Thanks! Usually here it is either freezing and wet or warm and wet (although it was nice and warm today!). I prefer geldings myself to though mares are cute too:). I came across a lady (she also owns a mini stud) who makes custom made rugs for minis at good prices so I will get good waterproof...

Thanks for the break down of costs, you don't know how helpful all this info has been! I think trimming over here is about 10-15 euros not sure how much that is in dollars(never was good at math!) We don't get much snow around here only rain, lots and lots of rain! and it doesn't get very cold...

Thank you for your advice, it's been a great help! I will use some of their poop for gardening (both for me and my parents) but will probably remove the rest. I will definitely do daily poop scooping! I like the idea of fencing the paddock in half and giving the other half time to rest, as I...

Just curious but does anyone know of any good studs in the Uk or Ireland, was thinking about showing or driving but for now will be content with a couple of companions ;-)

Congrats, she is adorable!! I've always liked the name "Sweet Dreams". Good luck!! ;-)

Thanks Performancemini!! I live in the west coast of Ireland! I was thinking about making a run and only let them out for a few hours each day (I would give them a haynet to snack on while in the pen) as the grass in the paddock is very lush and green and I don't want them to founder. Would...

I have always wanted to own a couple of minis but have never had enough room until now. I have recently moved into a new house with a small paddock attached it is about 1/4 acre. I have a few questions... 1.) How much grazing do they need? 2.) Should I get a mare/gelding/colt/filly? 3.) How...

Hi, I was thinking about rehoming a rescue mini or shetland. I have a small paddock which is around 1/2 acre, would that be enough? I can build a stable if nescessary. They would be kept as a companion but I was considering doing a bit of natural horsemanship training so they would get...
