I do a pretty good job with grooming in general, but manes and tails are apparently just not my thing. I have 3 minis with that super thick Buckeroo mane and tail going on!!!!! I did an ok job when I thinned my stallion's mane and tail, but then I did my gelding and he looked like he had a...

I would love to hear from anyone whose not exactly a size 2 as to how they condition their minis to handle the added stress of pulling in the sandy rings. A few of the arenas I would be showing in around here are pretty deep. Both my stallion and my gelding pull me just fine on the flat firm...

Hello, I'm finally around again. Dial up was just a total hassle. Now that I finally have a wireless option I may visit more often :-) Anyway, I had a few questions about driving. I am finding I really enjoy the driving but with my muscle issues, I would prefer to use an easy entry cart. I...

Have you ever noticed when you type an e-mail to a horsey friend, you spend an eternity with the spell check because it refuses to recognize horse terms. Every time I type in farrier, it is certain I am talking about a furrier and I don't need any animal hides thank you very much - just my...

Hello, I hate to ask but I am hoping someone can help me locate It'll Do's Little Buckerooby. She is a B sized AMHR black (probably smokey) coming 4 yr old. She has been resold since I sold her and I am unable to get information of her whereabouts. It's possible she's in the northern states like...

Hey everyone. Everytime I think I actually have something figured out, I find out just how much I thought I knew and didn't LOL. First of all...... help me be sure I understand all this half and quartering stuff. I always had my kids show using the AMHR system, which I was thinking was the same...

My colt from this year It'll Do's Buckardi & Cream (pending) is about the most muley acting thing I've ever seen. He loves to come up for me to scratch his butt and I can do just about anything to him as far as touching him all over, picking up his feet etc. But heaven forbid I put that awful...

A beautiful star shines tonight, Those who are gazing know why it's so bright It shines with the life of one so young whose time on Earth was so quickly done It shines for all who are left to cry left to wonder, asking why The light is bright so all will find they are not truly left...

Trying to decide what color my foal is this year. He looked like a typical choc silver/ possibly smokey when he was born. His sire is a red silver and the dam is a palomino. When I clipped him, he is pretty much the same color underneath as his foal coat was. So far any chocolates or smokeys...

Just wanted to let everyone know what I decided. I am NOT going to breed her. Thankfully I decided to tough it out for a while and her cycle FINALLY calmed down. I am going to go by my vet's office and talk to him about putting her on ReguMate before the shows as we will probably only do 3 or 4...

OK, first let me say I am not a huge fan of breeding two yr olds. Let me also clarify that when I decided to try breeding, I felt like I was fairly well informed I didn't just say hey, let's see how fun it would be to see the miracle of life - because that's not how it works. It's dangerous...

It seems there are often posts on here wondering why small time breeders continue to own or breed less than national quality horses. Here is my perspective. Firstly. My boy is conformationally sound and his major fault would be a plain, less than typey head. However, you don't ride or drive a...

I decided to be lazy this year and not do a whole pattern thing, but I still had fun with it and I think I will cheat and enter it later in next years LB button contest :bgrin Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with. :aktion033: I wish I hadnt been feeling so blah lately so I...

I was out visiting with everyone this evening and was quite amused by the winter growth my boy has going on with his mane. I really need to give him a trim, but he's actually cute like this -in a homely sorta way :bgrin

Ok, first let me say Mary Lou and all those who help keep this place running, I think you do a wonderful job and I realize the whole nature of a forum is free speech by all. What I don't understand is how some of you can be so darned uppity to think you are the only one entitled to ask a...

Well, I've been sitting around feeling tired and sore for too many days and the brain starts having too much to think about LOL. But i was thinking about Larry Parnell's driving clinics and had a thought. In the Arabian world, there is a very well known and respected breeder named Bazy...

OK, Hypothetically here......Just suppose someone had the wild and crazy idea to try to get a Shetland/mini cross mare. Nice enough to be a show/broodmare, but gentle with kids...... what do you suppose that someone would need to expect price wise and where would be some recommended farms for...

Well, I have to tell you I am totally discombobulated and could use some input. I am in no hurry to do anything right away. But if I change my breeding stock, I am toying with the idea of the Shetland infusion. Here's the problem. In one way, I am with the group that feels that a shetland and a...

I'm sure no one remembers, but I bragged about how good my two were for theday care that came. I finally got my website fixed so I can SHOW you how good they were. As I said before, they may not be perfect in many ways, but they sure make up for it in other ways. Just in case you forgot...

This kind of stupidity that happened to Lyn is exactly why the world isn't nearly as fun as it once was!!!!! It used to be everyone helped each other. A few years back, we had a lady who's family just purchased horses and one of them was a foal who injured itself right after arrival. She didn't...
