I have been trying to lunge a certain horse of mine, but it isn't working out well at all. She either wants to try to bolt away from me if I give her the line, nearly pulling from my hand, or she will turn facing me and stop. Then we end up having to start over. I couldn't get more than 2 full...

The mama is now producing more milk. We were concerned at 1st, even boughht milk replacer just in case. But I am happy to say that we did not have to use it! Shasta is running around and loves to kick up his heels. The mama is such a good mama, she allows us to mess with her baby any time, but...

Sometime last year I had read a thread about problems geldings and the ungelded alike can get problems down in the nether regions, and have to be cleaned out with warm water on ocassion, and that some do this fairly regularly. My friend, who had recently purchased a yearling colt (the smae who...

I have been on a hunt for a saddle, but didn't want to pay a bundle. More for my own pleasure, and working with our 2 QH's we recently purchased. Well, it was beginning to be a little bit of a desperate effort, knowing that I really needed to put them under saddle. I was offered a Simco for...

I'd love to share belly pictures of our black and white pinto who we were surprised to learn that was preggers from a full size donkey (done by the people we bought her from) She was suppose to have been given an abort shot. Do the shots always work, or did he lie to us? Sorry I don't know how...

Ok, so we bought 2 3 yr. old QH's 3 1/2 weeks ago. We have had so many problems since then and has been a bit frustrating to say the least. The mini gelding thinks he's all that and abag of chips, and wants a stand off with the full siz QH gelding. We had to seperate them because that little...

I got a call a couple hours ago and that is what they told me. They could feel the broken needle under the skin after they talked to the vet . The vet told them to just watch for infection. So they called for my advice. I was clueless since I have never had that to happen before. (Vets are slim...

This is our mini that was bred to a donkey. The picture was taken last October. Now that it has sunk into my skull that we are actually going to have a little one running around soon, and I am feeling a bit more knowledgeable and nearly all set for it's arrival, I am beginning to feel a little...

Ok. This is basically a new experience for me, and many of you here have had many experiences with foaling. Since I don't know the date of conception due to previous owners carelessness, heck, I was under the impression that she wasn't even pregnant because of the previous owner until a couple...

What determines the size of a foal (at least at birth), the mare or the stud? I am asking in reguards to a mini mare who someone had bred to a full size donkey. Would this be aconcern during birth due to size? We had purchased her, and the previous owner was suppose to have given her an abort...

We went to see a 20 yr. old horse someone wanted to introduce to us last Sunday. It was pretty cold out and when he was being ridden, and was asked to step it up into a fast trot, he began coughing. He didn't cough when just standing around, at a walk or even a slow trot, but only when he began...

I know it has been a while since I have last visited. I think about you all often, but my preschool occupies my work hours almost completely, and I don't have a computer at home. I hope everyone is doing well. We have gotten settled in quite well on our property since moving there and I am...

Hi everybody! I am sorry I haven't been around in a while. Haven't even got to come to read. This school year for my preschool (which is growing fast all at once BTW) is keeping me swamped. It'll slow down, but not yet. I have 8 boys enrolled and noooo girls! I was teasing my hubby saying we...

This preschool has really been taking alot of time from me. At this time, I have a love/hate relationship with it. I sooo need a vacation. I haven't had one in 2 years and I am tired from the cycle of working. But it will get better and when I get the students built up, I do plan on taking a...

This was on the news a couple days ago and it has just really bothered me to no end... a 12 1/2 year old boy is being punished for going around hitting classmates on their bottoms. His punishment.... registering as a sex offender. Can you believe that?? That is just so obserd. That poor child...
