    Miniature Horses as a Business???

    Ehh have you not read the other threads in which people are discussing the difficulties they are currently facing? I don't think most of the people are in it for the money! They are in it for the love if money happens to come with it then so be it.

    Times are getting tough

    Like a bunch of back yard biddies! You do what you can! You can't save the world and the world is a cruel harsh place outside most of your fences. Tough decisions lie ahead for all, you make the best of it and live with it. Criticism should not come from those who have not walked in your shoes.

    Drunk mother sell daughters mini

    Ok, it is an unfortunate situation. Unless you talk with the girl, there is not much you can do. The situation as bad as it seems, you don't know the whole story. People have problems! Obviously the horse is something special in the girls life, and the fact that it is taken care of proves...

    How to get them used to getting thier hoofs picked?

    My farrier told me to grab the foot ussing the same method as above but not to release until the horse stops resisting, once they stop resisting, let go and repeat. Definitely takes some time but works.

    Cinnamon and Tubby Girls

    sounds interesting but I think adding the cinnimon to ice cream or sugar quite possibly would negate the effects your trying to achieve! Just my $.02!

    horse trailer info

    So, how many of you have had wrecks? As you always bring up the surviveabilty of a wreck. I am curious as to how many of you have actually had wrecks? Manure happens! A converted cargo trailer should work fine as long as you are within the specified weight limits. I'm sure a loaded cargo...

    little cute quirks,

    VallyBoy when he is set on grazing or eating mulberries, when you try to pull him up and away he pulls back and will sometimes lie down and continue eating. One time he was completely flat on his side head and all eating grass out of the side of his mouth.

    To Sweet Feed Or Not To Sweet Feed

    So did you get your question answered? Rule of thumb don't ask for advice on anything here, you will receive answers that are in total agreeance with you question and completely opposite. Best bet is to follow your instincts and do what you do. I feed sweet feed in combination with other...

    Well my mini is almost a year so he is not trained to do much except eat but he loves to go for walks and explore. I also ruffhouse with him but I would not suggest this to everybody as you need to be in good physical health and stature. Tossing around with a 180 lbs of mini horse can have some...
