I have a neighbor that uses the "flooding" method and it scares the heck out of me. Not to mention the poor horse that is terrified and running at a full gallop in a round pen trying to escape whatever it is she decides to tie to it's saddle. She has some seriously dead-broke horses at her...

Well, I just found the answer by calling our local dealer (I was anxious when I posted last night!). He said we could buy pony sized shafts, "or just cut them down to 60". I'm not sure which I'll do.

I don't think you'll have a hard time at all finding one to fit you if you stick to the round skirting. I think you would be comfy in a 15" because that is what I have tried and was happy with . Do check out the synthetic Wintec because it really looked nice on that size pony. I happen to love...

Hi Dona, I have a POA the same size as your gorgeous new boy but mine has "No spots! No spots at all!" (Remember that line from 101 Dalmations?). She usually fits smaller horse sized bridles, like cob but she can also usually fit the pony bridles on the last holes . . She uses a 5" bit which...

Hi everyone. It's been ages since I've checked in here. My mini boarders left about a year ago and while I still have 2 ponies, my focus was on my STB and some TB fosters for the last ocuple years. Things have slowed down and now...my STB is retiring and I am shifting my focus to driving the 40"...

I'd take her too - Remmy needs a companion as he's all alone now because I can't keep him with the big horses. When I bought him he was the companion for an old Appy gelding....I felt so guilty buying him and taking him from his needy buddy (the owner transitioned another companion before he...

I can't resist donkeys...I've never had one and never "needed" one - but in a few weeks my 40" pony will be losing his 2 pasture mates (boarders that I have given notice) and he'll be alone. I can't put him with the horses because he is on a diet, and they are all mares so they pick on him...

I think Picture It is unavailable now (literally as a couple days ago). Hmmm...I don't know Infraview...did that come with your camera? If you can get a picture into Paint then you can probably put a mark of some kind on your picture. I wish I could help. I use 3 different programs but none of...

Concerning watermarks (I tried to quote...I'm a moron...I know you mentioned it somewhere!) Steph, what photo editor are you using?

I wish you weren't taking it so personally. I am a daily reader of the FHOTD blog...and while I saw the picture I never made the connection to Faith (I am slow). While the blog is harsh and sometimes unfair (surely some of those pictures are just poor angles!), the place that she is coming...

Thanks. I did not read the whole blog *blush* because I didn't want to get ittitated - assuming the wrong thing. I read it and do understnd the difference now. Thanks for pointing it out. Nice story and blog.

I thought this group collectively disapproved of using miniatures as guide animals? I have very strong feelings myself.

As a barn owner I must comment and agree with an above post - mini's don't take any less time or space on my farm than my large boarders. I have 2 as boarders - I charge them less ONLY because I want them to stay here (I love them) and they are also great companions for one of my own. I have...

Honey Bear became laminitic a few weeks ago - she's SO fat (she carries it well...not inher belly but in her head and neck I swear) so I didn't really notice it. She's got such a thick mane and forelock to disguise it. After that scare we became much more serious about her weight - she and...

Oh, great news! Thanks for the update....sorry about the wasted gas though .

Nothing at Shipshewana either . I'm sorry.

Thank you all for sharing more stories. These are not only inspiring but eye opening. Dona, your picture and story wrmed my heart. That is just the cutest thing ever! I'm sorry too the judge did that. Really it would be hard not to call him a jerk for that one (because it wasn't "fair" what HE...

Any news Mona?

I'll go to Shipshewana tomorrow......what would I do if I saw one like him?

Mona, I'm happy she ate. I hope thats a sign! Yes, if the triglyceride levels are high then her liver is compromised. Then you need to TELL you vet to look at hyperlipidemia and find the treatment if her levels are elevated (my vet was clueless...the members here diagnosed her and I asked him...
