    observations of the horse industry

    It's been a looooong time since I posted here. For those who don't remember/or know me, I had a ranch in Rogue River Oregon raising, breeding, training, showing pinto minis. I had a fair amount of success making many champions and taking my overo stallion Doradas Spiritwalker, to the world...

    Newbies-Dystocia 101

    Did you ever play the kids game where you stick your hand in a box and feel around and try to identify what you are feeling? Sometimes it was hard and sometimes it was kind of squishy? Welcome to dystocia 101. We are hearing on a daily basis "we had a dystocia" and until you have one yourself...

    Check in all you older members who have become lurkers

    From the other thread about the slow down in the forum; I know (and you know who you are) that many older members have become lurkers and don't post very often. Come out of the closet and say hi and what ya up to.

    Show us your Xmas spirit

    I was cruising the back porch and read Chandab taking in a poor cat and MindyLee finding a new home for her dog and probably making a lonely guys Xmas better. It got me thinking that this is the time of year that makes us better people with the spirit of Xmas and doing the little (or big)...

    Tough week

    I thought I would post this as a learning experience for those that haven't gone through this before. Monday I went out to feed and one of my pregnant, food hound mares wouldn't come up to eat. She wasn't due for at least a month, no bag development and my breeding dates said it wasn't time...

    Thinking of full time RVing-looking at options

    I have been lurking on full time RVing sites to get info about the best way to do things. I am dispersing my horses and would like to sell everything and spend the last few years for my nursing career doing travel nursing part time for income and seeing the country the rest of the time. We...

    Marketing horses

    When marketing your horses, where do you get the best results? I know Lil Beginnings and Dreamhorse, but are there other places that you get good response?

    Very sad times

    You know the saying "What else could go wrong?" I stopped saying that a few months ago because just when I thought it couldn't get worse it just kept getting worse. Some of you may remember that back in August I had a heart attack. Since then times have really been tough financially but I...

    Ordering vaccines

    Just got an email yesterday and Jeffers is having 10% off all orders for 4 days so started getting my order ready. The promotion code is "sweet". I cross referenced AgriMed because they were cheaper last year and Holy Moly! they were $30 MORE per 10 dose vial for same thing. Jeffers doesn't...

    Abortion in mares

    We have had a few people recently experience abortions and several who have had this experience and would like to know if they had long twisted cords. Michelle Sharrock(Wesco Farms) and I have had ongoing conversations about many concerns with the minis. She has been a wealth of information...

    Mare aborted yesterday

    I went out to feed yesterday and noticed one of the mare standing with a cocked back leg. Instinct said something isn't right here. She moved forward and didn't limp but as she walked past me there was a bubble hanging out. She is way too early to be foaling so knew she was aborting. Brought...

    What are you thankful for?

    As I was cruising through the forum it struck me how many good and bad things happen in our lives but the one constant is the love and support freely given by the forum members. The economy is bad and people are losing their jobs, homes and selling down their herds to be able to afford them...

    Breeding in a bad economy

    It goes without saying, our economy sucks right now. What are you doing about breeding next year? Are you selling horses and if you are at what reduced amount than normal. Or are you buying to upgrade your herd?

    My heart attack experience.

    Wednesday evening after work Terry and I were putting up a swimming pool and I felt a pain in my chest. It stopped me dead it was so sharp but was quickly gone so I went about my business. We ate dinner late and I was sitting on the couch and said I don't feel so good and am going to bed...

    I have another "Grievance"

    I was reading the post about starting a commitee and had the thought that while we are at it, why doesn't AMHA do something about the disreputable breeders that damage our miniature horse breed? I am sure a few names have already popped into your head. You know, the breeders we hear about and...

    colic info

    I have been going through a colic episode with one of my horses who has been hospitalized since Saturday and finally had surgery last night. The presentation has been different than straight forward colics I have dealt with. I did my treatments here and when it didn't respond took him in. He...

    Snow, snow and more snow

    I got an email from a friend in Idaho with about 3 feet of snow. We have had snow since Sunday but it melts off during the day. Thought it would be fun to see how much everyone got and from where.
