13.01.2022 Some rainy day breeding wisdom... worth the read "Inheritance Ignored" By Robert M. Miller, D.V.M. ... "It’s a shame," I said to Walt, "Her conformation’s filled with fault. Her head is plain. Her neck is ewe. Her back is long. Her tail askew. Her shoulder straight, back at the knees; She toes out in front, you’ll notice please. Offset cannons and splints you see. This mare, I fear, will never be A racing prospect, or good for show; Brittle feet with seedy toe. Four years old, already lame, In both forelegs, in back the same. Problems to worsen eventually, because she’s built inadequately. Her hip is short, her croup is low. The right fore tendon’s begun to bow. She cribs, you know, and lolls her tongue. Too many vices in a mare so young. And when she’s worked to desperation, she wheezes with each respiration. Her teeth are bad, she overbites. With other mares she always fights. When she trots she’ll weave and bobble, Her hind end has a definite wobble. Now melanoma in horses gray, is very commonplace I’d say. But these masses, ‘neath her tail are bad. In a mare so young it makes me sad. I hate to bear such tragic news; you might as well just pull her shoes. And stop her training as of now, you cannot ride her anyhow." Walt looked at me and then replied, "The guy who sold her surely lied. He told me that she was so great, and I so eager, could hardly wait, To load her up and take her home, to pay for her, make her my own. Well, no matter," said Walt aloud, "she’ll make a broadmare fine and proud. We’ll breed her soon and get repaid, for the investment that I made. I know a stallion with a fee so low, he’s laid up for a year or so. He’s got navicular disease they say, but his stud fee I guess I’ll pay, And raise a foal so this young mare, will pay her way and earn her fare. Don’t you agree, Doc, with my plan?" I answered him.... I told the man: "Like begets like. You’ve heard that said? This foal you’re planning, in your head, Is good for business-mine, I mean, Foals like this, I have seen, Are useful to support a vet. Because of many defects, yet, Our voice is often heard alone, warning breeders, Do not condone The breeding of inferior sire, To inferior mare if you desire To produce foals to improve the breed. BREED best to best, that’s all you need. Now listen you breeders of puppy dogs, and cats and sheep and cows and hogs, For your own species just change the name, The principles are still the same. Like begets like. It’s in the genes, controlled by DNA it seems. BREED best to best, it’s your only chance, for offspring that will the BREED enhance.

09.01.2022 Congratulations Toni and Confetti! We couldn’t be happier for you

08.01.2022 RED BAG DELIVERY Red bag delivery - or more specifically, the premature separation of the placenta from the uterine wall - is a serious foaling emergency that all horse breeders should be educated on. A red bag delivery occurs when the outer lining of the placenta detaches from the uterine wall and fails to rupture at the cervical star during delivery. Instead of the large amount of allantoic fluid releasing through this rupture (waters breaking), the encased foal ...is left at high risk of hypoxia, asphyxiation and consequently, death. The name ‘red bag’ was given due to the bright red outer lining of the placenta which becomes visible during the initial stages of the mare’s labour. If this occurs during your mare’s labour process the placental membrane needs to be opened immediately and the foal must be delivered as soon as possible. Due to the deprivation of oxygen VETERINARY ASSISTANCE should be promptly called upon. The images below show the difference between the beginning stages of a normal foaling and a red bag delivery. Please share with your friends to promote awareness of this emergency
