Hi, Does anyone have, or know of, a golden palomino for sale?I would prefer a mare or filly but if the horse is right, then a gelding would be ok. I have bene looking everywhere and they are very hard to find. I thought with this new crop of foals...maybe there would be one out there! Color is...

I know..24/7 is the ideal BUT...I keep mine in large paddocks and they each get a couple of hours a day in pasture to run and play. They are only stalled in bad weather. Just curious as when I kept my biggie's at a barn..they got 15 minutes turnout from their stalls, a day. Obviously I rode...

Sorry!Left out a very important part. It is approx. half a bottle of white vinegar!!Use more if you need to..it is not an exact science. So sorry it took me so long to get back to both of you. I was out of town for a few days. It does work very well..if you have the time. If in a rush...

I have had much practice with whitening tails- here is what I do..and is fun for the kids as it fizzes. Wash tail with whitening bluing shampoo- ie "Quiksilver" make a good one.Let sit for at least 5 minutes. Rinse well. Empty a box of baking soda onto the tail. It will get all cakey and messy...

Welcome from California! Your horses all look lovely. I hope your foal improves..nasty worms! This forum is AWESOME!!I have found everyone to be so pleasant and very very helpful with all the advice and handy hints since I joined. Enjoy!

I think the pick doona (quilted) blanket I bought was $38 - something like that anyway!I thought it was well priced. I suppose I will have to see when it arrives but they look just gorgeous on the website. I am Aussie too so I like to buy "locally" sometimes. I am going to wait for the dooner...

My mistake..so sorry. Its www.horseswarehouse.com.au - its plural, not singular. It will bring up the main website and in the menu on the left hand side, click on MINIATURE HORSE & PONY PRODUCTS. Its right there!

Oh no!Let me double check it....they just sent me an email to say my pink blanket had shipped last week- they are so fast!!Cutest blankets I have seen for mini's..just a moment!

I used to feed the Omo. 200 but switched to Triple Crown ES. I notice much more of a "bloom" on mine and I feel like it does not make them as hot. They love it!I weigh mine on a small scale. My little mare gets 1 .5 pounds a day and my gelding gets 2 pounds (one in the am and one in the...

I wish I had the injection on hand!The powder worked well though..once he ate it, of course. I also wish the vet was closer but...being prepared is so important out here (or anywhere for that matter!). I just did not want the vet to drive all the way out and it had gone down already. Of course...

ok..this is a little frivolous but...my mini mare is pretty and girly...I wanted a pink stable blanket. Could not find a nice, well made one anywhere!!!I found the PERFECT blanket on this website- it is in Australia but their prices are so reasonable, they ship (cheaply) internationally) and...

Thank you for you kind thoughts. It was scary!!He got swollen so fast..I was so worried about his breathing. Honestly, thank Heavens for this forum and google!! That is a good idea to dissolve the tabs in water and use a syringe and give it orally. I did not have liquid benadryl. I heard it was...

Thank you! This morning..even better!! The dex must have really helped over night but it was the banamine that helped him feel good enough to actually eat the sweetfeed with the dex in it. I feel so lucky!Disaster averted!It takes 2 hours at least for a vet to come and late on a sunday before...

edit to note: EMPTY tampon tube!Love the Search option on this forum. I was wondering what kind of tube to use if his nostrils closed over really fast. Update! Well..after the banamine worked a while..Scampy started to eat some of the sweetfeed I have with the dex powder in it. The swelling has...

Found my dex powder!- how much did you give your mini?I have a small sachet of it but it should help until the vet comes - can only come tomorrow seeing as not a dire emergency! Lucky I have some first aid supplies..I already gave him some Banamine. The vet said to give the Banamine but I did...
