Help! I have a 10 week old mini mule that keeps getting out of our pasture . We've added barbed wire, electric fence, tried temporarily putting him in a corral and he gets out. I have 7 acres. His mother doesn't seem to care that he's wandering. I am completely stressed out about it. I have...

I was afraid of that. I'm not sure if I'll keep him though. Maybe after they're both gelded I can put them together.

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice. My mini mule (Max) is going on 7 weeks and desperately wants to be in the big pasture with my mini colt/ stallion (who's 18 months) and my mini jennet who's 14 months. So far I've kept Max and his mom separate. At what age should i attempt them to all...

Lilly is BEAUTIFUL!

Oh Renee! I am so sorry!!! I'm so heartbroken for you! When we lost our foal last February all I could think was I never want to breed my horses again, although I knew we had one more to go. It is the worst thing to go through. I was terrified of the next one delivering. I understand your...

Is your baby doing better?

I feel your pain! Pretty sure mine was post dates. Prayers for a healthy delivery!

Question: my newborn mule is already nibbling grass at 1 day. I've read that they don't do this until around 1 week. He seems to be nursing well and energetic. Should I be worried? I've found nothing online to say if this is ok.

We named him Maximilian, "Max".

Any news yet? I can't wait to see pics of your new baby. :)

Maybe "Mac". Not sure yet. Mother's name is Molly. Also thought of Snickers, haha.

We FINALLY have a baby! Baby boy (mule) born at 0740!

Its crazy how long they can carry in comparison to another mare. Sometumes I think she'll never deliver, it's just an illusion haha. Driving me nuts!
