    Show off your Duns!

    Hi all, I don't know how to add my picture, but the avatar is Vegas--he is out of Buck On Bad Girl----and has great dun factor-shoulder barrs, neck barring, leg barrs-etc. Plus so far, all foals up to date have been dun factors! I love grullos/grullas.

    Color Question -- Have You Had Foals Born This Color

    Hey thanks. You are all a wealth of information. Colors are very fasinating aren't they!lol No gray parents here, I always thought gray couldn't hide so thanks again. Oh, just so no hard feelings, not trying to say DunIt wasn't a True grulla/o. Just trying to get this color scheme in my head!

    Color Question -- Have You Had Foals Born This Color

    I haven't really heard of a true grulla "going gray". I wonder if that is the true color of the stallion. Has anyone else heard of that? I love grullas and have a grulla stallion so I just want to make sure I'm on the right track.

    Sales gone bad...

    I agree with all the above. Fortunately, I think most people are trying to be honest sellers and buyers so horse business can still be fun. But there are always a few that have to ruin it for all. I have had a recent personal experience with one of the "other kind" that will result in a law...

    BUYER BEWARE!

    All really great thoughts..It may seem like a no brainer but if you've been on the "wrong side" of one of the deals gone bad, there is really not much recourse. Believe me, you'll only do this once! My issues were not with what I bought, but what I sold on payments and the issues that occurred...

    BUYER BEWARE!

    Just a word of advice or reminder to all potential horse buyers out there. Make sure when you are buying that registration paperwork is complete and in the seller's name. I have heard of issues with people selling horses with "pending registration" or paperwork that will come from another...

    Animal Genetics Test Results are back. Photos included.

    I have a black pinto stallion that would frequently produced the high white stockings and bald or apron faced white. Tested heterozygous for tobiano and negative for LWO and negative for sabino.. talking to the boys at UC Davis they felt he probably would test positive for the spashed white...

    Lost our foal yesterday

    So, So sorry for your loss. Of course just what you wanted, they always are when they don't make it right? Just lost one myself. Glad your mare is okay, and don't decide on the breeding again this week, or maybe this month. There are the ones that sale through with an easy delivery and...

    IGG testing

    well I'll weigh in here having just lost a filly I had such high hopes for with this same subject: Filly born 1 month early, mare without a bag the night before--seemed to be doing fine the first night, but around 18 hours, more weak, not drinking well, etc. Loaded mare and foal up, off to...

    We Never Know It All

    so sorry to hear about your loss Tiffany. It sounds like it isn't the sellers fault and certainly not yours. Glad the mare is okay, and having just lost one myself and trying to make sense of the "what ifs" it amazes me that the mares seem to accept and move forward. Better than us humans that...

    Prayers Needed

    Thank you all for your kind words-unfortunately my little girl was put down last night. She fought a hard battle, but ultimately they could not get the seizures to stop and felt her quality of life would have been too poor. Chandi is doing fine. She seemed to know things were not right and...

    Prayers Needed

    They don't really know exactly. They assume it is an infection or from birth. I don't think they really know. I don't either. Of course a beautiful buckskin filly that I've been excited about and waiting for. Not that any foal deserves this-colt or filly. But it just makes it a bit harder...

    Prayers Needed

    I've seen it work before--would appreciate some extra help with prayers for our first of the year buckskin filly who is currently fighting for her life at the UW Vet School. She is having seizures and they said if they can't get them under control soon her prognosis is very poor. Currently...

    Just got home from Little King Farms Breeding Seminar

    Well, WONDERFUL weekend. The company, the expertise, the mare foaling on cue. Thank you Little King. First class seminar, I can't even list the many things learned, but actually feel almost ready for the foaling season-thanks to Marianne and Robin (and Ed of course). Looking forward to...

    Equine Fresh-caused colic

    I honestly don't know if she wet this down or not. I have never used this type of product for bedding but appreciate all the advice and kind words. We all know how hard it is to lose a little one, and then the guilt of thinking it was preventable is even harder to swallow. It may be a really...

    Equine Fresh-caused colic

    I'm not sure how it was used but I know it was supposed to be safe for foals. Let's hope they do something for Jan and then let people out there know the dangers. It is always heartbreaking to lose a horse but worse when you feel it was because of something you did-- the guilt is there I'm...
