A while back there was mention of some equine chiropractors in Oklahoma and I can't recall the post title. My daughter's show mare (full size Paint) suffered a horrible injury 5 months ago and Oklahoma State University says the she will never be sound again. Before I totally give up on this...

Could one of you talented photo editors clean the manure stain (on her barrel) off of this beauty (she'd not a mini, hope that is okay)?

Here are our "biggies": This is Sheba, she is a registered paint, but breeding stock only since she is solid (both her babies were black & white overos). She is 10 years old and about 15.1hh. She is the horse my 13 year old rides regularly. This is Lacey, she is a registered paint and is 5...

Our little Image (gelding, 18 months old) has just started rearing and has twice reared up at my daughter - thankfully the older, stronger one who mostly deals with her two full size horses, but he could really hurt my youngest daughter with this. The first time he did it he caught her off...

My dad lives in Wisconsin and is climbing the walls with all the snow and cold they have had. They have already had 36" before the first day of winter. He is thinking about escaping for a month or two in either Southern Texas (his first choice) or Central Florida? Nothing too fancy/expensive...

We had our Christmas Parade last night and it was so much fun - cold, but fun!! We got to meet and walk with three other minis from the Oklahoma Miniature Assoc. Two of the minis pulled carts - way too fun!!! All the horses did great!

Here are a few cute pics. I took with my phone of Image and the girls. He sure is a little fur ball!!

On a regular basis I've been finding this dried, cream colored "stuff" under Image's rectal area (rectum doesn't seem to be involved - just the area beneath it). I just can't tell if it is irritation from his rectum or from his tail or what... I've bathed his hiney and tail/dock with betadine...

I was just out at the boarding stables checking on the horses and there was a city truck driving in the drive past the horse pens. He stops the truck, gets out and goes over to Image's pen and pet him. Here is this big burly city worker taking a moment out of his busy day to pet our cute little...

Has anyone ever dealt with a shoulder problem called "Subluxation of the shoulder joint"? It is supposed to be quite rare, the vets at OSU have never seen it before and upon researching have read that it mostly occurs in miniatures and ponies. We spent 7 hours at OSU yesterday trying to...

We are thinking of registering my daughter's Paint horse with the Pinto Association and thought we might as well register Image, too if he is elegible. Does he look like he has enough white (he has a small white spot on his neck and some roaning in areas, too). What kind of Pinto would he be...

Image did great at the fair, but the pictures didn't turn out that well. His results were: 1st in Showmanship out of 13 2nd in Geldings 2 & Under out of 3 4th is Pony Halter out of 9 Just before the show starts. All done for the day. My oldest daughter showing Geldings 2 & Under...

Today will be our yearling, Image's first show! And my 9 year old daughter's first time to show as well. She will show Image in Pony Halter and Showmanship 8 and under (she was still 8 on 1/1/08). My older daughter will mostly be riding her new mare, but will show Image in 2 and Under...

We are officially addicted to minis. We just made arrangements to buy our second mini!! This one is for my oldest daughter (13). She wanted an "older" mini so she could train it to do hunter, obstacle and maybe eventually even carting. The wonderful people that we bought our first mini from...

Image was released from the hospital Monday evening and we were instructed to care for him as if he was carrying salmonella and bring him back if he started having diarrhea. Well, the test results finally came back today and were negative for all "bad" bacteria. We may never know what caused...

My yearling mini has been in the hospital with tummy trouble and it turns out he has pin worms. Not excessive, they just found them when testing him (live worms - shudder). What can you experts tell me about pin worms. He has been dewormed regularly by breeder and once by me at the beginning...

We've had our little yearling for about 6 weeks and I clipped him about 3 weeks ago with #10 blade and he is getting pretty fuzzy again. It has now reached 100 degrees hear in Oklahoma and I wonder how often to body clip him and when to body clip him for the last time before letting hair up for...

This morning when we went out to the barn to play with the horses, we noticed that image was breathing rapidly/shallowly (also had a bit of slightly loose stool and hadn't finished his breakfast). I took his temp which was 106.1!!!! Called my vet and she was on her way out of town and said all...

The hay I get to feed my two full size horses is prairie hay and is kind of coarse and stemmy. I try to sift through it and get rid of the not so good stuff before I feed it to the mini. I'm not really in a position to complain as the hay is given to us for free (my father-in-law). My...

Here are picture that the breeder recently sent me of Image when he was just 6 days old (July '07).
