I have spent 6 years of my life caring for a dear woman who was diagnosed at 30 years old with Parkinsons. She has become a maternal figure for me as my home life was never a great one, she's a dear friend, and one of the most genuine people I have ever met. Shes young, not even 70 yet. Through Fathers Day weekend she declined so rapidly that when I came home on Monday, I took one look at her and started making phone calls to her family and friends. We are so lucky to have Hospice services and they do wonderful work. I'm no stranger to end of life care, but this one is hitting me hard.

My guy friend got jumped and pistol whipped yesterday by a group of thugs...went in for stithes and found out he has stage 3 stomach and testicular cancer...and he's 20. His girlfriend's (my friend too) best friend OD'd on heroine two nights ago. She had no history of substance abuse prior to this.

My mind is overwhelmed. My heart hurts.

I come here to get away and relax. I went to flush my group of mares who were ready today and accidentally mass flushed three of them and knocked my funds dramatically back. I'm lucky I have 16,000 hbs a day coming in, and I should be able to make up what is lost eventually. But until that happens I may step back a little bit and sell some genetics I have sitting around to try to raise some funds back up.

I'm not asking for anything from anybody except a shoulder to lean on and some positive words. This week has really taken a toll on me, and we aren't quite through yet.

Please send your best thoughts and vibes to my dear friend.

Thank you for listening. ]]> https://mail.develop.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/61075/any-chemists-out-there Tue, 12 Jun 2018 18:24:27 -0700 milkyway2001 61075@/forum/discussions

if anyone on here can give any help to any of these topics it would be greatly appreciated!
i know a lot of you are good with genetics hence why i think there could be some chemists on here. :)

I know this has NOTHING to do with hunt and jump or horses, but lemme just rant real quick. ((Also, im sorry if this isnt allowed or i seem too all over the place, but im crying and i need to rant to everyone. ))

Ok so when i started to watch game of thrones, i was like "wowie, i love ned stark." And guess what? He D I E S two or fricken three episodes in. I moved on, and found new characters that i fell in love with and new ones that i began to hate. (I LOVE arya, i love jon snow, i love robb. I hated sansa and didnt care for bron. ((Bronn? I cant spell his name lmao)) -SPOILERS! BEWARE!-

and i was like, "okay. Well robb royally screwed up by marrying another lady when he was promised to a tully girl, but he's moving in on the lannisters and im sURE that he cant loose. Oh! Look! Jon fell in love also. wOW, ARYA IS FINALLY AT THE CASTLE AND IS ABOUT TO MEET UP WITH HER BROTHER/MOTHER. Aww, robbs wife is pregnant... im crying, this is so sweet- i swear to the seven gods, if george kills her and the baby off-"

Lemme just clarify that the name of the episode is the red wedding. The red. wEDDING. I didnt know what to expect, but god.. I just.. i cant. This show/book series is making me feel so many emotions, and i just.. ugh... Whyyy did you have to do this George R.R Martin?

((Okie, i shall not post anymore spoilers- although i would die to hear some from anyone else that watches the show. Does joffrey ever die? What happens to sansa? Where does she go? Who's the next king? Does khaleesi ever make it to kings landing? Please guys, rant with me and give me the juicy details! ))

So we need a little back story. Ever since like 3rd or 4th grade I have been ungodly horrible at history; I have always failed tests or did horrible on them and could barely keep my average grade above passing throughout the whole year. In 8th grade I always had an average of about 67 more likely lower to 66 or 65 and I failed almost every test because I absolutely hated the subject and the teacher wasn’t really the best and I never understood. Last year I had a single 76 which happened to balance out my grade for when I failed the final with a 55. I wrote a HORRIBLE essay (maybe three sentences for a 12 sentence subject and only one main paragraph where 3 would have been sufficient). I even had a “special help” teacher move me into his study halls so I could be helped this year because I did so horrible on the final.

Now for this year! Before school started I had always been known to hate global and to always “stand at the edge of the cliff” per say, but maybe the first couple weeks of school we started to take quizzes and I thought I would fail every one. I only failed maybe 4 throughout the whole year and that was because my stupid self didn’t read what I was supposed to read. But now to the last three weeks of school. I knew the regents (huge state tests that everyone in the state is required to take from that class at the end of the year) was coming up but I was going to wait till the last couple weeks to really start buckling down and studying hard and that’s exactly what I did. Probably studied for more than 30 or 40 hours the four or five days before the regents and I went to the review that morning and went to take the test and spent the three hours in that room and I finished that last work of my last essay the very second he said that the time was up. The day after I got a rough estimate of how well I did on the multiple choice; I only got roughly 4 wrong out of 30 but didn’t know my overall score till earlier. I checked my emails and I see a message from my teacher and it said that I got a 90! I was (and still am) beyond speechless, so impressed with my score that I started crying.!

