    Mini horse trailer

    One thing you will find out, if you buy one for Minis, you will be bonking your head all of the time. I bought a full size one and had it converted into slant stalls for Mini's. Before that, i had a Mini one and lots of bumps and bruises on my head.

    Locked stiffle

    At this age it is more often a growth issue. Too high a protein can make the bones grow faster then the ligaments. Also, he just may be having a growth spurt. It could take him a while to come out of it. If you get it as an adult, then it could be considered hereditary. Just because the...

    At 48, is it too late....to start living a dream? Update 2013!

    The great things about Miniatures is that you can do all of that for many years to come. I grew up being horse crazy. No way would my folks buy me a horse. After I got married, I got a horse and showed hunter jumper. In order to do that, i had to feed 48 horses on that farm 2x a day,plus...

    What to do about kids messing with the horses?

    When I lived in Mn, I had all of my property fenced. Including a gate across the driveway. I had some of my Minis in a paddock area to the left of my house. Well, one day while I was pulling up to my driveway and got out to open the gate, I saw several teens in the paddock area trying to ride...

    Weird Question on Pregnant Mare aborting - Possible Twins?

    Twins do not share a placenta and why in big horses we had our mares ultrsounded. If there are twins, the vet can pinch off one of them and the other survives. By the way, if a twin shares the same placenta, then they are identical twins.

    A question for those of you who feed from round bales

    Reignmaker, I do not put them on their side, as they are meant to stay upright for the rain to fall off. If they are on their sides, the hay will soak up the rain and rot and get moldy. My nets are a little oversized right now because some bales are larger then others. i was told that they...

    A question for those of you who feed from round bales

    Acorns!

    Unfortunately I can not fence it off. All of them in that paddock area have had diarrhea. Most have dried up. They are eating their grain and hay without a problem and drinking plenty of water. Again, these are the really tiny acorns, no bigget than the tip of my finger.

    Acorns!

    I live in Florida, so we do not have freezes. I would like to take the tractor out and scrape it all up with the pay loader, but most of them have not fallen yet.
