That is an awesome pic! My one gelding will sometimes let me curl up with him in his stall but I've never seen any of ours lay down outside, much less let me approach them that way.

Today, we've talked mostly about a teacher/parent issue and homeschooling ;~D We're mostly horses, but lots of things come up here and there too in the course of a day.
I hope you join us for conversation, and introduce yourself and your horses!
Well, horse lovers at FR, this is great. My wife and I have 21 horses, 19 TB's and two ponies. Of our TB's 6 are in foal by Mokhieba a stallion sired by Damacus. We have started a breeding and training operation and are getting ready to move to Oklahoma with all of our horses. Our first foal is due March 18th and then they come one after the other.
My wife trains jumpers and we will train some for the track if they are fast enough and the ones that are jumpers she will train for shows.
Introducing everyone to squarebarb, and her mare...
Squarebarb, welcome, and you can find lots of our pics in the thread, and here on our The FreeRepublic Saddle Club - Who's Who page.

Talk of disease online sparks concern among horse owners
A flurry of interest arose this week on an Internet message board started by individuals who think their sick horses' fatal diseases are linked. As a result, veterinarians are cautioning horse owners not to jump to conclusions in diagnosing their own animals or linking past cases with the alleged disease, because at this time, no disease claims have been substantiated.
Since March 2, horse owners have been posting to a bulletin board about a disease, named "Whisper syndrome" after the deceased horse of John Holland of Shawsville, Va. That horse died after a rapid onset of clinical signs that included inappetence, neurologic signs, and colitis. He posted information about his horse's clinical signs on the message board, and many horse owners have responded, suggesting their horses might have had the same problem.
The AAEP has not been contacted by any veterinarian or state agency reporting "Whisper Syndrome."
