    Miniature horse trailers...do they exist in Canada???

    I'm in Ohio and had mine custom made by Calico Trailer Company. I am actually playing with the idea of selling mine (After Nationals) because I have been thinking along the lines of getting a two horse gooseneck. I love my Mini Trailer, but as I stay in my trailer at shows, traveling more, and...

    Why Do You Breed or Why Have You Stopped?

    I am a breeder, I choose to only breed a few mares every year, some years I may not breed any. When I decided to breed it was because there is a certain look that I am looking for in my show horses. I was having a horrible time finding exactly what I wanted, so I decided to do the research and...

    Littermaid Litter Box?

    Boss Mare, I had a dog who snacked, vet told me to put Accent (its sold in the spice section at grocery stores) on their food and it would stop. He was right, didn't have any snackers for almost 5 months, then did it again when he was caught. Worked well for the horsey apple snacking too...

    equine illness

    MM ~ My heart goes out to you, I'm so sorry for what you have gone through-- {HUGS} While I was reading your post something came to mind, I had just had a talk with my vet last month about the strange growing weather we had in Southern Ohio and the impact on the hay and crops. One of the...

    Horse Trailer Camera

    Hey Leeana, Wish I had known you were thinking about getting a camera in the trailer, you could have looked at mine. I bought the Trailer Eyes system from Big Dees http://www.bigdweb.com/TRAILER-EYES-WIRELESS-MONITORING-SYSTEM/productinfo/9290/ while it is not perfect, and there is a learning...

    donkey as a herd protector

    I had a standard donkey jenny that loved cattle, was scared to death of horses, and hated other donkeys. God rest her soul, I lost her a week ago at around 28 yrs old (still very hard). She was the best guard animal I could have ever had, we never lost another calf after she came, she let us...

    potbelly-how to get rid of????

    I agree with Ashley, you had a lot to work with from the start! Give her time, and a good feeding program, you will see results. There is a huge change from the first pic. to the last, it may be hard to see at first because you see her every day. I don't think you have a shavings eater from...

    potbelly-how to get rid of????

    If she is bedded on shavings, could she be eating them? Had a small 28" ish gelding who looked great except the big gut, drove myself nuts trying to figure it out.. caught him munching shavings, reduced the shavings in his stall, belly went down.

    Question about selling ethics

    Personally I am a breeder and a shower, and YES it is bad buisness to not be completely 100% honest! I have probably talked people out of buying more of my horses because I will tell them the good bad and ugly about a horse they are looking at. In my contracts I list everything that I know is...

    AMHA Hardship Closing

    I am probably going to unintentionally step on toes or hurt feelings, however, this is my feelings on the issue. I fully understand wanting to be a recognized breed, but not at the expense of outcross genetics. Many breeds past and present use other "accepted" outcrosses to keep new...

    I only want my Mom!

    I wean on a normal foal at 5-6 months, last year I had a foal who had a really hard way to go and was in and out of the Vet hospital for the first 3-4 months of her life. I held off weaning her until she was almost 8 months old (mom was doing a good job with her) and two things happened. 1. it...
