Looks like a day well spent. Happy Mother's Day!

So Freddie has been here 2 weeks now and has settled in just fine. I thought I'd show some new photos as well! Thanks so much for letting me share. -Kristie

Be careful with wire. My vet and I just solved the mystery of why my beloved Fjordie had inflamed gums that wouldn't heal. Because I've been feeding her hay out of a hay feeder made for goats! She had been raking her mouth over that wire (smooth bars, mind you, just hard) and keeping her...

That is VERY clever and very cool. What kind of ramp do you use, and how do you store it in transport? -Kristie

Thank you! I'll work him to 1/8 cup and see how it goes. -Kristie

He'll let me touch his ears, but he doesn't like it. I was worried that once I took his halter off that I would have trouble getting him to let me put it back on, but thankfully it was not an issue. I'm looking forward to seeing him all shed out as well! -Kristie

So I've got little Freddie now. He's a good weight now, lady I got him from was feeding him HE Hi-fat and hay. I feed my other horses a little flax and would like to for Freddie, too. His tail has been chewed/thinned by something and I think flax could help recondition his coat as well. Do...

Thanks everyone! -Kristie

Beautiful horses and stories you guys. I currently have my all time favorite horse! Izzy is a coming 7 year old Fjord and I've had her since she was a weanling. I've trained her myself and though she's far from perfect, I'm very proud of her and love her very much. -Kristie

I haven't been on this forum in a LOOOONG time. Not sure if anyone even remembers me, but I used to have a mini mare and mini donkey that I would post about now and again. I needed to downsize a few years back and gave them away to a great home. Since I have been down to only two big horses...

I don't post here often, but some of you may remember me posting about my mini mare, Sugar, a couple of months ago. I let her get too skinny over the winter and her crest collapsed. I wanted to share some updated photos of her. Not tooting my horn here, as it's my fault she got into bad...

Thank you all for the nice comments. -Kristie

Izzy, my Fjord pony. This was probably a bad idea.... Friend or Foe? Thanks for letting me share. -Kristie

I don't know if you remember but I posted about my mini, Sugar, a month or so ago. I let her get way too skinny over the winter and her crest collapsed. She is looking better. Still not where I want her to be by a longshot, but I understand putting on weight takes time. One of my...

I love the smell of orchard grass hay. -Kristie
