Since it’s Friday…
Sep 07 2007
If you can’t see today’s pictures, click here. We had a glitch and some of you can see them, some can’t.
Daily, I log on to find
The equine world has lost its mind
Like this snuggling session with a “friend”
Who doesn’t know how this will end?
Boundaries? What are those?
My horse and I, we’re super close!
Don’t hit or yell, I’ve been advised
He’s a rescue and traumatized!
“He doesn’t like blue,”
I heard her say
As paramedics took her away
Have I got a horse for you!
A bay overo – ain’t that cool?
With a massive hip and big belly spot
He’s sure to get looked at a lot!
I’ve turned down much more for him, of course!
But I can tell he wants to be your horse
I’ll sell for just $5500 today!
(Bring an XL halter to take him away)
Just what was this horse bred for?
Sniffing for truffles? Sweeping the floor?
With his nose on the ground and his ass in the sky
I just have to ask WHY? WHY? WHY?
For just $4000, you can know the thrill
Of riding a horse that’s severely downhill!
Or – better yet – alert the news!
Finally found a use for those “Big Lick” shoes!
What will I find next? Oh let me guess…
A girl in a too-tight hoochie dress!
Those platform heels are sexy, too
Can’t wait ’til you slide off and step in poo
I shouldn’t be surprised you have no sense
Your web site’s full of barbed wire fence
Keep breeding those grade mares every year
You’re keeping the meat dealer in cigs and beer

So are you going to give up the name of the overo stallion? I was wondering if it is the same one I know of or if there are two identical reproducing fugly stallions out there.”
I do not know the horse’s name. He is in the Chehalis WA area and that pic was on his Craigslist ad.
I cracked up when I seen she has a link to this on her website. GAWD! That is hysterical.
Every day I keep watching (almost like the Truman show) to see if I will know one of the farms you find pictures on the web of. I also hope mine are never up there in a bad way. If they are, then I deserve to ‘get it’ for posting them that way.
I know better than to post a crappy photo and some of them I delete form the camera since they should never be seen by anyone, it is just that bad of a picture.
If everyone did the same though, we wouldn’t be here now, and not nearly as entertained as were are then, now would we?
You know, that is the irony. BYB’s never realize they’re BYB’s. They laugh when I make fun of other people with grade breeding stock and barbed wire fence and unspayed pets and it never once occurs to them to shine the light on themself and say “Oh wow, man…I have grade breeding stock and barbed wire fence and unspayed pets!”
Okay, the dead foal… that whole page should be a clue-by-four that maybe breeding horses shouldn’t be your ambition.
Okay, you didn’t ultrasound your mare. But they let that pregnancy go on really late without thinking “hey…. maybe we should call a vet.”
I know, it’s only a month… but it was twins, which in my understanding typically are born early (because the mare can’t hold both for the normal amount of time) so that mare must have been HUGE and IN PAIN.
Ugh. They are lucky the mare and one foal survived. Christ.

LOL, my dog is neutered, my two cats are neutered, and I am “spayed”. The only “breeding stock” at my place is my husband and my mare…EEEEWWWWW!!!!!!
dontyouridenofugly-
There was a stallion here some years ago, owned by a guy we call Killer Bob. He picks up the scraps at the auction, puts some training into them and tries to flip them for about 3 times the money. If he cannot resell them quickly or for what he wants, he will run them back through the sale he got them from or another one in the area.
My friends and I called him on that at a local pony, mini & mule auction a few years ago. The bidding would go so far and he would say “No Sale, I need at least $XXX for him.” My friend was behind the stands and shouted out VERY loudly- “Why Bob? You only paid $XX for him at the auction last week!” Boy did it get quiet in there.
KB is very abusive to his animals and his wife- he chased her one night with a manure fork and beat the tar out of her when he finally caught her. He only weighed about as much as the horse did, I don’t know how or why she couldn’t or didn’t just outrun him?
The stallion actually had papers and he got him through his in laws or something if I dismember it right. He was still fugly though and not worth breeding, even back then.
How is her stallion a palomino? I’m not seeing the “gold coat the color of a newly minted gold coin”.
I first thought he could be cremello, but he’s had chestnut/sorrel foals, so cremello is out.
Really though… can anyone explain this to me?
Yay, thank you for posting on photobucket, it was worth the hassle to finally see the pix!
rdm said, “…if ever any horse, mine or anyone else’s — ever “hugged” me like that, I’d beat the crap out of him.”
You got that right! Mine would be believing it was their last day…
I have to admit that I once tried to re-trained a horse like the downhill thing in that picture. He was this little 15hh thing that looked more like a daschund with no front legs than a horse.
He came to our barn and the owner was like “Oh hays, here you goes” and wanted him to event. Although he was really sweet and tried his little heart out, it just wasn’t going to work. It took like 2 minutes to get the entire horse over the fence. It was so awkward to ride. Collection? Forget about it. His front and back feet were about 5 feet apart… and only 3 feet long. It was just awful.
He would make a great trail horse, child’s mount, or badger-hunter but there was no way in hell he could be a competitive mount despite his great, great attitude. Luckily he was already a gelding and had proper handling.
So I sent him on his merry way with a strong suggestion that he should be a trail horse.
If the stallion has produced chestnut, it can’t be cremello. I’d say its a very light palomino, if it is a true palomino. I have seen some very very light palominos before so it does happen.
Oh god… the DaeDream Stables linked in the comments… I know that gal through another hobby. With her old farm, Elderberry Stables, I thought she was slightly insane, but man, she’s completely gone off the deep end. Wonder what became of her Shire stallion?
the hoochie mammas horse probably caught a venereal disease from the photo shoot…
“Or – better yet – alert the news!

