Hi neighbor, welcome to wonderful world of minis. We also came from arabians into minis. You are very close to us, about 40 mins away. we are in robbins. come visit sometime.

I bought 2 mares Af Golden Candlelight and Peaches and cream. It was a great sale and glad to see decent prices. I read Nakar is having a sale next!. If anyone is coming through NC please let me know, I need a ride. pm me

Ouch. I learned that lesson a long time ago. A 16h half arabian stepped on my foot while wearing sandles and it took my big toe nail completey off. It was very painful, and took a year to grow back. After it happened, my mom was giggling when she brought me my sandle with toenail still inside

Thanks for the input and compliments, he's a little pistol, full of himself . Adding a pic of his wee wee. Greys dont have spotted genitals like this only muzzles!? His anus is just like this too. I have never seen a grey born with black spots, usually they depigment with age, his sire has this...

here is another pic of him after I clipped his face up a bit. He is a silver dapple going to be grey. His sire was a silver turned grey and his dam is solid bay. He was born with these speckles and they havent changed, actually have gotten more defined and has them on the flat of his face too...

Please examine our 5 week old colts pics. Now, He is sired by a grey white eqyptian king grandson and a Blue boy grandaughter, neither are appaloosa and none listed in pedigree on studbook. His sire has 14 foals and none apps to note. I just cant imagine where he gets all the mottled skin, its...

Yes! Pleease post a topic about how you go in and correct foals not positioned correctly. It would be so helpful as minis mares are much more compicated birthing. Breech, upsidedown, head or legs not presenting etc. Much appreciated info thanks! Love the spirit babies. The avatar horse is a...

Well wishes for your little guy. did you vet give him DMSO intravenously?? Many years ago we had a arabian colt that reared up and over backwords and had head trauma. He could barely walk and his eyes could not focus. he was treated by our vet asap with DMSO and he did make a full recovery...

Okay, my stallion is by the Rowdy son Boogerman, and he is solid black,but does a a white spot hidden in his mane. Should I test him for Lwo before breeding him to a Lwo mare??!! Is it possible he may carry the gene from his Grandsire or does it have to be directly inherited from sire or...

I beleive I saw this for sale on ebay of all places. Okay, yes, I just checked and there is a good amount of it on there. Just put terramycin or eye ointment in the search box.

So sorry you lost your foal! Question: How much smz would you recommend for a pregnant mare and when to start giving it? I have a special older mare that lost her foal last year and want to do whatever I can to help her keep this one! Thanks for advice

Yes! We use foal response. It is a very easy way to give any foal colostrum. It is always in our foaling kit. This is what is does...... (Vita-Flex) Immediate Care Nutrition for newborn foals. Provides premium KPx™ colostrum, in a paste form and other essential nutrients necessary for newborns...

, good for you riverdance. All I say to myself when I see these ads is "Good Luck"!!! Ha

We are using a foal buzzer also. It doesnt actually buzz,but has a continous beep sound, and only if the mares head lays flat, or at an angle. You can see that the mares wonder what the noise is but quickly get used to it.

I keep saying I'm going to handpaint a sign for the farm, but cant find the wood already cut. That was 2 years ago. It would probably be easier to just have one made. So, can anybody recommend a sign maker? or someone who does this from home. I would like it hand painted, if possible and of...
