Hanson farm in Bridgewater was getting a trailer of first cut in today. Going to see how it is.

Hi, Could anybody explain to me, the difference between 1st and 2nd cut hay? Is it o.k. to feed mini's 1st cut? That seems to be all I can find right now, I am getting my mini's this weekend and need to buy some hay quick. Thanks

Hi, I am not familiar with the shetland breed. Would anyone know the approximate weight of a 11.3 hand shetland gelding? Also is a twenty year old shetland to old to purchase for a beginner? What is there average life span? Does anyone have a pic of there shetland around the same size that they...

Thank you everybody for your input. I think all of you are correct. Definately a lack of leadership in his life. Plus being a stallion! I feel so bad for this little guy, he looks so sad and lonely. I also found out that he needs to have his feet done, and teeth. So I'm kind of getting the idea...

Just curious what a reasonable price to have a mini shipped about 125 miles one way would cost. Ball park figure anyone!

Are these all the horses that cmhr has for rescues? Are there more pending to be ready for adoption? Thanks

Where are you located? Maybe someone from this forum is close to you and can help. Pictures may help the forum also, to try and see what's happening. I don't have my mini yet, but these people on this site are incredibly informative. Wish you the best

In regards to minimor response. This is basicly what I seem to be running into. I can not seem to find anyone willing to sell just one. I understand they are herd animals and should not really be alone, but I thought for a short period of time it would be ok. I am really just looking for a...

Yes, I have been reading so much about this on the forum and this is definatley not the route I intend to take. This forum is so helpful in regards to putting things in perspective. Hopefully other newbies will read this also. Thanks
