I think that if she's a good mare and you're breeding for yourself to keep, go for it.

The problem is probably going to be when/if you try to sell. There is not much of a market for foals out of...

- Staying is her choice. I realize she cares for the horse, but he does not belong to her.

- Why does the dog thing matter? It has nothing to do with her.

- If no one cares about the horses...

I use alfalfa pellets, but honestly the amount is so small I don't think it matters, unless your horse is sensitive to alfalfa. I love the Standlee brand at TSC. Very high quality and no dust. And I...

Another good, soy free option is a scoop of multivitamin (pelleted is easiest) mixed in a small amount of hay pellets (and I add in a handful of flax or rice bran for shine). SmartPak EZ Keeper Grass...

I second (or third) Landkoenig.

I have seen three foals by him (all out of a Hol/Tb mare) that were really lovely and TALL. They all look to mature over 17 hands. The two year old filly is well...

My mare (a Saddlebred, BTW), has to have a really good connection and really be working over the back to get a good "down and around" (great quote) stretch. When we first started dressage, I found...

I'm not an expert by any means, but I like seeing De Niro, Rubinstein, and Rohdiamant as broodmare sires. I have seen a lot of excellent foals out of mares by them.

Something I've honestly been curious about for awhile, and I ask this simply because I don't know, not to start anymore fights (I don't have anything do do with either Oldenburg registry)...what...

I had a long reply that got eaten, but I also like ambry's posts.

FYI...food stamp allowance is roughly equal to $1 per person per day. Have you ever tried to feed youself on $1 a day? I doubt...

$325, located in Southern Indiana, about 10 minutes from downtown Louisville.

This includes all of the basics...daily turnout (private), hay, grain, stall cleaning 7 days a week (usually more than...

I have a mare who is on the hottish/sensitive side. Words of advice: don't fight them. You won't win. Lots of half halts work well, as noted above, and I also give my mare lots of walk breaks...

A little off topic, but why don't you want your cremello stallion bred to a cremello mare? Just curious.

I agree about Daddy Cool. He is a very neat stallion, and I would love to see more offspring.

Londonderry, Don Ricoss and Wallstreet Kid, who stands here in the US, are out of the same damline,...

Daddy Cool and Balou du Rouet come from the same damline, which I think is interesting when you compare the two. They are pretty similar, yet one is a jumper and the other is dressage. Both very...

I actually saw one episode of her show awhile ago. She seemed like an okay rider. If I remember correctly, she was cantering bareback (wearing a pair of really really short shorts that...

Re: the Anatolians...I have heard that they can be aggressive toward people. Unlike Pyr's, they were actually bred to go after people stealing stock, not just animals. I would stick with a Pyr, but...

I know a farm that had a blind mare that had multiple foals and never had any problems. They put a bell on the halter of the foal so that the dam knew where they were at most times. The mare...

I don't know if they stayed as they got older, but they looked as if they would. I believe railmom that posts here had a colt with a light tail by Pablo, and so did someone else that posted not long...

I've seen other Pablo babies with the same tail. It must be a trait of his.

Wow! Lots of really nice foals. My favorite is the Fidertanz filly. I would also be interested to know how you pick stallions for your mares (and how long that takes!).

Caitlin

Congrats! He really looks like a lovely stallion. I have always liked Donnerschwee, and it seems like he was kind of underused. Is Statesman going to be offered frozen here in the states?
...

In the news story, they only refer to Spink as the manager and trainer, not the owner ("the owner did not have the horse insured")...so, is that true, or did Doug give them that information?
...

I saw them earlier; cute filly. I really like Hotline.
