Many of you will remember Connie Lynch She and her husband Gale were Alvadar Miniature Horses, breeders of Alvadars Double Destiny. I'm sad to report that Connie passed away this past Friday. I had the opportunity to know her not just as a horse friend, but also as a personal friend. Rest in...

Thanks for all the replies. I have had many gelded here in the past. Under our vets recommendations, we normally stall them on straw bedding for the first week, and hand walk the first day, then exercise them at a trot every day at least once or twice. We don't keep them out in the dirt lots...

Hi All, I'm not a typical boarding farm, however I am boarding a few horses here for clients who live 45 minutes away. They recently bought a colt from me and plan to have him gelded. However, since they live so far away & they are quite busy with their jobs, they want me to do the aftercare...

My Good News! We hitched up Charger for the first time today, and he did really well. I was so proud of him. He got extra treats when we were done!

I had a foal here several years ago who was born with severe pneumonia. She was treated wtih Naxcel, and was given Lasix IV a couple of times to help dry her lungs out. The Lasix apparently dropped her blood pressure,and she started fainting, sort of like the foals who faint with...

Marty and Family I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine going through the loss of a son or daughter. God be with you. Karen

Dani, He's beautiful, and so is your granddaughter. It looks like she has the love of horses in her blood too. Thank you for giving Abby such a loving home. I don't have to worry about her being taken care of. I will be looking for those action shots of Start Me Up. Get your camera out...

I can't imagine having foals again without my EquiPage system. Ken is extremely helpful when you need help or service. Now, there have been a few nights when that little beeper was going off for the umpteenth time because mommy-to-be was getting her beauty sleep, and I wanted to hurl the...

OHHHHHHHH!!!! My GREAT GRANDSON is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Congratulations on a healthy colt. Jagger and Abby look really good. I'm so excited for you and for Abby. I can't wait to see pictures of him all dy and fluffy. Abby may be having those darned after contractions. I remember personally...

Its going to be soon. YEAH!!! Have you been able to do a milk test? I can't wait to see pictures of this little munchkin. Karen

WoooooHOOO!!! I can't wait to hear you have a bouncing baby! : Sending happy thoughts and best wishes for a speedy and safe delivery, and a beautiful healthy new foal. I hope she has it tonight for you. : :aktion033: :bgrin

Sooooo, are you keeping us in suspense? Think PINK!!!

DANI, I'm behind on reading messages, but I certainly will hope and pray for a textbook delivery for Abby this time. You and she surely deserve that. Don't forget to call me with the happy news! : I'm still on mare stare here too, for a pasture bred mare who might look "due" forever. : : :

First, I am very sorry to hear you lost a foal. It's always heartbreaking. I won't even try to guess what went wrong with your foal. I do know that I had a colt two years ago who was thought to be NI. He was born healthy and strong. His NI symptoms were late onset. He was the third foal...

A friend of mine just bought a Martins Leo son, but I would guess he is your boys brother, not son. Her Leo son is a big mover. How about yours? He is certainly a beautiful gelding.

Please take Liz's advice and go to the web sites she has suggested. You will find excellent advice on these sites regarding foundered horses and how to help them out. I would also call the vet out as soon as possible. Best wishes!

Boooohooooo. I hate going back to regular time. I wish we could stay on daylights savings all year long. I did hear that daylight savings time will be extended in future years.

Stephanie, If you do nothing else, take the time to read the information from the Yahoo Cushings site. I lost my riding mare two years ago to Cushings induced founder. Even with my vets assistance, I could not bring her out of the founder, and sadly she got worse and worse until I had no...

I hope your boy is doing better this morning. I have had several hospitalized with enteritis over the years. It takes a while to get them recovered, but they all have. I did have one young colt who was under stress and had an irregular heart beat. It was only detected one time. After he...

I would be calling my vet to let them know she isn't doing well. She could be relapsing with whatever was wrong with her in the first place, she could have a secondary infection, or likely she could have ulcers. Was she not eating for any length of time during her illness? It sounds like she...
