All paint owners have to do is buy a "Horses for dummies book like I did:')

I dont know why she disliked him so much. It was from the word go. She has never acted like that and didnt after he had gone.
We went and got an old halter quickly to put on her and held her steady. I also believe she has dropped. She has changed shape today from yesterday.
My trainer has just called to find out what the vet said and he was surprised he didnt do an internal. He was even more surprised that Sugar kicked and acted up, like i have said..she doesnt EVER do that!

"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure"

I think you posted that in the wrong thread. You might want to try the Nuke Irag thread.

Fabulous.... so her behavior is personal against the vet.... well, even more reason to request the father if he's needed during this birth. More than likely Sugar knew he was both foreign to her and afraid of her, and she took advantage of that to get him to leave her alone.

Just got back from lunch, huh?

There is a really good joke on that "nuke I-raG" comment, but I don't want to gross anybody out.

I'll try to remember to take one of Belle, if you have the room for that many. I'll for sure get one if she's pregnant and I bring her home:), otherwise I may forget....you know me:)

When you said, you didn't have a "headstall", I thought the same thing as duchess, make a war bridle, if you do not have a halter. I cannot see the pics here at work, so I am glad Duchess said something about the halter, before I defended the vet.

An Appaloosa mare that we had, had edema. It started between her front legs all the way back. After she foaled, the edema did go down. But, she did retain part of the placenta, and it caused an infection. She recovered, the edema didn't cause the retention, so don't be concerned that this will happen.

It was surprising. My trainer was as surprised too! She is so good natured and has only ever tried to kick him the once when he touched her udder the other day, other than that she is as sweet and eay going as a horse can be. She is great with the children too.
If i need a vet I think I will request the father.

Sorry fer butting into the conversation about paints, but.....I have a question.

Is it true that if you have a paint with 'ermine spots' on her, it's an indication that she carries the 'paint gene' herself, and will throw color?(no matter WHAT Daddy is?)

OK, here's some pictures of my ride yesterday. Like I said pretty boring. Nothing much but winter dead trees and dirt trail, other then Grizzly running ahead.

This is looking down at our place from the hill behind us.

Creek is full again

Our house from the trail that runs up the side of our pasture to the woods where I ride.

Hair, this is for you. This is looking thru raw land. Land that hasn't been cleared, stays pretty open of undergrowth.

And finally the new horse my son got this past weekend.
