    That Belly!!

    Another great product to add Alfalfa to a diet is Dengie made by Lucerne Farms in Maine. It comes chopped with vitamins, minerals, molasses (in some types) added and is great for feeding a mini. Their website is www.lucernefarms.com for more information.

    Buckskin or Grulla??

    I would say smutty buckskin. Grullos are usually a very rich grey with black points. Your horse has too much brown in his face. Seperate question - why have all these "names" for colors been developed? LOL Talk about making it more difficult than it needs to be in some instances! LOL I...

    Vaccinations

    Of course I will give the recommended dose until studies have been done, but I guess my main question was if anyone had known of any tests that had been done on this subject matter. It's very cool that, I believe it was Margo, tried out giving a smaller dose. I think there should be studies...

    Vaccinations

    I have always had issues with my 150 pound mini receiving the same amount of vaccine as my 2000 pound draft horse but a friend of mine just told me they have "improved" the Rabies vaccine and her two minis had a violent reaction to it. Does anyone know if there has ever been a study done on the...

    Rope Halters

    Rope halters are a God send! Make sure to get one made of stiff rope, not the soft nylon rope. Several of the smaller mini tack shops have them. Oh, Kay Jay Farm carries them although I'm not sure if they are the stiff rope or the soft rope. Clinton Anderson and Parelli also offer them for...

    Track Marks

    If I lived closer (I'm in Maine) I would love to come clip your guys! LOL

    Track Marks

    I COMPLETELY understand! I have the same problem with my Double Ks and so does two of my other friends. New blades, new levers, just back from the clipper guy - doesn't matter. I think they are just so super sensitive that the least amount of pressure difference leaves track marks. HOWEVER...

    Lyme disease in horses

    Lyme disesase is becoming so common now! It's really scary isn't it? Once a horse has it, they always have it. Whether it has another big flare up or not depends on the horse but they will always have it. My friend's horse goes seriously lame twice a year as it affects the muscles of the...

    Vaccinations for minis?

    The vaccines are the same dosage big or small which is stupid! =) I give mine in the neck only because my minis had bad reactions in the hind end, but my Andalusian does better with them in the butt - it all depends on the horse. Be careful with the Strangles vaccine - it does need a booster...

    Fly masks

    I have had the best luck with Kensington brand fly masks. They adjust at the crown and throat latch plus are double velcroed. They are the only ones my minis will keep on (also have Farnum and Cashel). It's so nice not having to walk 5 acres of fields looking for fly masks! =)

    Liberty Class information?

    Horse performs for 1 1/2 minutes. The best way to do it is to edit your song choice and create a minute and a half piece. Once the music ends, you have 2 minutes to catch your horse.

    Do you keep your mini's seperate from the big ones?

    I think it all depends on the horses involved. We have our Belgian, yes a 2200 pound Belgian, out with our 37" and 30" minis. However, I won't turn him out with my 25" mini (who is also a squeally mare), just because her head is so close to his feet. I know he wouldn't do anything on purpose...

    Who owns the smallest mini ? (that is not a dwarf)

    My mare is 3 and 25 1/2 inches and hasn't grown in a year so I'd say she's done. I can't get a picture attached for whatever reason but she's a lovely buckskin mare who has a wonderful personality to go with her wonderful conformation. Thank you Dynmos Miniatures! Charlotte and Garyo, keep in...

    Anyone use (used) Laube Clippers

    Kathy if you want you can come down and try out mine. I usually have a few that need to be clipped. LOL Mark Gee thanks Mark! =) Actually, I might take you up on that if I can find 2 seconds to get down there! LOL