LOL

Look at his ears and forehead. They are a light Palomino color.
FHotD – I just wanted to say that I LOVE your blog. I have learned so much from you and everyone who posts here. You have brought a real awareness to so many issues. I own just 2 horses – a (fugly!) gelding and fairly decent quarter horse mare. I know nothing about breeding and always have and always will consider that out of my league,to leave to the “pros” who have the understanding and knowledge to further a breed -something I wish others could just admit! The irresponsible idiots out there amaze – and sicken – me!
Also – these pics are hilarious!
Pics weren’t loading for me in Firefox, Safari, or Camino. But thanks to AJ for tossing them up on Photobucket (for those that missed it):

Personally, I don’t give a damn what some girl is wearing–there’s plenty of equine fug around to criticize without worrying about how people choose to dress themselves. Her horse is well fed, looks pretty content, and while I personally find bare legs against horse to be ungodly uncomfortable, if she’s comfortable enough with herself and her body to be revealing, then more power to her. *shrugs*
I can’t imagine how a horse could really be *that* downhill, and he must be incredibly uncomfortable (himself and to ride). I’m amazed his rider actually manages to have a fairly decent position on him, considering. And that *is* an Aussie saddle–I think those Poleys are probably pretty key.
Is that overo really foundered? He doesn’t look humped in the back to me, and he doesn’t have a whole lot of his weight on that hind end–he just looks extremely downhill (and weighed down by his giant head!) and like he’s reaching for the ground with his forelegs.
Poor downhillies.
HAHAHA! I laughed and laughed at the link to that *stallion* and his pedigree. “wild mustang” “wild mustang” AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Wonder what assoc. he’s “registered” with?? AHAHA!!!
I do not know if the overo is foundered.
I woudn’t have picked on the girl if she didn’t have a web site full of grade broodmares, unspayed cats, barbed wire fence, people lying down on the ground with foals, and all the other things I rage against here daily. Bad fashion itself is not enough to get featured here or this blog would be 300 pages a day and probably include me, since my budget usually limits my shopping to Ebay and Ross Dress for Less.

Your friend rocks. I want to buy your friend a drink.
Ah, that’s better.
No. Wait. I really didn’t want to see that. Really.
I also have to add that my giant cow-horse-thing (Hole-steen-er) does “hug” you but it’s seriously just so you will scratch his withers. He will put his head over your shoulder and pull you into his chest until you scratch his withers. He will follow you around and position you to scratch his withers. The only thing he wants in life is a pony to scratch his withers all day. I am working on that.
And yes, I do know the difference. Our other hole-steen-er does the stallion hug, and he gets his ass whacked because he is not just looking for a scratch.
There can be a difference. That being said, you have to know what you are doing. Even my beloved cow-horse-thing has boundaries.
… just not when it comes to sugar cubes…

This horse looks like a champagne to me. He has greenish eyes and very pink skin and a muddied look to his mane and tail.

