    My theory about the late foals this season

    I have been reading a lot lately about the mares foaling so late, not just mini's but full size horses too. So I am thinking that is has a lot to do with how our seasons have been changing so much and the winters have been running long and late. Now us humans go by our calendar so we have...

    Color Question

    Our mare Barbie is in foal now and was bred to the same stallion that she was bred to last time. My question is would it be safe to assume that the foal would come out the same color as last time?

    Strangles link to muscle disorder in horses

    Here is a post from another site I go to that I thought should be in everyones mental rolodex that owns horses. Maybe put the article on your clipboard thats in the barn so if it comes up you don't forget about it. If a vet has not read of the study finding and is just simply not aware it may...
