A Visit to Jesse El Rubio~ Palomino Paso Fino Stallion

By
Have you ever heard of a stallion that calmly tolerates, even enjoys, being handled, groomed and ridden by 12 complete strangers, most of whom are children?



This is Jesse el Rubio, a PFHA registered Paso Fino stallion.  He is a son of the prestigious, 7 time Bella Forma Champion, El Chino de El Batey.
(Click here to view Jesse's pedigree)

He is registered as a palomino with the PFHA, but his color is what is known as "dunolino", meaning a cross between palomino and dun.  He has sired palomino foals in the past.

I had been considering breeding Fannie for a little while, and got online to see if there were any good, reasonably priced, stallions for stud around.  Of course, I was looking for a Paso stallion.  Fannie comes from very good bloodlines (Capuchino & Plebeyo), and I wanted to get a good foal.
After talking with Jesse's owner, running the idea by Daddy, and counseling with our vet and several older friends with lots of horse experience, we decided to go see this stallion.  So Daddy, Mama, I, and 9 of my siblings loaded up in the van to go meet him.


We found that he was much more than I had originally thought.  Jesse is very kind and intelligent.  He is calm, with just the right amount of brio for a pleasure horse.  He gaits beautifully, is very light in the mouth, and is also trained to drive.


Anna-Frances loved him, and about threw a fit when we took her away from him.  He let her sit on him and pet (read hit) him.  She would bounce up and down on  him, as if trying to urge him forward when we let her sit on him.  And Jesse would cock his ears back, and look at us like "What is going on?  Is this alright?"  But he would stand there, and let her do whatever she liked.  (We didn't want to push it too far though, so took her off when she kept trying to urge him forward.)

So then she got to brush him.

Got to love that expression... This little girl just loves animals- especially dogs and horses!


Ms. Anita and Mr. Tony, Jesse's owner and trainer, were very kind, helpful and knowledgeable.  I have learned so much about Paso Finos after contacting them.  Since they have been involved with these horses for so long, breeding, training, showing, and rescuing them, they are a wonderful help to me.

 I had hoped to ride him, and was not disappointed.  In fact, Farrah, Bo, William, Justice, and Daddy were also able to ride.

I'm not the best rider (by a long way), but Jesse was wonderful, in spite of my ignorance.  He was definitely easier to ride than my mare.

And we even talked Daddy into riding him!
The barn is a good size and looked very comfortable.  The paddocks had plenty of fresh grass, and the horses were all in great condition.  If I was a horse, I would want to live there.  :)


Needless to say, I was so impressed, that Fannie went to stay at the farm less than a week later.  She came back yesterday looking even better than when she was picked up.

Marvelous Seeds- Natural Dewormer for Dogs and Others

By
Naturally de-worming animals can be challenging, and some people will say that you are just better off going with the chemicals.  There are several problems with chemical wormers however.  You see, a chemical wormer is actually a poison, which is fed to the animal in large enough doses to kill, or expel the worms, but in small enough amounts that it hopefully will not injure the animal.  Trouble is, worms have an ability to build up resistance to the chemical poisons used in these wormers.  For example:  A few years ago, when I first started with dairy goats, I had major trouble with worms.  In fact, I lost quite a few goats to them.  I tried using the chemical wormers- SafeGuard (at 4 times the dosage for horses, for 3 days straight), and Ivermectin.  The goats' hair remained curly (a sign of a heavy worm load), and their gums and eyelids were pale.  Finally, most of them died- including three beautiful purebred, registrable Nubians.  I was heartbroken.      Several years later,

Natural cure (and prevention) for foot rot in goats and other animals

By
Several years ago, I began learning about the benefits of copper as a supplement.  I learned that it is actually a necessary mineral for goats, cows and sheep, and is best absorbed in sulphate form.      What prompted the research was a case of foot rot in one of my goats.  I was unaware that it was foot rot until someone diagnosed it for me over the phone.  I had noticed that his foot had been swollen for a couple days, but didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that a bug might have bitten or stung him.  After about three days from the time that I initially noticed the swelling he was limping badly.  I mentioned this to a man who was interested in buying him, and he said that it might be foot rot.  He said to check and see if it smelled bad, and that if so, it was probably foot rot.      I checked, and sure enough there was a strong putrid smell to it.  So I started researching  a natural, and speedy, cure for foot rot online.  There was very little information to be found
