Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Some People Really P*ss me Off!!!
I need to vent so hear goes. I have gone through some of the stages of grief and now I am at ANGRY. Earlier today (at 6:30am) I was awoken by the sounds of one of our ponies making quite a racket. Running around and whinnie noises all over the place.
I got up to find that mamma pony had sometime between 3:30am and 6:30am gotten out of our pasture, and baby was not happy.
I went for a drive looking for her. I walked to the neighbors houses looking for her. I went to the local store thinking someone had maybe seen her. No luck, so I left a note on the counter for anyone who might see her to please call me. This was 7am.
At 8:15am I decided to take baby for a walk to see if he could find mamma. I was a 1/4 mile from the house when he found her. On the side of the road in a ditch. Needless to say I was very very upset. Someone had hit her with their car and didn't even stop.
I know this is partially MY fault, because she did get out of my yard/field.
What I don't understand is that how does someone NOT see a pony on the road. She is not that hard to see. It was not on a blind corner or anything like that. I still am upset and sad. But I am also VERY VERY angry.
This is not the first time one of my animals has been hit on the road where I live. The first time it was my 13 year old german shepard who was standing at the end of my driveway and someone swerved (on purpose into my driveway) to hit her.
Thanks for letting me vent, I was very upset.

I understand how someone hit a pony. I don't understand how someone didn't stop. I've stopped for bunnies before. Sorry about your pony.

Hi, Unfortunately I am no longer surprised by the heartless actions of some human beings. We can only hope these people get what they deserve.
I'm very sorry about your Dog and now your Pony
Sincerely,Rob

I'm going to be honest, if I rounded a turn and your dog was in the road, and I couldn't stop in time, I would hit it. I would not swerve to miss it, though, as dog X's life is not worth risking my own. However, people who swerve to hit an animal are not only sick, they are stupid. A mid sized dog can break a radiator. I can't imagine a vehicle other than a dumptruck hitting a pony and not sustaining severe damage. There is really nothing you can say about people who would do that.

I'm so sorry! This happened to a friend awhile back, fortunately, hers was a gelding and not trying to raise a baby. Her horse had gotten out of the yard, someone's fault, as they didn't shut the gate when they left, and someone hit him. This was a BIG horse too, 16 hands something, and they didn't stop. Thankfully the other horse that escaped with him wasn't hit. I really hate this for you, hopefully the baby will be ok with out his mamma around.
