    Do you currently own miniature horses?

    I currently have four miniature mares, three miniature geldings, a Shetland gelding, a quarter horse mare and a OTTB gelding. I have had miniatures off and on since 1978. My oldest mini is 26, the youngest is 7. Last breeding was 8 years ago, then gelded the stallions.

    Anybody heard of the sim game Bits?

    I had someone contact me and tell me that some farm in Georgia had a mare on their mare page that was a full sister to my Legacy. Well, I knew that was impossible so I checked it out and sure enough there was a mini mare on their mare page with my mare's pedigree. There are a lot of pictures on...

    For those that remember the skinny filly (big horse)

    Some of you may remember the skinny filly that I took in a couple of years ago. She has really changed a lot and is happy and healthy now. She has grown quite a bit and gained about 500 lbs. She went to the trainer yesterday and within a couple of hours was doing walk, trot, canter on a loose...

    gelding by the "signs"?

    I always geld by the moon signs, my vet does too, he doesn't like to geld at other times because they bleed less, swell less, and just do better. I wean by the moon signs also and it is much easier. Mary

    Well, I made the decision to geld both stallions

    My older stallion is 13 and the other is a yearling. They will be turned out with the other geldings, one of which was 12 when gelded and the other was 8. My mature stallion is very quiet and laid back. He is not a problem at all in any way but I have watched him yearn to go out to pasture with...

    Well, I made the decision to geld both stallions

    People that know me know that I am not a breeder. We have had 3 foals born here in the last 20 or so years. I have made the decision to geld both of my stallions. They will be happier when they can run with the herd and I will be happier because it will be much easier to take care of them...

    Why would anyone treat an animal like this.

    This happened several years ago but a friend told me about another case that happened recently. I wondered if it was the same people. The story is this, the local law enforcement got a complaint about some horses that were being kept in a horse trailer and called me to go with them to check on...

    Unwanted in need minis

    The big horse rescues, animal control, any livestock auction, craigslist, they are everywhere. Even the local dog rescue group has been getting calls from people trying to get rid of horses, ponies, and minis because of the hay situation. I was offered a herd of 12 mares and a stallion less...

    For all the "old" and former LB Members

    I'm still around, I try to check pretty often to see what is going on but don't post much anymore. I know that the LB family has really helped me through some tough times over the years and without some of their help, I would have lost Legacy when she was orphaned. Of course I always have to...

    Yippee! Hurrah!!!! Prayers are answered

    Went out to feed and all of a sudden, this strange stuff started falling from the sky. The sound scared Okie so bad that he went tearing out of the barn. It has been so long since we had any rain that the sound was unfamilliar to him. I hope it continues for at least a week. Mary

    New Mini Parent

    I will comment on this one. I would NEVER put a stallion and a mare together even for a few minutes. They can breed faster than you can get through the gate to get one of them out. Also, that is asking for one of them to get seriously hurt. I have 2 stallions and both are in their own pen...

    Oklahoma people and fires

    Thank You for the offer, I hope none of us have to take you up on it. I would be in real trouble with the variety that I have, 2 stallions,2 geldings,4 mini mares and 1 big mare. I hope I never have to evacuate them again. I came so close 2 years ago that I had everyone haltered and in the yard...

    Horrible wildfires in Oklahoma

    We are okay, we have wildfires all around us but so far we are okay. There is a large fire to the east, one to the west, one to the north, and a new one to the northeast. We are staying close to home. There is one fire that is near Norman that has destroyed several homes and has flared back up...

    Do people not have temparement up on their list for breeding traits?

    I know a breeder here that has the nastiest tempered stallion I have ever seen. He passed that attitude on to and I ended up with one of his offspring. He would charge you, bite, kick, rear etc. Just nasty tempered. I had him gelded within days of acquiring him and he is great with people but...

    They are all beautiful but you know Mingus is one of my favorites anyway. Mary

    Prayers for all the Oklahoma forum members please!!

    We are okay here, we got quarter size hail, 2 inches of badly needed rain, and high winds but the only damage is limbs down in the yard and the barn lot. All human and 4 legged family members are okay. I had moved the vehicles into the yard under trees to protect them before the storm started...

    Prayers for all the Oklahoma forum members please!!

    Very severe storms in central OK tonight. There have already been several reports of VERY large hail and tornados. So far, it hasn't gotten here yet. Oklahoma City area is getting hit hard. At least 2 people have been injured by hail. Prayers that we all make it through okay. Thanks, Mary
