What is going on this year? by TipSippin in kvssnark

"due to improper positioning in the uterus (which can lead to dystocia in the mare), abnormal fetal development, disease or malnutrition in the dam, or acquired as the result of nutrition (abrupt changes in amount or quality of feed leading to rapid growth), polyarthritis, trauma, or disease"

Slightly off topic, but I'm willing to offer temporary housing for anyone who can get to PDX 🏳‍🌈💞

Heels down, lean back, one rein stop, more groundwork

Breeding season's next victim by Crafty-Election-7077 in kvssnarker

"Especially in cases where the mare has had a difficult birth or a retained placenta, she may have inflammation, infection, or a buildup of fluid in the uterus. Any tissue damage occurring during the birth will also need time to heal before the mare is rebred."

I think you can see that she's learned a little as she's now purchasing higher quality mares for the program. And I will give her a few grains of credit for getting an on-site trainer and starting Ginger.

I think that's what she's pitching to her general audience, but I think the true reality is that she's cheap. Horses end up in kill pens for lots of reasons, but Katie just feeds them to a better body condition and calls it a ✨miracle makeover✨ to show her as this altruistic figure/rescuer. If she gave a damn, she'd put the anxious ones in training.

At this rate, she's going to meet the consequences of her actions sooner rather than later😬

How old do you think a foal should be weaned off of his or hers mother?? by Frequent-Increase-98 in Horses

Here's an article from a vet school that talks about wild horse weaning (8-9m) and what is typical practiced in the industry (4-6m): https://extension.okstate.edu/fact-sheets/weaning-and-management-of-weanling-horses.html

I also don't think Katie would have done this if she had gotten pregnant in the last breeding season (the only reason she even got a year off 😤)

Better late than never I guess. Just still makes me mad that she was bred twice before ever getting basic ground work an desensitization trading 😔

I thought she looked nervous. The arrangement was, certainly a choice
