    FIRE

    Some of you may already know, on Tuesday, March 6, our house and all its contents burned to the ground. I say house because HOME is more than a building. God has blessed me and he doesn't owe me anything. I owe him everything! My family is all safe. All animals are safe with the exception...

    SPLASHED WHITE TEST

    The results are in! I would like to say first of all that I am very pleased with the service from VGL. They were very prompt. I would have loved to test them all, but starting with half the herd. First, is McSperitts Rowdy Night Image, who is my main herd stallion. He is lab tested LWO...

    Praise the Lord for RAIN!

    As most of you know, most of Texas and Oklahoma (and other areas as well, I'm sure) have been experiencing one of the worst droughts many people can remember. I have lost track of how many days we have had here in southeast Oklahoma that have been over 100 degrees, and our temps have regularly...

    Relieved!

    We have had one of the driest summers already here in southeast Oklahoma that I can remember, and we have a long way to go until fall. My pasture is burnt up. The only thing that is green is where I have been running a sprinkler, and that is not nearly enough to keep the horses going. I have...

    My new website is up in just the nick of time

    As many of you know, I have been working on a new website that I can update myself. I appreciate everyone's suggestions and compliments on it. Today, as I was finishing up some photo albums on it, I went back to my other site to check on something, and got a message, "Internet Explorer cannot...

    I have taken a huge major step and would like feedback

    I have been thinking about this for some time, but I am so technologically illiterate that I thought I could never do it. Since it is summer (and I am a school teacher so I'm out for the summer) , and it is over 100 degrees outside , I have played with this computer and built my own...

    Website updated

    I have recently had my website updated. I was way behind on getting my information to Robin, then she had troubles with her computer, had to get a new one, then lost her service provider and had to get a new one. (hope I got all those terms right). Anyway, with the new program she used...

    My Elusive Dreams

    We all know that color is not the most important factor, but it is important. My color of choice is Black and White. Since I started breeding Miniatures in 2003, even using Black and White stallions, I have only produced one B/W filly from my own breeding, and that was my first or second year...

    In accordance with the "Law"

    In accordance with the unwritten "Law" of Lilbeginnings, I have waited until I had pictures to announce the birth of our first foal for 2011. Born Wednesday, 3/23/2011. Dam, Gem Dandys TJ. Sire, McSperitts Rowdy Night Image (Rowdy grandson). TJ always has lovely foals and this filly is no...

    Question on weaning in winter

    Here is my situation. I have a foal born July 21, who is now near 5 months old. This was not the time I had planned this foal for, but things didn't go according to my plans. She is eating well, separately from her mother (creep feed situation where she and another filly can eat separately...

    The importance of genetic testing

    Just thought I would post this information for educational purposes. Of course, many of you already know this, but it doesn't hurt to have a reminder once in a while. My favorite foal of the year, Songcatchers Can You Imagine (Candy). Sire: McSperitts Rowdy Night Image (29 inches, LWO...

    New filly

    I thought I would share a few photos of our new filly. I bred a couple of mares late last year for fall babies. After the deed was done, I thought, "oops, that one is going to be a little early for fall." Well, it came even earlier than expected. She could not possibly have carried it more...

    Anyone want to play a color genetics guessing game?

    I have a little filly that I have just recently sent hair samples in to have tested and I thought it might be interesting if some of you wanted to make some guesses on her genetics. I wish I had pictures of her parents to share, but I don't, although I have personally seen both parents. Her...

    A BIG Thank-you to ROKO

    I have been needing to update my website since last fall, and just trying to wait until I got everything together to do it all at once. Well, you know how that goes. Horses are getting shaggy winter coats and not a good time to take pictures. A horse or two gets sold and needs to be deleted...

    Three is a charm

    We have been very blessed this year. Three foals so far, and all three fillies! I have always had more boys than girls. I have one more due this Spring, and possibly two in the fall, but even if all the rest are boys, I've already got 50% girls. Here is our newest, Songcatchers Scarlet...

    Second filly for Songcatcher

    We had our second foal of the year, and second filly, born on April 10. I had wondered if this mare might be homozygous for Black or Tobiano (even though her dam is registered as solid Chestnut, I suspect she is actually a Silver Bay like her dam, and I have seen many minimally marked Tobianos...

    New filly at Songcatcher Ranch

    I wanted to introduce my first foal of the season. Songcatchers Nightingale. Sired by 29 inch McSperitts Rowdy Night Image and out of 33 inch Bear Farms Deva Of The Isles. This little girl was 18.5 inches tall on day one. Born 3/24/10. Not a white hair on her that I can find.

    Gotta love Oklahoma weather

    We had a beautiful Spring Break. Sunny and warm most of the week with temperatures in the mid 70s on Friday. Saturday it turned cold and started raining. This is what we woke up to Sunday morning, and it is STILL snowing! By the way, all horses have the opportunity to get in the barn and...

    VERY belated introduction

    Early last summer I bought a mare at an auction. This mare has very good bloodlines and was listed as pasture bred to a stallion with very good bloodlines. I didn't really give her a lot of consideration before the sale because I didn't figure she would be within my budget. Well, when she...

    Texas Hold 'em ????

    One of the rotating banners above advertises the Texas Hold'em Classic Sale to be held on Nov. 7, but when I click on the link, it doesn't say where it will be held. Anyone know?
