I just purchased a bag yesterday to start feeding to my 2 year old mini gelding - i have read excellent reviews - I started him on it last night - seems to like the taste and texture - if all goes well i am planning on keeping him on this until he is at least 4 - Good luck - let us kno whow it...

any suggestions would be greatly apreciated - how do you get your mini to put his ears up when you are showing him - even with a treat in hand his ears most of the time point back

I do not tolerate that type of behavior in my barn from any of my horses big or little - i agree i would kick him back - i realize you hate to correct them at times however, it is not worth getting hurt over - just because they are little they can still hurt someone bad - I have seen a mini...

we removed his muzzle and cleaned his stall - he is now just on a rubber mat - as for the straw - he would eat it - i looked at him again tonight - and honestly he is not to bad - i think i was just in shock from all the hair we removed - i would like to bed him with something - however, i do...

I switched him over at the biginning of the month to alfalfa cubes and he gets vitamins - he just wools up like a mammoth this time of year - i have never had this problem - but have never owned a mini before either - he is our little man and we love him - jsut got to get this food thing...

found out my little guy was eating shavings which were causing him to bloat big time - we just noticed this so we got him a muzzle - with that being said we thought he was overweight so we were really watching what we fed him - after clipping him we found out that he needs to put on a few pounds...

I would recommend having her vet checked that way you will know how far along she may be - i had a mare we thought was pregnant had her vet checked and she was open (not pregnant) - good luck

Thanks for all your replies - it seems we are doing the correct things - just need to give my boy time to mature. he is going to a trainer in the spring to learn to drive - i am sure that will help him - thanks again - i will try to quit worrying myself to death

Here is a pic - you can see from behind he is a bit round - however from the side he looks great - we show him all the time and he does great - he has always been a bit round - just do not understand why Archie.doc

i will have to get a pic of him - i started feeding him alfalfa cubes and was feeding him the purianna mini and pony feed however, he seems to gain weight on that - i had him checked by a vet and he said that is just his body type that he was not fat - regardless i would like to get some of the...

I have a 2 year old gelding that has a barrel belly - we had him checked by the vet and he says he is not over weight and you can feel his ribs if you really try - from looking at him from the back to the front he looks fine - it is just his narrow front - he has been wormed (regular worming...
