Nicole is both overjoyed and overwhelmed at the great news! As we speak we have more horses than stalls with one more mare to foal in the next couple of days....
Hi all - saw this in the on-line version of the North Bay Nugget (northern Ontario, 705 area code). Since my folks live there, I am curious if there is a...
Just for fun (because I like to ride bitless when I can. I went to Brubrachers harness and picked up one of the Naturehorse bitless bridles (its a cross under...
My mother's book about her ride from PQ to the BC shores on Zazy (unregistered) but obviously at least large-percentage Canadian blooded mare, was finally...
I agree--I use Dr Cooks Bitless BRidle 90% of the time and the horses really like it and also listen to it. ANd the beauty of it is that if a horse is...
Wow Phoebee, That is really something!! I will look for a copy and help her support her passion. Things have been hectic to say the least, working 6 days a...
Phoebe: That is so cool. I will be certain to get the book. Sounds like a great read. You must be so proud :) Sharon: This is something I could see you doing,...
The foaling stall was completed yesterday and Channel moved in late last night. My guess is she will foal this week-end. Quite large 12'x19' with 2 doors at...
Hi Michel. Our standing stalls are 4' x 11' with a manger at the head at floor level. The floor is limestone screenings with a rubber mat and a 1/2 on top - we...

Hi Michel, Our standing stalls are 5'by 10' including a 2 foot manger. It is open in the aisle at the back so basically the stalls are as long as the horses...
Phoebe, Thanks for letting us know of the book. I just checked the website of my local bookshop to check if they had it, and I hope they do, as she had been...

As a midwife, I am involved quite a lot with inductions of human labours when the pregnancies have gone overdue and we would prefer to have the babies born. I...
Hi Sheryl, It is strongly advised to let the pregnancy alone. The mare will deliver when it is time. It is the fetus' itself that initiates labour by the...
... deliver when it is time. > Sheryl ... Sheryl- I have to second what Deb has said. We were very worried about our mare Jena a couple of years ago because...
I agree with Tim's comment about secure tie and high side walls. Our side walls are 4 feet at the back half but the front half are bars that go all the way to...
Thanks for your replies. This particular mare owner isn't planning to induce. Her vet gave her the same advice you did, that some mares are pregnant for a...
Our mare Rose (Urfa) went 373 days for Soul-Man this year. It drove me nuts! I can't imagine the one Deb mentioned. That would be awful. I had the vet check...