He is a palomino! Sire is a palomino and dam is a sorrel.
Macsbluesong,
He could have a bald face that gives him blue eyes or he could have the greenish blue eyes of a champagne.
good point, forgot about that!
I just looked at Millenium Miracle and he does have a bonnet face. There is darker palomino coloration on his forehead.
Pic 1) After another death at “The Farm”, that is now illegal in Washington State.
Pic 2) Put on glasses and, wow, horse wasn’t turning and all that white wasn’t the house – oh my.
Pic 3) Poor pony would be uphill if the porker moved back.
Pic 4) Failed hygiene in grade school.
” he chased her one night with a manure fork and beat the tar out of her when he finally caught her”
Bob would NEVER sleep in peace if he did that to me.
cutnjump, I LMAO at your story of the girls and spurs.
“The only way the last picture could be any better is if someone had been using a camera when our wonderful neighbor decided to do a home made cowgirl version of Girls Gone Wild. … I guess when she leaned over the horses neck she flanked ‘em one but good and got herself in a bad siteyation in a might quick hurry.”
Cutnjump, I would pay good money to see that!!!!
The-farmers-wife, your poem seriously made me laugh. Absolutely wonderful. I know several ladies who would probably love to print it, frame it, and give to their husbands.

Please, Dear, next time warn me before you say something like this. I gave myself a headache laughing.
RE: that girl in the short black dress and her website… there is a special place in hell for people who use bright blue text on a bright red background. I demand that she send me a bottle of OTC pain relievers immediately. The slight headache I managed to develop from laughing so hard is turning into a full fledged head explosion thanks to that visual assault.
Aww.. did you HAVE to post the picture of the hoochie?
I think my mind is damaged now… thanks FHOTD.
I posted days ago as “dented helmet,” but for some reason, most likely my complete and utter incompetence with all things technological, I cannot post with that name now.
Please consider me dented, still.
Must comment on last picture (tramp on horseback): Doesn’t that horse’s expression just scream, “EWWW!! A little something called UNDERPANTS, please!!”
“

Yes, but wouldn’t at least ONE of the horses on one of those registries have an actual name? Just wondering.

BTW, I guess I should have mentioned that the web site I was posting is the hoochie mama’s. Go on. Check it out. You know you want to, LOL!!! Also check out her “Favorite Links”. One of them is this blog. I laughed so hard I almost peed myself.

I thought that looked like her! Good Lord!

I love it.
Fugly, Farmers wife and all the rest of you here, if you are in or near the Phx area I would welcome you to join me in a drink of choice. And Hypnotoad our horses put their butts to the fence for a scratch on the ass. They will follow you with their butts for it. If they ever raised a hoof in a mean way, the whole leg comes off.
Perhaps the only thing scarier than Merikle Waters’ web site is the owner’s understanding of hoof care, as demonstrated by her contributions to Horseshoes.com:
Foundered Mare…help?
Help with chronically foundered mare
Help please!
In foal foundered mare …
Ok, her Dun Mare “taffy” looks like she was a bite away from foundering! Her neck is way too thick! My broodmare can get like that if I don’t watch her, and take her off the grass!
Somebody tell me how a miniature horse can be a part of a therapeutic riding program????
In the first picture it looks as though the horse is trying to mount him.!!! if only he knew! The last picture is downright nasty. I think she was tryign to be a sexy cowgirl. The horse is really well groomed but damn she picked the wrong outfit
there is a shade of Palomino called “Isabella” that is that light, but I can’t imagine anyone referring to it as “gold”

Oh, I am all too familiar with her understanding of things. She has a LONG history of going onto various forums, asking for advice, and then argueing for pages and pages with those who offer it. She simply cannot understand that she is #1 breeding piece of crap horses and #2 keeping several horses alive who deserved to have the sweet relief that death would bring. She is really a piece of work.

