    Is it possible to get all the loose hair off your shedding mini?

    I wish the birds would grab it here, but they just don't seem interested. My mare's paddock looks like it got snowed on. It's buckskin on her but white on the ground. and me. and my food.

    Seeking ulcer treatment advice

    From human experience I would say go back to a full dose for 3 days. The rebound is horrible. Then a half dose for 3 days. Then a half dose every other day for 3 doses. Horses may react differently to it than we do, but that's what I would do for myself.

    Is it possible to get all the loose hair off your shedding mini?

    Well, that sounds like something I won't be trying. I got enough hair to crochet another horse again today. I had horse hair in my eggs, and I think I'll have a horse hair sandwich for lunch. My barn is covered, my car is covered, my paddocks are covered, my house is covered....Now I remember...

    Thanks. He just melts your heart when you look into his big eyes. But he is very naughty.

    What grass seed to plant in pasture??

    Hmmm, that I'm not sure of. But I'm guessing your options are pasture mix, horse mix, and yard grass.

    So I take a comb through them and pull out piles and piles of hair. Then I curry and brush. Then I vacuum. And hair still comes out. So I'm curious if anyone has ever managed to brush a shedding mini out so thoroughly that no more hair came out? 🤣 🤣 🤣

    My mare foaled on a tuesday around 1030pm last year. She went like 362 days. And I got a Larry.

    Tractor supply sells a pasture mix, if you have one in your area.

    Glad to hear it's going well, but yikes the recovery on it has been long.

    Mini hoof changes

    Yes, I would expect that with all the problems she has had. Diet, weather, stress, antibiotics, not getting nutrients because you can't chew right....it all shows up in the hooves. It doesn't hurt to ask your farrier but it wouldn't worry me at this point. By summer you should see the top inch...

    Mare seems to be starting a little early this year

    She knows I scheduled a trip when it was way too early for her to foal. So, of course, she is planning to foal the day after I leave. Which will be 308 days.

    Clipping for summer?

    Well, I could be wrong too, I've only got 2 of them. When I think of the fuzzy hairballs I think more of a falabella mix. Or a dwarf. But there is a lot of variety from horse to horse in the big horses too, and there is even variety from year to year in an individual horse.

    Clipping for summer?

    Not sure what being a shetland cross would do? 2 of mine are registered shetland and they both have shorter winter coats than the others. But they all start shedding at the same time.

    Mare seems to be starting a little early this year

    Well thanks, I love her to death. She was a broodmare that I retired, showed for a couple years, then decided to breed again. She has had at least 3 foals before me, but this will be the second one for me.

    Mare seems to be starting a little early this year

    Last year my mare made me wait almost an entire year, and she didn't even look pregnant until after her "due date". This year she looks like a monster, and it appears she is starting to bag up a smidge. We are at day 268. Here is a last month picture of the monster, her last month udder, and...
