Can you send the mares names?

Why would anyone flame you for wanting to give an older mare a good home? Good luck. I have been amazed at how many people will jump on someone else for looking for something that they can't find. Also, if somebody publicly offers an old stakesproducing mare cheap, often they will get comments like...

I almost hate to post due to some members flame-from-nowhere attitude but here goes: I am looking for an inexpensive older class-producing mare in the central KY area. She will have a permanent home and I am willing to stay in touch with previous owners if they wish to keep track of her. Feel free t...

I got my 2006 April foals broke in December, back in real training in May and had one win in first start last week.

Saturday was a day from hell. Had an idiot pass our horse trailer on the left as we were turning left into the driveway and about take the front off the truck. Then had to load horses, one of which jumped on the handler and pulled his shoulder out of socket. Later in the day they had to turn the tra...

The difference between your argument and this situation is that the act of sex between two horses without human supervision is the action being considered potentially abuse or neglect. I'm sorry my phrasing left that unclear. It is not abuse or neglect for the bulls in the next field to breed their ...

I'm going to try one more time to describe the issue with this situation. There is no statute in this area that says pasture breeding is illegal. The AC officer witnessed the horses pasture breeding and tried to classify it as either abuse or neglect because the stallion was loose in the field with ...

Bunty, your interpretation has never been used to my knowledge. I have had horses pasture breed in that same field for years. The act of sex between animals at the time of their choosing being considered either abuse or neglect is a hell of a stretch. Cattle are allowed to pasture breed in the next ...

No, the issue in this case is not "irresponsible breeding". This is a well-bred stakes siring stallion breeding to proven producers, all in good health and weight. They are not accidentally together. The goal is for him to impregnate them. The issue was not that they were breeding it was that he was...

Really no mystery there, I was not home at the time. I have confirmed with AC that this was an AC officer. The stupidity here is that allowing a stallion to have herd companionship and to breed based on mare receptivity is now potentially a chargeable offense in central KY , I guess because there wa...

The neighbors all have my number in order to contact me if they see anything wrong so I believe the neighbor in question dialed my number and handed the officer the phone when the officer came knocking. I don't believe that it was a prank call.

Quite honestly, I believe the officer was fishing for me to sign the horses over to AC. Which I found highly offensive for multiple reasons including that they are in very good condition and are not in the least bit abused or neglected and the majority were extreme problem cases to begin with so it'...

I don't have a good response other than it's pathetic. As I told the AC officer, if you were calling to tell me that one had been wounded and needed immediate vet care, I would be thanking you but to have you call me from a neighbor's phone on my cell phone to harass me over a stallion breeding a ma...

"Breaking down" is the standard terminology for a mare's behavior when she is asking a stallion to breed her. The two horses are following normal patterns of breeding behavior and this stallion is VERY lazy about penetration and will rarely do more than mount a mare. I've had to take a couple mares ...

I know there was a discussion about the pros and cons of pasture breeding earlier this year so I tried to find it and add this but couldn't find it. But as a sign of what the world is coming to: I have a stallion turned out with some mares. Been turned out together for months, have had other stallio...
