Just ran across this in "The Horse" magazine in an ad and thought I'd share, it's a "buy two, get one free" coupon for Nutrena Triumph feed. I've never tried it before but they have different versions of it and I'm going to try the senior feed for my big horses. Go to www.triumphtrial.com...

I ran across a picture online of a six year old male collie who is at our local animal shelter, and felt I had to go see him. He had recently been to an adoption fair and had several families who were interested in him so I had to wait to see if any would take him, but the shelter just called...

I came across this "Comparison of Responsible Breeders and "Backyard" Breeders (which I prefer to call "Irresponsible Breeders") It is directed at dog breeders, but many of the points I believe are very valid, just exchange the words "dogs" and "pups" with "horses" and "foals". Some I don't...

Do you consider yourself a "big dog person" or a "little dog person"? I've always considered myself a big dog person; I have a Great Dane female (house dog) who is 153 pounds and 34" tall, and two Livestock Guardian Dogs, one at approximately 100 pounds and the other about 150 pounds. Our...

I got an email from a friend today, and when I asked if I could forward it she said to please spread it far and wide, in the hope that it could help prevent a similar tragedy. Here it is: Dear friends and relatives, this will be short..... Zeke's little boy Trevyn (not the baby, he is...

Happy Birthday Robin! Hope you have a great one! And remember, the numbers don't matter, only the fact that we make it another year matters (but you're a young chick still!)

I have a question about the Equipage beeper and transmitters (is that what they are called, they go in the pouches that go on the mares). I have an older Equipage system and borrowed a beeper and transmitters (same age as my system) from a friend and though I've put new batteries in and the...

REO has been without internet service since Easter. She's trying to get a new company to install internet for her since the old one failed and she isn't having much luck (sounds like "customer service" is a foreign concept to them or something, they are waiting for receivers to arrive...

The evolving debate on the "Newbies Wake Up" thread inspired me to start a new thread about preferences for Geldings versus Mares, and include Stallions as well if they are the preferred sex of mini. We've done this before, of course, but it's been a while I think. I realize that the...

Took me a while to download photos, so I'm late in announcing our first foal of the year, a buckskin (with appy characteristics) filly, out of Mountain Highs AMayZing and by "Cowboy", our buckskin leopard appy stallion. Announcing Magic Mist Uniquely AMayZing, pics at just a few days old...

Ok, I may be an "appy person" but I also have a lot of solid horses and several pintos, because a good horse is never a bad color (or pattern). I've loved "REO's" Lotto from the first time I ever laid eyes on him, and, well..... I am now the proud owner of one of his fillies. Big thank...

I have a friend in another state who has a young mare not doing well at all. Two different vets have been out and haven't been terribly helpful, though the second one did take blood tests and said that everything looks normal. Let me give you a little bit of backstory, and then the current...

You all may know me as an "appy person", but my full-size horses are pintos, and quite a few of my miniatures are either solids, or pintos, along with my appaloosas. I have a palomino pinto mare that is a maternal half sister to my AMayZing, and by "Ice", the stallion that I leased last year...

I've always bought the premade mixes for hummingbird nectar before, but I'm out right now and can't go shopping til these last two mares foal (IF they ever foal-- at 352 and 353 days now, I'm beginning to doubt!). But I want to have nectar ready for the hummingbirds for when they start showing...

sometime between her last feeding at 10:30 pm and midnight when I went out all bundled up to spend the night with her in the stall, sweet little baby Noodle died. I'm shocked and can't stop crying. Thank you, all of you. Your prayers and good thoughts mean so much to me. I've never...

First pic, she is newborn and still wet. Here she is today, about 15 hours old This shows her darling tippy ears And when the vet was done with her, you can't see the feeding tube; she's on the heating pad and Treasure is making sure her baby is ok. Such a GOOD mama, and this is...

I've got a challenge here, and though I've dealt with early babies before, it's been quite a while and I don't know if I can pull this baby through. My maiden mare, Treasure (5 year old palomino) had a filly last night at 7 pm. She had a tough time, and this is the first time I've ever seen...

I was just wondering, since the economy in such a slump, are any of you changing what you do this year with your horses? I've been reading auction reports and though I have never sent a horse to auction and never plan to, it does give an idea of the state of the horse world, and it's not...

Haven't seen you on the forum lately, and I'm wondering how you are recovering from your surgery, and when your next one will be? I know that it can be very tough dealing with surgeries and the resulting healing time, when you feel like you can't do anything. Hoping that you are feeling ok...

Whew! Wildfire was acting like she was experiencing first-stage labor and I had to cancel a doctor's appointment for a physical that I made back in September :DOH! and can't get in until September now, but I was here for the birth, which is the important thing! This colt is by our leopard...
