Hi, Does anyone have, or know of, a golden palomino for sale?I would prefer a mare or filly but if the horse is right, then a gelding would be ok. I have bene looking everywhere and they are very hard to find. I thought with this new crop of foals...maybe there would be one out there! Color is...

I know..24/7 is the ideal BUT...I keep mine in large paddocks and they each get a couple of hours a day in pasture to run and play. They are only stalled in bad weather. Just curious as when I kept my biggie's at a barn..they got 15 minutes turnout from their stalls, a day. Obviously I rode...

ok..this is a little frivolous but...my mini mare is pretty and girly...I wanted a pink stable blanket. Could not find a nice, well made one anywhere!!!I found the PERFECT blanket on this website- it is in Australia but their prices are so reasonable, they ship (cheaply) internationally) and...

I just went to feed tonight and noticed Scampy has puffy eyelids and a puffy nice and sems very lethargic. he is eating his hay (albeit slowly) and is drinking water for now. He was let out for a couple of hours on a pasture that has some weeds but nothing noxious (I don't think??)- I am in...

Its pouring rain here in California...lovely seeing as we do not get much rain usually. Well..I put a blanket on Scampy (he shivers in the rain and cold..a true Cali. boy!)- this morning..there it was..in a rumpled heap in the mud..nicely ground in deep. This blanket has leg straps, a belly band...

My mare is quite a bit smaller then my gelding. My question is: as I pick up all their poop from the paddocks and pasture..I notice that my mare has bigger "muffins". The gelding has much smaller ones..sometimes so tiny..it looks like rabbit poop..lots of them though! I just worry a bit..the...

I am wonderign if anyone uses the Fine Tines fork and, if so, the Junior one or the regular one? I am wanting to "upgrade"!!!I would like a shorter handle too..is the Junior handle shorter then the regular Fine Tines fork?It is hard to tell from the website. Thanks!

My gelding and little mare had been getting along very well but I have noticed a decline in his manners over the last two months though. I do not turn them out together anymore as he runs her and runs her, biting at her neck and rump. She squeals and kicks up at him. At first..they were...

I am!Its fun and very addictive. I thought it would be fun to see if any mini horsey forum friends are on it? Nicola McFarland

Ohhh..am quite excited. I just read my APHA magazine and read an article about the Champagne gene. You can now have your horses DNA tested for it. There are a few differnt types of Champagne color. It was a very interesting read and it got me thinking about mini's and whether that is an official...

My 3 yr old's teth are bothering him..caps coming off..adult teeth coming through. I have noticed that, with all this eruption, he is having difficulty eating hay. Even the soaked hay cubes!He gets more of that into him though then the soft orchard hay. I have also been feeding Omolene 200 but...

Just wondering if you feed either of these and why you would choose pellets over hay cubes? I feed soaked hay cubes but am looking into feeding 1/4 inch pellets. I am thinking the quality might be better in the cubes but am not sure.

My little gelding just had his teeth floated for the first time a few weeks ago. (first time in his life, the previous owners had never floated him). The vet said he had four caps and his babay teeth were still coming in. She said they were pretty bad so...I noticed he had a hard time...

Ok..I must take the prize for the most asked feed related questions here. lol. Now I can weigh everything out..it makes it much more accurate. I weighed out a pound of alfalfa hay cubes- it looked like a lot for one feeding. Is a pound of cubes normal for one feeding?I know a pound of cubes...

I put Cedarest down in both my paddocks a couple of months ago. It comes in bags and is kinda expensive so i did it a bit at a time. It just poured down with rain last night. The Cedarest was soggy this morning with no sign of mud then.. a few hours of no rain and some wind..it is all fluffy and...

My two mini's get a flake of Alfalfa in the am and a flake of Timothy in the pm plus a cup of Omelene 200 each and a mineral/salt horse lick. They leave behind the stems of the alfalfa and then barely eat the Timothy. This is leading to lots of hay spread out on th ground and waste. Could I put...

Hi! Just wondering when people start blanketing their mini's- ie how cold does it have to get?I know many people don't ever blanket and rely on Mother Nature to provide the winter woolies but....I always kept my regular horses under lights so their coats were super shiny, short and slick. It...

I have a 10x8 stall. My mini gelding and mare get along wonderfully (except at meal times which they would be fed outside the stall). Mostly they are turned out in paddock or pasture. I was just wondering, as (hopefully!) we will be getting some rain this winter in California, whether 10x8 would...

My mini's both had Flu-Rhino, West Nile & Rabies a month ago. They need the WN booster and Strangles internasal. My question is: do you give the WN shot in the hindquarters or the neck?Have been hearing minis have less muscle mass so the hind is preferable. Also, dosage- do you give it according...

I have been reading the post about Bonny and her soon-to-be-foal with interest. I have not owned a mare before, mini or regular, and I now have Lola. I wanted to know how often and how long mares come into heat/season approx. ? Also, should I separate her from my gelding when she is in heat?I...
