| so went to let dog out and heard my mare going nuts grabbed a flash light ran out to see what was going on and neighbors Shetland stud was in our pasture chasing my mare and my gelding was out. I separated stud and my mare caught gelding who was cut to hell, after a hour working stud in my dry lot with flashlight in my mouth got him caught and took home, all this 2 am after doctoring gelding checked my mare no cuts but sure enough she's in heat. so need advice do I call vet asap tomorrow or wait till the vet comes for shots on June 19th my mare should not can not have a foal town ordinance states 2 horses only, she is just ready for seasoning this year and i would not breed to a Shetland if I did want to breed her. neighbor refuses to cut stud as she thinks it's traumatizing, he has already bred her daughter's mare resulting in a foal, now he is breaking thru my pasture fence causing my horses to be injured and possibly knocked up a
and all neighbor can say is sorry I don't think he could reach in like my mare 14.2 he just bred a 13.4 mare that you said oh he can't reach ougggggggghhh!
please please help

| So you don't waste time and money ...
Wait 16 days and have your vet do
a sonogram and pinch off anything
he sees ... this way you are sure there
is nothing in there ..
Mean while back at the ranch ..
if you get another visit from studly ...
load him up to the vets and make
him a happy gelding ....

Find out the laws of your county / parish concerning stud horses. The county I used to live in, it was the owners responsibility to contain a stud horse.
I would also look in to filing a small claims. |

| Contact your vet and come up with a game plan, there's a few different options I believe from a shot not to waiting for an ultrasound and pinching. You pay your vet, take their advice.
Meanwhile discuss the situation with the local sheriff and find out what the local county laws are. Minimum I would send the neighbors related vet bills as well as bills for the damage to your fence. Money usually makes things happen. |

Location: Texas | Yes, visit the vet for a shot of Lutalyse for the mare. Take the gelding along and have all his cuts taken care of. Send neighbor the bill. That might change her mind about gelding the Shetland. |

I would get a large bottle of lutalyse because everytime your mare comes in heat the pony will be out again.
I do not think you have a leg to stand on as far as getting any money. Ask if she will give you the little shiit in lieu of vet bills and get rid of him. At least if you sell him you can recoup some of your bills and the problem is gone. |

When her attitude interferes with the health and well being of YOUR horses, she needs to learn the hard lesson of paying for her stupidity - friends or not. |

he cant get into our drylot as long as I have horses shut in, I had a feeling this was gonna happen and left horses out but yesterday was my only day off in 2 weeks working 10hr days so I was playing catch up scrubbing tank scooping manure and getting fly system set up in barn, dident notice mare was showing signs of heat, so I have my self to kick to. |

| Umm, don[t kick yourself, kick her. Really, your horses were on your property so they should be safe from little pony stud terrorists. Next time, pen him up, call the sheriff department and have them come pick him up. That might wake her up to her responsibilities. |

Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | First don't panic. You have up to 3 months to figure out if your mare is pregnant and to deal with that.
Next find out what your county/state's laws are regarding stallions. I live in a state that I'm responsible for fencing others animals out of my property.
At least, cattle that's true. It seems backward but that's what it is. I'm not sure about stallions. That may be different. You need to have a come to Jesus meeting with your neighbor about the problem. I would show her the vet bills to let her know the gravity of the situation. If I couldn't get co-operation from her about gelding the pony, I would call animal control or your sheriff/whatever law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction and let them handle it.
This is why there is a saying "Good fences make good neighbors". I've been unhappy with my own neighbors lately. They have 2 dogs and 2 goats that are constantly out on the highway and in my yard. I have to keep my own gate to my driveway closed to keep them out. It's a PITA. But not nearly as bad as you're going through. |

Its about $20 a shot. It will make the mare sweat and possibly act a little colicy. The vet will advise you on the timing of the shot. |

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | I always want to be friendly with my neighbors...but she is not a friend if she thinks saying sorry is all it takes to rectify the situation. She needs to know you will now need to subject your mare to the shot and/or whatever other exam/procedures are needed to make certain this dalliance doesn't result in an unwanted foal. She needs to pay that bill. She also needs to either re-work her fence or pay for you to increase the security of yours. And...she needs to know about the injury to your gelding and how this time it wasn't serious...but it sure could have been.
Now...will she likely pay that bill? Probably not without you having to get ugly about it...but by at least making sure she is aware of these consequences...she will have no excuse for not doing whatever it takes to keep the little marauder on her own property.
If he gets on your place again...either pen him and make him come get him...or call animal control. Harsh maybe...but she is going to cause injury to someone or their horses by her negligence. |
