We are new mini owners and it appears our stallion may be too short to breed our mare. Any tips?

For me being agressive is trying to occasionally bite or nip. He's very good. We have him to breed the two girls. I have seen him mount both. Here's my other question: once they're bred, will he stop trying to breed them. My only experience is with goats and sheep.

I have asked questions before as I'm relatively new to the mini horse world. Our minis are 2, 2 and 3. Our stallion's behavior is changing and I anticipated it would as he matures.

I am a new mini owner so learning alot. Two of the minis are one and the other is two. They are on pasture during the day and I put them in for the night. I just want to take the best care I can.

I will try this....thank you!

Hi! I'm a fairly new mini owner. I have at least one horse that is cribbing. ( I think that's what it's called) How do I stop this?

Great advice! Thank you. He is living with the girls.

Thank you so much for your response. His name is Liberty and he was returned to the farm he came from because his owner had a stroke and died. He is only a year old so I don't know how he was treated but I'm assuming it was good because he loves to be groomed and has never been afraid of me. We...

Hi all! I need advice on how to handle a year old stallion. I am a pretty new mini owner. We bought our first mini last July and added two more this past March. We would like to breed our two females but are brand-new to the mini world. My question is how to handle the stallion. When it's time...

We have had our baby mini for 9 months. She will a year in a few weeks. We are getting another yearling today. How would you suggest we introduce them?
