Our deepest condolances go out to Holly Kovach of Ironhorse Farm and Lindsay Schuell on the loss of the beautiful...

I do believe that my first post would leave some to believe that I tend to think only warmbloods have these good manners. Not true. I've had warmblood stallions, TB stallions, and handled Arabian...

Prodomus - no idea what you're talking about, since I've worked in a number of European barns and never once was any filly, mare, colt or stallion treated roughly. They're handled correctly and...

Saw the Celle State stallions up close and personal in their stables at Spruce Meadows.

Hochadel, Don Henrico, Rotspon, Royal Blend, Londonderry, Rascalino, Lizitant, Silberschmied. In all their...

This is also VERY true.

Someone I knew was handling her stallion in his stall. Something made him wig out and he went up in the air and then booted out his hind leg sideways. He nailed her in...

i happen to agree with this post too. We had Labradors and even a "family" dog can be aggressive. A dog is a dog is a dog. Some have strong prey instincts. I am of the firm belief that 95% of dog...

You do need prophylactic antibiotics.

Unless you are trained as a nurse and surgeon and employed the scrubbing techniques required for a sterile surgical scrub in which case you might take a wait...

That's really what it's all about, right? One good choice at a time.

Darlyn, your weight loss is amazing. Congratulations!! Have you tried a baked potato with cottage cheese and broccoli? ...

As in, what secrets do you use for calorie control during those days when your appetite feels nonstop? Also share your secrets for weight loss (besides the obligatory activity). We also know the...

Altamont, I ran into that situation myself. Someone contacted me about a mare I had "for sale"... which puzzled me, since I didn't have a mare for sale. Turns out, it wasn't me posting the horse at...

“You have to breed 100 horses a year to get two good horses.”

This statement is BULLS$$T.

You take a top quality champion stallion with a top quality champion mare who both are proven to...

YES.

Munchausen syndrome is someone who believes so strongly they have a disease, they will deliberately inflict self-injury in order to receive medical attention for their perceived disease.

Maybe your grandmother put them in the safe for you?

No offense taken. It's a good learning tool/opportunity. :)

Okay, before we jump all over Werther for NOT being W but rather F, let's consider that ALL W stallions descend directly from the old F line.

W line came on in the early 1950/1960's.
...

This I have to agree with. I have ridden 3 "W" line horses and all were most definitely NOT ammy rides. It's not that their brains were hot or unpredictable or that they had screws loose. They...

Anybody who hasn't smudged just a wee teeniest bit on their taxes, or decided not to correct the cashier when she gave you wrong change, or never ran a red light, or never drove their auto faster...

FWIW, I find it interesting that I hear of far fewer tying problems in the western world than I do in the English world. Just think that's kinda interesting. Most western folks have a far different...

Well, I'm with Thomas on this one.

Go back to the beginning and slow things down.

Your horse has only been backed for 2 weeks. You can expect the unexpected most definitely for at least...

I start my process when they're really young babies. It begins with halter training and the very basics with learning to give to pressure. When they learn to lead they might pull a bit on the lead...

I think mare spaying should be done far more frequently than it actually is, except I guess cost is a factor. For many mares their cycles are a constant source of misery for them, and for those...

Well, I discussed this with my vet. There are 2 brands out, one is live vaccine and this is the Prevenile that was recalled. The other is the Fort Dodge Innovator killed virus brand and it is safe...

ahhh hohohoho... but this is a chestnut mare and you KNOW you can't fool a redhead! If I pretend she sees right through me. It's hopeless to try, though try I might. LOL :lol:

Hence my (vet's words)..... considering the man has been on the run nonstop day and night for the last 2 weeks with events going on at Spruce Meadows, breeding, foaling out, etc., etc. I think he is...

Mare has produced a gorgeous CL (vet's words) right on time, semen is on the way to the plane as we speak and will land here in a few hours. I will go pick it up and drop at vet's. Hubby did a...
