Thanks Jodi - she doesn't really have a bag (very slight) - I just feel the swelling in her nipples - I hope that makes sense? The day that we kept her in due to the torential down-pouring, she definitely had a bag, but hasn't had anything like that since. I'm watching her like a hawk and...

Hi Everyone - I posted about our pregnant rescue mare, Merrylegs, a while back. We pulled her from a local auction at the end of the summer and she was confirmed in foal via ultrasound by our veterinarian. We had her scanned again at the end of December and were told that by best guesstimate...

Our rescue mare is approximately 8 months along according to her ultrasound - when can you normally see/feel the baby moving? Also, does anyone have mare's around the 8th month of pregnancy that they can post pictures of for comparison? We pulled her from a local auction already pregnant, so...

PS - Does she look about 8 months along? Absolutely no changes anywhere with her except the ever rounding belly. No bag development at all am or pm and sometimes I 'think' I see the baby moving, but wonder if it's actually that or just her breathing. When can you usually see the baby move? I...

I would love to get her tested It would be interesting to know what color she really is. I have no idea about her parents, we got her from auction at the end of the summer already pregnant, although the person selling her swore there was no way that she was.......HA! We have no clue what she...

This is the pregnant Miniature Merrylegs that we pulled from the auction. She is supposed to be around 8 months pregnant now (our vet said April 1st due date according to her two ultrasounds).   Does anyone have a guess on what color she is? Her summer/winter colors are very different.  ...

Now, this is going to probably sound like a very stupid question, but it's ok to feed her some alfalfa hay?   I have her on a very soft timothy/orchard grass mix right now. A few different people told me that Alfalfa hay would be too much for a Miniature and it didn't make much sense to...

Hi Everyone - We rescued a large Mini in bad shape from a local auction here in Maryland back in July. As she started to gain weight, her belly began to really round out and out of concern, we had our vet out to check for pregnancy. Yup, she was in foal (after the owner selling her told us...

Windingroad - if you want to send them to me at [email protected], I will put them into a photobucket and post the pictures for you. Steph

I don't think anyone should be offended - it certainly does look like a clear cut hoarding situation. Not many of us need a shrink to diagnose that - Animal Control and those that rescue will call a hoarding situation a hoarding situation based on facts & evidence, most of what was called in...

Any kind of rescue work is emotionally charged - people are human and they get angry, sad, anxious, etc... I hardly blame anyone for doing that as I don't think there is a person on this board or anywhere in the world that can say they don't get upset and say things that they wouldn't normally...

Hi Everyone - The Fans of Barbaro are all over this as well - if anyone would like to come to our website and read the thead about the mini's, please go to: http://forums.prospero.com/alexbrown/messages?msg=15503.1 Everyone is completely up in arms over these little guys and I think voices...

I just got off of the phone with the sheriff's office - Sheriff Coleman was not in so I asked who I would speak with in regards to an animal welfare issue. The deputy sheriff knew exactly what I was talking about and asked if I was referring to the Miniature horses. He told me that they've...

Ok, we have a lot of people on board to start calling tomorrow and the emails didn't go out that long ago - people are forwarding and those reading the emails and seeing the video's and pictures are taking notice. It will not be long before the Kansas officials know they're in the spotlight and...

Ok, the emails are going out now. If there are any other individuals that should be included on this email, please let me know and I will add them. I have 5 pictures of the Miniatures in this email, but they are not showing up as I copy and paste here. If anyone would like it emailed to them...

You got it - I will start writing up emails to gather the callers tonight and have it ready first thing tomorrow morning to get everyone ready to start the Monday "call in".......the calls will continue relentlessly until something is done, that is how it works. I will post everything here...

Ginny and all - Last winter, there was a starving mare and foal in a pasture in West Virginia. The people in that state trying to help ran into the same uncaring and ignorant attitudes as all of you are running into now. After we all tried and tried, they refused to do a thing. It got to the...

We recently pulled a very thin mare from our local auction. I'm not quite sure if she would be considered a Mini as she is 40". She was so thin & dehydrated and deathly afraid of people, we even had a hard time getting her out of her pen at the auction. After almost a month of good nutrition...

Just to let everyone know, slaughter has not completely stopped in the US. Cavel is still slaughtering the last I knew to provide meat for zoo's. They are not slaughtering at the capacity they were, but they're still slaughtering just the same. Not that it really matters either...
