I adopted Lucy (Grosshill EKs Illusive Hussler) October 28th, 2005. She was one of the pregnant mares in the Upton case. She foaled a beautiful healthy, cheeky filly on May 11, 2006. About 3 1/2 weeks ago Lucy became very ill. It was first thought colic, but then it was thought she was...

Here are some pics my mom took while letting the 2 outside for half an hour(she stayed with them). I opened the door during feeding time and once Lucy had her grain Legz decided she wanted to go on a walk by herself! She jumped out of the stall and said hello to the wheelbarrow. She doesn't...

Thursday May 11 Lucy foaled a gorgeous red and white filly with one blue eye at 10:52PM. Lucy was kind enough to let me get home from a field trip at the Bronx Zoo and give me about 45 minutes before I needed to dress in some barn clothes and get out there. It was a text book birth. It was all...

I thought I'd share some pics from the beginning of the month and just a couple days ago of Lucy. (How mean of me...calling her a Moose LOL) This was taken March 1st. And this was taken on the 19th...Soon she won't fit through the stall door! :new_shocked: LOL I also have a question. Do...

I've been wondering what color pattern Lucy is...I've posted pics somewhere else and people were saying Overo and others were saying Tobiano... So...anyone know what she is??

It's been warm and very sunny lately...And by Friday it's going to be in the mid 60's!! :new_shocked: Yesterday Lucy was sweating from just standing around...I spent around 30 minutes shedding her out as much as I could, and I could tell she liked it! Is there anything I can do to make her...

We got the barn cam set up and running! http://www.marestare.com/Cams.html and then click on "Lucy's Cam" I'd like as many people to watch her as possible.

I had a girl PM me her concerns about my mare Lucy. She said a red bag delivery could be possible. I've read about them but I figured I'd read up on them more. One article is written by a lady who's friend had two red bag deliveries and after the 2nd one the vet recommended putting the mare on...

Does anybody know what those Foal Alerts cost? They are those things that go on a halter and beep inside the house when the mare lays flat right? Are they easy to find? Or do I need to order it on line?

There's another thread asking if the Ring Test worked for anybody...And then somebody said they did the String Test... What are these Tests and how are they done? I've figured out they are to see if your mare is pregnant with a colt or filly(wive's tale)... And also, what does it mean when a...

Somebody just posted about their mare having her foal(early). She said it wasn't a preemie...Can someone tell me what a preemie is?

Our barn is about 100' from the house with a stand of trees between us. We tried to hook up a 2.4 mHz video/audio baby monitor that was to work up to 300' but we couldn't get a clear picture and only got static. Does anyone use a web cam? Did you put your own componenets together or did you...

We all love our minis and they certainly love us back(who doesn't love the one who gives out food? LOL) Have you ever had any special moments with your mini? Or a moment that when you looked at your mini when times were hard and felt they understood? Or maybe your mini did something miraculous...

Like the title says I figured I'd introduce myself... I've been in the "horse world" for about 8 or 9 years now. I have a big horse mare (Oldenburg cross Arabian) named Fiona and she's 9 years old. She's my first and I got her 2 years ago. I love her to bits, we've been through a lot with her...

I'm full of questions! LOL My mare's registered name is Grosshill EKs Illusive Hussler. Can anyone tell me anything about Grosshill? I know it's a farm(I think in Florida), and I think they sold out or sold a bunch of horses. Can anyone tell me about this farm?

I rescued a mare on October 28, 2005...She's a doll, I love her to pieces. She was very skinny when I first got her(though her winter coat hid it pretty well) and she had a belly...Turns out it was a baby belly! So in November she was ultrasounded(external) and we found a baby, moving and...

For the last 3 days I have let Lucy the mini outside of her own gated area into my big horse's(Fiona) area. I first started out with putting a flake out and they both ate from it(Fiona amazed me when she didn't hog the pile...maybe she knows Little Miss Lucy needs it more then she does...That...

I rescued a mare over the weekend and she comes from the Eqyptian King line...I hope to be showing her by next summer...But I'd like to know if she's ever been shown and what her show record was(if she has one). Is there a way for someone to plug in her name some where to find out? Her...

Hello all!! This past Saturday I rescued a mini mare. She's 7 years old and 33 1/2 inches. I don't have a weight tape but I did the weight formula (heart girth X heart girth X length divided by 300 + 50) and it looks correct. It came out to be about 262lbs(just a ball park figure)...What's...
