I have not posted pictures of my new filly. She was born 4/27 at 7:30 AM, I just love a considerate mare!! She looks like a bay but I think she will change (now there's a surprise!) Her mom is black and her dad is a seal brown roan. I am hoping she will roan but so far nothing! I am naming...

I came home form work and found my stallion standing strangely. When I went to him, he almost fell over. He had recently had a runny nose so I had kept him in an a small paddock for about a week but he never coughed or ran a fever. Today was the first time he was out in his larger pen. He...

My mare is so ready to foal and when I just checked her she is having a purple colored discharge that is slick and thick. I have not seen this before and wonder if anyone knows what this might be. She is getting very uncomfortable and just standing in one place. Last night there was a lot of...

This little boy was born last Monday night, April 26, it was a horrible birth and I posted for help and ideas. Thank you all so much for your encouragement and ideas. He is doing so much better and I wanted to show him to you all. His name is Black Ridge Tight Squeeze and I call him Titan. I...

Monday my maiden mare finally went into labor. she was 345 days. I knew her vulva was small but expected it to elongate. It did not so there was a 3 inch opening for the foal to come through. Imagine trying to pull a basketball through a key hole. The mare gave up after a few pushed and just...

Recently I read about a forum member with a new foal being lethargic and the vet gave the foal something to revive it. What was it??? I am putting my foal kit together and wanted to include this and my old mind has let it slip! My mind is rather leaky these days! Can someone remember what I...

I am just so pleased to have these two boys alive and healthy. One was a red bag the other was distocia with one leg bent back. I was there for both and able to get them out safely. PTL! Here they are, one a black minimal pinto and one a smokey black (I think!) Black Ridge Delia's Legacy...

Is this an inherited trait or developemental? Is seems to twist at the fetlock joint. She isn't lame or anything but it is noticeable. Has anyone else seen this in their minis?

I am looking for a harness for my mini which I will use for pleasure not showing. Where i live there are hills. Some of the harnesses I see don't have breeching, do I need that for the hills? Also what about the cups for the end of the shafts? What do they do and do I need them?

I am so upset. My rottie chased down a deer and killed it last night. I heard the ruckus just at dark and went to investigate. I had seen two deer cutting through the pasture earlier. Titan is 2years old and I have had him a year. He has been good and loves the horses especialy the babies...

Has any one had experinece with the Wee Foal pregnancy test? Is is accurate? Would you recommend it? The vets around here have a hard time ultrasounding my minis. I want to know it a mare I bought is pregnant or not. Where do you buy them and what is the cost? Thanks.

My filly was down this morning and I checked her temperature. It was 105!! Her mother is in heat and she has been having some diarrhea but seemed to be fine. Today when I cleaned her there was some blood. I callled thew vet and he gave me some Amforol to give her every 8 hours. Her temp was...

Does anyone out there know anything about the dog breed Shiba Inu? I saw one and have fallen love but want to talk to someone that has one. Thwe one I saw was at a pet store. (yech!) Someone recently stole my JRT and I miss her so much. I promised my husband I wouldn't get another Jack but...

My mares were pasture bred before I bought them so I am really guessing on due dates. It would help if I knew how large the fetus is at different months of gestation. Have I seen some type of chart or pictures to show this on the forum? Anyone have any ideas where I could look to find this...

As you may know I got 2 donkeys (see avatar) from Shawna and they are still stand offish. It has been so cold I am giving them time. But I needed to worm them! I didn;t want to tramatize them so I wasn't sure how to do it. Maybe you have all heard of this but it was news to me. I fed the...

I am rather new to the forum and I want everyone to know how great I think it is. :saludando: Last week i posted a question about making mini blankets, not only did I get input, Kathy at minisaremighty sent me a brand new pattern. Thank you, Kathy! You are the greatest. :aktion033...

I have read on here from various people tht you use a shop vac to clean the horses. That sounds like a steller idea to me. I am looking but I need to know what HP to get. I don't want to scare the poor darlings to death with sucking their hair off. They range from 2.5 to 6. Is the more...

I have some time on my hands with cold weather and I was thinking I might try to make some blankets for my minis. Does anyone do this? Is is worth the time and effort and where did you find a pattern? If you make them any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Donna :
