I am associated with a horse rescue here in Wisconsin: Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation. They do an excellent job with the horses and they are a real rescue rather than a hoarding operation: they don't take in more horses than they can handle. They are very thorough in placing horses, have...

Last year we put a horse of ours with a trainer, and she went to World and we were very happy. The trainer is just fabulous. However, it was extremely expensive. I have another weanling filly that I think could do exceptionally well at shows, but can't afford the expense. I was toying with the...

One of my geldings has come up limping a few weeks ago. I checked his foot, and cleaned it out really well and couldn't find a thing. I got pliers and put pressure all around it and no reaction. I kept him in his stall for two days thinking maybe he got kicked somewhere up higher on the leg...

If we post a horse for sale on the sale board, do we log in using the same user name and password we use here on the forum, or do we have to re-register with new information? Thanks!

I have been reading the threads about appaloosas and pinto genes, and while I would like to gracefully stay out of that controversy, LOL, I would like to point out that some of the ways to decide what color (or classification, if you will), your horse is, such as appearance, sire, dam, and...

I was reading another post about fly control and wanted to give my opinions on it. First off, I really hate using any chemicals at all on the miniatures. With my big horses, I would purchase a $10 bottle of Permethrin concentrate, and dilute it with water and sometimes I added a little vinegar...

I've been gone from the forum for quite a while, and even when I used to be here I didn't post too much because of time constraints, but I'm hoping a few of you will remember me. I've loved looking at the pictures of all your new foals! We had only two this year, but are please with both of...

Maybe a thread about dangerous things we'd never thing of unless it actually happened might help all of us avoid future accidents! Here's two things which happened here very recently: The first thing was my smallest stallion, 28.5", ran up to the gate. My two big geldings, 15.2 hands and 17.2...

I submitted a photo and they chose it to be one of today's daily pics. If anyone is interested, we are the pic "Weebiscuits First Strike." http://www.equusite.com/

If you look at the "Ingredients" list on your feed bag, and the first item listed is either "roughage" or "grain products" then you are NOT getting the same feed every time you purchase a bag of grain! Unless the first ingredient is specific, such as "Barley" or "soybean meal" your feed company...

There is an AMHR and AMHA show this weekend in Winona, Minnesota. If you are going, please look me up! My yearling will be with Toys Miniature Horses Training Center, and I should be there most of the weekend! It would be nice to meet a few of the faces attached to the names here, LOL!

My yearling mare, Weebiscuit's Media Luna, is doing so well. I just don't know how I got so lucky, as this is the first of our horses that we started showing, and she is winning! What a feeling! I have her with Toys Miniature Training Center in Hastings, MN, and they really do bring out the...

This is our new little filly out of Harts Tip Top Flash and JTR Medicine Mans Southern Breeze. She is five days old in these pics. I was sitting outside of her stall and opened the door, hoping she would come and investigate while her mom was at the other end of the stall eating. I was getting...

I did read all your replies to my other post, but thought I might as well just post here. Last night when I was sleeping in the tack room, I kept peeking at her from the doorway. She couldn't see me, but I noticed she did do a LOT of yawning and rubbing her butt. Other than that, there was...

I have a maiden mare who is at day 336 today. For weeks her rear end muscles have been soft and relaxed. She's had a bag, but today it REALLY got hard and tight. I check her for milk every day, and today was the first time I ever got anything out of it... a clear liquid. (I'm not putting too...

This is the first get of our stallion, W.W.C. Miniature's Destiny's Rambo, a 28.5" blue-eyed tovero/sabino, and our mare, Haligonian Targets One and Only, and we are thrilled to death. He was quite tiny at birth, with 6.5" canon bones and barely 18.5" tall, so he should mature around 28". He's...

Last year was my first using the Equipage halter foal alert system. Tonight I put the alarm back on one of my mares, as she is getting close, but when I tipped the alarm it didn't make the pager go off. I sort of remember there was a way to test it, but I can't find my instruction booklet. The...

I placed my yearling filly, Weebiscuits Media Luna, with a trainer in March, and last weekend we went to our first show, which was in South Dakota. They urged me to show her in Amateur Level I halter, and I really didn't want to but ended up doing so. There were 11 mares in the class and three...

Hi Everyone! I've been responding to posts here and there and never formally introduced myself. My name is Sandy, and my husband and I live on 150 acres of beautiful hills in southwest Wisconsin. We got into minis three years ago when I was at an auction, helping a friend sell a few APHA...

At what temperature do you consider it too cold for foals to be born? I would love to move my foaling dates up to at least the middle of April, instead of late May, June, and early July, but our nighttime temps are often in the low 40's in mid April, and we don't have a heated barn. Is 40...
