    Austin, TX area mini owners....floating teeth?

    Since Carl isn't allowed to do his thing anymore.....who do you get to float your minis? I've asked a couple of vets I've found and none of them have the floats to do the minis. I have a couple of older mares that really need a float and I don't know where to go. Any suggestions???? Thanks...

    Spotted mouth on solid foal?

    This boy has me boggled. His dam is a solid, proven, smokey silver black roan. His sire, if my books are right, is a solid buckskin. Luke is a beautiful silvery silver dapple with icy blue eyes. I opened his mouth today to check his teeth and his mouth is spotted like a pinto. I'm sure his...

    Surprise foal this morning...leg question

    Bred this mare last year but due to too many meds prescribed by docs....didn't write down dates or who the sire is!!!! My bad! Didn't believe mare was pregs because all she did was get really fat. NO foal movement, squishy belly and NOTHING changed. Looked at her last night and because the...

    Any color experts still around? Gotta color question

    We had a colt born this year that I can't figure out his color. Sire is a buckskin and dam is a sorrel. Neither have been "color" tested so I'm not sure what genes they have. I will post photos of all 3 involved. Colt is a grayish color but mane and tail are dark. I'm really hoping he...

    Can someone in AZ help locate a mini?

    Haven't been on here in a long time. My friend sold a mini gelding to someone in the Phoenix area a few years back. His name is RDP Colt 45. She has been thinking about him lately and was just wondering where he ended up. Can anyone look him up and see who might own him now? Thanks,

    Storing hay in humid areas

    I've lived in a dry climate all my life. Storing hay was easy. Now that I'm moving to where it is humid, does hay storage change? Do you have to worry about it? Do you still store in a closed in barn? Do you have to do anything different? My hay is stored in a metal barn, completely closed...

    Breyer customizers....

    I bought this years ago on ebay. It's a How To Guide for customizing, repairing, painting, making tack, etc... for model horses. I know I paid WAY too much for it but I'm curious what you think it might be worth. I'm cleaning out some stuff since we're moving and since I haven't used this in...

    Pepper is now a gelding!!!

    I know right now he doesn't think so but he is going to be a much happier boy very soon. I was told they didn't geld him before because 3 people couldn't hold him down to sedate him. I made a mini twitch, the vet tech held the rope and the vet gave the shot. Yes, he did rear up once or twice...

    Those that have moved into TX from another state?

    I got the best birthday present ever....a job! Now, life gets stressful and very busy. When moving horses into TX, what all do you have to do? I know about coggins and stuff like that but do you just move onto the property? Life is good? Any suggestions or hints would be GREATLY appreciated.

    forum question, editing topic title?

    There has to be a way to edit the title 'cause I've seen people do it. HOW? If you want to add "updated" or something else how do you do it? Thanks,

    Pepper came home.

    I always geld my mule foals before they go to new homes. This one time I didn't and I never will again. He wasn't quite dropped and his new people wanted to take him home. OK. They didn't live far away and I could keep an eye on him. I kept encouraging them to geld him but every time there...

    Color experts, would you have said Bay?

    This is my little longear I just got back from the buyers. I'm posting baby pictures and current pictures. When he was born he was a gorgeous deep sorrel (I thought). He is now 2 and I body clipped him yesterday. I think he is really a bay. Daddy is a red/brown jack and momma is a nice...

    Maybe a silly question BUT, can a mare hate a stallion

    I got this mare last year. Covered her with my jack and she didn't come back into heat. No foal though so she didn't settle. OK no big deal, no foals this year. This year, I've bred her 2x now and she still hasn't settled. When I put her up, she tries to pee for about 30 minutes. She...

    Obviously taking too long to feed today......

    These 2 obviously thought I was taking way too long to feed this morning. They decided to help me out a bit by taking care of themselves. April, the "climber" is my 2 yr old champange brat and the little black/white is Savannah, my 10 yr old spoiled rotten first born.

    Mares with Silent heats

    How do you get them bred? I usually hand bred but the stallion I want to use knows how to pasture breed. I'm thinking the best plan is to throw them together for a while and let nature take it's course. I don't like to do that but I'd really like to get another foal from this mare! She's SO...

    Bluebonnet Feeds, Natures Blend

    Just saw this at the feedstore and liked the way it looks. It's got real rolled oats, probiotics, and all kinds of good stuff in it minus the molasses. It's 12% protein and 4% fat. Good for everything but weanlings apparently. Anybody tried it? Got any results if yes?
