I am asking for your opinions so please be honest and tell me what you think. My 5 year old went swimming with the school yesterday and one of the mothers was taking pics of all the kids. It was not organised by the school and we weren't asked if we were o.k with it. I personally wasn't and...

I thought I would do a topic on dangerous things for the new mums. Never leave a headcollar on a mare with a foal at foot. Stumbling little foals can get their little feet caught in the mares headcollar and it could be tragic. Cassie can tell you just how terrible it is. ALWAYS remove...

Hi to all you lovely ladies. As you can see foaling season is in full swing and we have lots of mares to watch and hopefully more will join. I wonder if I could ask you to help out us Aunties by changing your titles to help us identify the mares and their due dates easier. In the morning I have...

Wishing you all a very special day full of love and chocolate

Does anyone have any foal pics of their horse that became either blue or bay roan as an adult please? I have a new colt born last night from a blue roan mare and by a black minimal pinto and I have no idea what colour he is Thanks Renee

Finally after several years of trying my mare Britt gave birth to a beautiful colt. She was induced as I wanted to make sure the vet was here and thank goodness she was cos it was a red bag and even though the vet had him out in seconds he suffered and was a dummy foal. He was born at 7.00pm...

Vet came yesterday and sedated my stallion to do his teeth, when he lifted his head the horse fainted and had a seizure. The vet gave him fenydine (sp) and left. Since then the horse is cold and shaking and won't get up. Vet is coming back. Sny ideas on what it could be as I have lost faith in...

“Foaling Mare’s Secret Code”   The mare’s secret code of honor is as old as horses themselves and is ultimately the species best kept secret. NO mare shall ever produce a foal before it’s time.   It’s time being determined by the following factors:   1. No foal shall be born until total...

Ok I know she isn't due until May but I can't keep hijacking Cassie's thread. She is 12 years old and this will be her third foal for me. She rally has me baffled She has a very large edema in front of her udder and a loose hooha. Is it normal for the edema to be so large and so soon...

I know this has been discussed before but I wanted to ask one thing. Have any of you had mares mounting other mares that were NOT pregnant. Thanks Renee

Hi everyone, A couple of days ago I noticed that my 2 year old Weimaraner has moments of teeth chattering. It will happen whilst she is laying quietly or when she is walking around the house. It doesn't last for long but her whole head shakes. Any ideas what it could be? She will be seeing the...

I brought them all in after a few hours out in the snow and whilst picking out their feet I noticed that one of them hat warm hooves, slightly more in the hind than the front. I have called both the vet and the farrier but I wondered if anyone could put me out of my misery whilst I am waiting...

As above, I am trying to find out if it is sold in Europe and if so where Thanks Renee

Does anyone have a mini that suffers from the above? I would like to know how it was diagnosed and how you treat it. Thanks in advance Renee

Last night when I fed the horses one of my sons riding ponies wouldn't go and eat her hay, she kept standing at the gate and calling me. The temperature has dropped significantly in the last two days and it has been -4 / 25° Fahrenheit at night so I think she wants to come in. I wasn't prepared...

Her thread has gone from here and from Marestare does anyone know what happened?

Some of you may have read that just over a month ago one of my foals that I had sold as a weanling came home as a 3 year old in a terrible condition, well he is now worm and mite free and in much better shape. When he first arrived my stallion was out for the kill but after seeing him in the...

I wish you all the best for an amazing 2012

Last night my 16 year old Yorkie cross passed away in Italy all alone, I feel awful now about having left him. I knew he wouldn't last forever but I just wish he could have waited 2 more days as I will be back from my Xmas holiday. He was a real character, he was tiny and was brushed daily but...

I would like to say thank you very much for my surprise gift that I received. You should have seen how excited I was when I saw the bucket holder my yearling just loves knocking his water over and it has been a long on going battle, well he is not a happy camper now he sploshed it around a...
