Hi everyone I have had Fibromyalgia and CFS for 18yrs now (diagnosed by a rhumatologist from symptoms and pain points) which has got progressively worse especially in the past 5yrs. I find it very difficult some days to see to the horses but feel it is good for me to have to look after them as...

After reading the thread about those of you who have met famous people I thought this would be an interesting thread.......ok, I`ll start. I would love to meet Noah to see if he enjoyed looking after all those animals on the ark as I think I would or if he found it "stressful". And also PRINCE...

what do you do when THE nicest new home wants one of your babies and is perfect in every way......BUT.............they dont have any other horses so your baby would be an only mini child??? Do you consider it if the baby is particulary independent or is it just a no-no right from the start?? If...

I have read that if in doubt,you can tell if a foal is a silver because it will have white eyelashes and black eye rims even if that changes later. Is this true? Anyone got a lot of experience with silver foals???

my maiden mare is due April 19th but yesterday she lost her mucous plug as I could see the blood traces around her vulva, and today she had a bit more. How long before mares foal have you noticed this? The last time I actually saw this was 2 yrs ago and the mare went 10days.
