My very first mini, who is now 18, at 3 years of age when he was getting his new teeth, his bite went off about 1/2 a tooth and stayed like that and he is not a dwarf. He has been shown AMHR and done well at Nationals.

Yes, I have clipped them before in April(not the filly as this was her first winter, she was clipped last summer) and have never had this problem. I have double K clippers and sharpened blades, and they looked great after the clip, but her coat has actually thinned out and is not growing. I...

I have a yearling filly that I clipped out in April and a couple of weeks later she went to a trainer for a month. Also, in February she had some warts. When she came home 2 weeks ago she had not grown any hair back and what did come back was very prickly. She is a sorrel pinto and her hair is...

I saw Einstein on the Today show and I do not think he is a dwarf.

I have wondered about this also. I have a mare out of Sweetwaters Overa Diplomat a miminally marked overo and she has all the characteristics of a frame overo, except no white on her face. She has a large circular spot on one side that goes under her belly and up onto her other side, with 4...

Congratulations on a beautiful colt. Glad everything went well. I can't wait to see him.

I have a coming yearling that has developed tiny warts around her eyes, is there anything you advise to get rid of them? She is going to be shown and don't think warts would be very attractive in the show ring. I had a yearling a few years ago and he developed a couple on his lip, but they went...

My farm is called "Irish Roots Miniatures", because my Husband was born in N.Ireland.

I don't disagree with you rethinking of selling your horses to them, but I would sit down and try to really find out what they are doing with the horses. Just because they are going to Pakistan does not mean they will be treated bad or negelected. You can sell your horses to people here in the...

How many have recieved their April Journal? I called AMHR today and they said they just recieved theirs today at noon, so ours should be coming soon.

I haven't even received my Journal yet!

Hi, I think your mare needs more groceries, as she is very thin to be carring a foal.

I was wondering if anyone knows what a full size horses round pen size should be. My daughter has a 2 yr. old quarter horse and I told her I would ask if anyone knows from the forum. I know some of you show big horses too. Thank you for the information.
