Let's be honest, most of us consider our miniatures to be our hobby and while it is fun, most of us (or at least our money conscious husbands) would like to break even or better yet, make money while enjoying this hobby! So let's get a little serious for a moment. Who here has actual broke down...

For those of you who have dealt with a phantom pregnancy, I am wanting to know if their milk PH drops like a normal mare who is open? Or would it be testing in the high 7's - 8's

Thanks Chandab, at least I know I am not feeding him too little of the feed. I wanted to be 100% sure on the amount. Helicopter, I don't think that is the issue since he has pretty much always been out at pasture with mares as a breeding stallion except for as a yearling when he was shown.

Okay I wanted to do an update on my boy as well as ask for some advice. First of all, he is still improving on the stall weaving and pacing. I moved him to my other barn that has 95% visibility between stalls as well as a mesh wire covered window so he can still see outside of the barn and that...

I wanted to check in with yall and give you an update on the little man. I am happy to report that he has virtually STOPPED pacing the fence and has started to get better about weaving in his stall. He has been on the ulcer meds & stomach soother for about 4 days now and we have switched him...

Will any B1 supplement do? Do you have any recommendations? I will see if I can get him eating some alfalfa. The good news is I have found an equine dentist that will float his teeth so hopefully I can get that done soon....they are supposed to be calling me to schedule him in.

Have you tried something small you can hold in your hand that makes an interesting noise to see if that helps? Something to catch her attention and perk her ears up?

First of all, I want to say that I have never dealt with a stall weaver or fence pacer, but now that I have acquired one - I now know how difficult owning one is! So please be patient with me, as I literally know nothing about handling this type of situation. Three weeks ago I was given a...

Thank you everyone for your input, I greatly appreciate it Our first mare being bred for 2015 is our cremello Alvadars Double Destiny granddaughter has been covered yesterday and today (and hopefully tomorrow) by our Magic Man son and we have set up an appointment for her to be ultrasounded...

And when you yall generally prefer to do another ultrasound to confirm she is still carrying?

She told me she can do it as early as 18 days, but I was wanting to see what the general concensus of the breeders on here do

I finally have found a vet in my area that can ultrasound my mares and this year I am wanting to take advantage of being able to do this. My question is, after hand breeding, how many days after the first date of breeding do you do your first ultrasound and if in foal, when do you do subsequent...

I have a show horse gelding that I have on the same diet that he was on last year with his previous owner, where he won 3rd in his halter class at Nationals. He is a 4 year old 34" shetland blend gelding. The thing is, I failed to get measurements for each. He is currently getting 4 cups 13%...

I mix equal parts of listerine and baby oil together and spray on where needed

I am looking to see what exercises everyone does with their minis over the winter so they are ready for showing come spring. I am not looking to add supplements for muscle, I am wanting to increase muscle through good nutrition and exercise. My show horses for next year are currently on 13%...
