We bought a driving mare that drives single and clear up to 8-horse hitch and tandem. She comes to you, nickers and stalls well. But she is horrible when in heat. Squats, squirts, messy down the back legs and kicks- horses and people. She is not trustworthy when out of heat either. Still might...

Just wondered if any of you out there are using Reclast to treat Osteoporosis and what you think of it? Did you have trouble with the 'flu like' symptons and how and how long? Anything else? Is it horribly expensive? I'm not a good candidate for the orals because I have IBS and a 'nervous'...

Who out there has Miniature Australian Shepards or Miniature American Shepards? I'm not totally unfamilar with them; but wanted to hear about some of yours. Different energy levels, temperments, drawbacks and positives. I am just obsessed to own one, but my husband is not sure yet. He has only...

I am going to call the vet bright and early in the morning...but...thought I'd check to see what some of you think too. Our 10 year old gelding has a large swelling on his belly. Runs from girth to near his sheath (sheath and area are fine/normal). It covers the whole area. It's hard. It...

Anyone want to share your costume ideas in photos? With so many from all over the country (countries? world?) it would be fun to see how creative or funny we all are! ('course, if you have a few you want to keep 'close to your heart', that's ok too). I will share a couple of mine and my...

What do you want to brag about on your kids or grandkids, etc. from this summer? My grandniece, who has been enjoying our minis since she was 18 months (she's 9 now) had a great time at the county fair-1st in Jr. Showmanship (her first time with only 6 times of practice) and 1st in "Pet Pony"...

Our one ten year old gelding has started giving us troubles off and on in the past year. We had his teeth thoroughly done by an equine Dentist (that helped a couple things). But he is erratic in his performance in harness. One time he goes fine, the next he fusses or totally refuses to do...

It looks like I am going to have a permanent disability making it hard to negotiate uneven surfaces (grass, arena compositions, etc.). Walking on hard surfaces is not bad, but my ankle is somewhat stiff and it and my toe area sometimes hurt or ache; making me somewhat unstable. I cannot jog or...

We have just found a new hay supplier. They are a private yet commercial supplier. Their hay is forage analysis tested. We have seen samples (from 2013 anyway) of some of their bales. I just wondered how many of you felt about the different grasses. We generally don't feed straight alfalfa...

Do you have a standard Easter meal or dish you serve? Do you have family over or just yourself? My sister had Easter breakfast once with family and one extra couple who's grown kids couldn't make it home that year. She had eggs (however you wanted them), bacon, sausage links, toast and muffins.
