He started out with just his legs irritating him..he'll kick at himself and rub his legs together (to the point he's knocking off hair on the inside of his legs), but now he's itchy all over. He doesn't have any visible bugs on him (such as lice). My husband has chiggers really bad, too...so...

I got this in an e-mail today, and it really touched me. I just wanted to share! A little something to put things in perspective... An article in National Geographic several years ago provided an interesting picture of God's wings. After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest...

Should I be concerned that my puppy was eating grass? He was grazing alongside my gelding this evening, and spent quite some time chowing down on grass. I don't know if he was just mimicking the horse or what.... I noticed he was throwing himself around on the ground while we were out on our...

We recently acquired a 15 week old male puppy (we're pretty sure he's got black lab in him, but we really have no idea what he is. He's solid black with the thick lab coat, but he's got a blue chest & blue feet. He's already about 25-30 lbs and nearly two feet tall at the "withers"). I didn't...

My FIL has a QH stud, he's a 16 year old grey horse. He a proven 100% color producer. He's sired dozens & dozens of babies, and every baby by him is a colored baby. No sorrels, chestnuts, or bays whatsoever. This horse has been breeding mares since he was 4 years old. Kind of dumb question, but...

Am I just completley awful for wanting my husband to stay out of my OB doctor's visits?? He's nearly 30 years old, and when we get into the doc's office, he turns into a 5 year old. This is our first child, and I want him to be a part of this, but I'm DONE. Last visit (well, every visit)...he...

I have two really neat candle votives (sp?). I have completley burned down 2 red candles in these glass votives, and now I'm left with the uglies/burned stuff at the bottom. How do I get rid of the red uglies so I can put a new candle in the holder. Can I boil the glass votive? I've scraped and...

Two days before Thanksgiving, everyone was gone, and I woke up to horns honking outside. I jumped up to find Tuff and Big Man trotting down the road....and the gate to their pen hanging wide open. After I made a fool of myself getting them back to the house (WITHOUT halters), I've been stressing...

Well, the last few days, I've felt like I got ran over by a truck....just absolutley awful, flu-like almost. Puking, hurting all over, dizzy, just general crappiness. So, I went down to the clinic yesterday. I sat in the room for over an hour, they take blood, & do their thing. And the doctor...

I've started (trying!) to put Big Man in the barn at night with our big horses, so he won't be by himself in his pen. WELL... The stall is an 8x12 stall, he can easily see two horses on either side of him (both horses that he likes & gets along well with through the fence in his pen). But he...

Do people go to mini shows just to watch? In the Bandera paper, there is an ad for a "Christmas Special, Registered Miniature Horse Show". I want to go so bad!! Not to win anything, just because I think it would be so fun. I have never been to a horse show of any kind. Big Man was gelded a few...

Can someone direct me to a link where I can find a (good!) picture of Rowdy? Big Man is by a grandson, out of a granddaughter of him, and I'm trying to make him a little scrapbook. I've been looking for an hour now, and all I come up with on my Yahoo searches is sons & daughters. I'd certainly...

Tuff went from physically 100% fine around 5:30 feeding time, to dead before 10:00...... My husband went outside to go check on everyone before the finals come on. On his way out to the barn, he literally stumbled over my little Tuff. He said at first, he thought something attacked him from all...

Okay, we're in a HUGE debate at this house. My mother lost her 11 year old tiny teacup poodle, Muffin, about 9 months ago. She bought him when he was born, and picked him up at 6 weeks of age. That dog went everywhere with us, she had an awful time when he had to be put down. My dad now says...

Can someone *PRETTY PLEASE* post a picture for me of a PROPERLY harnessed (properly being the keyword here!!) mini horse???......before it causes a train wreck at our home! Can I see one harnessed & hooked to the cart, and one harnessed for ground driving? Or can someone direct me to a...

We recently acquired a new mini, and he is AMHA registered, and the people we received him from said he could be easily hardshipped into the AMHR. We did not have to pay for him, he was given to us on the condition that he would never be sold, which is fine with me! One day (okay...in several...

I need some information. We're looking for a harness to fit a (true) 34", stocky, QH built mini. We've found a new one that we really like, but we have NOT A CLUE about the measurements. Can anyone offer any advice if you think these measurements would fit him? (These are the maximum...

I was using the thinkin' side of my brain today....and I had a pretty good question for myself. How come we worm our: horses, cattle, goats, dogs, cats, llamas...basically any animal that we can get our hands on.....and we don't worm ourselves?????? Or am I just totally out of the loop? Do...

Tuffy is finally growing!!!! I was terrified that he'd always be a stumpy short little guy. 2 Months ago, I measured him at 22"....I just measured him today at 24 1/4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am very excited for him. I had chalked it up to the fact he had bad nutrition as a baby, and he would...

Hey, does anyone think that deer could hurt a mini? I just walked out into Tuff's pen with a flashlight, and I swear there were at least 15 sets of deer eyes staring at me, with one teeny set of red ones right in the middle of them (The red eyes were Tuff). They all seemed to be grazing together...
