We had our first OPtHA 6 judge Pinto show last weekend. It was so much fun! I love the diversity of horses you get to see. Pinto added Utility horses such as Gypsy Vanners to their registry and we had our first ones at this show. Had to get a picture with the big boy! It was my first show...

After many sleepless nights DeeDee delivered a healthy, leggy colt for us!! He arrived 4/16 at 11:20pm and was up and nursing by 12:30 am!! He wasn't quite sure what to do with those long legs of his! Had many giggles watching him try to unfold the legs to get up! Dam is Stout Wild Daring...

Hi all!! Friend of a friend type thing looking to place a mini donkey "family" jack, jenny and son who is gelded. What I'm wondering is do mini-donkeys have the same problems with laminitis and the mini horses do?? I have several pastures with shelters that I can't use most of the year because...

Filly!!! After much nailbiting and sleep deprivation my maiden mare Lily gave us a pretty little filly at 1:30 this am. I was so worried about her as she is one of my special ones. Lily was one of my first foals born here and I showed her on the PtHA circuit and took her back to the World show...

The National Pinto of the year results are now posted on their website as well as the top ten results. I already saw that Diane posted her horse Max winning Mini A gelding halter(and big congrats to her on that!!! :yeah) but I wanted to share my results and also see how everyone else that shows...

The past couple of weeks have been tough for use. Lost our old golden Duke(previous post), a family friend, and now my last "big" horse Joe. Joe was 37+ years old and was such a great horse! He was a true Heinz 57 and definately had some draft mixed in. He had a big old jug head, big bones, and...

Our wonderful Golden Retriever Duke died this morning. He was 12 1/2 and was just the kindest dog you've ever met. I bought him for my husband as his wedding gift. My husband had had a golden retriever as a child but they had to give him away and he always wanted another one. Duke was...

Well, my husband Doug is the hero of this story!! Of course Dream bypasses the 4 days I have off and was totally sleep deprived watching her. She waits till I have to go to work Wed to deliver! When the storm rolled in I called Doug and told him to watch her close! I got the frantic call when I...

Colt!! Born 3/5 at 5am....of course I had to be at work at 8am for a 12-hr shift! Had to scramble but I made it! Thankfully Sassy popped him out without any complications and he was a quick learner in the nursing department. I wasn't sure of his color until he dried. Dam is a silver bay...

I don't know if it's just my computer but I haven't been able to get past the Gateway page to the Lil Beginnings Topsites for a few weeks now. It doesn't matter if I click on enter with voting or enter without voting it just doesn't go any further.

At my last horse show one of my friends was using Busy Snacker hay bags for her minis. They absolutely intrigued me so I had to order some. Most of my mini's get to be in a herd environment and are out on pasture(though my "pastures" are mostly big dry lots.....they still have some stuff they...

I just got the color DNA results back on my filly from this year. Nikki tested Tobiano TT(homozygous), Red Factor EE(homozygous black) and Aouti Aa(heterozygous bay factor). Color genetics are soooo not my thing! I know she'll always throw tobiano but does this mean she'll most likely throw...

I just got my Pinto magazine with all the Pinto of the Year results. This was my filly Lily's last year showing and she sure did good for me! She ended up Pinto of the Year in Jumping and so close in several others! I love the Nationwide points and being able to "compare" my horses to others...

Just wondered how many Idol fans watched American Idol tonight and say the vitadrink commercial with Carrie Underwood. She drinks the vitadrink and becomes a horse whisperer for this vicious......mini!! It was actually pretty cute. Then a small herd of minis were running after her bus. Of...

I'm so heavy hearted right now that I don't know where to start. My maiden mare Dream was at 338 days today and everything was progressing normally. She had waxed this afternoon so I figured she would foal tonight. My hubby and I were watching Desperate Housewives and the moniter. As usual he...

Filly!!![/ After 2 years of all colts, finally a filly! She is out of my mare LM Cheyenne Dancer(a Little Wardance daughter) and by my stallion Aloha Acres Heir to Magic(full brother to Aloha Henry). I haven't named her yet so any help would be appreciated! I was looking at other ways...

Hey Mary Lou!! I noticed we've already had a few foals this year. Can we put a pinned thread again so we don't miss them!It's always my favorite thread.

My friend sent me an email with a link to abcnews matchomatic....you choose(without knowing who said it) responses you agree with more regarding various issues. Then they tally your vote and tell you who you would be voting for. Mine did come out McCain but there were several areas where I...

I just got my pics from the Pinto World show so I thought I'd share. These are the 3 mini's I took to Pinto World and my wonderful friends and helpers! People from left to right are me, Kathi(wcr on the forum) and Carrie. Horses are Total Eclipse Starlight Dancer(Lily), Alohas Heir to...

I've never done a poll before and I'm not sure if I did it right or not. :DOH! What I'm interested in is how many have had yearlings that are "over" by AMHA standards for showing but remained under 34" as an adult? I show Pinto and I have had 4 yearlings now that I wouldn't have been able to...
