Hi guys In March I purchased a PRE (Andalusian) mare. She came with papers for USPREA and I wanted to transfer the ownership. I filled out the online form and paid a hefty amount. I just recieved a call and an email that I need a breeder code and that's another $295 US (which is close to 500 CAD). ...

Best treatment for ringworm is decolourised iodine dabbed onto the area several times a day or an all over iodine type wash like Vetadine. Ringworm is a fungus which is killed by iodine, so even horse type Vetadine wash is OK at a pinch but just keep an eye on your skin for drying out or reacting. Y...

Very cute! You know you can make their horns less sharp and ouchy by getting your horse hoof rasp and running it over the points so that they are rounded off. A wee tip from someone who knows what it feels like to be stabbed in the chest by many baby goats! :lol: I've now sold off all my goats apart...

I can fix most things with baling twine, #8 fence wire, cable ties and a few fencing staples! :lol: 8-) Seriously though I can fix wire and electric fencing, repair and modify our farm water systems, and I do a bit of woodwork around the farm fixing the fences and building new ones. I can repair and...

What happened to its leg? Broken or are you stretching the tendons? She fell down a flight of stairs (we think her brother may have pushed her) and dislocated her shoulder. She had to go to UCDavis to get put back together. Interesting about the stretching. I didn't know baby goats needed their ten...

Behold! A goat in her natural habitat. :lol: :lol: 12374851_10207376302000268_3942530094822465067_o.jpg Not to steal Viscountessleftfield's thunder or anything. Aww it's cute! What happened to its leg? Broken or are you stretching the tendons? I found the cardboard tubes that plastic wrap or paper ...

:lol: Just to rub it in...our cats don't do any of those things. :lol: :lol: :lol: :twisted: But, you have a broken goat, so Scrunch probably makes up for it. OMFG. She is currently pushing my chair all over the room rubbing her horns...and she gave me a heart attack this morning by jumping off the...

Mine are angels. :roll: zorrosm.jpg Except when they do this... temptingfate.jpg cables.jpg Zorro likes to cuddle on my lap especially when I am making something like a shawl. The rest of the time he terrorizes poor Karma [the Bengal]. Karma has a "thing" for cables. Especially charger cab...

Beautiful yarn Valerie!

I'm waiting for 4 fleeces to come back from carding, only another 45 or so to go....!

Those sheep are amazing- I love that spotted ram. His horns are impressive! I am a fan of heritage breed sheep, and I suppose yours are a "heritage" as it gets :) And Merino soft fleece is a lovely bonus. The Churro sheep (Navajo heritage breed) fleeces tend to be a bit harsher in the han...

The video is from Sweden (says the Svenska flicka). Do goats really scream like humans? I'm a city dweller so no goats for me, although I do "buy" a goat every year from Heifer International. yes goats can make some pretty weird sounds, I have a couple of screamers in my mob at the moment...

I now have about 50 fleeces to process this year from my Arapawa sheep! I will be selling off quite a few I think but I have some off being carded at the moment for the next couple of projects. :lol: Next year we will have even more...... :roll: as I am keeping about 9 or 10 ewe lambs from this year...

Probably a bit too far away for me as I'm in New Zealand! I started spinning this year to have something to do with all my Arapawa sheep fleeces. [Arapawas are rare NZ coloured sheep breed]. I'm enjoying it a lot now I have a decent wheel to work on, the previous one was an animal which kept trying ...

Wow! A lovely Kringler has sent me a fantastic present which is just what I wanted!! A fabulously well balanced carbon fibre supported spindle to help feed my spinning and handcraft obsession! These are great for spinning very fine fibres like silk, alpaca and ultra fine wool and this one is so easy...

PREs and partbred Spanish here. <3

Kringle gift on its way!

Mine is more a class of 2014 with this one who is coming up to a year in age now. :lol: She is a PRE filly from 2 Spanish imports of impeccable breeding and has been with us for a few weeks now and is settling in nicely with one of my other youngsters. FB_IMG_1427352525065.jpg She's going to be a bi...

Here are a couple of my young PRE stallion Zeus taken at a recent show. He's a bit of a clown and it was only his 3rd show so he was there just for a learning experience and he was rather scruffy as I didn't get the chance to tidy him up much before he went in the ring as we were rushed for time. He...

You aren't alone Sue. My 4yo PRE stallion is not broken in yet and I am taking him very slowly. He has had several show outings in-hand in the breed ring and is being a nice well behaved young man which is just how we want him to be! I'll put up a photo once the photographer sends through the latest...

kid75.jpg Kid #75 born last week, she is a tiny wee kid to a tiny wee goat from last years kids - she was not supposed to get in kid this season but the goat had other ideas.... :shock: naughty lambs.jpg Some of my Arapawa lambs from this year, lots of interesting colours and patterns there! The pa...

I like to take Nutbars along as a snack while doing a half day or less showing or riding etc as a handy quick fix for hunger and as an energy boost. - it's a type of muesli bar we have here with lots of nuts, dried fruit and chocolate... one can never have too much dark chocolate :lol: I usually pac...

You could always download The Gimp and use it to tweak your photo sizes.

Its free and is nearly as good as Photoshop for basic image manipulation.

Baroque you are definitely on my list. I have your questionnaire, you should have received the form fill email and the email from today. The auto firm fill confirmation can sometimes be wonky, I've heard from a few people that it has gone missing, but you were absolutely included in the today's ema...

I haven't heard from you yet, I filled my form in on Friday before I posted, and emailed you yesterday as instructed. Hope you are ok.

ok I've done the form....

I also have about 60ish Arapawa sheep. These are a rare breed of feral sheep which were left to run wild on an island with no intervention from man for about 250 years. They are more like goats to handle, very intelligent, hardy and I find them lots of fun. Their nearest genetic relatives are Gulf c...

I am now down to 15 goats. Last year I had 70+ Boers. They are interesting animals to keep and a lot of fun.

Baroque here from MiddleEarth - also ex udbb. I've been a bit erratic on there lately mainly due to lack of time. I breed Spanish horses, train in classical dressage and also enjoy Working Equitation with my horses. In my spare time (what's that?) I also breed rare coloured sheep and run a small far...
