    cubes vs. bales

    Oh yes I have fed that before! its really good for putting weight on. I can't believe you get it for so cheap. here I think it about 14 bucks a bag. Minis are SO much cheaper to feed than big horses.

    Another beet pulp question, plus flaxseed

    I tried feeding it whole and ground. When I fed whole I had lots of pretty blue flax flowers in my lawn. LOL So yeah ground up is better. I fed a small amount like a couple of ounces.

    Skin Problem (Eqyss Microtek)

    I know if you use iodine with Microtek it will cause a burn. But it looks like its healing, is the skin under it smooth? If so then its healing. If not might need some more spraying of the microtek.

    cubes vs. bales

    I've fed both, and pellets too. I Love the pellets, less mess and waste, but it also leaves the horse feeling hungry, then they tend to chew wood. The cubes were good although they still ate them quickly, but they do give them enough roughage. The bags are so much easier to move around and...

    Scary "big horse got in with the minis story"..

    I think though there isn't any hard and fast rule about keeping the big and small horses separate. My friend keeps her mini stallion out with her mustang geldings and they play-rough too. No harm has come to the little guy except some mane hairs-his and the big guys. He also goes out with the...

    To dye or not to dye

    No the worst is that horse hair is tough to die and sometimes black dye turns the hair blue not black. At least that is what I have heard. Hey why not instead of hair dye henna? The do make a black henna, and its GOOD for the hair. I know every fall I threaten to dye my white horse a different...

    Brought Home New Mare Today & She's Underweight. . .

    Pellets are as good as hay. You can soak them if your afraid of choke. And if she is in foal the added calcium and protein of alfalfa is needed. BOSS is good, and a good vitimin supplement too since probably along with weight loss she lost minerals and vitamins from her bones. It will take some...

    Beet Pulp

    I would think starting with a small amount and upping it until you see a gain is the way to go. So a handful? Then up to a cup or so. I usually started my beet pulp soaking when I fed the last feeding then when I want out to feed it was all soft. Harder when its warm out as it can go sour if...

    To dye or not to dye

    Frosting is important if you want to show color. I don't think it detracts from his beauty.
