I hope this doesn't sound to dumb, but when weighing this feed does .9 of a pound of feed equal 14.4 ounces, .8 equals 12.8 ounces, etc.? I found this conversion on TrueKnowledge.com. OR, are these ounces i.e. .9 equals 9 ounces? I have been messing with this until I am so confused! I've...

I have been feeding beet pulp to my miniatures for about 3 yrs now, and I haven't had a problem. However, I was reading the article on www.southernstates.com that said "don't feed beet pulp to miniature horses due to the high risk of enteroliths". They claim it is because of the high amount of...

Have any of you ever used the Finish Line U-7 gastric aid powder. If so, did it help? One of ours (maybe 2) has developed ulcers from traveling, but the Ulcer-Gard is so expensive. The vet said we needed 16 tubes at $30.00 a tube, just don't have it right now, looking for alternative. She...

Has anyone else had the problem with their little stallion yelling at shows, he whinnys really loud as soon as I walk into the waiting area with him. I have worked him at home a lot, tying up the fillies and making him stand next to them without moving. He doesn't yell then, but as soon as I...

Has anyone ever used the salt block with fly repellant in it? I have seen them, but am afraid to use them until I know about them. Are they safe, and if so is there a favorite amongst mini owners?

Does anybody know if any of the miniature horse shows have been canceled because of the EHV (Equine Herpes Virus), and what about Nationals? Has anyone contacted AMHR yet on this?

Just finally getting around to putting my little winner on the net. Don't know why it took so long as we are really proud of her. She placed TIE JR. Supreme World Champion Mares A, and 2010 Mares A Champion in the WCMHR. We are especially excited for her since she had such a rough start...

I was always under the impression that a horse couldn't get pregnant in the winter months i.e. December. Has anyone had one of their little minis get pregnant in December? I thought my mini had her last cycle in October, so we allowed the little 29" stallion to run with the other horses today...

Checked on the AMHA hardshipping, and they will close it to outsiders in 2013. Until then, they have to be at least 3 yrs old, DNA'd twice, once by a director and inspected by the director. Plus, it will cost me over $1200.00 to hardship my little 29 inch stallion, who is already AMHR, into...

Has anybody ever fed the new Strategy Healthy Edge to your minis, and what did you think of it?

Just wanted to let everyone know that the WCMHR has updated their website, and everything is looking on the up and up now. Hopefully, they can redeem themselves in the eyes of the past members, current members and future members. Due to the difficulty of not being able to hardship young foals...

Did anyone else enter the virtual show for the World Class Miniature Horse registry. They were to have a photo gallery of the entries, and judging on 8/31. However, I have tried to get in touch with them by phone and e-mails, because I am unable to find the photo gallery. I was wondering if...

Hi, I have a problem that I hoping someone can help me with. I have always fed the Platform Miniature feed to my 3 horses and loved it. It had the rice bran and flax seed in it, which was nice. We can no longer get it around here, and I was wondering what the rest of you are feeding your...

We live in Arkansas, known for it's copper heads and rattlesnakes. Last summer I found a pigmy rattlesnake in my little horses pasture. I was able to kill it, but have been worried ever since that one might get bitten. When I asked my vet about it, she said that they probably wouldn't survive...

Hi, We just purchased a little stallion from a breeder. Brought him home, and when I clipped all of his winter coat off, he has lice. I don't want it to spread to my other horses, but this little guy is so tiny (10 months old, 21 1/2 inches, 85 lbs) that I don't want to use harse chemicals on...
