Pony Pictures! Here are some before and after pictures of the pony trimmed on Mother's Day, May 11, 2003. The trimmers were Diana Wittkopf, Patrick Preston, Don & Patty Johnson, Kara Nielson, Liz & Bill Kline. The top three are before (Duh!) and the bottom three are after. The pony, "Spur", still has quite a ways to go to be completely normal but he is walking very well at this point. |

For Sale: |
| Pony for Sale: Indy, Appaloosa-Welsh cross gelding, red roan, 13.5 hh, 7 years old this year. Well-built, sound, and bold. Indy would do well at eventing. He needs a small adult or assertive youth rider. He's been used for two years giving lessons to beginner child riders, and is trustworthy, calm and kind with them on the ground or when the kids are being led in the saddle. However, these students all have a difficult time controlling Indy when in the saddle, as they are unable to be sufficiently assertive and correct with their aids. Indy is not malicious or mean; nor has he hurt any of these students; but he's too much horse for the level of students I teach. He has the potential to be a lot of fun for a more experienced rider. Aside from the training I've done over the past two years using him for lessons, Indy has had a month of daily professional training during which he was schooled in jumping; he's reportedly good at it. Prior to coming to my farm, Indy was used strictly as a trail and hunting horse. He was hauled in the back of a pickup with a stock rack, and had to jump into the pickup from the ground. This didn't disturb this great little horse -- he's a plucky guy and a real cutie. I'd keep Indy myself, because he's strong and adventurous with a great work ethic; but he's not big enough for me. I will be selective about buyers, because I want this horse to go to a good home and to a rider who is able to enjoy him. I'm asking $2,000 for him with potential for negotiation. Please contact Karen at 752-9102. Click on a thumbnail below for a larger picture. Click on your browser back button (back arrow) to return to this page. (These pictures seem to give Indy kind of a pig eye. In person he actually has a very nice eye.) | ||

This verminous arteritis lesion is from the cranial mesenteric artery of a weanling Quarter Horse colt posted at the USU diagnostic laboratory in January. Verminous arteritis is caused by the migration of larvae of Strongylus vulgaris through the blood vessels. It was once a common cause of colic and death in domestic horses. It should not happen today, as strongyles are easily killed with avermectin wormers. The thrombus (fibrinous clot) had nearly occluded the artery, which is the main blood supply to the gut. The arterial wall is much thicker and rougher than normal. |