Shit! I just sprayed tequila all over my monitor & keyboard.
that’s too funny.
Hmmm, guess I was right about that mare…surprise, surprise….
Ok – so I can forgive the fact that this girl has poor fashion sense and pale legs. After all, I have pale legs, and while jeans or shorts and t-shirts may not be the same as tight / shiny black dresses, I will not qualify for any ‘best dressed’ award anytime soon.
HOWEVER, after reading the links to the forums on the foundered horse, I have to say….. WHY in the HELL would you breed a mare who suffers from chronic founder? You LOVE horses? I LOVE horses, too – which is why I haven’t bred more foals than I could keep, and have given up the idea of breeding my mare, as she had did not take the last two times I tried, and now (unfortunately) she is just getting too damn old. She doesn’t look old – she doesn’t act old – but I’ll be damned if I’m going to stress out her 21 year old body just to get another baby out of her. Because I love horses.
The sheer selfishness of people is repugnant to me. Yeah, you love that mare. You know she has a problem with chronic founder, you “adopt” her to save her, however you have no vet willing to travel to you, no competent farrier, and hey, here’s an idea – you breed her on top of it all.
sometimes i really dislike people.
Okay, I guess it was her other mare that foundered, but the Dun doesn’t look too far behind
All I have to say is that that trashy looking girl has no right to own a horse. If the mare is foundered why would you breed it. It simply puts more weight on the feet and can cause more sinking to happen. Duh!!!!!!!!!!
She is another greedy person. According to the message boards she won’t put the mare down because she’s in foal which was supposedly an accident with a fence jumper. I love how that person told her off about that. Hahaha
WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?
I was just reading through her posts again. This is the mare who’s dead baby was pictured on the website (one of twins). She foundered after giving birth to twins, has “evident sinking” and cannot / will not move faster than a trot. She has a suckling baby and this winner has bred her again. What can I say?
INSANITY
Photo 1 has inspired me to haiku:
Stallion mounts,
One fewer asshat
swims in gene pool.
How about the right link…
I was going to check it before I posted, but I hit enter instead of mousin’ on down to “PREVIEW.”
Oh, and Diane, that haiku has a very nice sound to it.
I woudn’t have picked on the girl if she didn’t have a web site full of grade broodmares, unspayed cats, barbed wire fence, people lying down on the ground with foals,
Oh I know! The site is a horror show, and it was essential to the rhyme. It was more the comments I was commenting on.
*WHY* would anyone intentionally breed barn cats? Even around here where the coyotes and raptors pick ‘em off with alarming frequency there is still a glut of kitties (many suitably rodenticidal
) at the shelter.
You know we could start the HAHA registry. HAHA would stand for How Amazingly Horrible Association. HAHA.
Frozen mudslide *everywhere*.
OK, after reading her posts on the Horseshoes forum, I want to scream.
Hey, Merikal, if you read this blog? IT’S ABOUT YOU. Stop breeding your foundered mare! Put the poor thing to sleep, you selfish asshat!
Oh now I’m dying. Thomas lit into this girl.
Merikal: None of you know about my breeding program
Thomas: We know what you told us and trust me, its no programme!
I bow to the master.

Somebody tell me how a miniature horse can be a part of a therapeutic riding program????
In the program I helped with they also had pet therapy. For those who couldn’t ride they could come and work with, in our case, a therapy dog.
A gentle, sensible, mini would be excellent in the program. It would be easy for someone in a wheelchair for example to groom. Sometimes just being around the animals help the people. Even if they can’t ride.
Why, look, I found a page showing the now-apparently-dead foundered mare who looks like shit.
Here you go
Actual quote: As this was his dams last foal, she went out with a bang!
I have no doubt. Did you shoot her yourself or was it some other member of your family?
I read the comments before I looked at the pictures. Needless to say I got pretty excited about the nasty-fat-fest I was about to feast upon. What a disappointment. The girl is trashy yes, but fat and ugly… no. Her slouch makes her look fat and white skin isn’t everyones cup of tea. But I happen to love the stark contrast of porcelain skin. And anyone with long hair knows it always blows out like that when there is even the slightest breeze. And who, as a young girl, hasn’t dreamed about that ‘glamour shot’ on our horse. This girl has enough problems to face and work on. Let’s not give her a complex about stuff she shouldn’t really worry about.
That poor mare was only 12. How long you suppose she would have lived if the girl hadn’t sent her into foundering mode several times over, and didn’t breed her according to horseshoes forum was a mistake (stallion jumped fence) then decided it wasn’t after all that she actually bred the poor thing.
Per Merikle’s post on horseshoes.com:
As for the accidental breedings…you must live in fairy land, because every breeder I know that is not a millionaire has had a stud jump his fence to get to mares once upon a time in their life. Also we DO NOT use electric fence, other wise, yes I would understand if it has never happend to a breeder. But I know some world class breeders that have had a stud break out at a time or two, where before they could get him, he bred a mare or two.
What horseshit! Most breeding facilities (especially so-called world class) DO NOT have stallions jumping fences into the mares’ pasture! She desperately needs to grow up and get a clue. Where the hell is her mother? According to her guestbook, it was suggested that she does this “breeding program” with her mother.

