many months ago - I know - there were several posts about wash racks and wash rooms in barns. The lousy crew that was putting up our building finally finished. They estimated they would be done by late...

My colleague at work lives in the same county as I do. He has quarter horses and we frequently "horse-talk". We share the same vet and farrier. He came in late today because one of his horses was diagnosed with EPM. The vet said that he has had at least one case a week in our area for a...

I know this is probably a dumb question, but I can't remember seeing this thread on the forum before (doesn't mean it wasn't here, just didn't have a gelding at the time). Can I put my year-old gelding in with a stallion after breeding season? I'm sure I couldn't put him in there during...

Hi, I am trying to find someone to sharpen my blades. I sent an e-mail to someone on the Forum but I got no response. I know there were at least people on the Forum that sharpen, so could somebody please give me both names? That way, I can choose the one that I didn't contact and see if they...

We have finally gotten rain - OK well, a little bit - about 1/10 of an inch so far!! After well over a month without!! It just started sprinkling again, so I'm hopeful! And what is better is that we had JUST finished loading the last of the oat hay into the trailer for the trip home! Had...
