    First Foal of the year!

    This is our first foal of the year. We will start foaling our minis next month. Tuesday morning, right after we fed, we got a beautiful palomino colt. He has high white stockings (hard to tell in the photos) and a big blaze. He already has so much energy, and his poor mom is constantly chasing...

    Gelding a older stallion

    We gelded one of ours last year. He was a ten year old stallion. He is a two time National Champion, National Reserve Champion, and has multipul top tens. We were not planning on breeding him to any more mares (took our breeding program in a different direction), but didn't want to sell him...

    Mare acting studish?

    While it could just be hormones, stud like behavior in mares can also be a side effect of a mare having an ovarian cyst

    Just a little vent

    About five years ago at my parents farm in Missouri, the power company was working on the line (I don't really remember what they were doing. Anyway, no one was home at the time, and they took it upon themselves to CUT THE LOCK off of one of our pasture gates and let themselves in. They did NOT...

    Round Pen Measurement's

    We have a 50ft and a 60ft round pen. We start a lot of colts, and have boarders that use them. I wouldn't go any smaller. Every now and then we will work minis in the round pens, but we have a pen that's about 90' X 50' that we free lunge them in. We like the bigger pens a lot better as opposed...

    Cold Cold COLD

    For the most part, people worry way too much about their horses being cold. As long as they have hay, water, and shelter (which we all know they won't actually use in bad weather!) they are usually set! The only horses in the barns are show horses, training horses, and boarders horses. The only...

    Tack room and grain room

    If I remember, I will get some pictures tomorrow or ours. We have three (and a half lol) barns; In our show barn, we have a HUGE tack room that has our carts, harnesses, saddles (we have ten+ or so?), my sixty bridles (not exaggerating...I have a bit collecting problem ), all of our grooming...

    Do anyone use RidersRasp?

    You are absolutely correct. Personally you couldn't give me one of these. It is just so much easier to do it with a regular rasp. You can not accurately tell the depth or angle of your rasp with something like this. Simply put, it is something that is geared towards people who want to round off...

    Secret Santa Gift thread

    I finally got mine! I apologize for any worrying, our mail lady is an idiot. We have gated facilities, and our mail lady was too lazy to look and see if the gate was open or not (which it was) and drive down to the house. Then it took me a few days before I could get over into the next town...

    what to do with our pony farm?

    I would not breed minis simply with the expectations of producing pets. There are so many minis out there with no homes because that is all they are, pet quality. Maybe you could instead look into rescuing or picking up cheap unwanted minis at sales and then training them and re-homing them. As...

    Airing "Dirty Laundry"

    I do not often comment on these types of things, everyone has their opinions on everything and everybody elses business. However, I do NOT think the post should have been removed. No names were names publicly. This is a forum. You will hear people praising some trainers, farms, products, ect...

    Barrel Raceing

    Oh my guys are the best behaved horses for the most part, but I do have a couple of rodeo horses that are breed to be hot, and they know they rule the world. They know they are good and their ego shows it. lol. I'm looking forward for my Dash for Perks and Chasin Firewater babys to grow up...Now...

    Barrel Raceing

    Oh yea...way way back in the day when we used to haul to the high school rodeos, in between off weekends, or if they were on the way, we would stop at youth rodeos. Those kids can't get after it on those ponys. We used to pick up a few from the sale every now and then and break them to rope on...

    Barrel Raceing

    Lol...As it is, my wife already hates dealing with the antics of my high-strung barrel horses. I don't think she would be too thrilled if we patterned a mini.