Yeah, I totally understand therapy animals (dogs, cats, whatver) and their huge benefit to special needs individuals, it was the way she stated it that made me think “what?” Maybe what you’re speaking about is what she was trying to imply.
it looks like it’s trying to hump her…
hahaha First picture looks like the horse is humping the dumbshit.
“Merikle Waters is proud to present Milleniums Legacy as one our next stallion Prospects.
Our plans for this colt consist of a lot of showing, and eventually offering him for public service. His pedigree tells us he should be quite the competitior, and his disposition, flash and conformation just repeats the already known. He will start in 08 showing halter on the aphc circuit and the CPHA circuits. He will be dual registered with Canadian Pinto, APHA, and possibly the American Pinto Association. He is a true Buckskin tobiano, with two brown eyes with some blue in both of them. This little guy is quite exceptional, so we are quite tickled pink with him. As this was his dams last foal, she went out with a bang! This colt is NOT for sale.”
Fuck me. They are completely brain dead I believe.
Her website hurts my eyes.
She is too young to be a responsible breeder, so yes, I agree – where is her parent? 16 year old girls are too caught up in the “romance” of horses to have a respectable breeding program. I know, given the chance, at her age, I’d have probably had baby horses coming out of my ears.
Neither of these breedings were accidents. She didn’t sit back and say “I will (responsibly) not breed this chronically foundered mare.” As quoted from the message board:
1st Foaling (Twins w/ 1 fatality):
“after that I had planned to breed her in a month or two….Well my stud bumped up the breeding date, jumped the fence and bred her.
I was going to anyways, so I bred her until the end of her heat cycle. All was good, she had a uncomplicated pregnancy.”
2nd Pregnancy (with suckling foal):
“Does she still sound savable? I don’t want to let her go, but will not let her be in pain.
I have put her in foal again, she took after one breed. She was ultrasounded (no twins).”
And this from the wisdom of a 16 year old:
As pretty much every farm loses a foal or two EVERY YEAR.
Really? NOT!
/delurks
The first pic… is there something wrong with that horse (aside from the moron-humping, I mean)? It looks a bit like it has worms – lots of ribs showing, very round belly?
As for the 16 year old breeding… ugh. This isn’t my fancy (but I can’t resist this blog, been lurking for quite a while!) but teenaged breeders ALWAYS mean trouble in my experience in my own fancy.
In that pic of the little “stallion prospect” newborn… it look, again, like something is awfully wrong with him. Are they SUPPOSED to be that skeletal? The others don’t look it! Also, is that duct tape on the dam’s hoof?
Exactly. Fatalities just don’t happen. We had some toxic abortions in our area, but obviously stopped that from happening. I had a stillborn 3 years ago, but that was because of something I couldn’t control. Sometimes things just don’t go as planned, but we did everything we could to prevent what happened – GREAT repro med care, mom was fit as a fiddle (ridden up to month 9, to be exact), and her condition was great.
OMG. That 16yo girl who has the AUDACITY to argue with Thomas lives in the same friggin’ province as me. Yay AB. I guess we’re not immune to COMPLETE idiocy and COMPLETE lack of parenting.
The only positive things I have to say about this:
I love poetry about stupidity
and
Most people in Alberta have white legs. It’s winter 10 months of the year.
Gawd. That girl embodies everything FHOTD is trying to speak out against. Goddamn cat breeding? And pray tell where the market is for her shitty double diluted paints with no abilities? Good thing we still have slaughter plants. Too bad we can’t sneak her onto the rendering truck.
Oh, Phoo. I also have long red hair, and legs 1/2 shade whiter…but, then again, I _don’t_ have a horse yet ‘cos I want to carefully think over details. No, don’t worry, the detail of comfier clothing for the job is already taken care of..
Besides, while it’s only crappy stallion owner skank, not crappy breeder skank, I dare you to top this little beaut I found on the Chronicle of the Horse BB a while back (please don’t eat/drink beforehand, and don’t scope it out at work. I take no responsibility for the food coming up in the back of your throat as it did in mine).

