    Need Ideas (Very Long and sad)

    Jax, I am just like you in that I feel like I have to analyze everything to "know" what happened and not be guessing. That is a good thing really...but harder on us as people. My filly with choke was on a dry lot. Her bowels moved, but again not much because she couldn't eat or drink. Her...

    Need Ideas (Very Long and sad)

    I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I lost one of my best fillies last year with symptoms "exactly" as you describe...walking backwards, hanging her head, circles, no drinking water...nibbling at hay...chewing a little, but no swallowing...foaming at the mouth...diagnosis was "choke"....I...

    Our fellow mini people in CO

    Earlier in the year I sold a mare to Autumn Olford of High Meadow Miniatures. She is a great lady. We have kept in touch fairly regularly. I e-mailed her about a week ago to check in and see how she was doing. I have not heard from her. She has always answered my e-mails right away. I...

    New Filly Dwarf????

    I really have to give the OP credit for being new to minis and recognizing right away that this foal is a dwarf. I know personally of some people that have been in the business for 11-12 years and have no idea that some of their foals are dwarfs. They show photos of them and say how beautiful...

    Fallabella and Arenosa

    I see this all of the time, but really have no idea about either. Can anyone please explain them to me? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    Letter to the editor

    This is a little off topic, but not really. It justifies registration to me in any case, with the exception of dwarfs, of course. I purchased a bred mare in 2000 and in 2001 she foaled a pet quality stud colt. I sold that colt to a good home on application, they gelded him and he is their...

    LilHoofbeats....I perhaps would understand it more if it used to cost $2000 to hardship a mare and now it is $100, that is a significant difference. But honestly, if I have a horse that I think needs the AMHR registration papers, the current "full price" would NOT stop me. I think Renee is...

    I meant every word of it Renee. You have contributed so much to the breed. Don't throw in the towel now, over a registry or any other matter. Also take a deep breath and a walk through the pasture and look at all of those beautiful horses, don't let them or yourself down...now or ever...

    Renee, you have always been a highly respected breeder in this industry and I am sure you will continue to be. I wish this didn't bother you so bad, but obviously it does. It is a wonderful opportunity and savings for several people who take their breeding programs just as serious as you do...

    Deafness in Overo Paints

    I confess that I have not read this entire thread, only the first page, so if what I am stating sounds like I have missed something, perhaps I did, LOL But I have several splash overo minis and a few frames and none of them are deaf. So I do think the internet article that said 90% of them are...

    Letter to the editor

    I also am very sorry that you feel this way. My entire herd is AMHA and most are also AMHR registered. I do have a handful of mares that only have AMHA papers. I have never had any trouble selling their foals as AMHA registered only, but I have intended on hardshipping them into the AMHR...

    Advice on how to handle a situation

    I once inquired on breeding to an outside stallion. This horse is a World Champion Stallion. I was told by the owner and breeder of the stallion that this horse is a little long in the back and their only request was that I send a short backed mare to be bred to him. I totally understand...

    Advice on how to handle a situation

    I find it very difficult to believe that overseas buyers have purchased this stallion and are going to pay quarentine to get him there if he is a dwarf. I am sure we will never really know....but does this make sense to any of you? I mean really....last I heard the overseas buyers had really...

    Do some people just "not" know

    Well, I am glad to see that others have at least noticed it. It is just so unreal to me that some of these mares are in the condition that they are in. Tremor, great turnaround on your mare and kudos to you for that. She looks great. Supaspot, your mares look great to me. Yes, winter hair...

    Do some people just "not" know

    I love looking at all of the new foals each year, but recently have seen some announcements of new foals with their dams in the background and the mares are extremely "poor"....backbone sticking up...hip bones sticking out....and these mares just had a foal....now they have to nurse those foals...

    Lost our first foal

    I am so very sorry for your loss. I had to have a mare euthanized once, and could not get her buried that day...so covered her with a tarp. The next day I discovered that our bouvier had eaten part of the horse. Naturally this freaked me out and I thought it would be best to euthanize the dog...
