We were hoping to do a Christmas dress up day, but the weather kicked our butts. It was raining, then got super cold and snowed, and now it is back to raining. I think we have had about half a day of sun in the last week. I like the idea of tiaras! I may have to check out our local dollar...

And this is the comparison of him Sept 2019 (bottom) vs Sept 2020 (top). I got him officially November 1 2019.

Sorry for not getting back to this thread sooner, I haven't had much of a chance to get on my computer until now. Our temps are all over the place these days. It isn't unusual lately for the temps to drop or go up 10+ degrees Celsius. Totally driving me nuts. This is my second winter with...

So Walter takes this whole growing a winter coat to a new level. It is so lush and thick that I get my fingers caught in it when I scratch his chest. Grooming is difficult too because I feel like I can't get down to the skin with the brushes. I am wondering about clipping him, but have never had...

Thanks for the response. At some point the horses will be moving to my friend's house, when she finds a place with enough acreage to have horses. This is a perfect idea for the boys! I will try and show this to my b/o's too, but they tend to be a bit touchy about suggestions.

That sounds like quite the size collection lol. I love OTTB's and have ridden a few Belgian crosses that were fantastic. Walter is my first mini and I didn't ever think I would get one but he just spoke to me.

Thanks for the welcomes guys! I will be doing Christmas photos with my beasts tomorrow hopefully. I will post pictures from that soon.

Hi everyone! I'm Jenn and I have a 19-year-old TB mare, Ellie, who I have had for 16 years now. I recently added Walter, a approximately 7-year-old mini to my "herd". We are located in Southern Ontario. I am looking forward to learning about mini care and the differences between Walter and Ellie.

He is on sand 24/7. I will ask about feeding on a mat.

All feeding changes are being done slowly, since I got him. He did have a pretty drastic change in hay quality at the end of the summer though. He does need his teeth done, and they will be getting done soon. I am deworming him this week and will do a fecal probably around January. Adding...

I have just become a mini owner. I was given a apparently 7-year-old mini from my barn owner. There are some issues arising from that as he is skinny and has had loose stool for quite some time. I am in contact with my vet about these issues. He does eat dirt, so I am looking for a mineral...
