I am not a breeder, but I appreciate and value good bloodlines.

I looked at a young horse last year who was represented as a unregistered WB/TB cross. He LOOKED just like a young TB not a WB/TB...

I'm a little late to the thread, but thought I would put a plug in for Mid-Atlantic Horse Rescue in Chesapeake City, MD. Bev and Ginny get their horses from New Holland. They give them the let down...

Does anyone know if/when it will be rebroadcast? I missed both Saturday and Sunday. :(

Have you tried Delwood Trailer Sales in Dover, DE?

They usually have a pretty big selection of trailers for sale.

Also, "downstate" we have a publication called "The Guide" - it's on-line -...

If you want to do rated hunters on a regular basis, then don't come to the Eastern Shore of MD.

Ocean City, MD is about 3 hours from the USEF shows. There is a local horse show association that...

My barn cat doesn't catch mice. She barely even plays with them. So, when the mice got real bad this summer, I tried a couple of things. Tried the glue traps (don't waste your money), tried the...

Of my two that are shedding - one is NOT blanketed at all. The other is and he has not been body clipped.

Yes. Not a full blown shed yet.

The winter equinox is almost upon us. The evenings ARE getting longer (by a minute every two or three days).

The State of Delaware updated its' website sometime after 8 a.m. this morning. They have an update dated 12/12/08 and one dated 12/17/08. If you are interested, please read both updates. There IS...

Thank you meaty ogre for posting those two links.

Thank you also for echoing my feelings about how the State of Delaware is handling/responding to the situation.

JSwan - I know you would like...

While I don't see an update on the State of Delaware's website as of 1:45 p.m. 12/15/08, there is an article posted (dated 12/12/08) on www.wgmd.com regarding additional testing of horses in the barn...

laurierace - what do they identify as frequent vacination? I personally vax 2x per year for Rhino/Flu. The only time I did more often was when DE had their crazy requirment in place a couple of...

I may be in the minority here, but I DO feel that informing the public about a STATE-ORDERED quarantine is in the best interest of the population. I also feel that knowing the location of that...

Easy Rider Stable - The Wilmington News Journal article that was linked by meaty ogre has the horses name and identifies the facility as Dovington. The horse last raced in PA on Nov. 24th.

From...

meaty ogre - thanks for posting that link.

So, the barn at Dovington wasn't quarantined until Saturday. The horse first showed symptoms on Wednesday and was euthanized on Sunday. How many people...

Easy Rider Stable - I hope she likes the mud! It's going to be a wet night. Let us know how she does.

If you find out the details, please let us know or PM those of us who would like to know. ...

I do understand that a person(s) privacy is important, but at the same time I think that we do have some need to have the information regarding the location/farm that is involved.

The race horses...

Articles are on www.wgmd.com and www.wboc.com

Sorry - I am not that computer savy and am not sure how to link to the articles.

I am once again extremely disappointed in the way that the State...

Thank you all for your thoughts.

I have never fed Purina to the horses. DH feeds his performance dogs Purina Pro Plan though and they do super on it. If I were to switch over to Purina - we...

Feed Gurus - can you help a little please? I love feeding a pelleted feed as I can put hot/warm water on it to break it down a little. Horses love it, too.

How do the Purina Strategy and Legends...

5 - I don't see any mention in the original post about the horse getting lathered up coming home (only going to its' destination) - just that it doesn't want to load coming home.

You could also try doing short trips (around the block) with the end destination being home. Do a few of these in between your regular trips. She may be getting lathered due to the aniticipation of...

I've fed it as a treat before.

My guys also love sweet potatoes. Our friends with gardens will give us their "culls" and my horses get them as treats.

I had a horse who LOVED radishes (of all...

I have some pretty major bunions, too.

There are three areas they may operate depending on the degree of rotation. I joked with my podiatrist that if I was a horse, I probably would have been put...
