This is AMIRA today... This is her SIRE:

Vet has been out several times since day one. Says she is not a dwarf.. may have some dwarf characteristics bc she has he fathers dominant head. Only thing wrong with her is she has soft pasterns.. has been looking much better since then. Also, I have bred the same mare and stallion many times...

thanks for all your replies.. i will try to get some current pictures of her can dwarfs that dont have any major problems be shown? my vet has looked at her several times and said she is looking better and better... should i buy her corrective shoes?

I thought that the big forehead was a good thing.. I was thiniking you might be saying that because of the picture of her toungue sticking out because she dosent always look like that.. that was her first drink of milk.. So what exactly does dwarf mean?

This is my very first foal that I just happened to wake up and find on Febuary 17th 2008. She was still wet and new and probably no more than an hour old. Here are some pictures of her two and three days old. She was 16" tall at birth! (Is that normal??) She's looking lighter in color now but I...

My filly at about five weeks had the same issues so I called the vet out. They said it was normal and my mare had already had her foal heat and it could be from eating sand or shavings. Also. My mare is 18 and just had this filly and all of her weight dropped. You can see her hip bones really...

Is 16" normal? If so how tall do you think she'll mature too with a sire at 27.5 and her dam at 31.75 What is normal height at birth?

I just had our first miniature foal, ever!! She is absoutly gorgeous! She was born at 7am on the 17th. Since this is my first foal... I have a lot of questions. When will she get teeth? When will she need to be fed? What will she need to eat? Should I get her a foal feeder? When will she...

Thanks Everyone!! I'll let you know.. :aktion033: Where or how do I get a urine test??

Thanks for the responces! Maybe these can help... I can't seem to get that perfect picture. : She has absolutely NO bagging or udders even showing. . . Around her tail is starting to be soft and squishy... I don't know if this means anything. but I checked to see if she had any milk...

I have this mare that I bought last august. I have a breeders certificate that says she was bred July 14, 2006. I had given up hope that she was pregnant but lately she has gained a ton of weight with no changes in feed. She is also being extra friendly and she is not happy unless she is with my...

Okay, I've only watched a liberty class one time and I thought it was really cool. I was wondering if anyone knows how in the world you teach your mini to do that. Also I don't really know the amha class rules to liberty if anyone know. Thanks so much!! **Lexi**

Hi Jennifer, I believe I've spoken to you through FMHC. I would like to get my yearling and senior stallion jumping for the June show. Thanks for the helpful advice!

I am trying to teach my minis to jump and I'm working on building some but I don't know how high they are supposed to be. I would like to know how they are in the show ring? Also if anyone has any helpful tips it would be greatly appreciated, my stallion refuses to jump unless a person goes...

I've heard a lot of different things from people (who aren't really into shows) about what to use under a sweat. I heard something about eggs and one about vinegar, and even to use electrolytes. Does anyone have a solution that works for them? My stallion has some neck fat and his first show is...
