Hello All! I am writing to see if anyone knows what to do in my situation. We were active duty AF until last April, Retired in AK. Brought my mini that I never registered with us. I originally bought her mother named Lucy (in foal at the time) from a lady in Malta, MT 9 years ago. I have...

Hello Y'all! I'm back with more questions for ya! Unfortunately, I did not get all of my tack for the girls when they were shipped up here to Alaska. Can anyone tell me of a good source of minature tack & grooming supplies in the Anchorage area? I found TONS of them in the lower 48 but the...

Hello everyone. The kids & I are having a BLAST having the mini girls up here with us in Alaska FINALLY! My question is this...is there any way to train a mini who goes to the bathroom INSIDE the stall to do it outside? My 19 yo mare does her business INSIDE & since we were told that if the...

Just had to write to share my happiness! My mini mares made it here today. They are safely installed in their new home! God bless! ~Kim

Just had to pop in to say that my mini mares are FINALLY being delivered here to us in Anchorage, Ak!!! They've been in Spokane, WA with my best friend since January... The hauler WAS supposed to give me a 2 days heads up...so I could arrange to get the base vet to examine them & get all the...

Hello Y'all! Just wanted to write to say that we're FINALLY going back to WA to pick up my 2 mini mares! ((We relocated (Air Force) to Anchorage, AK & had to leave my girls behind due to HORRIBLE weather in Jan.)) Anyhow, we've tentatively set the date for the end of Aug...that is, IF DH...

Hello Everyone. I've been away for a looooong time. I wrote last year about moving from WA to AK. Well, we've made the move, but had to leave the mini's behind with my friend because at the time, it was the dead of winter....one of the harshest in recorded history for that area! So much snow...

Hi Y'all! I'm writing again to pick your collective brains! My famly & I are leaving to go to AK, as you might know by now, & the date's been moved up. My husband wants to visit his grandparents before going, ((they live in Battleground; WA, the sw part of the state, not too far from...

Y'all know by now we're headed to AK in Jan. I'm REALLY excited except for one thing...I'm worried about finding other mini enthusiasts once we get up there. AND reputible breeders as well, because I want to breed my 5 yo mare & start my own little "herd!" Can anyone tell me if they know of...

Hello Y'all! I'm writing for some help. My daughter is taking my Paint mare to live with her as soon as living arrangements (for Mischief, the Paint) can be found. ((I'm the one taking the 2 minis with me to AK!)) She just recently moved to in Killeen, TX. Does anyone know of any good...

I just found out that I can take my 2 mini's to Alaska with us on the Alaska Marine Highway & it'll put us a measly 60 miles from Anchorage! SO, no worries about driving in the dead of winter...they are going with us on the ferry! I'm so happy I could do flips! Just wanted to share my good news!

Once again, my husband changed his mind & we are now back to having our 2 mini's hauled to Alaska, instead of hauling them up ourselves. We have to go from Spokane, WA to Elmendorf AFB, AK (outside Anchorage) & be there no later than 28 Feb 09. DH returns from Korea the first week of Jan...

Dear Folks, I am starting my search for the best (and affordable) winter blankets for my 2 girls for our trip to Alaska this coming Jan / Feb. I want the warmest ones I can find, as we'll be traveling during the coldest months for that region. I've been advised to make sure the trailer is...

Morning Y'all! I just wanted to find out if anyone knew what steps / procedures are necessary to have a miniature horse certified as a therapy horse? I know there are many different things you have to do to have a dog considered therapy trained...but know nothing about the regulations for...

Hi All! It's me...your neighborhood pest! Back with yet MORE questions!?! Since we'll be moving to Anchorage, AK next Feb, I thought I'd find out from y'all if anyone knows of any reputible mini breeders up in AK? I would love to breed my Ruffian & if I don't do it before leaving Spokane...

I just wanted to let y'all know that Cherry is home! Thanks to wonderful Anna...we now have our 2nd mini! Tomorrow I will introduce her to my 5 yo mare (Ruffian) & get her accustomed to her as a "roommate!" I'm STILL on cloud 9!

I just HAD to share the great news! We go to get "Cherry" tomorrow! She's the 18 year old mare I was askiing y'all the age questions about! The kids & I are so excited that I'm having a hard time settling down enough to go to sleep! It feels like Christmas Eve for me! Thanks for letting me...

Hi Y'all! I'm back...to bug you with more questions! Would it be ok to train an older horse (in this case, Cherry!) to drive? Besides obviously going slow & getting her into shape first...are there any other reasons / restrictions an older horse would have that a younger one would not? Thanks...

Hello Everyone! I am new to this forum, but now that I've found it...y'all are in trouble! Anyhow, the reason I'm writing is to ask a few questions. I'have a 5 year old mini mare I've had since birth & a 16 yo Paint mare. I am going to be getting 2 more mini's (My husband has NO idea! He's in...
