I'm here in MO. It seems like out here we're always "cheaper" or "behind the times" than on either coast. There is a guy here that is very known for his minis and he stands his for less than $200 and one was shown. I know a very big name in the mini world that has bred to him and shown those...

Well, what exactly is meant with what is "in"? Are you talking about the latest "trend" or "fancy" that is popular at the time? Do you mean like a more "stock type" may be popular for so many years then the "arab type" the next ? Ok, I'll start with my first guy. His picture is to the side...

Gotcha. My vets do it for $12.00 per horse per "load". That doesn't matter if it is a camel or horse or pony or mini or donkey. I've had it done for horses that I rescued or the worming was unkown and if it may be playing a part as a possible problem to signs the horse was exhibiting. I...

Hi I'm new to minis . What is the average on stud fees? Where do they start? I know show record commend higher fees and proven stallions as well. What is the highest you've seen on them? What about backyard pet stallions? What are mare care costs? Wet? Dry? I'm trying to figure out what...

After the prices of gas went up I had to quit my job because of the commute and not getting the money I needed. I also just had a baby and the extra cost of childcare and gas made it to where I may be only making $400 a month. It doesn't make sense and is not worth the stress. I had a 85...

Ok, What is an FEC? Amber

Is there a place where the public and gathered photos of mini horses ? With the Arabians we have places you can find and request old photos and such of horses. It is a database of sorts and soooo helpful and neat. That is it is free. Is there something like that? And they usually have all...

I have a stallion linebred to Candy's Warrior AMHR 28506A. I'm curious about his background and phenotype. Anyone know of this horse? Thanks, Amber

Well I guess his previous owner was mistaken. Well, the stallion I have is JPF Zumart AMHA #A 65017. He is also AMHR #83989A and name Bare Hoof Zumart. I guess he couldn't have his original name with the AMHR that he has with AMHA. Odd. Supposedly he has some offspring somewhere. I'm...

Hi, I'm researching my stallion and can't find info about his relations or where he was bred. He is a 1994 model. Is Jackpot Farms still in existence? Anyone heard of Pates Golden Autumn or JPF Makin Majic? Thanks, Amber in MO

Hello all! I might as well join in. I joined last night. To the other MO newbie I'm in Stover. I trim some horses near Clinton in Calhoun, MO. I'm a Natural Hoof Care Farrier and 1/2 my clients are minis. I ended up buying a mini hoof jack! I've been working with minis for about 8 yrs at...

Hi all, I'm new here. I'm a Natural Hoof Care farrier and have been getting bombarded by these such issues especially with minis and mini donkeys. So I took on a 36 inch mini for a "project" whom is the first horse I've ever gotten a cresty neck off of. Doing all the right things such as...
