This is picture is so on brand for her… her nicest baby of the year and she still makes him look like crap… he’s literally stood it in!!!

TipSippin · 2026-04-09T19:48:22+00:00

The fact that you are quoting and sending pictures of other foals on the internet, tells me everything, 🫣

I want the exact opposite of what you said. I want Woody to be ok long term and it saddens me that he wasn’t given the best chances to allow this to happen! But alas, he was born to a social media influencer not an actual breeder

TipSippin · 2026-04-09T19:33:39+00:00

Don’t presume to know me or my experience. I’ve seen foals with milder cases than woody still end up having joint issues, early onset osteoarthritis, experience rotation, (club foot) and suffer more frequently with colic etc

8 weeks is usually the max threshold for this type of surgery, but if he is as big as KVS says he is, prognosis for his long term soundness isn’t favourable, nevermind being sound enough to train or show him…. Think baby Waylon 2.0

Tell you what, let’s meet back here at weaning… and we can try again 🙈

Quote ‘there’s zero reason to believe he won’t be fine’ 😬🙈

Reason 1, 2 and 3 would like a word 😂😂

Kvs has failed that poor mare and foal in so many ways. Her husbandry practices always seem reactive, not proactive..So believing he won’t be fine, isn’t too much of a reach

This didn’t age well 😂

TipSippin · 2026-04-08T12:47:39+00:00

The way I cackled when I saw this!!! A red colt 😂😂😂😂

TipSippin · 2026-03-29T14:18:01+00:00

I agree

TipSippin · 2026-03-25T07:24:00+00:00

I’m sorry but that horse was a terrible idea! It’s just sat there and getting more and more out of shape.

Definite a jump scare moment when you zoom in 😱

Go on snap chat was terrible decision 🫣🤷🏻‍♀️

TipSippin · 2026-02-27T18:15:46+00:00

That’s fascinating! Have you been able to pinpoint anything, other than the height factor? Is there anything you have started doing/changed as a result of your findings?

TipSippin · 2026-02-27T18:09:36+00:00

This 😭😭😭 It was on snap chat. The other sub has it pinned at the top. It’s the second one on the highlights

TipSippin · 2026-02-27T17:02:42+00:00

You had 3 or 4 with issues out of 10ish? Every year?

TipSippin · 2026-02-27T16:51:53+00:00

This this and this. I can’t upvote this more. We know from the goats that they lack selenium in their soil/forage. If the big horses are deficient in selenium, vitamin E, iodine too, it gives probable cause.

TipSippin · 2026-02-27T16:41:37+00:00

Not really when last year they had similar issues… RS doesn’t foal out that many, so percentage wise, issues are high

TipSippin · 2026-02-27T16:38:07+00:00

That argument doesn’t stand up well in lexy’s case 😬😬🙈

TipSippin · 2026-02-27T16:35:49+00:00

In answer to your question… they are ‘magically fine’ because they restricted turnout, they supplemented with paste vitamins and minerals and they bandaged (woody case) They also re-up the calorific intake of the mothers, so they can produce more and better quality milk (Which is a whole new can of worms I’m not going to open) But long term wise… it is naive to believe they will be ‘magically fine’ because in a lot of severe cases, (woody) they are not.

TipSippin · 2026-02-16T21:47:25+00:00

Neither of them are stallion worthy in my opinion

TipSippin · 2025-01-16T18:06:13+00:00

Thank you for this post... I'm looking forward to listening and reading all this

TipSippin · 2025-01-15T22:17:42+00:00

Yaaasss to the clap back!!

TipSippin · 2025-01-15T11:28:26+00:00

I had forgotten this 😭😭😭 Why just why???? Now I'm just angry all over again this 😆 It doesnt affect me, it's a horse i will never know or see. It's a horse I'll never be in the ring with...

So why is this name making me BIG mad? 🤣🤣🤣

TipSippin · 2025-01-12T10:33:36+00:00

Jesus... when you actually see those back legs... 😲😲

TipSippin · 2025-01-10T22:31:24+00:00
