Since my Jasper is a rescue basically, and a small standard is there a possibility to have him registered? I know nothing of his background, who sire and dam are at all. Not really even sure he is 6 years old but was interested in registering. Why? Heck I don't know just thought about it and...

I know it's been a while since I've posted but have been lurking around when I can!   when I first got my mini I came here to ask questions and I loved all of the help everyone gave me. But now I have a few more questions!   First one is: I was told that minis only needed a good grass hay...

My mini stud's feet are so dry that when I was checking them and pushed on the frog the tip of it broke off! Just like a fingernail would if it was chipped. Should I start standing him in a pool of water, or is there a different way of keeping them in better shape? I am also going to start...

Just got a new supposedly mini donkey today but honestly don't think he is a mini. He seems to tall and big to be a mini. He is halter broke only. I shouldnt have taken him but he needed me! His feet look like he hasnt had them done in a long time. His back is boney but has big belly, his sweet...

I have learned so many things from this and other forums. I can't always remember everything and would love to have a list or page to go to when needing certain things like, What vaccines are needed and when. How to measure a mini for height and weight. How and what to feed and or introduce...

I have no idea if ShotGun has had any vaccines and since I cant get him to the vet <no trailer as yet> I want to give them to him my self. I just need to know which ones? What location for each, such as neck or rump etc. I want him to have the Tetanus and West Nile ? But not sure of the...

We finally got the fencing up that I decided to use for his own private place. It is 24x24 with his 8x8 covered stall. Is this big enough for my mini? He is used to having the whole place by his self, back yard front yard etc. But due to evil creeps having poisoned my neighbors dogs I no longer...

Ive seen so many weird and pretty names for the shows horses on here an I was wondering how folks come up with the show names they do? I do realize some try to put the Sire and or Dams name but what is the purpose of this? Ive also heard the name Buckaroo alot. Could someone explain all this...

My pygmy Mama just had her babies........she had a boy, girl and boy! Wow was amazing to watch her and help dry them off. Am so excited at being a *grandma* hehehe I love babies and this is so cooooooool!!

Mini dwarf and mini mare*** I just saw this on craigslist. Wanted to give a heads up for anyone looking for a mini mare. They are also selling a gelded dwarf. Am I wrong in this range of thought for a rescue to charge so much? I do realize they need to make money back, so maybe it is just me.

Ive been cleaning Shotguns feet about once a week or so since I got him back in Nov 08. Ive never really had any problems with him giving me his feet, I do have to say "up" and tug a little bit but not bad. His back feet have always been the hardest to get up but now it has gotten to the point I...

I have a problem and no help. The shelter I am using for Shotguns "stall" is leaking and we are going to have a weeks worth of rain this up coming week. He has been wet before and it did'nt hurt him at all. I just went out and made sure he was wiped down a bit during the day. This last week we...

There is this ranch that offers so much for a family in recreational things. From camping, fishing, target practice, atv riding to horse back riding. all of which my family does on a fairly regular aspect. Plus this ranch is only about 40 miles from me. I would love to hear what every one...

What tools do you use to keep your ranch farm clean so to speak? What tools do you use to clean stalls, surrounding areas etc? Do you have a special tip to help get things done? What do you feel is the best bedding for your stalls? Ive been using straw and its a pain to clean out of ShotGuns...

After reading so many posts on minis being trained to drive and all the handsome minis on the show circuit, I think I would like to try my hand at it. All depends on how expensive the tack is and how hard it will be on my old gimped up body? I figured if I use the bridle he has, it has a 3 1/2...

I have a web page called My Zootoo. It is a way to help your favorite rescue to earn points towards a make over. You can add your pets, horses pictures so they can win pints in the cutest pet contest etc. Please check it out and if your rescue is not listed, see if they will list them...

I would love to start taking ShotGun to schools for younger kids, to old folks homes, to kids who need hospice etc. What should I do to get him ready for this? Any advice would be great please. The only thing I might have a problem with this is when he takes a treat from your hand he tends to...

I need to know about bridles. I have one that came with the saddle pad I got for him. It is a nylon bridle set, the snaffle bit is 3 1/2 inches. But it doesnt have a nose strap or chin strap. The bit actually looks like a driving bit from the pictures Ive seen. Ive never used a snaffle before so...
