I thought I saw on this forum a link to a map that shows selenium levels? I can't seem to find it in the archives so maybe it was somewhere else. Does anyone have the link per chance? Also, our little patch turns in at the knees, with the right leg a little worse than the left. Hubby & I...

I'm wondering what normal, or maybe I should say "average" newborn mini foal behavior is? I've read 3 mini books, Blessed are the Broodmares & Blessed are the foals... plus endless web searches... but I want to hear from real people. So, how much do they sleep in the first days of life? How...

Can someone explain how to put pictures into your post or point me to an explanation somewhere else? I thought I was fairly computer savvy, but this has me stumped! I love looking at the pics on here! Thanks, Crazyovergracie

I finally figured this out (I think). Here's our new boy. He still has no name, bless his heart. I'd love to hear some of your creative suggestions ... (Sire: Timber Ridges Dakota, Dam: Rubies Amazing Grace) http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/eell...-R1-036-16A.jpg Thanks for letting...

My mare is due any day. She is very full & swollen. In fact, her teats are so full now, they look more like small "bumps" rather than elongated nipples like before. I see advice given on here about testing a mare's milk for calcium & Ph levels. Hmmm? How do you do it? I saw a picture on...

I certainly want to thank everyone who responded to my questions surrounding our mini mare, Gracie and her soon-to-be delivery (bred by her father, whose also her grandfather -- Yikes! :no: )   Our family, kids included are so very excited about this birth. I haven't slept 4 hours straight...
