Just want to correct a few things... The mutated gene that causes TH does not affect only tibial development.  It actually is responsible for hind limb formation including the pelvic bones.  Looking back TH should have probably been named something else.  I've gotten TH affected calves that have...

Hello all, I hope that everyone had a great Holiday season!  We are all doing well here in Illinois, although it is unusually warm and I'm really wishing it would freeze I'm tired of the horses slopping around in mud.  With that said.... Just wanted to remind everyone of a few things.... First...

I am so truly sorry to hear of Red's passing.  She was one of the most kind, caring people I have known.  I had never met her face to face, but though e-mails she kept up to date on Turbo and my other horses.  I remember discussing how we always wanted  to have small birthday parties and buy...

Can I pretty please sit at table 7?  I'm not Dr. B but am not a bad stand in  ;D  (and  I will NOT be wearing a tube top)...  or I guess any table that won't have a problem with me throwing around the term semen sample while eating and not think anything about it (I get into trouble with hubby...

Hey Doc, Thanks for asking.  She's doing great, growing like a weed.  They came to look at her, loved her and want me to call them as soon as she's weaned to discuss a price.  I'm glad this way I get a bit of repreve, I hate the business aspect of this considering I really didn't plan on selling...

Linnette -  Let me see if I can help... There are two mutations that can cause TH.  One labeled the "Improver mutation" one the "Outcast mutation".  We found this vital info out when we were validating the test (we only sequence a few individuals and then test all the other animals in the...

Hey Knabe!  Nope no relation to PHA, not same chromosome nor no known gene-gene interaction.  You know how papers go, still haven't got the green light to publish TH and it'll be out long before we can publish the PHA one.  You'll probably be waiting quite awhile for it I'm afraid.  I did find...

Thank you!  So is your gelding pretty calm?  I was just wondering as my mare is actually pretty hot, and I figured that FG might put some brains into a colt.  I am secretly hoping that I can't sell her, so I can ride her...is that so bad (hubby would just shoot me)... (lol)  I'm jealous...let me...

Thanks everyone...wow you guys are great at thinking up names!  You'd think since I had a year to think about it I could have come up with something.  kanshow-don't worry it'll come when you least expect it!  I didn't think my mare's bag was quite big enough, and she never waxed!  I finally...

Thanks Doc, I loved Frenchmans Guy, I've been wanting one for a long time.  Unfortunately I've already got someone coming on Sunday to look at her to buy her.  Have a few more people call about her already too.  Those are some nice names I really like #1 and #3 a lot. 

Thanks!  I'm trying to decide if the white on her face looks like anything, I was never any good at that game in school  (lol)

Just wanted to post some pictures of the new baby!  She came this morning about 1 a.m.  I woke up to my heeler howling, figured it was coyotes, open the window to yell at him and heard something banging around.  I thought Turbo had gotten caught in the fence (he already had stitches this week). ...

As far as I know clones are not elgible for registration and neither are offspring, at least you can't in QH and I'm assuming the Jockey Club will not allow it either.  All breedings are supposed to be live cover for them, you can't even AI.  AQHA just approved the ET registration guidelines as...

Hubby went to Murray State and has a degree in Ag-Business.  He LOVED the school and would do it again in and instant.  He loved it down there, liked all the professors and really liked that smallness I guess of the school.  I did my undergrad here at U of I and wished that I would have had that...

I saw it too and thought it was pretty bad.  Hubby farms maybe a little more than 2,000 acres with his dad, so it's comparable to my situation.  Yeah the tanned part I don't get, if he's seriously working that many acres with that cabless tractor then he's probably still planting in July so...

No idea if there is a link, biologically it could...large heart..blood pumping faster harder...blood vessels in lungs rupture...,  I know that it affects a lot of TBs, some QH but not as many.  I didn't know that they banned Lasix at Belmont.  I know that we went to the tracks in Indy for a tour...

AHH... a topic near and dear to my heart  ;D If any of you guys have ESPN classic, they are doing an hour special every day this week to a triple crown winner.  Monday was Citation, last night was Secretariat, today is Affirmed I think.  I'm thinking it's on about 7 p.m. or so (thank goodness...

I couldn't believe how long she baked the colt last year, she went 376 days.  She was a maiden so I had a friend foal her out for me since he was much more experienced than I was.  I had to dig out the vet bills to see the date she was bred a few times at the end because I don't think he...

She's due about May 12 or so.  I hope that she doesn't go a month late like she did last year, I'll seriously be lacking some sleep.  Actually I'm much more nervous this time around.  She's foaling at my house this year, so I'm one nervous foal watcher  ;D  She's started to bag up already, I...

I feel for you Red, I'm fighting the same thing right now.  It seems like I'm never without a stuffy nose or watery eyes, multiple sinus infections, headaches, etc...  I finally was in so much pain a few months ago went to the dr.  I was on 2 antibiotics, Claritin D, and Flonase.  That helped me...
