I am looking for input from anyone who has placed their horses (not sold)in new homes. I am trying to place them in great homes where they will be cared for and not just people who want a free horse. Do you have a contract that you use or do you check references? Any input would be greatly...

I've been asked how big should a mini be to be ridden. I'm not sure I know the answer to that. Does anyone have recommendations on this topic? I know build plays a factor in this as well but in general is there a certain mark as a minimum. Thanks, Karen

I would like to ask for someone's assistance with the value of a horse. If anyone has been selling horses recently please PM me. I am looking for an honest, current market value. I don't want to post info here and I don't want to break any forum rules. Thank you.

Just received results back on a filly I was never sure on her color. Dam is silver (chocolate) dapple and sire is sorrel/white pinto (non-homozygous). I thought she was a light silver dapple b/c I didn't think there was any cream but I guess there is (if I'm reading results correctly). Cream...

As many of you probably know I have stopped breeding horses - made that decision about 3 years ago. I have 2 stallions - one is 15 and I've had him for 12 years and the other one is 7 and just had 5 years. Since I stopped breeding no real need for stallions. My older stallion is a keeper but I...

We haven't bred any mares for almost 4 years. My heart just isn't into it anymore....too much can and has gone wrong. I am faced with a dilema and would welcome any input. I have 2 stallions - 1 is 15 and was one of my first horses so I have decided to geld him so he can enjoy the company of...

We are trying to plan a family vacation next summer. Hubby and I went to Hawaii last summer (mainly for business but I tagged along) and loved it. It's too expensive for all of us to go so we thought Cozumel might be a good place to snorkel, swim with dolphins, etc. Has anyone been there? Good...

Hello, We have been looking at several different breeds of sheep and went and looked at some Shetland sheep last night. They are a smaller breed that have nice wool for spinning. Does anyone have these type of sheep or other wool breeds? Do you process your own fiber? I'd be interested to hear...

Our Pyrenees had to wear a collar of shame after she was spayed. It rubbed a small area on her neck and now there is proud flesh. I've experienced this with horses but not with dogs. Any remedies? Thanks, Kareng

We just adopted a Great Pyrenees who will be spayed shortly. While we were at the vet, he suggested tacking her stomach at the same time. I had never heard of this. Anyone had this done before. Pros? Cons? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I was offered a job contingent on several checks - background, driving and credit. It does deal quite a bit with financial issues. We don't have perfect credit. What exactly do they check? We have a mortgage and have 2 car loans which we obtained fine. We do have some credit card debt which is...

I have to say that I'm not one for all the big names who don't seem down to earth and that's not so much the case in country music as it is in other areas (actors come to mind) but I was just touched by her emotions when she sang "I Wonder" at the award show and broke down. What a moment for her...

I was hoping to find someone who works in Human Resources who might be able to help me update my resume/cover letter. Maybe someone who does the hiring and can help me update my resume and even interview skills. I am beyond frustrated trying to find a job. I don't know if my resume and/or cover...

I signed up on line to receive a coupon for a free quart of Blue Bunny ice cream. Received it in the mail and realized it can only be redeemed at A&P or Waldbaum's Stores. I *think* these are in the NY/NJ area but I'm not sure. If anyone has a store close and would like this coupon please pm or...

Thanks!

I am getting ready to do my 30 day pre-foaling vaccines. I normally give Eastern, Western, Tetanus and Influenza. I vaccinate for WNV after they foal and before I rebreed. I don't do Pneumabort at 5, 7, and 9 months anymore as I've had some mares abort and there has been some findings that this...

My husband and I are going to a Halloween costume party with the theme of Night of the Living Dead. You dress up as a fictional or non-fictional person who is dead or you would like them to be dead. We are NOT creative people!!! I don't think we have dressed up for Halloween since we've known...

I'd be interested in hearing everyone's experiences with selling their horses. How many ads do you generally place? Do you only advertise via your website? How many responses do you generally receive to your ad(s) (besides the ones from Mr. So and So from South Africa or Nigeria!!)? Do you get...

We've had a really good crop of tomatoes and I've frozen some (just washed and quartered them) to use in soups, stews, etc. Does anyone have any recipes or ideas of what else to do with them. We usually don't have this many. I don't can so it would need to be something I can freeze - salsa...

For those of you who use Pay Pal and have verified accounts, do you have a separate checking account for this? I have some items Ebay that if the buyer wants to pay via Pay Pal then I'll have to have a verified account due to the amount. I'm a little nervous about putting my personal checking...
