    You thought horse foals where bad

    These two have been buds since day one, now they are learning the pin, hold and bite techniques. Dad doesn't seem to mind helping either. They are just non stop terror on anything.

    Our last Mule foal of the year

    He was a complete surprise. Wasn't expecting him for 2 or 3 more weeks! Went out to feed and there he was. He is a rose grey right now, with a bunch of leg barring, which our jack doesn't have. Not sure what color he'll be considered, might need your help later. more pictures...

    How does it work when you put your foal up for sale?

    I have seen plenty of foals for sale that aren't weaned yet and aren't even close. WHen you have a buyer, do you get a deposit, refundable, non-reundable- why? How do you work out payment? Is there a contract and what is included? Thanks, Susan.

    Little Help Please...Mare drooling

    I just had a mare that was always a muncher, eat eat eat. One day I noticed she was drooling and didn't pay attention much to her hay or grain!! She needed to her teeth floated. Those sharp teeth start to hurt her tongue and mouth and she drooled as a result. Ask the vet to see if she needs...

    We lost our mini MULE!!!

    Died this morning. I was on my way to see him, hadn't heard anything, so just headed out. Got the call when I was almost there. Not very happy right now. Vet didn't seem concerned that much when we brought him in. They didn't run any other tests. He was in pain, trying to roll. I don't...

    Mortality Rate For Maiden Mares???

    My first two mares were maiden too! I was just as worried as you, if not more. They both foaled like pros. I had someone here with me for the first one, they said she had it quicker than they had ever seen. If you are experienced in foaling, it shouldn't be a problem, I wasn't. But, you...

    Well, it finally happened, I have been watching this mare for a month and she foaled this afternoon. She was maiden and dropped it and ran, I had to halter her and bring her to him. She got the idea and started to clean him off, I thought maybe she was going to reject him. She did notice the...

    Mini donks and big horses

    I have two 15 h horses in with my mini jack. The gelding loves him and the donkey plays pretty hard with him. It's so funny, the jack is an ankle biter. He bites the geldings ankles then runs in between his legs and rears up and tries to bite the gelding on the neck. The gelding just stands...
