    Feed Opinions Wanted

    We like the Dynasty Pro and Sr and have found they work best with alfalfa cubes vs a grass hay. Not sure what the deal is with that??? lol Of course like everything they have jumped in price too. I think they've went up $4.00/bag since we started using them over a year ago.

    Safe-Guard Equi-Bits

    Our horses ate them without a second thought. I've also used the safe guard cattle pellets, same drug, just half the price.

    What is the best thing to feed a miniature horse

    We've always had a lot of shade too. I thought this place had a decent amount of it in the pasture they used for the geldings. We've normally had dark colored horses too. So I was really shocked when he did this and how fast he did it. I'd love to hear if more have shown a sensitivity to the...

    vitamin/mineral supplement

    I was talking with an ADM rep the other day and he recommended the Grow Strong Mintrate for growing babies. It has the vitamins, minerals and probotics in it.

    What is the best thing to feed a miniature horse

    Do you find the flax makes pinto/white horses more suseptable(sp) to sun posioning? I've used linseed in the past, but a few years back my daughter's paint horse was being boarded where a lot of the other 4-Hers had their horses. They supplemented with a small amount of Ultium. Her horse, who...

    tails

    Come fall we clean the tails well, super condition them, braid and wrap them up in vet wrap. They dont come down again normally until spring. By this time they are normally dragging the ground. Generally, from a judges point of view, I don't like tails dragging the ground or overly full. It...

    Bedding

    I hate the straw, because it's hard to clean. I hate the sawdust, because it's dusty. We tried the corn cob bedding last year and I love it. Takes a few more bags to fill a stall, but no dust, easy to clean, and very absorbant. You do have to make sure they aren't eating a bunch of it thou.

    Hoosier Spring Fling Show

    Please help me!!! Dreamer is having a pelvic nerve lock

    I must say this scares the day lights out of me. I can't see the web cam, so I don't know what is going on. I had a friend lose a mare and foal just a few weeks ago. Similar sounding situation.... She was going out checking on the mare, found her down and thought cool here we go. Well the...

    Training Books and Videos

    I've noticed a couple different serious of books and videos out there on training miniatures. Everything from grooming, halter, trail/obstacle, jumping and driving. As with any training advise there are poor, decent, good, and great. Which ones would you recommend, why and how do you rate the...

    Pintaloosa or roaning

    I'll try to get a few pictures of her today before the rain comes in. We've been gone all weekend at the Hoosier Horse Fair. Took the girls in for the 4-H horse and pony judging competition. That was a lot of fun! The girls really enjoyed all the attention.

    Pintaloosa or roaning

    I body clipped one of our 3yr old girls this week. She is a bay pinto, or so I thought. Once I got the hair off of her I found a new white spot on her neck (different then her other "pinto" markings looks like someone did a bad airbrush job) and tons of "roaning" on her hips. Neither Mom or...

    4-H

    Indiana 4-H does not allow ANY youth or adult to have a stallion at any type of 4-H event. I've often had mixed feelings on stallions being allowed in 4-H. However, what I've noticed is that most families don't have enough horse knowledge to properly handle and train mares and geldings. Let...

    Aborting Mare

    I heard from my friend this morning and she didn't find anything in the stall this morning. Her mare is also back to acting normal. So maybe it was just a mild case of colic or something. Either way you can bet she's going to keep a close eye on her for the next several days. Thanks for the...
