    CCMR Pepitos Texas Red

    I'm not sure you will find many fresh opinions. Arenosa was a big breeding program, but that was quite a few years ago. I don't have any opinions on them good or bad. I was curious and it turns out my stallion is distantly related. You shouldn't post other people's pictures, they may not like...

    Who is expecting foals in 2025?

    That is a lot of foals to look forward to! I am hoping for 2 this year, both will be well into summer. Neither mare even looks pregnant yet, but one is a maiden so that should be exciting.

    Who is expecting foals in 2025?

    By request I'd like to start this discussion where you can show off your expecting mares, ask questions, complain about how uncomfortable she is, show us pictures of round baby bellies and udders, and foal pics when they finally show their cute little faces. So how many of you are looking...

    Question!

    I've been told that most of the "glamour shot" baby pics you see are done with the help of Dorm. If it's safe for a 50lb weanling it should be safe for your yearling. But I would still ask your vet. They can give you a good idea about dosage and I think it's prescription only anyway. Lots of...

    *~*Critique My Miniature Horses*~*

    That's exciting, and it's so neat to see an update. I don't think there is an expecting mares thread for the year yet.

    New Horse

    I didn't mix it in the water, just smeared it on the outside of the syringe. That way they are concentrating on getting it instead of arguing about what you are doing. My baby needed it for a week or so when he lost one of his teeth, before the new one came in.

    New Horse

    If you are still rinsing his mouth, I found that using warm water to rinse and putting a tiny bit of molasses on the syringe made it super easy.

    Pregnant mare moods

    Supposedly if you tie a nail to your horse's tail hair, and dangle it over their belly it will tell you if they are having a boy or girl. I think people used to do the same thing with their wedding rings. If it hangs still the mare is not pregnant. If it spins in a circle it's a girl. If it...

    Mini trailers

    That sounds promising. I am wondering about tie rings and how easy the stalls are to open. The Hawk trailer is a bit more expensive, so I worry it would have some quality that Gore is missing. But the Hawk stalls go sideways with a walkway behind them. The Gore stalls go the entire width of the...

    Pregnant mare moods

    I did the nail test on them both tonight, and it says both are having fillies. I sure hope so.

    Mini trailers

    Looks like I may be going with the Gore. They can make it for me almost exactly the way I want it. Does anyone have one? I'm curious if people like them or not, or if there is anything I am missing since I would be ordering custom.

    Do solid tires last?

    Try solid rubber bike tires on amazon. I see them there, and it shows how to measure it.

    Do solid tires last?

    That place doesn't look super helpful. I've seen solid rubber tires for wagons, not bike rims. I wonder if you need to get wooden rims?

    Oh Jeez. Need Opinions 😬

    She has much more unhappiness to go. The last month or so they are pretty constantly uncomfortable.

    HOOF TRIMMING

    I would think he probably just scheduled you for when it was convenient for him. When your animals need it is absolutely top notch care, but when he is in that area is more important for him. My favorite mare grows hooves like nobody's business. She should be done every 5 weeks and doesn't slow...

    Do solid tires last?

    It looks like a fairly standard bike rim to me. If the tire doesn't say the size on it, you can just measure straight across the entire rim, pretty sure it's the inside measurement. Do you have a local bike shop? That is probably where I would start.

    Dogs

    That's pretty scary. Maybe bringing treats with you is the way to go? I'd be scared to use pepper spray, it's not made to take down an attacking animal at a distance. I don't think a whip will do it either. They aren't really made to hurt an animal. I often need a walking stick or cane if I go...

    Mini Horse Sore Leg

    I'm going against the grain here and saying I don't think just giving a horse medication is a good idea. Sore on one hind leg is unlikely to be laminitis. I would carefully feel the leg for any heat or swelling. Pick out the hoof and make sure there isn't something stuck in there. If you find a...

    Mini trailers

    I contacted my local gore dealer, it looks like they will do some minor adjustments. I'm kind of thinking that if I get an extra large tack room I can bunk in it overnight. I've been using a 2 horse stock and that has worked well. But I'm thinking about showing more, and having box stalls for...
