Before I start I should say I have a very close relationship with my vet and the following horse is under veterinary care but I am interested in any other possible situations people may have come across. Some background...one of our miniatures who is nearly 19 years old and has been healthy for...

Haha so of course I know they exist, but I have been searching high and low for about 6 months now for a miniature horse trailer for sale at a reasonable price and I am having a hard time finding one. I am firm on wanting a dual axel for safety and comfort during the ride purposes. This seems to...

I'm not one to normally post things like this but everyone needs to watch this video and be aware of what the government is trying to do!!!!! They're trying to make it so that the ASPCA (or anyone else) will no longer be able to video or photograph animals in cruel situations...this will now...

http://www.equisearch.com/horses_care/nutrition/feeds/eqdigestio3120/ This is a GREAT article about equine nutrition and it of course applies to the little ones.

If he isn't doing anything then why is he being fed grain? I would try to find something that is strictly a supplement so he is getting all his vits/minerals but not getting any excess starch or sugars (no idea about purina feeds so it may already be something like that) in my area we have...

I've worked with/ridden/driven Clyde stallions, QH stallions, various pony stallions, TB stallions and plenty of mini stallions...to answer your question they get NO leeway. They are expected to behave the same as geldings and mares. The stallions I've worked with you wouldn't even know they...

Thank you very much for everyones replies I appreciate it! I don't love the idea of it...I think I would prefer to buy another mini or perhaps a small pony that I can also drive but can also be left behind when two are out or at a show. Seems like the safer option haha!

Thanks for the replies...it's such a "hmmmmm" sort of thing. I want a pony but I don't know if it's the right time. So many things to consider. Would you put a 44" pony with your A minis? I'd never put my minis with large horses but how about that foot difference in size? After speaking with...

Thanks again for the replies! Just Carriage works does have beautiful carriages, I've already chosen the one I want haha. It sounds as though the Tadpole is more versatile with being able to be used as a single.

I thought people may enjoy this very informative read on equine nutrition. It is four pages long so a bit of a read but well worth it. http://www.equisearch.com/horses_care/nutrition/feeds/eqdigestio3120/

From what I have been told, depending on your location there are laws about where you can vaccinate. I've heard in certain parts of Europe you're not meant to vaccinate in the neck and also certain parts it doesn't matter and certain parts the rear is out. From what I have learned the neck is...

Hi there, As you may or may not have seen from my other thread I am considering getting a shetland or another miniature. I do have plans to get a large pony (14.1hh) for riding/driving but the plan is to buy him/her as a newborn and train him/her up so clearly that is many years down the road...

Firstly I hope everyone is having a lovely day, especially now that we're moving into summer! I have a few questions... Have you ever ponied your mini from your cart while driving (obviously driving a safe mini)? I have three miniatures, and my partner and I like to go out together with the...

Thank you very much for your reply it is much appreciated!

Hi there, Just a few questions and I'm sure there are tons of threads on this but I am working with very unreliable/slow internet and searching the website for stuff isn't an option. -Where can I find good quality four wheeled vehicles (would prefer something I can use in CDE) that I can use...
