I suspect like me, many of you also belong to all-breed forums. Many of these forums have a 'Bad ad/dumb ad' category. It pains me to see so many Mini ads and their links and pictures, appear on such forums. At the moment, several are making the rounds. One, an ad from a woman in Wisconsin...

Ads like this, really disgust me. Even the full size saddle is too big and heavy for the horse, let alone an adult size girl riding. I hope he finds a good home where he is not so abused. Sadly, he will probably be sold to others of the same ilk...

My little ten year old granddaughter, just received The President's Award for educational excellence. This fab little girl, already has her own business, breeding chickens and selling chicks and eggs to save money, so that one day she will be able to attend Oxford University in England. And all...

On other forums, I recently advertised two rescue horses for a lady. Both geldings. One Gypsy Horse cross and one QH. The owner is very particular about where they will be placed. I have had many enquiries. I've received emails from some very iffy people, asking to adopt these free horses...

Considering that so many each year, lose their homes and all belongings to flood, earthquakes, tornados etc., I know most did not have a list of items (with pics) within the home. This obviously for insurance purposes. Last week, I went through my home, room by room and took photos of...

While researching something today, to update a page on my daughter's website, I happened across a site belonging to a woman in Italy. I was surprised to find, she had copied, word for word, plus our pictures, an entire page from Harlequin Farms website. And then had the gall to copyright it...

I hope you are all watching, the Westminster Dog Show on the USA channel. Some super dogs lined up this year. Lizzie

Awfully cute. Lizzie

Since some asked about Brussels Griffons, I thought it might be interesting for members to tell facts about their own breed of choice. So I'll start with BGs. I showed my first dogs in England, in 1952. Through the years, I showed Great Danes, Dandie Dinmonts and handled a few other breeds for...

As some of you know, I have had Brussels Griffons for many years now. This is Belvedere - known as Belly, at home. He received a nice winter coat for Christmas. Problem is, he loves it so much, we have to hide it, or he constantly begs to have it on. This funny boy loves clothes. My daughter...

Reble's very sad loss, prompted me to write a bit about ponds. A friend of mine, lost her beautiful yearling Shire colt, a couple of years ago. He had waded into the pond in his pasture and become stuck in the mud. He was a big, strong colt and one would have thought, would have been easily able...

The recent discussion on dwarf Minis here, prompted me to do a little research. I found many dwarf Minis for sale, all over the net. I also noticed something else. A couple of people in the US, were constantly asking about those for sale and actually wanting more. Certainly their questions and...

I have been looking into the history of old breeders and their horses. While I know several of the horses, I am wondering who owned the Komoko horses, started the name, where they got their original stock etc. Does anyone know? Lizzie

...how I might get in touch with Joyce (luv2ridesadleseat) please? I have messaged her but no reply. Thanks Lizzie

I have often wondered why some leave longer hair above the tail when showing. I presume it is to make a low set tail seem higher. Silly really, since (to me anyway) it draws more attention to a maybe lower set tail. How did this start and become accepted? Lizzie
