Aren’t you telling someone how to post on social media yourself? I understand your point you’re trying to make but it’s hypocritical to tell someone how to post online then get mad when someone does the same to you.

I haven’t meant to say how she can post on her personal FB page. Of course, she is free to say anything about anyone at anytime. But you can’t then claim to be surprised when you have a less than stellar reputation by others.

Less than stellar reputation by few. And I’ve come to realize I can’t make everyone like me.

There likely is, but you’d be too impaired to read it.

Would anyone else like to know what material Kasheare’s shovel is made of? I’ve worn a few out working in my garden over the years. That one seems to be able to stand up to heavy use.

You can just call me by my name after all it was mentioned above. Just call me Kate

Why? Your name here is Kasheare. If you wanted to be called Kate you could have made your COTH name Kate.
But whatever your name (and I don’t care!) thank you for the most excellent entertainment you have provided. It has allowed me to relax and procrastinate this holiday instead of overachieving. I’ll be able to return to work next week relaxed and amused

Glad that someone felt the need to post about me, and that it was humorous to you. Hopefully this is not the norm for you as that’s a pretty nasty trait finding joy in making fun of others.

Actually, I find it abhorrent that someone posted about you. I am not a fan of threads that seem to have a nasty streak at their root. Go back to my very first post on this thread where I scolded another poster for victim blaming.
Then the thread got a bit interesting in regards to breeding and horses in general.
Then it got ridiculous and entertaining.
Again, thank you for providing holiday cheer in the form of entertainment! Much appreciated!

Also- I don’t know if we need a new thread- I am fascinated with ixe (icsi, sorry my autocorrect will always put ixe so everyone knows). We tried it with our GP mare with Cornet Ob, and sadly didn’t get a good enough grade to move forward.
If it was mentioned upthread- I apologize. Are the mares all KWPN harness line? I don’t know enough about the harness lines. I was wondering if you had a good success rate, do you get enough embryos to store or are all the embryos implanted?
This may be better on the breeding forum, but when people are looking at lines etc- I think getting knowledge about the process (In this case how KS - you are doing it) on the broader forums is helpful.

Hi I’m not really into forums. Only reason I’m here is because someone from the Kwpn registery let me know it was posted. Anyways I’m more than welcome to share all my experiences and success and failure rates! I’m waiting on a cornet oblensky here due in 2023! And as to my mares all are tuigpaard/gelderlander lines but two of my young ones will go through the keuring to change type next year So they will still have the same lines but hopefully will end up in the jumper book. As some have mentioned above my personal horses look nothing like what people see as harness because the old blood didn’t look anything like the new stuff out there. But they are sane and sound and make elastic and athletic foals. And I can breed them to hot hot stallions and still get reasonable babies.

And yes the foal that was reserve champion best young jumper for all Kwpn keurings this year was Reba’s first foal crop by Halifax. Reba is all harness and gelderlander and her foal went through the jumper book and even won the futurity.

Thanks–Interesting Dr Foss does on site and shipped embryos. I appreciate you rolling with the subject here while it is fresh!

I do know that Dr Foss is not accepting outside created embryos for 2023. So unless you are contracted with him and he is creating the embryos you can’t use his herd for 2023 with outside embryos. At least that is what he told a bunch of us. Just a heads up!

Albeit I co-own some semen straws with someone else who has decided to move her lab work to Pearl in pa. I guess they have been having great results as well but they don’t have a recip herd. For me I want fresh embryos utilized in recip herd for the custom foals I’m booked to create. The moment you freeze you take 10% viability away. But for the most part I’ve been lucky to find recips that people need rehabbed or off their tab for a year and I don’t mind freezing and using them then. I think the recip lease for 2023 is $4300 for dr Foss and that doesn’t include the vet work etc.

And I do have my ogano sitte in a mare up in Washington with someone. We used a lab out there that was brilliant. But at most once you thaw an embryo you have max 12 hours to get into a mare so when you start shipping things all over you run into weather/plane delays and you can only insure the embryo for cost to create (and it’s expensive) not cost it could be if it were to make a live foal. So you do want whichever lab you use who freezes to be closer to you. It’s best to have the lab that freezes be the one that unfreezes as they all do things a little different. That being said once you hit 42 days of pregnancy you can insure in utero but it’s typically 18-22%. I do this just because most of mine are bought in utero so to recover at least some costs.
