It probably isn't this but I thought I would mention it any way. Years ago I had a walking horse gelding that just showed up with a bump at the same place your mare's is. The vet came and said it was from gnats that got under the skin. I had to use Swat and DSMO and in about a week it was gone.
I think if they have a barn to get into and they don't chose to go, then they are not cold. I am also in SW Pa. and I let mine decide on their own if they want to come in. Most of the time they are out in the rain even though they have a nice barn and hay inside. It bothers me though if I have...
Just wondering if anyone was going to the Greencastle sale on Sat. from Western Pa./Pittsburgh area? I thought if I bought smething, I could maybe hitch it a ride back home. Thanks
The mini and the goats should do well together. I had a colt in with my goats and they were fine. Some goats do like to chew on their tails though. If the mini is a dominant horse you might have some trouble. My mini won't let the goats in the same field. he chases them down and bites them on...

Somewhere it's Snowing Angels
Somewhere's Snow Angel
Somewhere Angel Dream

Each to their own I guess. I didn't go look at the links. I don't understand where they are coming from though especially that beautiful little foal, who I am pretty sure belongs to a member. Boo Hoo to them! We love our mini's don't we?
I hope so too for her sake as well as yours. When I used to raise sheep years ago, I had three girls to lamb. Of course they did during the Blizzard of 93 ha! Good luck it will all turn out fine
I am so sorry for everything that you are going through with your little girl. After reading Gabriel's story, I just wanted to let you know that I too have a little horse that can only use three legs. My little guy is almost a yearling, and he has a fused hock on his left back leg. It won't...
I think you have enough nests for all your girls. Since you are evenly numbered old and new, as ling as the ones you have are not alot bigger than the new ones they could probably all go together. When I had a bunch of chickens (around 40) we only had 12 nests and that worked because they will...
