I loved them when I had them, but unfortunately the winter took it's toll on them and they both caved in from heavy snow...actually they've done that every year for the past 3 years. I finally gave up and let the horses roam in and out of the stall on their own so they can go in there for...

I've used the double-blanket idea too. Fleece underneath another blanket seems to work well. I've always been a big advocate of "stuffing" them with hay when they're cold. The digestion process works the best at warming them up from the inside. Sounds like you've already done what you can to...

Just thought I would mention this...my sister's horse was "scared" of the blanket because it actually hurt...the static electricity was causing him to continually get "shocked" when the blanket moves around and especially when it's taken off. It took a while to figure it out, but it made...

I finally gave in and bought one last year from Valley Vet http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=2680e010-35c1-4395-88cf-d0db989bd149. Absolutely LOVE it! I wouldn't have it any other way. I agree, I wish it was longer, but I never had to worry about draining hoses or worry about...

I have no clue about colors, but I just wanted to say that second picture made me laugh...it's so adorable!!!! :wub :BigGrin

Thanks!

I was considering taking one of my minis to a color class at a local show, and I was wondering...what are the judges looking for exactly? Most "wow" factor? Do they look at conformation at all in the color class? Thanks in advance!

I've never taken a stab at name suggestions, but I happen to think of something when I saw her pic...very beautiful and dainty filly...what a precious little girl! Something about her daintiness reminded me of ballet...how about... Tango's Graceful Pirouette Tango's Elegant Pirouette Tango's...

I figured someone would have to say that after I re-read what I wrote. He was a very nice man and a great vet, and I'm sure he will be very missed by his family. Any end to life is sad. Don't automatically assume the worst of someone by a single post or a subject line! :arg! :arg! :frusty...

I'm so devastated! I called to make an appt. with my vet yesterday and found out from his wife that he died of a heart attack (while working on a horse of all things) back in March. I only use a vet for emergencies and surgeries, so I haven't spoken to him for about a year. Thank goodness I...

Beautiful filly! LOVE the blue eyes!!! :wub

Beautiful baby! And I LOVE mom's blue eyes! :wub

Pretty! :wub

Beautiful!!! :wub

I totally agree...that's definitely going on my list!

Thanks everyone. It seems like I'm not experiencing anything abnormal, which is good to know. Also encouraging to know that it may take a long time, but overall it should get better.

What a sweet face! I'd say definitely pit or pit mix. I've had two so far in my life. I just rescued one last June...I can't believe he's almost a year old now. VERY loving and sweet. Pits definitely get a bad wrap. Here's my baby, Cody That's great you could adopt her and save her...

Has anyone had a lumbar discectomy surgery or know someone who had it? I'm currently recovering from having it done and I'm disappointed with the SLOW recovery. I'm at 7 weeks post-op right now. Before surgery, I mostly had pain in the back of my right thigh and right buttock. In...

You might want to do a search on previous threads for this too...I think this has been discussed and you might find some more answers there. I do use wood pellets and love them. I don't have any foals...all grown adults. So I throw them in there (on stall mats) and do not wet them, although I...

I don't have a picture at the moment, but I use a "regular" aluminum fence gate with mesh on the bottom half. I originally used rabbit wire for the mesh, but found out later you can buy the gate with a small mesh already installed. They're available at Tractor Supply, and similar places I...
