Just want to say that I live in South Africa and have good knowledge about African Horse Sickness. I do a lot of work, study and research on AHS and help where possible to reduce the number of cases we are faced with every year.

Due to the fact that it could spread to Europe, don't wait until it gets there to learn everything you need to know about it. It's a very complicated disease, so make sure you are prepared with all the knowledge you need to protect your horse.

You can ask me questions. You can also go to the website www.africanhorsesickness.co.za.

From Kathy Wiles

oh thank you!

Hey,
They were take iin Belgium

Thankyou It looks great. I'm sure I will meet many new people. :)

...I am looking forward to your phone call tomorrow, my throat gets better in the afternoon.

Great web site. I look like a headless horewoman in my profile! LAUGH

Thank you. That's Magic, it was taken when she was only 2 y.o. She is now 4. 1/2 Connemara, 1/4 Cleveland Bay, 1/4 TB

oh yeah he's cute-thank you-but a demon :oS

Thanks, purebred andalusian, Sweetest thing.

Thank you! That's Clyde. He's actually a Boston Park Ranger horse I've worked with. I hope to get some photos of me with my horse soon. Seems I'm always taking photos, and not getting any of me!

Thank you so much!!!
Nice comunity...

...God Bless...Patrick Swayze....Happy Trails....Watch over all our horses that have gone before us, until we can all be together again
Love and Gods Speed........

Thanks for that. The black & white filly is my new horse(15 months) Belle & the one standing is my 21 yr old TB Molly & the other is her son Winston. This is what they love sleeping, eating & the occasional !!gallop.LOL

Lol! I can use all the diversion from you I can get, the domestic gene missed me entirely!

thanks so much! and you guys really do help fast! WOW i am soooo adding you as a friend!

Thank you! I'm happy to be here. Arabian horses are a passion of mine. I love all breeds but Arabians are a favorite.

Mail (also maille, often given as chain mail or chain maille or chainmaille) is a type of armour consisting of small metal rings linked together in a pattern to form a mesh. This process is being used to make garments, jewelry and other things. It is quite beautiful.

I'm just now getting interested in it. I hope I have the patience to keep at it. Lol You can get many different colors of rings. My daughter is learning this as well. I'm basically an all thumbs kinda person so I hope I can get over that.

Now that is interesting. The first horse I owned outright --- not on grandfather's farm -- was an Arab gelding. He was a neat little horse. I also rode quite a few of my friends warmbloods. To me all horses are good, kind, and worthy but there is something really special about these well-bred and sane Quarter Horses. Their versatility just blows me away...

Thank you for your welcome. My kangaroos are very cute - Joseph Earnest Roosevelt Devagnanam (yes really !!!) is the oldest and he is very friendly and loves to cuddle anyone, Teddy (Tedward Bear) and Dusty are a bit shy and will only allow me to pat them ...Teddy is as cuddly as a teddy bear hence the name, Dusty is a girl and can be a bit of a girl !! I have had them since they were orphaned as tiny babies.

Hello, It's not too cold, but it's raining all week((

No not a photographer - I just like to spend time in the paddocks watching the horses and always have my camera handy . The owners of my old guys are always grateful to receive the shots of their horse once they have past on . Thankfully that has only happened once . It is the very difficult part of having a retirement barn . The others are happy to see their horses playing with their friends in the fields .

Thank you for your kind words. You seem to have a great site. I was compelled to join when I read Mr. Micklem's blog because I liked it so much.

new foal who has photographer husband besotted! very bold and friendly - a delight!

"billii the filly" arabian riding pony born 21 oct - very cute!

Hello I have a question concerning what can be written for my group when I cover a scientific or technical article. Other than giving credit to the author, what are the restrictions here on covering science and vet subject matter? I will not be giving any medical advice either. Thank you for your great site.

Thank you.
Yes the info I plan to write about is for everyone generally. Some other people on this site possess far more educational credentials than little old me. I am not going to write anything all that advanced really, just horse nerd friendy subjects. I really appreciate the information in your reply.

I can't believe I just now found you! This is exactly the type of forum I have been looking for!

Thanks!! Thats my Lusitano, Rei, just before he was gelded, has had gastric ulcers as he used to get too stressed with strange horses about the place, so felt it fairer to geld him, so that he can lead a normal life with other horses. Hormones are a bit awry and he has been a bit less full of himself than he was in the pic, but hope he will be back to himself soon!

thanks - happy to be here- great site - lots going on!

Hello, I am interested in signing up for the equine massage class.

Thanks for the welcome and the compliment on my horse. She is Gallod Tyleri, a two year old Section D Welsh Cob.

Thanks for the welcome. Equine Land Conservation Resource (ELCR) is a national not for profit whose mission is to advance the conservation of land for horse-related activity. We help horsemen save farmland and trails in their own communities. The tools available to us include conservation easements, land use planning, PDR programs, advocacy and organizing. See our website at www.ELCR.org We've been around 12 years now and are based in the KY Horse Park in Lexington. Great thing you have going here!

Thank you very much for accept my request to be part of your comunity.
Happy New Year¡¡¡

Thank you for your welcome. Photo taken about 40 miles South of Summit Lake on the Alaska Highway, Northern British Columbia.

What a warm welcome! As I uploaded the photos, I realized that I am woefully neglectful about keeping up with documenting my horse journey. Except for a few from this year, most of them are a bit outdated. In fact, my kids have not been photographed for a while either, so I gathered them reluctantly a few days ago before heading back to college, for a quick photo shoot! By the way, I have never been on a "blog" before, and joined because of my interest in Science of Motion and a long term commitment to Jean-Luc Cornille's principles of training. He is a genius indeed, and an important voice, a critically important voice in this tough world of equine competition. I, by the way, do not compete, and never will. Look forward to interesting dialogues.

terrific site
thank you so much

Thank you again, this is so much fun. I need to be careful! I had intended to access this site as another way to keep up with Jean Luc, who I have ridden with, off and on, for nearly 15 years. I think he is brilliant. I will look up your suggestion, cannot remember his name, now that it is not in front of me....dont know of him. Thanks for the suggestion and your web site....still figuring out the nuances.

Hey, thanks... You don't have a lot of western folks on here. Thought maybe I'd add to the crowd.

Yes, its lovely until you get flooded, wake up with water around your bed and then drop your laptop in the water!!!Luckily this has only happened once in 25 years of living here, so you can't complain!!!!

Julie is a gem - love her style and attitude!

Yes, Patti has been very helpful.

Did you know that KatyM and I overlap in another sphere? We're both Nerd Herd members...small world!!!!

Pretty fabulous! I never connected the Nerd Herd MEP with Barnmice KatyM!

Thanks for the comment on my boy! That's probably the whitest he's ever been. He's sort of a uniform dingy color right now (except he's got dark "socks" on his legs from all the mud! *sigh*)

Great site! Enjoying a walk about - lots to see! Glad we found you!

Thank you! This is a fab site:D Just stumbled onto it by coincidence (through a google search for something completely different), VERY glad!

I'm a newbie! What a fun site:)

Wow I am dumbfounded and thoroughly excited! I look forward to getting to know Helen Marioncu as we go through this project. I love art, especially horse oriented, so this is even more fabulous! Thank You to BarnMice and Helen for this very special Happy Heart day gift.

Thank You!
