Tuesdays with Tony – The Babies Are Coming!
The babies are coming! The babies are coming! Yep, foaling season is well underway around here and I felt it was about time I discussed what the heck one is supposed to do with them once they get here. Let’s start with a quick foaling review. Once your mare starts...
Tuesdays with Tony – Internet Forums
I have been perusing the internet in the evenings when there is no one around to scratch my chin. I landed on one of these forum things where horse owners discuss all sorts of things, and I do mean all sorts of things. As a cat I found it be a fascinating study in...

Tuesdays with Tony – Highs and Lows of Helmets

Tuesdays with Teannie – Eyes
OK, I have had enough of Tony this and Tony that. I’m taking over this week. Welcome to Tuesdays with Teannie. That’s right, I’m the cuter and smarter cat at Springhill Equine, and this week I’m writing about eyes. I should point out I don’t have any, but that...
Tuesdays with Tony – Barn Fire Recap
No surprise, my "Come See Tony" event last week was a huge success. Thanks to Aaron of Oak Ridge Electric for providing the educational material; thanks to me for drawing the crowd. I saw many familiar faces, got lots of attention, and even learned a thing or two...
