He is gorgeous! Do you have to drive with a navigator in ADS because he is over 39" at the withers? If so, does he find this heavy going? Do you condition him just by driving or do you do something else too? What feed does he get (what hay and what grain and how much?).
Sorry to be picking...
Hi!
Blue looks fantastic! How tall is he? He looks similar in build to my very large B size mini, Fox who is also taking a while to mature mentally! Congratulations!

Hi from beautiful British Columbia on the west coast of Canada. I am a recent new member too and have learned a great deal from the very knowledgeable people on this forum. Your minis look great and I love the silver dapple colour (yes, we spell it with a "u" up here! ). Enjoy and welcome...
Hi,
I was told recently when I got my Oster blades sharpened that Oster blades only fit Oster clippers and that most other brands are interchangeable between blades and clippers. 'Be sure to check it out carefully!

Hi,
Welcome to the forum! I had the same problem this spring clipping my mini. The clippers basically stopped clipping and just grabbed at the hair. I had them sharpened last spring (after clipping) by volunteers of a Mini Horse club and I think they were not set up properly. Out of...
Hi Leia,
I know I'm late to add my best wishes but better late than never! I just read about Kody's illness and hope that he is now fully recovered and soon ready to start back to work.

Hi Sue C,
If you could pm me some pictures of your modifications (or just put them on this thread for everyone), of what you did that would be fantastic! I also don't like step-up trailers so pictures of the middle beam and slide-under-ramp would be really helpful.
Thanks again to everyone...
WOW!!! Thanks for all the replies. You have all given me lots of food for thought. The problems with the single axle (bouncing, flat wheels etc.) I have already thought of but I wanted to hear what everyone thought without any prompting from me. First and foremost, I want a safe and...
I have only one large B mini and I am thinking of the possibility of using a Cargo trailer modified with windows added to take my guy and a lightweight 2-wheel cart to some competitions next summer. Has anyone done this? All of the smaller trailers, 5 x 8 or 5 x 10 have only a single axle...
The cart in the picture is called the Millenium Mini and was designed by an Australian man, R.J. Walsh, who owns Regal Sulkies. His website is www.rjwalsh.com.au. It was designed mostly as a dog cart and there are 3 types currently and I think another one is soon to be released. It...
:aktion033: Yeah! We have been thinking about you and Kody and are so happy that he is looking so good after the surgery! We'll keep our fingers crossed that he continues to recover quickly!

Has anyone tried the Hoofwings hoof boots? Has anyone tried the Epona glue shoes? Are there any other hoof boots or shoes that would be suitable for driving on a gravel road?
My 38" tall mini gelding gets sensitive hoofs when I drive on the gravel dyke after it has been recently graded...
