So sorry that you lost your foal. I lost one at 10 days who was born with a congenital defect. I had an LFG that stated foal stands and nurses. Well he did and I lost him at 10 days. Contract said...

That's a long sad story that I'd rather not go into, but basically a situation developed because the vet lost control of the situation such that the umbilicus tore off right at, or below, the skin....

Preferably before weaning as it is easier on them and their Mums keep them moving to keep the swelling down. As to timing, like New Year's Eve, as soon as the balls drop. ;)

I just had a foal in the horsepital for a possible sepsis. He was 3 weeks old, had diarrhea and his blood count was off and he was just a teeny bit lame in the walk on one front. The vet said her...

Prince Rose is also an ancestor of Sandro Hit. Great, great grandsire I think. Good blood there in much of the pedigree.

I have most of the "Top 20" in my foundation mares. Whoo hoo!

If you're talking about the sides of the hocks, they all get that. I've never treated them. They're not raw, just hairless.

I have four.

Elite Mare Candidate Hawthorne Rose (a Hawthorne by Olympic Cocktail mare) confirmed in foal to Bugatti. She should make Elite Mare this year with her gorgeous Hit Parade foal.

Maybe that's because the 6yo final doesn't even start until 12:45PM.

Why didn't he pass? Is he sound? Is he rideable? Is he showable? Does he need some kind of maintenance? If so, is it expensive, difficult, time consuming or not? Then, how much do you want him. Make...

One good clue that you're ready to move up is if you start consistently getting scores in the 70's at Training 3 & 4.

I assume that's a typo and you meant ISR??? The ISR arm of the ISR/OLNA certainly does NOT just take any horse. They will take 'off brands' if that's what you are referring to - approved/registered...

Brentina was a roarer, was surgically corrected and already has a foal or 2 on the ground and, AFAIK, has been rebred once or twice. I guess none of you would take a chance on her foals then.

They judge against a standard, not your riding level.

Not the malleolus, but the ulna. Every time I put my arm down on something I went through the roof! I asked if they could take out the plate (long) and 8 screws. They said, "Well, let's see. First...

First off, how old is the horse, and have you seen the walk with the horse turned loose? If it is a young horse, the walk may deteriorate a bit when the horse is relatively green. If the horse has a...

Ahhh, but what happens if she doesn't get her purchase price back and there in no profit to split?

Also, if you want to run a fridge 24/7, you're probably going to have to have some kind of storage device as there would be no power generated during the hours the sun isn't out. That is very likely...

Ummmmm, I think you're overreacting a little bit here!

I can't imagine waiting 10 minutes per tick to get them off after you've been out in the weeds.

Just grip them gently between thumb and...

I've stayed at the Best Western Crossroads in Zions Crossroads several times (read repeat customer) and really liked it. The now have an IHOP right across the parking lot with good food. It's really...

Hmmmmmm. You would prefer something that could go prelim or higher, you're looking at a lower level horse you could bring along, and a 2 yo TB who looks veeeerrrrrryyyyyyy questionable in the pics. I...

Did she get a chance to see the foal lying dead, to be with it for a while and get a chance to acknowledge that the foal had died? If not, she probably doesn't understand what happened to her foal,...

Maryana, that just sucks!! I'm so sorry. I had a 10 month old filly with a broken elbow - not nearly as serious as your colt with the torn tendons, but she is now an Elite Mare Candidate and passed...

And some of the people bashing Toto here have to remember that the halt at GP is not scored by itself, as a movement, like it is for them at Training Level. It is part of a group of movements at GP.

Oh no, Lesley, not you too!

Bernie, if they're going in around the shoulder/chest area, they're probably going for the vena cava. Not to worry about small veins there.

Absolutely gorgeous. I saw a gorgeous, athletic filly by him out of a GP Hanoverian mare the other day. I saw him (UB40) at a show last month and met him in person and have already talked to Meghan...
