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...

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...

I got a phone call tonight from a friend who is fairly new to minis, but not horses in general. Her mini mare had a foal this past spring and they rebred her to the same stallion for 08. She aborted in September, the mare was pastured with the stallion. Tonight she called saying the mare is...

I was wondering what age do you give your foal it's first body clipping or hoof trimming? Wicky has started shedding out around the muzzle and eyes, but temps have been getting into the 80's lately and I'm worried he'd gonna get a cold from getting hot during the day and then maybe chilling at...

We named our Prince and Star foal Spellcaster's Dun Wicked because he was such a lil brat and always being bad. Well he's really living up to his name. Last night I came home and hubby told me he'd found Wicky in the back with the big horses and fillies. Needless to say his Mom was NOT happy...

:new_shocked: We took 4 of the mares in today for the 4-H kids to judge. It was the area H&P Judging competition. It was really funny when the girls started coming out of the trailer. You saw coaches scrambling to help their kids before the judging started on how to judge minis LOL. When I...

I'm trying to come up with some ideas for obstacles besides the easy ones like, walk a bridge, sidepass, back thru an L or U. If you use a jump how high is it normally? What about tarps on the ground?

I want to rebreed Star, but not on her foal heat. IF memory serves me correct she should have her foal heat 7-9 days after foaling correct? Approx. when should she come back into heat after that?

We put Star and the baby outside for the first time today since it was so nice. I tell you what this lil colt is full of tick and vinegar! In the stall he comes straight up and starts chewing on you, romps about kicking and in general being a snot. When we put them outside today he just about...

Ok, I haven't figured this out yet. How do you add pics to your posts? I'm used to just clicking a button and uploading them lol. I know you click the little pic button, but what do you do then? It brings up a new box wanting you to type in the location of a picture. I want to add pictures...

Wooo Hooo it finally arrived! Star delivered a beautiful grullo colt, just like daddy, with a big white star on his head. Both Mom and Baby seem to be doing great. He's a real handful already lol romping about the stall demanding mom to met his ever whim lol. Now we just have to come up with...

I've done trail with the big horses and read the rule books, but I still have some questions for training the minis. One of my big questions is about side passing. I'm used to giving leg cues, or using my hand to give cues were my leg would be when I'm on the ground. How do you teach the...
