    Build A Bear shoes for larger minis?

    I have not actually measured his feet, but I am considering finding some "shoes" for him to wear on our public outings. He's a 36" mini...so not a real little guy. I have seen posts about these shoes (certain kinds) doing GREAT for their minis, and wondering if a B size mini might be too big...

    Sharing some Holiday "Magic" with my mini

    One of our horses, "Magic," a black AMHR 12 year old gelding, is going to accompany me this Saturday bell ringing for the Salvation Army. I'm working on putting his holiday attire together, he ought to be quite cute! I have had Magic since he was 2, and he was my first mini. I trained him to...

    mini horses as guide animals

    I'm just curious what other mini horse enthusiasts think of using minis as guide horses? Seems a lot of people are for it.... the longer lifespan being a biggie, which makes sense. Enlighten me! I don't breed or show, I have minis as pets....since getting my first one 10 years ago. I have...

    Trick or Treating with the mini

    I thought I'd share...almost every year we take one of our minis, Magic, trick or treating with us. It started the first year with the idea that I wanted to have some fun while my son did...so I hitched Magic up to his cart, threw on a pair of devil horns around his head, and put glow sticks on...

    Who made carports into a barn??

    Ok, so a friend had an emergency, and we doubled our herd. I need to do something for hay storage. I am looking into those coverall things, however what I really like is the person who made a series of barns using carports that they enclosed with wood. Was it cheaper or about the same price...

    Trimming donkey feet

    I remember at one time on one of the donkey websites seeing a booklet you could purchase to learn more about trimming your own donkeys' feet. I have a farrier, but I trim my mini and my Arab mare myself, and would like to do the donkeys' as well. I have never tried this, however a friend of...

    Do you ultrasound for pregnancy checks?

    I am taking one of my girls up to have a date with a 32" brown jack next week. I'm gonna want a third donkey...and why not the fun of breeding for one! We've never had a mini anything born here...it would be fun not to have something born that isn't 140 lbs! To save on "jenny care," I've...

    SOOOOO buddy sour!

    I am having a lot of fun with my new girls! Gracey, the younger of the two, has been driving VERY well....she's a little spitfire...or can be, but put her in front of a cart and she knows her job! She doesn't care about being separated from Kochia, but Gracey has lived the 6 years of her life...

    Naughty donkey!

    So Gracey has only been here a week. The donks seemed miserable with the flies bothering their ears....I was putting Swat in the ears and wiping flyspray on the outsides of them. Grace has had me messing with her ears with no trouble! But I was warned of this by her previous owner, and I have...

    Donkey Fly Masks (with ears)

    Can anyone recommend a reputable place to order them from? I see the Crusader masks come with donkey ears, do any others? And where do you buy them from? I'm not seeing much! Thanks! Angie

She's 36", registered, JoMaGo Kochia, she's 14, and had been used several years as a brood jennet. She is not comfortable with our critters here at all..... but...

    Jacks at stud

    Hi, I am wondering if it's pretty common for people to offer their jacks at stud to outside jennets? I have seen ads occasionally for mammoth jacks for mule foals, but I am wondering about mini jacks and where would be a good place they would be advertised? I am in the Madison, WI area...

    How do you add the "horsey touch" to your farm?

    I saw the concrete mini post and that pic of the farm sign with the two horse statues...very cute! It is time to replace our mailbox and I have bought one, painted it, and am waiting to find some horse decals to decorate it with. Someone else on here posted photos awhile back on her new...

    Learning patience while being tied

    My guy will stand tied quietly for grooming...he enjoys that time. But if I leave him tied and am doing something other than paying attention to him, he starts...not panicking or throwing a fit, just protesting. I now have a rubber mat on the floor where I tie, because he pawed himself a huge...

    Training to Drive

    I started ground driving my mini (36" gelding) last summer with halter and lead rope. Once we had that down, I introduced the bit. This winter, I introduced the entire harness. He catches on well and is doing great. I drove years ago, but the horses (draft team) were already broke...so...
