I am a considering a free broodmare lease for my AHS mare this year. Things in my world aren't conducive to me working her under saddle, so she is just sitting in my parents' front yard - which makes...

It's getting tough to find hay in our area, and our hay guys are all out - we're getting nervous. Does anybody know of someone in SE Wisconsin or N. Illinois with grass hay or a grass/alfalfa mix? ...

My mare's registered name is ok (I can deal with it), but her barn name is Doobie - like the illegal kind. We've tried to change it, but just can't seem to stick with anything. She is a kind of...

Great photos! What a little rider! I too had an evil spotted (although much larger spots) pony as a kid. He was a little bronc horse, but gave me a great seat and really helped me improve my...

Oooh, if you guys haven't yet done so, go onto the FarmTown forums and look for any of the "Check out my farm" threads. People will post images of their flipping incredible farms. I was feeling...

I'm sure it was very frightening while it was happening, but what an image the whole scenario makes. I had to laugh! Glad everything turned out ok and you, despite your non-Lassie, abandoner of a...

ADDICTED - I'm a level 28, almost a level 29. It's sad, but I have been known to modify my day around harvesting (or call and have someone sign in and harvest for me) :no:

My mom and I share six (between two households), and when you add in my mom's GSD and Golden, that makes eight. Three are 12 months or younger, and the four year old girl is pure wildness, so it can...

My mare had a choke incident (before I got her) I believe shortly after she was weaned - I would have to dig out her medical records to be sure. She is now 8 and as healthy as a...well... horse.

Unfortunately, YES! If you come and drive by our place right now, you'll see a large mare with no tail and two minis without tails. We thought the young mini was de-tailing everyone, but then his...

If the dog is a rescue and not from a breeder, great. But, please do not refer to him as a Brat. Refer to him as what he is, a Boston/Rat Terrier mix. If someone sees your cute dog, wonders what...

Oh, and I researched the "Brat Terrier", and they can look like either a rat or a Boston. In terms of temperament, one person had two and said that one acted like a rat terrier, and the other like a...

We have two minis in with an OTTB and my Hano mare, and they get along great. They've lived together for several years and even helped raise my Hano mare's filly in 2007 (mare actually nursed her...

IMHO, breeders and purchasers who support the phenomenon of designer "breeds" should be ashamed of themselves. If somebody wants a mixed breed dog, go and look at the millions of dogs in the...

I raised a pet squirrel, named Bug, in high school. We bottle fed him and he thrived. We eventually took our old ferret cage outside on the back porch and left it open. He would run free during...

My mare and her filly eventually went out with my gelding and my mom's two minis. We waited until she was old enough and sure enough on her feet to get out of the way if needed. We were mainly...

I always thought it was Saw-ger-tees, but I could be totally misinformed.

You should borrow a few small terriers and squeeze them up there :). But then you do have to worry about how to get the dead rats out b/f they get smelly.

Boy, isn't he a cute little stinker. Get him before I decide to!!

I'm going to the Chicago show on Wednesday! Can't wait!!!

I remember listening to a piece on NPR about a couple that cloned their beloved bull elephant late in his life, so his DNA was aged. His clone lived a shockingly short life (like 7 or 8 years -...

No, for the most part it is not painful. The hair that is being stripped out is dead hair. There are some areas on the dog that are more sensitive. I show terriers, so the stripping on them gets a...

Just be aware that they need a VERY experienced hand.

Another plug for the GSD, even though they're not entirely what you're . We've had two (our oldest just passed away two weeks ago at almost 14). Our youngest, Garin, is four, American-bred, but...

My grey mare's color after shedding her baby coat was VERY dark as well - I think only a little bit of grey mixed in. She had dark legs and a dark mane and tail. She has been greying out VERY...
