As another poster mentioned, you could lease a stallion which gives you the experience of owning one. It has a lot of advantages. Most people will allow you to lease a stallion for a year for free, provided you give him the best of care - vet, farrier, worming, shots, feed, hay, etc. That way...

Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!! What is the pedigree and heigth? A, R or Aspc? Beautiful conformation, color and markings.

My vet has used the blood test on my mares lots of times and it has always been accurate for me. I think the only requirement is that the mare has to be at least 60 days in foal. Good luck!

I have to TOTALLY AGREE with Songcatcher's description of the High Hopes Sales. I have been going there for many years and it is a VERY well run sale. Gene and Nancy Williams are completely professional and honest. There are always nice horses there if you just do your homework. Maybe some...

He looks very pretty to me!!! I don't see anything at all that looks like a dwarf.

Thanks kaykay! Very helpful advice! Manely Minis

Weeeeell, all I can say is we TRY to breed for profit but it rarely turns out that way. When you only have 3-5 foals a year but you've got 8-12 mares and 2 stallions, and you pay for top quality feed and hay, have farrier care and worming every 2 months, annual shots, send mares to foal-out...

I don't know about the testing but BEAUTIFUL horse!!!

Like you said Sue, if it's just a mistake and the breeder is willing to fix the problem once it's brought to their attention, then it's not a big deal. Mistakes do sometimes happen. But I still don't understand if it's an AMHA horse, and the breeder refuses to fix the problem so the horse can...

Congratulations Supaspot! Thank you Carolyn and Michelle@Westco for the explanations on PQ'ing! I never knew how that differed from DNA but your responses made it easy to understand. And as Sue C said in regards to getting the breeder to send in a late stallion report: "...... if the...

I totally agree with Disney Horse - it's your horse and your money so you can name it whatever you want. Neither association cares what name you put on the horse. All of my horses are double registered, so whenever I buy a horse that is only registered in one association I always hardship...

Beautiful website, beautiful pictures, beautiful horses! I love the pictures with the Great Pyranhees dog! We have one of those too. "Great" protector and friend to the minis, cats, dogs and humans.

Wow, thanks you guys for all your responses! It brough tears of happiness to my eyes to hear of the struggles some of you have had but you still were able to show......and successfully!!! All of the comments were very positive and gives me the confidence to go ahead and try it. I was afraid I...

I was severely injured in a car accident last year. Both of my legs were crushed and I may be permanently disabled. Not sure as I am still recovering. I'm a novice amateur and haven't shown very much. I was wondering if I try to show this year and do indeed have a permanent limp, what are my...

Thanks everyone for your advice! Wasn't planning on showing this one until mid to late summer shows of his/her yearling year but I may just wait until the 2 yr. old year. Was just wondering if it was even possible if the foal turned out really nice. I wouldn't show him/her if it was at all...

Wow, Michelle@WescoFarms, your information in your second paragraph is so right on! I come from the "big" horse background where the stallions are always confined and kept separate from the mares, and they can be soooooo dangerous during breeding season. Have had several friends nearly killed...

I have a mare that is due to foal in late 2011, probably October. I know the foal will be considered a yearling in January of 2012. What I'm wanting to know from all of you who have experience with showing minis in halter is how difficult will it be to have a foal born that late in the year to...

Very well said Lisa!!!!!!

Wow, maybe it's just me but I would NEVER breed a 29" mare to a 32" stallion for her first foal.......and on top of that she's only 2! Yikes! Doesn't sound like a good combination. Let's hope she didn't take and your friend will wait til next year to breed her, and will breed her to a smaller...

Oh my stars Chandab, you cracked me up big time!!! "We're suppose to sell them???" I laughed so hard at that and when I told my husband what I was laughing at he said, "She sounds just like you." I never sell mine until I absolutely have to due to some financial obligation. Seriously, I have...
