Just like any other breed of horse, the prices vary. It depends on area and registry, as well. You might find a bargain, due to an urgent dispersal or unregistered due to breeders breeding irresponsibly, or auction. Lots of rescues, etc. But a responsible breeder will have proper farrier trims...

Hi, We just rewrapped Daphne's leg. It has beeen 6.5 weeks and the swelling is all gone! Her leg is looking straight except for the bump where the sore is on the side of her fetlock. That is healing, though slowly. But it looks healthy. I'm sure it will heal fast once it no longer needs to be...

Thanks. That is yet another great idea. I don't consider it Veterinary advice. Just good helpful ideas.

Thanks everyone for offers of encouragement and suggestions. Please note: I never actually asked for advice on what to do about this little mare. I only asked if anyone had dealt with a broken fetlock and for ideas of a good support as a transition from her splints. I did not ask anyone on...

Thank you to everyone with some great suggestions. Unfortunately I am unable to reply to the PMs. I just can't figure out how to get them to go out as it says I have no friends. LOL. I was able to read them but the replies won't go. To answer a few of the questions: The sore was caused by...

Hi, After recent losses and a nightmare dealing with the Vet clinic, I was pretty much glad they didn't have time to see Daphne. It is a long painful drive for her and once splinted up and over the shock, she was comfortable. In five weeks she only needed pain meds one day. That was a week...

Hi, Just Daphne, a sweet little 28 yr old Miniature Horse mare, broke her fetlock. She was standing on the side of it with her foot flopping to the side when I found her. We started off splinting her just to make her more comfortable for the last trip to the Vet as they were too busy to come...

I recieved my wonderful Secret Santa gifts! Thank you so much Vanessa! When I saw the note saying I could open it early, I needed no more urging! haha. First, I opened the wonderful picture of our dear departed Henry. I just love it! I will watch for just the right frame for it. He was such a...

Hi, I know that eating pine needles will cause cows to abort. Our place is covered in pine trees & I constantly rake up needles but I'm sure they must eat lots of them as I ca't keep up. My minis don't seem to have a problem as far as I can see, though.

I got my Secret Santa gift. I thought I should wait til Christmas, but I only managed to let it torture me for a few hours. haha. Wow! What a great gift! I just love everything!. There is a colourful slinky hood, which is exactly what I have been really needing. I will definitely get a lot of...

Wow! I know I will be thrilled with whatever surprise my Secret Santa brings! I would especially love something horse oriented. If Santa makes stuff like slinkies, etc, I could sure use one. I have a large collection of minis including lots of geriatric & special needs, so any size of horse...

Please include me! I'm so glad I checked today. I saw no mention of it when I looked last time. I was disappointed that I missed out last year. October is a busy month for us so I don't get much time on the computer. It is snowing like crazy & I am madly trying to make blankets for those that...

Please add my site. Thanks! Joanne minis4me http://seabloom.freeyellow.com BC, Canada

Hi Jenny, Thanks for looking. Have a great day! Joanne

Hi, Sorry, I meant maybe ASPC on the dam's side? Shady Lady isn't Appaloosa. The sire, Comanche Chief is Appy but I have no idea if through Falabella, POA or Appaloosa background. My stallion, V's Spotted Fever's Grandam, Vickie could be non Appy as well. I think there must be some nice...
