    Anyone familiar with Pyrenean Mastiffs?

    My sister who lives in Spain has had several. She currently has a male that is one of the biggest dogs I have ever seen. She has used the same breeder for 25 years. They have some type of breed standard evaluation in Spain, and her dogs always do well.

    TB owners?.. not TBs but appys and they are home! update 4/11 NEW PICS

    Thoroughbreds have usually had lots of handling...sales, routine farrier/vet, shipping to race, and usually a fairly regimented daily routine. They go to the race track, but they lack turnout for the most part. The biggest issue when letting a thouroughbred down is a safe, small paddock, and...

    Saddle sizes

    The saddle needs to fit you, your horse and your discipline...a cutting saddle won't do for roping. Have someone help you with fit, and then only buy a saddle that can be returned if it doesn't fit either you or the horse correctly. Personally, I'd rather have a used handmade saddle, than a new...

    I have three girls, two reg. jerseys and a jersey/guernsey cross. They all calved this year with little or no help, but there is a huge difference in the mik. The cross puts a yellow cream line on the milk that is out of this world. The other two have much less cream that is not as golden...
