I ordered a bottle of Seramune after reading about it here, and was worried when the post office left it unrefrigerated and I received it on the 4th day after shipping. The folks at Valleyvet returned my email to say that it should be okay...so, I have to hope that it will be. Does anyone have...

We had a terrible complicated birth today and lost our foal. Thanks to our wonderful friends at Devon's Dixie, we were able to save our little mare. Was wondering if by chance anyone in the area had an orphaned or rejected foal that would possibly be needing a surrogate mother. I've never...

We had our first foal of the season on Sunday late afternoon. Easy uncomplicated birth and all seemed textbook perfect. Finally we had a FILLY!!! I put betadine on her umbilical stump several times during that evening and the next day. She got up within just a few minutes and was nursing...

Help needed QUICK please!! AMHR has my perm registration on their desk but confusion over color delaying the process. I'll have them back on the phone in a few minutes. I don't know how to post pics on forum, so if anyone would like to help me, please email me at [email protected] and...

Okay, I know that technically it's black roan!!....anyway, what combinations of color will in theory produce a blue roan ? I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'm fairly confused about roan horses. Thanks!

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong? I see all of these beautiful ads on the saleboard, and I've tried to post 4 times now and the only thing that shows up is the first two lines of my ad! I can see all of what I've typed (although its bunched up into one paragraph) up through the last...

I've been feeling so guilty all week. Last Saturday was the first day in a month that I didn't get up at least three times in the night to check my mare, which was due May 23rd. She had bagged up, but being new to foaling, and this was a new mare to me, I just thought it might be a while yet...

I bought "Pops" in November from a nearby farm here in SC, and my sister, who lives in Tennessee bought his 19 month old son in March. Prior to me bringing Pops here, they lived in peaceful harmony in an "all boys" pen. Since Pops has been in with my ladies, I had Jr. in a pen that was...

I am admittedly new at figuring out this color thing, but I have a stallion that is silver white (snowy white all over with black skin) He's not a gray, as he's always been this color. He has beautiful conformation and a personality that can't be beat. Anyway, when I mention to breeders that I...

The crest on my daughter's 3 year old mare is rolling over a bit . She has a VERY thick mane, so I trimmed about half of it on the underside, but she has a very thin, loose neck with not much muscle. She's never been underweight and is wormed regularly. Are there any specific exercises that I...

Today I was outside and noticed that our 18 month old colt has his eyes swollen shut . His muzzle is also swollen, and has big hives on his abdomen. His breathing is faster than usual. I called the vet, but can't get an answer at any of her numbers. Maybe caused by an allergic reaction...

I'm a little confused about AMHR rule when a stallion is old enough to begin breeding. I'm sure the forum has covered this before, but please humor me. Does he have to be 3 years old before beginning to breed or does he have to be 3 when the foal is born to register it? Thanks so much!

I 've looked on Cornell and Purdue sites for poisonous plants, but am still a little confused as to whether dead oak leaves and acorns are poisonous to horses. It says that they usually won't eat them but I don't want to take any chances. The best place on our land is under a big oak tree for...

I'm really new with pregnant mares. I brought one home last week that was reportedly due any day now. She is quite a porker as well (I've been reading posts about the risks of overweight mares.) Anyway, she'd been standing outside my stallion pen and today, she stood for him to try to breed...
