    I do not plan to add any weight till she’s atleast a year and a half anyways. My vet was the one telling me she looked dwarfy because of her head and her legs are a bit crooked. I was hoping my exercise could straighten them out. Thank you!

    The way forehead and legs are indicate she’s a dwarf our vet told us. I’d prefer her not to be so my son will be able to use her longer.

    Exercising the young ones

    Hello! We rescued a Mini mare the beginning of the year and she had a foal on May 9th. The foal is now weaned and has been for about a month. I take her on walks and she does chores everyday with me. She’s going to be my sons who is currently 9 months old so she needs to be very gentle. She’s...

    In a sad turn of events rodeo has moved on. We went for a walk yesterday with him and found him down this morning. He had blood coming from his mouth and was cold to the touch. The vet is thinking a brain aneurysm or something traumatic in his body. RIP little guy ❤️

    They will be separate as soon as she is getting ready to foal. We check her daily but right now they are doing well together. He’s too malnourished at the moment to try anything. The vet was not concerned with keeping them together awhile longer. I didn’t even think about shaving all his color...

    Slowly getting there! It has only been a few weeks but we are getting better! The vet came out and confirmed a pregnancy on the mare! Also told us our little rodeo is a stud. Please don’t let him be the father of this foal. He’s also looking to be closer to 4 in age, so seriously… fingers...

    I wish you luck in building stuff!! It’s so rewarding. We built the dirt up right there in the front so it’s not such a drop. We haven’t completely decided where we want it so until we decide we won’t make anything permanent!

    Nope. Nope! My moms boyfriend is a carpenter and has help me and my mom build every building on the property! I certainly am taking notes though! We have quite the funny farm so we have lots of different barns. Luckily they all match since we get to do them ourselves!

    Don’t mind the scary haircut. I promise it’s better under his body. His face was so itchy it was hard to get a clean cut 😆 we got his barn built and moved outside today though! We did build him a ramp also because man that was a big leap for him 😅 he’s happier everyday though!

    Luckily my boyfriend is a fantastic farrier! I turn him out daily in sand to get him exercise. Once he has a bit more weight I plan to start taking him for walks up and down our HUGE hill on our road.

    The girl does not have a name yet. I was thinking Dally maybe but our mustang is named Sally already 😂 we were told she is bred so the 28th we have an ultrasound set up for her to see! For now they are safe and warm with full belly’s. (Not too full though) 😉 I can’t wait till they are healthy...

    They are clipped and staying in the basement next to a pellet stove. They should be warm and toasty! The mare has hard lumps all over her and little rodeo looks so much thinner now 😭

    I shampooed with medicated lice shampoo clipped and then put lice powder on him. I also worked him again with ivermectin. We will just have to wash his blankets weekly!
