You made a correct decision in finding Jack a new home. BUT, the new owner should NOT use him at stud. He should be neutered so that he cannot pass along his genetic tendencies to others. ~Julie~

Carolyn this is a sad story. You are in a difficult postion but your husband needs your support. Sometimes we need to do things for other people, especially for our loved ones, that are not what we really want to do. Don't feel that the "special things" you have done for him mean nothing. He...

I don't have any miniature horses yet, so I call these two my little horses for now. They are both Rough Collies, on the left is my sable and white girl, Twister, 6, and on the right is my blue merle male, Billy, 4. ~Julie~

Sorry, Jess, for hijacking your post. You all have such great knowledge, I'm trying to find out as much as I can from all of you. I've reposted my question as a new topic. ~Julie~

I asked this question somewhere else, but will try it here as a new topic...

HELP- NEWBIE QUESTION! Can you Jess, and anyone else please explain the dry lot vs. grass to me? I'm setting up for two minis next year. I have two separate areas, one with barn and fenced grassed field around the barn, about 100' x 100' and another area which is large grassy/weedy field...

I will be buying two minis in the spring or early summer. I'd like a gelding and a filly, since I'm just starting out, I've decided that might be best. Hopefully there are sellers, like all of you, who have great horses at that time. I'd prefer someone in the mid to Northern Ontario area, so...

Well I am confused! : I asked a question a few weeks ago about keeping horses in a field with only a run-in shed and not putting them away in a barn at night. Many people said they do this. So, wouldn't they be able to eat the grass in the morning, with frost on it, if they are just outside...

This is not meant to criticize, just to inform. Although switching off power to an electrical fire is a good thing to do, electrical fires should not be put out with water since they can cause electrocution. Everyone should have a good working fire extinguisher at the door(s) to their barn...

Sorry for my ignorance but what is a dry lot as compared to an area around the run-in? ~Julie~

Thanks for the couple of answers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOPS, forgot to ask... how many square feet per mini in the fenced in area? Jill- your place looks great under the trees. ~Julie~

Hi! Would anyone know of a place on the internet that has plans for a 3 1/2 sided mini shelter? I need to know the size, specifially height at front and back (roof with slant to back) and the inside dimensions that would be good for 2 or 3 minis. I've looked in books, and on the web, but...

Wow, congratulations! I got teary eyed looking at your photos, you are blessed! Hope he is everything you want. ~Julie~

Thanks for the responses! :bgrin Further question... I have read not to have just one horse, they need companions, so if I get a gelding, should it be two geldings? Is any age preferrable? ~Julie~

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and... Here's my next question. I am hoping to get at least two minis, hopefully by next spring. What should I start out with? So many decisions! If YOU were starting out, and just wanted a few, probably no more than four at a time, what would YOU...

Thanks everyone for all the welcomes! I can't believe the number of messages on this board, how do you all keep up? I should have mentioned that I live in Ontario, Canada. I have two Rough Collies and a Lab, whom are my current "minis." I've done obedience and dog shows and hope to get a...

Hello I just became a member here. I've checked out lots of the old posts and lots of people's websites. I have been looking into getting miniature horses for a couple of years and want to do everything correctly. I also have a hundred questions and would appreciate it if some of you could...
