She was apparently cast in her stall overnight and suffered severe injuries. They took her a vet hospital and everyone did their best, but she was too severely injured to be saved. She was in foal and 10 months along. Sadly, they tried, but couldn't save the baby. The whole thing is such a sad...

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of this incredible Whizzards Baby Doll and her foal. I remember watching this video a few years ago and thinking that this is what happens when you do everything right. Superb riding, incredible horse, and the exact right music to match. What an...

What a lovely idea! Of course, the pony has to be incredibly tolerant of all kinds of movements and noises, and you need a leader and side walker, no matter how quiet the pony might be. I have only had experience as a volunteer side walker, but I can tell you it is the most rewarding...

I asked Anna and Echo is currently pastured about 10 miles out of town from where she lives and, thankfully, is fine. I am adding a link to Anna's website. The story of Echo is one of several told in a book that Anna wrote about her life and her horses. Here is a link to her website...

This is one of the most horrific stories of spousal and horse abuse I've heard of, but it's a story that needs to be shared. I applaud the bravery of Anna Moss for coming forward with her story and I hope it helps other victims know they are not alone, and, hopefully seek the help of...

Hi All, Just to answer a couple of questions: They are in South Carolina where they very rarely get snow and freezing temperatures, but there is are major snowstorms in that part of the U.S. right now. Something they haven't seen in years. They blanketed the filly so quickly and had a...

Hi All! I started running the foal cam on Barnmice after Heather (Mare Stare) joined us a couple of years ago and I took what I thought would be ONE peek at her live feed! I am based in Canada, but my kids were in school in the U.K. a couple of years ago (Herstmonceux Castle in East...

I agree! 12 minutes is a LONG time to be galloping (for horse and rider) let alone jumping those massive fences. That horse is so keen and you can feel their incredible partnership! Also, didn't a lot of those jumping look incredibly narrow? Those horses are so honest!

Peter Atkins just posted his helmet cam ride of the Weg cross country course! It's absolutely thrilling and I LOVE his horse!!!! http://www.barnmice.com/video/world-equestrian-games-ky?xg_source=activity
