My nieces watch a show on the Nickelodeon channel called "True Jackson". They recorded an episode for me with a mini/pony in it. I found it quite amusing! Of course I now go around mindlessly singing "The Pancake Song". Here's a link to the episode on the internet; you just need to click...

For those following this case, I was able to get a bit more information. This afternoon I spoke with the Assistant State Attorney for Walton County, Florida, Mr. Gregory Anchors, who is one of the people working on the case to bring charges against the “alleged” abusers of Champ, the starved...

Safe-Guard® Equi-bits 0.5% Fenbendazole Deworming Pellets (alfalfa-based pellet that can be mixed with any feed ration) Has anyone used this dewormer? It's not the daily, continuous dewormer--it's a one day only method. I have a senior big guy that has become very difficult to deworm and...

Sent to me by my brother-in-law. Merry Christmas from Ashland University

Why did I just hear of this? I'm usually up on these things. The politicians in the State of California passed some bill that allows them to take an extra 10% withholding from our paychecks, starting tomorrow, until April 15, 2010!!! They will then "give it back" after April 15th. Gee, do...

My sister in Michigan emailed me a link to a story about a big horse and a mini whose tails were cut off and stolen in the middle of the night. How terrible!! Thankfully they knew enough to cut below the tail bone. I saw some special order, custom tail extensions at our local English saddlery...

Austraila Wildfires I hope all our Australian forum members are okay. This is a very tragic situation down under. Living in California, where we have our share of wildfires, I can feel for these folks and my heart (and prayers) go out to them. There are also floods in the north: "While...

Does anyone have any recipes for tasty, easy-to-prepare cold appetizers that I could bring to potluck gatherings? I have plenty of recipes for warm/hot appetizers, but many of the parties I attend don't have a way to heat them up or keep them warm (or it's too much trouble). Thanks in advance...

What a tough way to spend Thanksgiving. I have had the stomach flu since Wednesday afternoon, and all the yuckiness that goes with it. I am on the upswing, though still very weak and in bed. I can finally keep little bits of food down but I have no appetite and still feel nauseous. The...

Just checking in to make sure everyone is okay with the fires out here. Lots of evacuations going on. I just hate these Santa Ana winds and "fire season". Has me on pins and needles.

This news story caught my eye since they mentioned miniature horses. Does anyone on the board live in this area? It's in Emmaus, Pennsylvania which looks to be near Allentown & Bethlehem. I'm just worried about the minis. Here's the headline and a link to the story. Dozens of frozen...

Unbelievable! Keep those doors closed. Poor dog. We're in mountain lion territory, too, and I just can't imagine this happening. Mtn. Lion Snatches Dog

Hi Everyone, I hope you will go to www.goodsearch.com and use this site as your primary search tool on the web. I had emailed Gini and she registered Chances Mini Horse Rescue as a charity that can earn money when people search using this search engine. It looks very much like Google but with...

We have a show coming up this weekend and I read in the "Best of..." forum about using the effervescent denture cleaners to whiten the tails. Has anyone tried this? Does it work? I've used Quic Silver shampoo but it could still use a little more brightening. Any tips would be greatly...

Ugh...these little fellows have been wild since they were body clipped. We have a local show tomorrow--first one for me with the minis (but it's not just for minis)--and had just finished bathing Silver (my 5 yr. old). When he got back in the stall with Billy they went at it playing, as...

Quite a few people I know have used Spencer LaFlure, an "Equine Dentist", to float their horses' teeth. None of these people I know have miniature horses so all the work has been done on full-size horses. Spencer is not a vet, but does sometimes "lightly" sedate horses if absolutely necessary...

Gini advised me that items are being accepted. Thanks Gini! (Edited with answer received.)

I am considering learning to become an equine massage therapist. Does anyone here use one or have you used one? I know they are quite popular for the large horses that compete. Just trying to get a feel for the market. I would love to leave the corporate world sooner rather than later...

A friend sent me to this website and I had to "elf" my minis, Billy and Silver. At the end of their "dance" you can "elf yourself". It's easy and fun!! I'm addicted! http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1122049149

I was just wondering if there are any specific items needed for the rescued horses at this time? I have some gently used items that I don't need and would be willing to do some Christmas shopping for the rescues (gives me a good excuse to shop for horse stuff since I have everything I could...
