Thank you very much for everyone's reply--yes, they are both geldings (though Calvin was gelded late at 9 since I only got him a year ago) and get several hours (if not the whole day) turnout daily. I will definitely try to spend some more time "just being" with them, and you're right that it's...

Okay, I am going to be very honest and open, because I am just too worried about my minis, Calvin & Beamer..Long post, but please read, I really need some insight... I have been suffering form major depression & anxiety & stuff, and am in a pretty big relapse right now..And am wondering what...

okay, no problem, thank you!!

Okay, thank you all! I will definitely be applying some spray...I do have a silly question, though...is it okay to put it on where he has the scabs? I don't want it to sting or anything...but then again, I guess that Would be the lesser of two evils.. ~TheGoldenFilly!~

Okay, so I'll cut right to the chase. I have 2 minis, and one of them has just since yesterday developed these little clotty-scab things (very small, just like the head of a needle) around random places...ie right where his forelegs meet his chest, but ESPECIALLY all around his sheath! Also...

Merci for the clarification on the PtHA site...& a "thanks!" to Mominis for your evaluation!! Okay...since my threads always seem to morph into wayyyy different topics, anyways, might as well keep going on this one....So...I am brainstorming for Calvin's registration application, and was...

Thanks, Genie Okay...so I am currently on the PtHA website...and also majorly confused...which form am I supposed to fill out? D: (I am a youth....I want to get a membership & register calvin...so where am I supposed to be??) Heh heh please excuse my spontaneous confusedility. Wait...that's...

Thanks for the replies, everyone! I think am going to look more into the PtHA. Sorry if I had any confusion in the title; I guess I meant more like "fun shows" rather than pleasure. That's a showing-newbie for you! Though, that being said...(and I don't know if you can judge just by some...

Hi all, just was wondering what you experienced mini-folks thought about my horse from a judge's/professional standpoint. I'm not going to show him until, most likely, summer '11 (unless I can find a just-for-fun day-show nearby; my other mini is ailing & can't accompany him, so I wouldn't want...

Just wanted to see if you all have any ideas on how people of all ages can raise funds for their miniatures...aka MINI-MONEY-PITS!!!!! List them, be they simple enough for a little kid, or grandeur enough for a high-class breeding farm! (They don't Have to be horse/mini related.......but as if...

Thank You for all your responds! I think I figured out the mystery... I went out to clean out his teeth...and I came back out of the spontaneously-trying-to-clamp Cave (aka his mouth) with Blood. So I grabbed a flashlight and looked in there, and he appears to have...an ulcer? (Make that, two...

Okay, two parts to this post One: The Update Dr. M came out to see Calvin. His temperature was back up to 99.8 I think it was, and his respiratory rate was normal...but she was a bit concerned about his off color in his gums. An impaction, maybe? She said to watch in the next 24 hours for...

Yep, the vet came last night, and Beamer was nonresponsive to the hoof testers--thank goodness! But still, Dr. K said that there is definitely some heat in that right front. (Still a bit today, too.) He said it is probably either an abscess he's got to blow out, or a bruise in his hoof wall...

Okay, update: ~Temperature: First time was 99.2F, the second time was 98.8F. ~Gut sounds are okay. ~Manure: Not a lot in the last day or so. It seems more....I don't really know how to describe it...not loose, but...who know's, it might just be because it hasn't had the chance to freeze yet...

Oh boy...well, thanks for the speedy reply. I guess I'm out into the inferno of ice (wait that makes no sense.....oh well). So I'll check his temp, resp. rate, and the hay...anything else? ...and to think the vet was out at the barn checking my other horse last night. That's the horse business...

My goals are as follow... Most Importantly, #1: Get Beamer to a healthy plateau in his life! #2: Prepare Calvin for Halter classes. #3: Work Calvin more over jumps this summer. #4: Buy that BEAUTIFUL western show halter for Beamer.........okay, fine, I know he's not in show condition at this...

My Basic Questions are: ~How can you tell if a horse is cold (besides shivering)? ~What are some ways to warm him up if he already has a heavyweight blanket and won't eat hay? Or ways to at least convince him to eat hay? But now I will go into full detail. Sorry so long...you can skim if you...

Thank you for replying. I was able to go out and trot him (though he wanted to buck away like CRAZY at a rodeo canter the whole time)....he looked WAY off on the hind end...though could this be a result of compensating for the front? I will contact the vet meantime. Thank you again...

Okay...this is a bit long, but I need help. BEAMER 2.5 year old gelding, ~approx. 31inches~ (He lives at my home barn with another mini gelding.) EXTRA BACKGROUND INFO In August, within about a 3-week span, he had SEVERE muscle mass loss...we called the vet out as soon as we could (it...

Hey, I know I don't post much, but wanted to share the latest video I made of my boys. Hope you enjoy! http://s598.photobucket.com/albums/tt66/th...nt=4497a843.pbr --Celia
