AWWW the Chinese Crested is adorable (I have two real ones so anything Crested related catches my eye). I do a lot of different crafty things, but my current obsession is gourds! I know, it sounds crazy but I have become very obsessed. I used to draw but I have problems with my hands and...

Are you my long lost twin????? I actually do have a child. She is an amazing, smart, funny, beautiful 13 year old. She was planned. But I had her because my ex suddenly changed the game plan on me after a decade of agreeing "NO KIDS" and I was the good subservient obedient wife. I love her...

I keep mine on a mare and foal feed until they are around 2 years old, then wean them off onto just grass and hay and possibly a supplement with JUST enough feed to get them to eat it. Then I watch their condition and see if they need anything extra. Right now we are in early summer type weather...

WOW! Wowow! What a chunk! I LOVE him! That is MY kind of horse! I don't have the best gelding in the world. But that doesn't make me love him any less. This is my 2 year old class B gelding, Sparrow: Two or three days ago, still looking shaggy from the winter. Last summer when he was...

This is what my vet had us do, though she said "more is better" when it came to trotting and she said after the second day I could return him to full work if I wished. She also had him on antibiotics and some mild pain relief for the first few days. She said that working him twice a day, morning...

I've done that before, lol. When my ex made me sell a horse I wrote the ad something like "Breeding stock paint mare, solid plain bay, 3 year old. Won't stand tied, breaks every halter I put on her. Won't stand still for farrier. Started under saddle but colicked at training farm and got sent...

I agree. I'd love to have a horse like that to drive.

My gelding's breeder said they were there at birth and disappeared a few weeks later. They came back down just fine around his first birthday. She said that is pretty standard with her mini colts.

This is really what I have been thinking about a lot these last few days. I think there are going to be a lot of upset people if they are required to hardship them in. Just random things I thought of: if they have to be hardshipped will they have their parents listed as "unknown"? Or will they...

I want one of these so bad I can hardly stand it.

some of us also have pitiful internet connections and simply can't view these things online because all we get is a garbled slide show if we can get anything at all... not to mention the many mini horse people I know around here who do not even HAVE internet. I do not think that the number of...

I've been a member of two horse organizations prior to my involvement in miniature horses. One a breed related registry and one a sport related association. BOTH of these had mail in ballots and seemed to handle it just fine. In one case the people for and against a proposed change wrote up...

From the sounds of it the answer to this for many people is yes.

My colt was very well behaved but still had his rowdy moments. Pretty much only when the vet showed up, or when he thought we had spent too much time trimming his feet. He was also lippy even though he never actually bit. He would also TRY to get really light and bouncy in the front end. It was...

So exciting! Good luck, and glad you went ahead and prepared even though you weren't sure.
