I think he is a real cutie! He definitely is eye catching! I am new to minis so I don't know a whole lot about conformation as I was always a hunter/jumper and have never been judged on conformation. If he was my mini, I would make him into a jumper that's what I do with my mini at 4h shows

My mini mare grows a VERY thick coat during the winter and I prefer to let her natural coat grow. She was just recently clipped full body and bridle path for showing, but even if I didn't show her, usually in the middle of spring I like to clip my hairy horses for relief from the hotter temp...

Yes this is Dora from forgotten angels! We adopted her a few months ago as a companion horse and for my 2 1/2 yr cousin who has special needs to ride her. She absolutely loves to ride her and pet her! Then i realized how much fun minis are, so we worked on slimming down and getting in shape, and...

She does not get a whole lot of grain. She is on purina strategy and gets 1/8 of a 3 quart scoop twice a day ( looks like about 1 average sized handful). I just ordered a weefoal test which should be here by early next week. So if things still look on the fence after another round of pics than I...

So, then I am probably not going to go with palpating (male vet, big hands) nor internal ultra sound bc I don't think my vet would have the correct size equipment. How well does external ultra sound work? Anything else I could do to get an accurate answer?

Hello guys! Just wanted to say that I have been noticing that Dora has been laying flat out taking frequent naps in the paddock (it could just be the warmer weather) but multiple times a day. She also seems to lose interest in eating her hay and usually when she sees food, it's gone before you...

Thank you very much everyone that replied back!!! I am extremely happy and relieved to be part of this forum. everyone is so nice and considerate and patient about my newness to the mini world and babys! lol. I will do another round of pictures over the weekend. I am really looking forward to if...

Ok here goes the pictures! Please let me know if i need to retake anything. Today, there seems to be more "mass" protruding from her right sideverses the left. And when I went to feel for movement, she wasnt too happy with me touching her sides. Thanks, Melissa

Thank you both. I will get pictures later today ( on iPhone right now). That's why I'm coimg here for answers, because she doesn't seem like she is 11 months pregnant. And I don't really know exactly what to look for, so it could just be my imagination that I am seeing and feeling things! She...

Hello, let me explain my situation. I recently adopted a 34" 9yr mini mare from a rescue about 4 months ( right after Christmas). I have been working with her....ground manners, voice commands, lounging, jumping, and plan to start ground driving once I've got the tack. We showed in our first 4h...

84 for Friday

64!

I had a situation when switching to a new feed. It was a name brand feed and I believe it was a senior feed. Anyway, I started to notice little "foamy" clusters start to appear all in my feed bin. Looking closer, I noticed they were colonies of little yellow bugs! And millions! I immediately...

I use pet head extreme mantainance leave in conditioner. I actually found it at Walmart in the pet section, it comes is a pink tube and has a nice smell. It leaves my minis mane extremely soft and easy to work with. For shine, I just use show sheen. Show sheen works great for making my minis...

Thank you both! I wanted to try to avoid using a twitch but I don't think there is any other option. I will see what I have that I can use to rig up a twitch. And thanks for the suggestion on the use of a regular halter in performance classes!
