just something to think about...(IMOA) I have a regular worming routine to prevent my horses from ever getting worms! why wait for your horse to get worms and then spread them to all your other horses before you start 'treatment?

maybe try giving him a little workout before you attempt to trim him and put him in a smaller space so he can't get away ( small stall) Taylor

Wow!!!! No wonder he is lame!!! I am going to guess more so on the right front!!!! you need to fire this farrier!!! he had taken way too much toe off and to boot he rolled the toe way to much!!! You are going to have to wait a couple weeks if not more for him to be sound again (the shorter the...

I always thought that the mane and tail appeared to grow faster than large breeds because the minis are so small. probably grows at the same rate just more noticable in the smaller animal

hi i use these products all the time.the sole guard tends to be a little hard so you have to use a softer pad material in the sulcus of the frog and apply sole guard overtop. the superfast is my favorite product for repairing crack and missing peices. I also use the superfast for lateral...

Just thought that I would say that I find the average toe length (from coronary band to the ground) in miniature horses is 2 1/2" (I trim alot of minis, being a trainer, breeder, and farrier!!!) heel roughly 1/2" to 3/4" These are just averages and I hope your professional farrier knows the...

Hi BarnBum the pictures that you posted of what..kinda... your horses hooves look like.. appear like they are just being effected by either really dry or really wet conditions (hard to tell without seeing!) if you picture the live tissues that form the shape of the sole , indenting at the...

It is called seady toe when in the toe but it is the same as white line disease. white line disease doesn't usually cause lameness unless it is an extreme case affecting most of the white line. if you could take some pictures that would be more helpfull!! Taylor (farrier)

these ones are alot of work (phsically) lol!!! they need to learn how to be brave and walk on their own!!! try giving him a slight hip check everytime he leans on you and if he bounces right back ( i am sure he will) do it again. eventually he will figure out that that is your space!

hoof wall separation can be caused by white line disease. my gelding gets it once a year. the hoof wall needs to be removed in the spots where the separation is and the feet kept clean and dry. usually the white line will appear dirty.stomping at flies DOES NOT CAUSE separation in the hoof...

I have been a farrier for three years now and trim alot of minis!!! with lamenitis the lamina that attach the hoof wall to the coffin bone becomes inflamed causing discomfort when the horse breaks over on his toes. you will usually notice kind of a flicking movement when the horse moves. this...
