Hi - I just thought all the mini donkey fans would bs interested in this mini donkey rescue effort in BC Canada. http://turtlevalleydonkeyrefuge.webs.com/apps/donations/

Here is the link to where I bought mine -http://www.petedge.com/product/Home-Kennel/Cleanup/Waste-Removal-Yards/Flexrake-Large-Poop-Scoop-wAluminum-Handle/pc/194/c/225/sc/430/44040.uts it's the one on the left in the picture, it seems to be the same one shown above --- Ha! I love that we all...

I got really tired of having difficulty picking up mini "muffins" in any semi grassy area - the manure fork kept getting hung up in grassy bits etc.... So I saw this industrial sized dog doodoo picker upper, one meant for kennel businesses. It has and 11x9x3 tray on a long handle and a small...

It really helps to find someone who can show you where everythings goes, but if that is not possible there is a great dvd put out by smoke in motion - called Harness Up - shows what every piece is for and where it goes AND how it should fit properly. If you can get a few lessons under your belt...

OK yah - that should have been my first thought - to contact the vet who did the first Xrays! I guess I just get so used to doing things myself out here. I'll let you know what he says.

So I am so please with my Bo, the gelding whose hip was dislocated a yr ago last December, he has started to used the affected leg to support wieght, the leg moves more normally ie: flexing at the joints when he walks instead of just being swung forward stiffly. Now to the part I would like...

The deer here go into the horses field regularly and usually the boys just ignore them. Yesterday Pistol must have decided he didn't want them in "his" field. I watch him standing on alert watching the deer and then he stomped up and chased them out! Those deer were so surprised!LOL!

Boy would I have love to get her together with my Bo once upon a time... They would make a great looking team - here's bo before his hip accident - they would have made a great pair.

Interesting topic - I have had the Parelli CDs and switched to Anderson. They both had good points and information. I also found a fellow here in BC - Jonathan Fields and really like his approach, I learned something from all of them but the best thing I ever did was to go to a Natural...

Buddy is a great name esp if he answers to it. I end up calling all 3 of mine Mister most of the time and they all answer to it!LOL

Hey! Is that you Lori - I've been meaning to e-mail you an update - yes Pistol is doing great and he is a very good boy, gets along with the 2 amigos very well now. Have had him out driving even with our crazy schedule. Will get out in this great weather more now with the season winding down...

Hi all - have not been on the board for quite a while, busy with the farm and my mini boys. Just thought I would give an update on my gelding Bo who suffered a dislocated hip last winter. He is doing amazingly well, is staying balanced and in shape with careful exersize and watching his diet...

Just a quick question. What should night temps be so clipped minis don't get cold?

Hi and welcome-- I am also new to minis, have had mine for 6 months - this forum has been a gold mine of information. Took me three days to read thru everything on minicare etc but was well worth it! You'll find info and answers on practically everything.

Just thought I would post how my gelding Bo with the dislocated hip is progressing. He has found his balance, so to speak, walks using the dislocated leg even though he does not put too much wieght on it. I have noticed he puts a litlle more on it every week. Yesterday I was cleaning his...
