My cousin's horses were attacked and one of them killed by an 18 year old nut job. He told law enforcement they were laughing at him. While not exactly miniatures, these gentle geldings were raised and cared for with love. My cousin lives near my mom in a small rural town where these things just...

Every fall my late father's VFW puts together "Treats for Troops" boxes to send to deployed soldiers for Christmas. My mom belongs to the VFW Auxiliary and just now told me they also include deployed Military Dogs! Each dog gets his or her own box also! All year the Auxiliary collects items...

Finding good, safe, reliable, harness/driving trainers is almost impossible. How do you all find them? I'm going to possibly need one in the future. Thanks

I have a coming 3 yr. old colt that is out of a AMHR sec.A mare that was given to me when she was pregnant. The previous owners moved across the country and I have not been able to find them. I'm guessing the mare was at most 30 days pregnant so I don't even know if they knew about it. She...

Has anyone used those large bale hay nets with their minis? Our choices for hay baled in different forms is getting smaller and we may have to go with large round bales. I don't like them because a horse can stick their face in the bale and breathe in all sorts of unhealthy things. I am...

My daughter is planning a trip to Toronto to see the sights. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? Is there anything she should avoid? Are there hotels that should be avoided? She will be flying in from Duluth. Thanks

I was thinking of offering soaked beet pulp to my pet goats (Nigerian Dwarf) as a treat. Has anyone done that?

Here's the story - - - In early June last year 2011 we got a very nice mini mare. We did not know at the time that the mare was about 15 days pregnant. I thought the mare was the only mini this woman had. On April 21, this year, we were very surprised to find the most beautiful, perfect...

Buy Glow sticks. They will give about 9 hrs. of light and are safe. Fill Zip Loc Bags not quite full, with water, and put as many as you can in your freezer. They will help keep things cold when elec. goes out and you will also have water to drink when they thaw. Have canned foods (and a...

I am the only one with mini horses in my vet's practice area. The vet clinic is very practical and affordable and good with my horses. It is not cost effective, however, for them to purchase mini dental equipment for the few times I need them so they make do with what they have. I would like...

We bought a coming yearling this spring from a bad situation. Her feet had never been trimmed. They were very long, she was walking on her pasterns/back heels. We got her home and trimmed her up with a good angle then had to deal with two weeks of laminitis from the drastic change. That all...

What happens when an AMHR - B measures over the 38" max? Are papers no good then? Can ofspring still be registered? Can a person apply to the Shetland Pony Registry? Thanks in advance!

Our 32 year old mare was sick several times. We have finally figured out it is ulcers. All regular health maintenance is up to date. I am now giving her 300 mg of Cimitidine 2 times a day crushed up in applesauce with a little corn syrup. This has made her comfortable and symptoms have gone...

With the steady increases in gas prices it occurs to me how economical it would be to haul a small mini with our little Ford Ranger rather than using my Expedition with the big horse trailer. Does anyone know if mini size slide in-the-box hauling shells exist? Thanks!

I like the look of Hyperbikes, they look like a lot of fun. Are you closer to the ground? Do you have more control or the opportunity for more control in an emergency? Do you feel more safe with one as compared to a cart? Thanks

My best friend's son has been diagnosed by a specialist with Ulcerative Collitis. He is on meds but between that and angry intestines (puss and some blood, sorry if too graphic) he is losing weight and just can't find anything that works to settle things down any little bit. He is getting run...

I want to have one of these units to put onto my personal vehicle so I can rest assured it is being used in a safe manner. These units record speed, locations, times, etc. I think the less expensive ones you plug into your computer to retrieve information. I don't want the one where you...

I had one nice lady want my driving mare. I spent hours with her. She got to meet the mare and they got along. The mare was everything I said she was. Lady says she will take her. One small forgotten detail...planning and zoning won't let her have a horse in the back yard and her hubby is...

Got this off my dog list. On Thursday Nov. 10, a home was broken into and ransacked, items taken. Worst of all the kennel was broken into and 3 microchipped Komondors were taken. One was a working dog and would not have gone willingly. They range in age from pup to adults, their coats in...

Our two year old filly is such a love and a sweetie, that is until you want to trim her left front foot. She rears and wrestles,etc. She stands very nicely for all her other feet. No swelling, no tenderness, no heat, just a behavior thing. We can brush the leg and foot, just not pick it up...
