Thanks Sunny/Judy for answering my original questions. Now I know which classes I can show my little filly in!

What classes can a yearling filly be shown in? I understand there is a height rule of 32 inches for yearlings as to what division, A or B, they can be shown in, correct? I am a beginner in the show world so any pointers would be appreciated!

Now sure who is the cutest - your mini or her handler! Adorable pair!

MA - I couldn't agree with you more about the new Mom thing! To top it off, yesterday this little guy gets a deep 6-8 inch cut down his butt, right along side his tail. Borderline stitches type cut. Went with the WonderDust and now constant tlc. Looks just awful! I shall tell you, this...

I do cold turkey also. I agree, when our foals are about 3 months old, both Mama and baby are just as happy, Mama alone and baby with new a new buddy or two his/her age! I've had aged horses that go through a heck of alot more stress just being separated from their favorite pasturemate! : I...

Thanks very much Nathan! I was kind of thinking the same thing. Now I can rest easy! Can you tell this little guy is my favorite! :bgrin

It is thicker, but more on the white side. Like I said, he is really good for a few day, then it comes back, then goes away for a couple days, then comes back...

Have a weanling colt with a runny nose, but otherwise is healthy as a horse! Eats, drinks, poops, plays, runs. No cough or no wheezy breathing, no fever. Treated with a round of antibiotics, no change. This has been going on now for about 4 weeks. Any thoughts you care to share would be...

Nope, its not his umbilical stump. Closer to his sheath opening. Real jiggly, almost like a bubble. Does not seem to bother him at all. ???

Just got my new colt home today and I notice he has a small bump, maybe the size of a nickel, right in front of his privates opening, is this a hernia? Ironically enough, after all these years have not had one of these in the past. : If that is what it is, now what?? Thanks!!!

You guys know everything! So I am asking you to share! :bgrin Have found several mini and shetland tack stores, this may be just a bit taller pony than these two breeds. Would GREATLY appreciate any thoughts/ideas. Thanks so much!

Thanks everyone! My daughter kept reminding me that it is the one month mark that turns them into people lovers! I guess I just forget that from foaling year to foaling year! Just need to be reassured! I agree with what each of you has said! Suzie - thanks for relaying the story about your...

First of all, my new foals is 10 days old, she is the most un-friendly foal I can remember having in years! :no: We imprinted her at birth, touched, rubbed, petted her all over from head to toe immediately, she didn't like it then and she doesn't like it 10 days later! I continue to try and...

:aktion033: Congratulations! What a beautiful filly! Enjoy!

:aktion033: Way, way cool!! I love showing at open shows with the mini's. I find it especially fun to compete against the "big" guys"! Way to go!!