showthread.php?t=100357
Ok reading that horseshoes.com message board – the ‘foundered mare help’ thread made me sick to my stomach. She is one sick puppy. There’s a couple posters that really read her the riot act (i.e. the TRUTH) and she just kept ignoring them, fighting back. Just pathological what she put that poor mare thru. If you don’t have a vet that will come to you (she noted they don’t make housecalls and she had to bring her horses there) , well IMNSHO, you shouldn’t have a “breeding operation.” That poor mare foundered what, 3 times? Just sick. I hope she reads this and I hope she lays awake at night thinking of what she’s done.
Oh, and on another topic, AHHA has changed the front main horse photo and have a new banner ad advertising free banner ads , lol
Oh, sorry, I’m talking to myself here… but one of the studs that is on their front page, I heard today has actually died earlier this year.. Maids Dream. Though maybe they still have frozen semen available… ? But I find it interesting the ad was posted on 8/27/07, if the horse is deceased… I was sad to hear that he died though, beautiful horse.
The Jensens must be the most fugly breeder of all time, what, breeding poor, crippled Poco Lena like that.
I saw no barb wire in the site (though I didn’t look much, those colors and bubbles did make my eyes twitch), and if there is, it looks like an actual (gasp!) working ranch, with cows maybe even! Barb on a few hundred acres ain’t near as bad as field fence on a acre (which was what I saw, and much as I hate the stuff, it’s used a lot around here, too).
Spray paint that stud bay and he’d be way better than what I’ve seen lately. Wouldn’t mind that little bay mare, either. Obviously, the girl likes her grade horse, she named her operation after her. Anyone remember being that age and your favorite horse?
My mom trades barn cats. Most every track within 3 states has track cats from her barn. Suppose she’s just one of those dumb hick fugs, though, should I tell her what ya’ll think of her (she’s 80some and can still kick a mouthy city bitch’s ass)?
Geesh folks, she’s a kid! She seems to be doing alright for herself, lessons to learn, but time to learn em.
Ya’ll are sounding like a bunch of mid-life yuppie wifeys who got the PW hub to buy ya a horsie so you can lord over all.
She still should have paid better attention in hygiene class.
roanrider…l be laughin again also due to the almost peed myself comment(happens to me too)
More serious note though, l am guilty of riding in shorts n singlet in dams, lakes and the ocean etc(very experienced and choosey about the horse l’m on) ok.NEVER with children(some of em seem to grow into people like that skank) around though and having worked taking people(some that would make good subjects here) trailriding and giving lessons and so on l never ride without my helmet because we lead by example and l often wonder what sort of example is being set in some places.
Regards to all

Oh that’s PRICELESS. Lessons to learn…and who is paying the price for her stupidity while she “learns her lessons”? The poor goddamn foundered mare who’s in so much pain that she can’t even stand up to nurse her foal.

