It has been forever since I have been on here, but this is the best place I know of to get the best answer..... I have a mini mare that is pregnant and due sometime in the next month or so. I just went out to feed for the night and she has lots of eye boogers on one side and snot running out of...

I know she doesn't have any hay on the property. She lives in a mobile home and there are no outbuildings or any where else to store it there. The excuse of not being able to get a hold of her hay guy is very unbelieveable. There are hay rounds EVERYWHERE down here, most farms are getting at...

I just moved into my neighborhood 4 months ago and have been watching this get worse. I have a neighbor with big horses that are getting severely underweight. The horses got thru their fence today and were on my property eating. I just let them eat....there are 5 of them. They are being kept on...

It sounds similar to what I have been dealing with on my mare that I rescued. At first, her hooves looked similar to the pictures on the link (after getting trimmed a few times, her feet were severely overgrown). She didn't have the crumbly white material coming out of her hoof. The farrier...

She's a pretty little thing! She does look kinda "fluffy" LOL

I got my little mare, Gypsy, out of a bad situation last July. It took me hours, but I talked the girl who owned her into selling her to me. She was barely able to stand, her feet were so bad. She was skinny and needed alot of TLC. We have been getting her feet back under her and treating a bad...

Well a ton has gone on since I have last been on the forum. First of all, we moved from the Seattle, Washington area to south of Dallas, Texas! We are loving it here. We bought 11 acres and my Cooper couldn't be happier. It was a blast traveling with him and we even have pics of him in every...

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. IT WORKED! He turned down hill right before my eyes. It was scary! I am just glad I realized what happened and I was home. We just got home from Texas a few days ago. My brother-in-law would not have been able to handle this if it had happened 3 days...

Well. I have a long night ahead of me. Cooper seemed okay at first. He is pretty sick. Vet has been here for the last 2 hours. Just taking a second to collect myself.......

Cooper got the latch open to the feed room! He, of course, got the lid off of the grain storage and ate what I would guess to be around 10lbs of Platform mini feed! I have a call in with the vet, but no response yet. He is uncomfortable, but he has pooped 2x in the last hour & keeps passing...

Thank you for everything you have done for those amazing creatures. You are truely their angel. Please keep us informed about how we can continue to help. I cannot WAIT to see what that woman has coming to her I wish we could show her the same care and consideration she has shown those...

I am looking for a more experienced care team for my new mini. I am just not comfortable with some the answers I have gotten from my current vet. And I am obviously looking for someone who is familiar with minis. Is there anyone that you would recommend? I am looking to have Cooper's shots...

Okay. I thought I had a white mini. I have been working on shedding him out and the last two days have finally been BEAUTIFUL here. I gave him a bath today, so I can maybe think about clipping him. WELL.....the spots I thought were dirt, were...well,spots. But really light ones. The hairs are...

Thanks for the kind words! I know he is a bit overweight, thats why a few weeks ago I posted about feeding him. He still acts like I am starving him. His old owners threw out 2 bales of hay a day to feed 10 horses on 10 acres. So I had no idea what to start feeding him. It is cute now though...

I really had issues with my 20+ boy at shows due to this, so I would geld him for showing reasons. Also, I could NOT show a Stallion in any youth classes. SO it's your call, but I'd do it. My Midnight has only bred a few mares, back likely 20 years ago! (We got him a 5 years old and he hasn't...

Okay......I think it would be really fun to put him in a show. But I have never shown before. And I am new to the mini horse obsession. I have only had him for a month. These first 2 pics were taken the day before I went to go look at him, they were emailed to me from his previous owner. I felt...

Thank you for all your input....I definately didn't think about the mares at a horse show, if I decide to try that. It would be alot easier with a gelding. He is an only horse (with a goat!) so that is why I wasn't concerned about the living arrangements at home. It makes me feel better about...

I didn't get any papers with him. I wasn't concerned about that, he is my first mini. She did say his name was something long....something that had "low rider" in it. She told me that the owner before her had show/drove him extensively. But she bought him as a toy for her kids. So if ther was...

He is 28" tall. And he looks to be around 15 years old. I am not sure about the local mini clubs around me. He is my first mini...and I've only been hooked for a month now! What is WCMHR??

I called my vet to inquire about gelding the little stallion I bought a month ago. The receptionist gave me the impression that he was too old. She said "Wow...he's been a stallion along time. Um....let me see if we can do this" and put me on hold. That worried me. About the vet AND the matter...