Over the weekend we got news that my main show horse and equine love of my life's career is over due to high ringbone (basically arthritis with bone growth around the pastern joint). While it is still in the beginning stages and not affecting the joint yet, we believe it's in his best interest to retire him to a lighter career to keep him sounder for longer and not cause him undue pain. He has been a key part of helping me move back up the levels and even pull a few checks. I had leased him for ages and only recently bought him. Thankfully I am very close to his old owner and she is refunding the purchase price and holding onto him until our new farm for the oldies is finished and fenced in where he will retire to a light flat career. Needless to say, I've been down in the dumps and feeling a bit numb after that shocker. I have other horses that I can continue to show on, but he is something extraordinary.]]> https://mail.develop.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/61087/im-getting-my-first-horse-advice-needed Tue, 12 Jun 2018 23:33:46 -0700 MariaChapinFarm3 61087@/forum/discussions That horse is a type of draft called the shire horse, one of the biggest breeds of horses and (in my opinion) the prettiest.
The past couple days I've been scowering the web looking at pictures of them and dreaming, and I finally am starting to take action. For the next year or two, any extra money I get will be saved, and once I get my tax refund all of it will be put towards this cause. I've found a stable where I can board the horse until I get my own house, and the people there offer full care (which is kinda spendy, but I'll need it since I just got a full time job) which I'm taking it. It'll take a year or two for me to save all of the money I need, but in the end it will totally be worth It to finally get my own horse! :)
The reason I made this post is that I need some tips and tricks, (as well as to share the exciting news! I cant even contain myself right now :D) and maybe some advice from other players that own actual drafts/horses. My half sister has a horse and she taught me the basics, but she is also new to the horse business so I thought I'd ask y'all!

Here is the shire horse that I want:

Some of you might have seen this already...

I had a MAJOR CLUTZ of a thoroughbred/percheron cross.

My boy, Zeus, in his lifetime..managed the following...and more....


1. Straddle a fence line...sideways. I still have NO IDEA how he managed that.
2. Get a mountaineering carabiner stuck on his upper lip. That was a fun chase.
3. Remove all the paint from a car hood, by scraping with his teeth and eating it.
4. Get his jolly ball stuck on a back hoof.
5. SELF HOBBLE HIMSELF. No, he was not tied up, and the lead rope had been untied
and loose on the ground.
6. Trip and bite thru his tongue. At a walk, on flat packed earth.
7. Decide the dogs agility course looked like fun....
8. Rip his fly blanket straps...hello fly cape...
9. Decide to STEP OVER another horse sleeping on the ground...his long ass legs
didn't care when her stout self stood up.
10. Find the ONLY BLOODY NAIL sticking out of the fence....rub ass against it...looked
like a cat had shredded him. Refuse to come in for treatment until bribed.

The colt I trained in College, DR Docs Bar King, earned his barn name of Loki...

1. Pulled off his front pair of shoes, the day after shoeing, by setting his hooves on the fence, hooking the gap at the back and pulling. He went barefoot after that.
2. We had half gates on the stalls, with a 2 ft gap at the bottom. He laid down and wiggled under the door. (His full brothers and sisters have apparently done this as well over the years.)
3. Pretend to be lame to get out of reining training. Get turned out into the pasture for the day...proceed to run, buck and be a brat...refuse to get caught again.
4. EAT MY BRAND NEW BOOTS. (not play with..he actually ripped and ate the uppers.)
5. Figure out the latch mechanism on the stalls. Wiggle out...let the whole damn barn loose.

And SO MUCH MORE...seriously..Loki earned his name. (his brothers name was Houdini if that gives any clues...)]]> https://mail.develop.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/60926/triple-crown-winner Sun, 10 Jun 2018 00:31:56 -0700 CeffylDwr 60926@/forum/discussions He's the 13th horse to win it and only the second horse to do it with a completely undefeated record.

I am a preachers kid (or, as I like to say: Theologians Offspring...MUCH classier! :P ), and when I was in middle school a member of my dads church, who knew how horse crazy I was, said he knew where there was a horse that was a pasture pet, but he had broke and trained it so it was rideable. They set me up with the family who had bought the horse because it was born the same day as their first grandchild, but they knew NOTHING about horses!

Ladybird was a 1/2 QH, 1/2 Walking horse 3 year old when I first started riding her. We could never figure out what color she was, but now I know she was Amber champagne. I had taken lessons for years, but having a horse I could play with any time I wanted was GREAT! The owners didn't have a whole lot of money, and neither did we, and the pasture was in a not so great part of town, but by golly I was out there every day after school and stayed until well past dark!

I used a bent screwdriver as a hoof pick, and made a lunge whip out of a broken golf club and an old rein. I showed in local shows, in any class I could possibly enter! My mom made my chaps, and I made yarn reins and the, then popular, yarn tassles for behind the saddle pad.

After I went away to college my sister took over. After college I moved to Los Angeles and a trainer I volunteered for ended up giving me a Doc Bar bred cutting horse colt that I had raised (in lieu of payment for years of giving lessons). I eventually sold him to a lady who was getting started in dressage.

Here is a picture that H&J member Sunwolf did for me ages ago, of Ladybird and my bay colt, Oaks Tomcat. The dog was my once in a lifetime dog, Cassidy. The picture is titled 'Summer Dreams'

What affects the size of the pattern? Is it white factor and w20 or is there more?

These are the appaloosa pattern they want included. What are their alleles?
With ones that don't have a proven allele what do you think would be the most probable set up
Blanket: lplp ecap+/patn+
Varnish: no allele, probably dominant so could be shown with just one copy? Example: lplpv
Snowflake: (only shows when recessive) lplp snsn
Fewspot: lp ??
Snowcap: lp ??
Leopard: lplp patn1patn1
Frost: is it just another name for varnish? Maybe varnish with a specific placement?

I used to breed leopard and a few fewspots/snowcap but apparently I wasn't very good at it XD

I know I will never genetic test her for color but I’d like to figure out what color genes she has. That way I can sort of know what her color possibilities are for babies. I happen to know most of her family tree so that should help. I’d love to have everyone’s imput on what genes it looks like she could have. I’ll try to post pictures too.

This is the ranch I got her from she’s related to a lot of the horses there through her sire. Evans Quintus. Her dam is Sapphire.
Her dam sire is EMR Justice,
Her moms dam is Jewl
