At a BIG show I want a BIG ribbon or neck sash like Charlotte said. When I'm showing at smaller or local shows, a rosette for Champion and Reserve is nice. After showing horses for years (both quarter horses and miniatures) we had bags and bags of ribbons in the basement that we eventually threw...

WOW.......WOW.......WOW!!!!!! Beautiful, WOW!

I have heard that Listerine (the mint flavor) is a good bug repellent and smells good too!

I showed a black gelding for years and I always dyed his mane and tail at the beginning of the year. It makes a world of difference. However, in hindsight, even though he was a jet black gelding, the jet black dye job always looked a little funny to me. No one else ever said anything so maybe...

Charlotte- With our foals, we lifted a front leg straight out in front of them just high enough to lay a tape measure against their leg. We measured from the middle of the knee to the hairline at the top of the hoof and multiplied by 4 and added 2. We just laid the tape straight on their leg...

I always used "Jheri Redding Professional Prescription Silver Lustre Shampoo". It is a human shampoo that is sold at Sally Beauty Supply or probably any hair salon supply store that is open to the public would have it. It is designed for human grey hair to remove stains from hard water...

REO- Sure, go ahead and use her picture if you would like to. If you can copy the one posted, go ahead and use that or send me your mailing address and I will send you a copy of the original. I have a list started of people who want her picture.

This is Circle S Midge. The picture was taken in the spring of 2000 with her last foal, Circle S Bright Impression. She passed away about 5 years after this picture was taken. This photo is also in the Circle S thread.

If this works........... this is Circle S Midge. If this doesn't work, well, it's been a long time since I posted a picture here. This picture was taken in the Spring of 2000. This is her last foal, Circle S Bright Impression. Rose, of course I don't mind if you post pictures of Midge. You...

We had mares that did that. It's not really a bag, could just be some excess fluid built up there or fatty deposits. Our mares that usually did this were either older mares that had had several foals or ones that were a bit overweight. From the angle of your picture, it doesn't look like your...

Orkie and BBH- Yes, I do have a very nice picture of Midge. It is probably the best picture that was ever taken of that mare and it was taken just a few years before she died. If you would send me your addresses, I would be happy to make copies and send you each one for your records. The next...

Hi Beth- I definitely remember the name Abigail but I can't say I really remember the mare. I'm going to go out on a limb though and say she was probably a pretty nice mare. I can tell from the picture of your mare that she must have been nice, your mare is very pretty. I will say that...

Dona- I always have to laugh when anyone says they remember the first time they talked to my dad, it seems most people don't forget him once they have talked to him. He has a big personality that sticks with you. Once he saw your stallion, he was on a mission to find a Cock Robin daughter...

Kaycee- The farm Mom and Dad owned was completely underwater during the flood of '08. However, they had sold the house, buildings and pasture in November of 2007, about 7 months before the flood hit. The water was just below the ceiling in the first floor. It was really hard to go back and...

Congratulations on the World Championship!! That is AWESOME! I am so happy for you!! I check your web-site every so often to keep up on Ace. He was "my boy", he and I always got along great. I always wanted to show him, I think he would have done awesome in the show ring and I could have...

Be careful with those crazy things. There was an article in our newspaper just last week about a local guy (we're in southeast iowa) that got bit by a bat. He put his arm into the leg of a pair of jeans he was getting ready to wash to turn them right side out and something stung his hand...

Becky- I was with Mom and Dad when they delivered her to you and Reflection to Frank and Charlotte in Columbia, MO at the AMHR Nationals. I'm glad to know you still have her and are so happy with her. She is a beautiful mare. Thanks for all the wonderful comments on the last thread. Kelly

My parents, Dwight and Jan Strassheim, owned Circle S Miniature Overo Horses. If anyone is still looking for information regarding their breeding program, horses, or other information, ask away. Answers to some of the earlier questions I remember: Mom and Dad retired about 3 years ago and...

Congratulations!! What a dandy he is. I know what you mean about nothing ever being easy, it's the same at our farm. I too had a foal this year from a mare who had not foaled in 5 years and was presumed barren/shut down. Never in a million years did I think this mare would have a baby and...

So sorry for the loss of your little one. He was adorable. Hind sight is always 20/20, don't think about the what if's or should have's. His life was short but had a purpose, if you have another or someone you know has a foal with these problems, you will be more prepared to handle it. I too...