Oh, sorry, I’m talking to myself here… but one of the studs that is on their front page, I heard today has actually died earlier this year.. Maids Dream. Though maybe they still have frozen semen available… ? But I find it interesting the ad was posted on 8/27/07, if the horse is deceased… I was sad to hear that he died though, beautiful horse.
If you look at all of those ads, they were placed by AHHA, apparently not by the owners. I have e-mailed several stallion owners, but as of yet not received even a “go to h*ll” message! Hmmm
Also, I have a new message from Heather at Marestare…I will post it on the other thread..
Again, I don’t know the full story, and I doubt you do either.
I saw no foals trying to suck off a downed mare. I saw one mare who looked bad, but I’ve seen way worse. At least the girl tried to find answers from people who actually might know something, not the boards where she’d been told to use natural shoes and sprinkle the horse with fairy dust. She didn’t take the advice, but did the owners of Barbo, and plenty of others out there, hoping for a miracle (horse, human, dog, etc)?
I personally have more respect for her than rescues who buy a horse and make it suffer just because it makes them feel good.
Yes, she breeds a grade mare. In some parts of the world, a using horse is more important than a papered plug. She doesn’t seem to have a bunch of useless yrl/2yo/etc stacked up, so maybe her program fits where she’s at. In a few years, you may just be using her as your “now that’s what breeding is about” example. (Advice to girl, don’t use the grade mare. Seperate your emotions from your program.)
I’d think it must be rough, going through life being so perfect. Mayhap I sense a twinge of jealousy that a teen can have a better operation than what hubs money bought?
Let he who hath no sin cast the first stone.
shovels –
I’m in another fancy (see the one posted above by someone new), and yes, *everyone* has to start somewhere. New breeders — especially young ones — make a lot of mistakes starting out. G-d knows I made a few, first with guinea pigs (as a teen) and then with fancy rats (as an adult). I’m not proud of it, either. For this reason, I try very hard to make myself available as a mentor… but sometimes people are just determined to do things the stupid way! I think it’s too early to tell with this girl…
Ann??
“In that pic of the little “stallion prospect” newborn… it look, again, like something is awfully wrong with him. Are they SUPPOSED to be that skeletal? The others don’t look it! Also, is that duct tape on the dam’s hoof? “
Yup, they’re skinny, ugly, slimey lookin runts. Mare’s gotta shove all that out, remember. Wanna see fugly, check out the nursery at a hospital – some pretty scary/skeletal/scrunched stuff there. They usually start looking better after a few feedings (horse and human).
I have a huge box of boots collecting dust next to rolls of duct tape – you can fix/make dang near anything with duct tape.
graywolf said, “What horseshit! Most breeding facilities (especially so-called world class) DO NOT have stallions jumping fences into the mares’ pasture!”
Hey graywolf, just out of curiosity, what would you recommend to a person who complained about a neighbor’s stallion breaking into his pens and beating up his stallion and a mare or two?
As for the last picture, that is my daughter in her grad dress doing grad photos…. she wanted all standing shots next to the horse as the dress is not meant for sitting on a horse. However, we got that one shot. She is not a hoochie, a slut or a hoe, she is my 17 year old daughter. Her mare is not “embarassed”, just did not want to put her ears up.
we also own 2 grade mares that we breed from time to time. proven mares that they are, from barrel racing to reining, but to each their own. We only own 2 grades, both proven performers, and far from fugly.
if people wanted to see… take a look on the link pages, FHOTD is on there, I like this site, but not for calling my daughter a slut.
The stallion has not been shown as of yet, but will be next year. He is a Palomino Tovero.
we own 8 mares, and breed 2-3 of them a year if that.
Oh well, dont like my site? dont look.
FHOTD,
Thanks for posting the link the pics that weren’t showing… I gave up yesterday after much yelling at the computer screen… I wasn’t let down those three photos were priceless as usual… and I just sat here and kept repeating why why why…
oooh… the mom just left a comment, and well, I can’t help myself…
So it was her graduation and she wanted pics w/her horse, but the question of the day- what is attractive about that picture?? You’re daughter may indeed not be a slut, but as the old saying goes- a picture is worth a thousand words…

