Hi everyone! On April Fools Day I received the sweetest surprise. My mare Jasmine gave birth in the middle of the night. As she was a maiden mare Jasmine did the most outstanding job all by herself. I am a first time grandparent so I just wanted to brag a bit.. After all this is my first foal...

Hi everyone. I am calling out my vet for a mare/foal check. Did find and bury in plastic bag the placenta... How can I post my pictures of Firefly. By the way, it's great to have a place like Lil Beginnings to share with other folks that share!! Thanks everyone; you have all be GREAT!

The foal, (FireFly) recieved moms milk by two that afternoon. The mom had her four way in October for the winter. She is due again the end of April for her four way for the spring. Both mom and foal are eating, peeing and pooping. I think the best to get the vet out to releive my mind. Thank you...

Hi, Hope someone can help. My mare foal at night. I didnt know she had bred with my stud and had no idea for a foaling date. The next morning i found her foal in my neighbors yard. The mare is fine and the foal is very active and seems OK. I have tried to obtain a tetnus shot with no results...

Oh, no I dont give her suppliments as I feed her Purina Mini and the directions were to feed her 2 lbs in late gestation per day.

Hi everyone.. I have need of suggestions. I am presently feeding my minis Purina Mini. I must say, I am not all that impressed... I am looking to a possible change. My minis are just learning with me to drive. As the weather improves they will be working a bit more and not just pasture pets...

Hi, I have been reading the information in here. I was hoping that someone can suggest a book or video that I could purchase to learn to drive. I don't have anyone around where I live that can teach me... I live near Wilmington, NC.. So there isn't a club around... I have two mini's that I...

Hi, I would greatly appreciate ifsomeone could tell me what blades numbers to use on a Oster - A2 clippers for bridle path and face?? The Oster is an elecctric clipper. Maybe I should be using a battery clipper?? Can anyone suggest which clipper to buy for face and which one to buy for body...

Thank you all for your information. I didn't realize I could be teasing them.. I will keep them separated as I do wish to breed them in a few years God willing...

Thank you everyone for your guidance and advise. However I think you are misunderstanding my question.... I am NOT interested in breeding these two mini's at this time. I was thinking I would love to share in a foaling experience, but certainly NOT at this time. Maybe two, three or four years...

Hi, Just wanted to let everyone know how great this site is! I would appreciate any guidance you can give me. I brought home my first mini four months ago.. Pistol is a stallion, but what a sweet guy he is. I was concerned as Pistol was pastured by himself as I was concerned my two big boys...
