Thanks so much for the advice guys! I'll be sure to double check that he's getting the right amount for his weight and we were thinking about adding a third meal as well. Right now they have an overload of grass so they only get hay sparingly, but during the fall/winter they get free choice. Has...

We have an older Miniature gelding who has always been very easy to keep weight on, but this last winter hit him pretty hard and he lost a good bit of weight (he's in his late teens now). We had the vet out to float his teeth and we switched his grain over to Senior feed (our other Minis are on...

Hay is horrible here! We're going through a drought (usally we have about 35 inches of rain here by now and last I heard we were at 13 inches, but it's rained some since) The man we usually buy from is afraid to cut because of fire and earlier this year he couldn't cut, because the hay hadn't...

Everyone's comments made me laugh I guess we've all experienced the photo taking woes! haha I posted some photos on the photo forum (I was just testing out some ways to get their attention better) and my dog's squeaky toy worked pretty well! I atleast got their ears up and all

LOL you just described my filly I usually end up running across the pasture and atleast getting a couple of her while she stares at me like I've lost my mind...then she makes her way back to investigating everything I'm doing haha. But like you said, it's better to have them be friendly than...

I know what you mean when you say it's hard to take pictures of the horses when they're right in your face! LOL t's almost impossible to get pictures without someone else distracting them for you haha

Thanks

Could someone explain what joint ill is? I read a little article on it, but I don't really understand what it is. Does it commonly go along with septic foals? I really hope Tease and Annie the best. This foaling business sure isn't for the faint at heart, but the few happy moments seems to make...

That's fantastic!! What a blessing your vet is! And your mare must be one heck of a fighter I hope everything keeps going as smoothly as today

Well, you'll never have to worry about snow, but hurricane season and the 90% humidity is always fun I'm just kidding, the South is great It seems like once you live here you can't ever leave! LOL I've never lived up north but it's snowed here once in my life (also being the only snow I've...

Thanks everyone I'm glad I was just being worried over nothing!

Thanks for the reasurance! And no, she's never had a foal, but she has the same "shape" as our mare who has LOL. I'm glad she doesn't look too overly fat to you. She's the only one who I'd consider too heavy for my liking and she's BY FAR the tallest of our Minis so "logically" you'd think she'd...

She's gorgeous! I love her head

Thanks guys! They're a funny bunch

I was reading the post about the new purina Miniature Horse & Pony feed and I saw a lot of comments about yearlings needing more than the average adult Mini (which makes since), but it made me a little paranoid about our filly She gets fed exactly the same as the rest of our minis (all adults...

I just love this little girl And her mama too, even though she's the biggest diva alive Rose still trying to figure out what the green thing is xD Then she also became unamused LOL I love doing these shots, they make me laugh Daisy and Guin looking at the toy...poor Daisy is so...

I posted a topic the other day on how you guys get good conformation shots of your horses. I haven't had the chance yet to try taking photos in the early morning light or with any help, but today I just went out and tried something new to get their attention I found one of my dog's squeaky frog...

It's funny how last year you had two loud paints and this year three solids! lol They're beautiful nontheless!

Thanks so much! I can't wait to put everyone's tips into use and get some nice pictures! Good thing my camera can hold 900+ pictures LOL.

I'm glad you got a good laugh! And your description sounds JUST like me and my mom! She doesn't know how to work the camera so I take them, but then we're bickering over the moving horse, where the best background is, the positioning of the horse, etc. And we actually get a long very well...