O.k. I can see that the picture was a bad photo that was taken as a set of grad photos. That’s all well and good. Lord knows I’ve taken MANY bad photos. But there is this little thing called common sense that tells me when NOT to post a photo online.
And as far as not being a slut… Maybe you should have educated her that what people perceive of a person is what they think is real. If she isn’t a slut or hoochie or whatever, she shouldn’t represent herself as one. With the picture of her in stripper heels and her too short dress nearly showing off her goods, it gives that perception. This perception is further reinforced through her myspace page.
It isn’t a good idea to build an online persona that represents yourself as something, then get all mad when somebody rips apart all the character flaws that YOU posted online. When dealing with people online, you have to remember that perception is reality.
Oh, yeah….and isn’t breeding barn cats like breeding cock roaches? Are they really THAT rare and valuable? I know I picked mine up at the local animal shelter for $20. Maybe I just got a Helluva deal and didn’t know it, because she is of the rare and valuable pure white variety as well. Does that make her a double dilute? It’s a shame that she was already spayed, I could be making big bucks by contributing to the pet surplus too.
Geez–I didn’t know rednecks existed that far north (re: the hoochie mama girl and her family.)
On another note….this had me in stitches
Stallion mounts,
One fewer asshat
swims in gene pool.
LMFAO
Shovels:
I’m not Ann, but thanks for the answer. I know that my babies certainly look scarier when they’re born than those foals do! I’m learnin’
Ann: you don’t happen to be Ann from a pretty well-known East Coast rattery do ya? If you are, I know you!
I have a 17 yr old daughter and no way in hell would I let her take a picture like that let alone even post it. It is in the worst of bad taste and makes a girl look slutty. Doesn’t mean they are but when you post a pic with the goods just about hanging out what does that say about her.
I would not want to see any woman of any age in a photo like that, it just screams look at me ” I am a Hoochie”
If my daughter posted a pic like that and then got ripped for it, my answer would be to her ” you asked for it by dressing like that”. What did you think people would think about you?? Maybe you should think before posting such pics!!!!
shovels said…”I’d think it must be rough, going through life being so perfect. Mayhap I sense a twinge of jealousy that a teen can have a better operation than what hubs money bought?”
Oh, pray tell, where is this “operation” that my husband supposedly bought me? I have ONE quality show mare that I will most likely never breed. BUT, if my husband has purchased some “breeding operation” without my knowledge, I’d really LOVE for you to tell me and everyone else all about it.
TricksR4Kids15 said…”The stallion has not been shown as of yet, but will be next year.”
I’m sorry, but your daughter has been saying that very same thing all over the internet forums for the last two years. Next year…next year…next year.
Shovels – I think you need to lay of the housewife trashing. Her breeding operation boasts no finished horses, no pictures of finished horses, and no updates saying, “Yay, so and so a filly was sold to so and so a trainer/breeder/show home for $5500″. I think if parents are to sponsor a child’s foray into business or genetics, it should be something they can afford and control. Goldfish and guinea pigs are good starter animals. If said 17 year old girl feels the need to train numbers of young horses per year, I’m sure she could head down to the local auction and pick up handfulls for under the cost of what keeping her stallion does. I’m glad that Mom found this site. Hopefully she looks at some of the other sites her daughter has posted on and sees how disrespectful she has been of some very wise and helpful horse professionals.
Hey mommy….why don’t you go check out your wonderful daughter’s myspace?
You might learn something.
You also might consider doing a little thing called PARENTING.
Just a suggestion.
FHOTD is no longer on her links page.
As for the “roan rider 420″ attacks, get over yourself sheree, no one wanted you on their boards so you felt the need to attack a 17 year old girl? first you send a horse to your supposed friend (a true FUGLY horse, that by the way, YOU BRED your ILL TEMPERED WACKO, illconformed mare to get)That WOW well I’ll be damned, is CRAZY too, and he injures her show horse. Then you go on to boast about how you got rid of that crazy hunk of shit and dumped it on her. Way to go loser, way to go.
You sure are a nice little cup of tea eh? Maybe get a real life and stop picking on kids. You dont like how she operates, how bout you contact her personally and tell her, instead of running around gossiping about bull shit like a highschool fucktard.

As far as both her and I know, She does not have a myspace.
The picture was not posted on her website, it was in her photobucket as I had scanned it in for her to look at, as I had gotten the proofs back and she had not seen them.
I cannot even fathom what type of people feel the need to bash a 17 year old girl because she sat on her horse for a grad picture, and that the dress did not cover all of her legs.
I think things should just be left alone. Dont like our horses? dont like the way things are done here? You are not being forced to look. We like our program, and so do many others. That is good enough for us. A Cattle farm full of barbed wire does not change itself over night, would a picture of the wood fencing we are trying to get done around the farm soothe all those concerned? I could understand how it would effect you all if you were boarding on our property, but since you aren’t, it really shouldnt matter.
Again, Dont like it? Dont look.
also, just a note, I just used her personal email, along with our business email, and she does not have a my space account.
Could we have this supposed address please? Thanks.
Hey TricksR4Kids15,
Did you not ever think that letting your daughter or your stallion breed that poor bay mare after she foundered not once, not twice, but three times in your care according to the posts on horseshoes.com is cruel. You got one foal out of her, and she foundered badly. Then she gets breed again (I don’t care how). Did anyone ever think that she wouldn’t get worse again. Mistake or not the pregnancy should have been aborted to save this mares life. No foal is worth the knowing loss of a mare. No one should be able to deny this mare would get worse with pregnancy. Anyone with sense knows more weight like a pregnancy is horrible for a foundered horse. I understand from another forum that the vet said she could be bred again unless the question asked was will she be able to be bred rather than is it a good idea to breed her again. No vet who truely cares about horses rather than money would say to breed her again it will be ok. You had one foal from her why the second that obviously was going to be the one to end her life. The second was one of color too. Was that the whole reason of breeding her? Do you breed for color only at the expense of a hurting mare? You can’t tell me she wasn’t hurting. No horse foundered that bad can be pain free or not in extreme pain. The x-rays on the photobucket site look like the worst case of founder possible without piercing. If your vet had ultrasounded her at all during her first pregnancy they would have pinched a twin rather than let a mare especially a foundered mare carry twins. It is so dangerous to both mare and babies. It seems maybe you didn’t actually have a vet involved in either pregnancy perhaps due to the whole breeding a foundered mare.
