I get to go out to Nationals --- Hubby is letting me go by myself I would like to know if everyone stays at the host hotel or if there are good places other than that one. Any suggestions?

Do donkeys have the same issue with fescue as horses? Being as they are equine I would imagine so, but I am new to donkeys. I got 2 girls and the guy said he had a jack last summer and that the Mini mare he had was probably bred, so I am going to assume these 2 were in with him. 1 of my girls...

Shasta is a tall mini at 37.5 by mini measures, I got her off Craigslist last August. We love her. Wish they hadn't lost her papers but oh well. She's a great girl and we love her. We do not have a due date, as of August 3rd we were told the foal there was 4 months old and was being weaned. So...

Had Hay tested for Nitrates as suggested by a lab since we have had some issues. The results give me the levels in the hay but it doesn't give me the normal levels so I don't know how far off if at all these are. We had 2 batches of hay tested, one from one supplier, and one from a completely...

So how do you ask your horse to back? I ask for a slight forward motion but not letting them take a step with my hands then ask them to back I usually get a nice relaxed back. Watching the Nationals classes I felt bad for a couple of kids that their horse didn't back but I also thought ya know...

I am showing a mare, that has wide striped feet, with high white leg markings on all 4 feet. Do I stripe them, use clear or use all black? One hoof is half white half black. She's AMHR only if that makes a difference. I always debate this, in the past I have done all the above. I think my...

I was in Burlington Coat Factory store today and they had Hats galore most expensive one was $40 with most under that. Pink ones, red ones, some with feathers some pretty blue ones, lime green ones. Thought I'd pass it on to those looking for hats. Karen

In the big horse world they have to remove paprika, and the black as night products etc a week or so before the show, what about the minis. I've never been to a show where they drug tested the minis, is it an issue? Is there shows where they do drug test them? I was thinking of using it...

I have a sr stallion approx 29" tall, nice long mane, but thick and I'm working on pulling it etc to get it a bit thinner/shorter. I think he might look better with a shorter mane, its past his shoulder, was almost to his knees, and I know thats too long. I have about a month before our...

When you give a vaccine and your horse gets a giant lump on its neck that goes into their shoulder to the point of making them lame, horse has never been lame before and nothing is wrong with her feet. Would you give the vaccine again the next year? Vet was out this past Wednesday and I like...

I posted her on the Foals thread but I thought I'd post her here too. Cute Red Dun Pinto born at 11:40 PM ET 4-18-2007 Karen

first off, I have a call into the vet, waiting for a call back, yesterday I could do anything with her tail that I wanted to, today she can hardly lift it to poo. I have inspected her tail and it seems to be really painful for her to lift it. She's a driving horse and this is her 3 foal...

Having a hard time finding good hay around here, and I have been using Alfalfa cubes, but this seems easier and a little better for them. Anyone have experience with this product? Karen

My feed store doesn't have wheat straw, they said they usually only carry Rye Straw, can Rye Straw be used for foaling, I can go to another store thats farther away and see if they have it but if I can't find wheat, is Rye straw OK? Karen

I feel like a bad horse mommy right now. I have a 7yr old this year mare, I had her bred last May then we moved 700 miles and after she got here she was acting like a normal mare, squirting and backing up to my gelding, acting like she was in season well apparently she was lying to me as last...
