What do you think the measurements should be for 30--34 inch minis. How high off the ground for the first pipe? Is 6 feet too long? What should the top measurement be? And how wide? I guessed about 2 1/2 feet? I found a welder who is willing to make one for me. I am going to pour a...

I have two new foals, they are just over 2 months old. I don't want to do anything that takes longer to undo if I do it wrong. I would love to take the clippers to them but I sure don't want a rodeo. Thanks in advance for any suggestions Tamarack

My new colt born this morning is not trying to find the teat, but just sucks the mares leg. I have milked her and fed the milk to him with a syringe. I don't know how much or how often to feed him. Also, how can I encourage him to find 'the right spot'? thanks in advance. Tamarack

He was born today around 5am. The mares bag is so tight. I milked her and have fed him with a syringe 4 times today. Please advise on how often and how many CC's this baby should be getting. He wants to suck the mares leg and doesn't even attempt to find her bag. Thanks in advance. Tamarack

Oh how frustrating this has become to have adult (mid thirty) kids asking for money to pay their car payments and utilities when they always have whatever else they want. My husband is at fault for giving in too often but it has really caused feelings. Now the grandson wants to do a 4 H steer...

Sunny went in Wednesday to be castrated. I asked the vet to check his teeth. He said they need to be floated but all he had was a big horse T-wrench. I have since found the whole set in a catalog and it is almost $500. :new_shocked: Should my vet be expected to buy one just to take care of...

Spirit is my first foal and I am very attached to him. His mom is the best. I hate the thought of having to separate them. All my pastures and corrals are attached. I have two other mares. Can I just put him in with them? HE will be 5 months old in October. Mom has been bred back. How...

I am trying to get my husband interested in mini wagons. We had a Belgian at one time and he loved logging with him. Now we just want to give the grandkids a ride. Any good companies out there that offer a variety of buckboards, covered wagons or other fun wagons? Thanks for your help. Tamarack

I have just started to shop for something to safely haul my two minis in. Not long distances but trips to the vet and trips with my cart to our county fair. I have priced the regular mini trailers, but the freight cost to get one to Oregon is more than the cost of the trailer. Someone has...

This is my first time posting and I have a question about what age to castrate a colt? He has been bity since the hour he was born, is this normal? He is also very head/ear shy and all I do is love him. Any suggestions? Thank you Tamarack
