Congrats! What a cutie!

Congrats! He is a very handsome boy.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Today we made a lot of progress. I think it is a case of she just needs to settle in and get used to her surroundings and me. She is starting to come up to me every time I go into the paddock now. I am just working with her comfort zone and building trust. She was...

Just got my horses last Wednesday and they are doing good. What I have noticed is the gelding who has been shown has so much more patience and tolerance for everything. From touching his feet to catching him and haltering everything is a breeze. He begs for attention! Now the mare who was not...

I think I needed to relax more than the horse's! Drive home went good, getting them out of the trailer went awesome, eating and pooping and settled in. I have taking things slow letting them get used to everything. Haltered them both and have led them around. The mare needs a little patience...

Thanks for the calming words. The loose stool seems to have cleared up this morning already. Did my first poop pick up and I found nice little horsie apples! I think they made it through the night better than me. I woke up twice and had to check on them. Lol They were doing their little horsey...

I hear you on that one! My breeder was wonderful. She put up with most of my newbie questions and worries. So the ponies are home and seem to be settling in good. They are peeing and pooping! I did notice that the mare Latte's poop was a little on the runny side . Best way to describe it is soft...

Thanks everyone! I am just glad I got my bases covered so if something does happen at least I have stuff on hand. What ulcer treatment do you use? I saw a few of them when I was at the store, thought about it and didn't get it. Darn! I think I will just keep on eye on the water buckets and urine...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am probably over thinking everything. I am a worrier to no end! Nervous first time horse owner. Lol Got some probiotics and electrolytes today while out shopping. So feeling like I got my bases covered. Now they can just get here, get settled so I can stop...

Congrats! That's awesome!

Thanks for the advice so far. That's exactly where I am, excited to the point of being a nervous wreck! LOL They are local only about an hour away. This heat we are experiencing is not normal and it just started yesterday, we went from 70's during the day, and 40's during the night, to 90's with...

So my mini's, (3yr old mare and almost two yr old gelding) are getting transported to my house on Wednesday and we are under a heat advisory here in WI for the whole week. Upper 90's and humid, feels like 100 degrees. HOT!!! Not typical WI weather. So I am worried about the horse's being...

So sorry for your loss, you tried so hard to save her.

84 for me today

33 for me!

Very handsome boy! Congrats!

Welcome from a soon to be mini horse owner. I have been learning as much as I can waiting for the arrival of mine the end of this month! Everyone is so knowledgeable here. Again Welcome!

They will be idle pets I guess you could say. I do plan on walking them daily and maybe training the three year old mare on a few jumps but nothing to hard core until next spring when I would like to get them in show shape. So should I feed them now like they are show horses or can this be done...

Wondering how I should feed my minis (3yr old mare and 1yr old gelding) when they arrive. They are due to arrive the end of August. What they are eating at their owners right now is good quality hay and pasture, Now where I live it is very sandy so the pasture they will have is already browning...

So good to see how he has bloomed under your care!
