When I was very young, he was actually my first "big" horse, we had the same thing happen. When our vet came out, he opened his mouth, and smelled Red's breath. The vet assumed he had stomach cancer, ran some tests to confirm it, and then Red had to be euthenized. I was so young that I don't...

This little mare looks to be the same type of build as my mare. She's tall (for a mini) and long in the body. She's plump, but just doesn't have that prego bulge going on. I guess I'll have to haul her in and see if my vet can do an external ultrasound. Oh, I hope she is!!! I've just been...

Okay, I'll try to make this quick. I have a mini mare who is registered "show pony" because she's so tall. Any how, I had her bred last year in May; the 1st, 3rd, and twice on the 5th. When I took her back in July she didn't seem to come back into season and wouldn't show to the stallion. I...

Jane, I'm so very sorry! I once took in a litter of 7 pups who were one day old. I lost one in the first week, and it was extremely hard. I staid up with the little girl all night long, but there was just nothing that could be done. It's hard to loose something that you have fought or are...

MUCH agreed! Punish the DEED not the BREED! My dad owns a pit, who is the biggest lover I've ever come across!!! She gets along great with the horses, cats, even the baby calves on the ranch are never bothered by her. The only thing she ever did was tried to get a chicken at my grandpas...

You guys are all sooo awesome! I really appreciate all of the input! I always make my kids mind their manners, and that includes the furry four legged ones as well . I wont let him get away with being pushy, obnoxcious or naughty, however I appreciate ANY and ALL opinions/experiences you all...

Jane . . . YOU ARE AWESOME! THANK YOU for helping these two! I've heard it mentioned in this post, to give many small meals instead of large meals, and I believe in it whole heartidly! Too much too fast, can cause colic! Red cell is GREAT, and I also use probiotics to help them start...

No, no one around here has much experience with mini's. The vet that I've been taking him to, is a really great lady though, and she doesn't care if all he'll ever be is a pasture pet. To her he's worth saving just because. She's an animal lover through and through! So, we're good there...

You know, the pittiful part is? I'm only 27, and I don't remember things from one second to the next. What's it going to be like when I do get older . . . SCARY . It's very frusterating some times!!! BEST WISHES! Amber

WHY NOT???!!! I have not wormed him yet, I decided it would be better, considering his last home (eating out of his own feces), that I put him on a daily wormer. Just the way you put it, it sounds serious. What's the deal. THANK YOU for letting me know!

Me "again" ! On the therapy horse issue, don't laugh at me (please), on second thought go ahead and laugh ; is there any way to potty train a mini horse? How do you handle "that" issue when you take them out in a public setting. Obviously if we're at the fair or something of that nature it...

Sorry, I quoted the wrong post!!! I'm sure if you read the posts you'll understand what I was getting at .

Yeah!!! Hay cubes may be a great idea to try. I use them quite often when I'm on the road with my big horses, on the other hand they may be a bit hard to chew for them. You might just purchase one bag and give it a try. I hope you get the dry cough figured out ! Take Care! A

Hello again guys! Yep, I'm feeding alfalfa. On the chopped alfalfa, it might cause respiratory problems because it's so fine and dusty. At one point, I was going to chop all of my own hay (my grandpa has an old chopper that he used for his sheep), but my vet strongly sugested that I don't...

I just looked up the distance on Mapquest , there's just no way I could come help 1,441 miles away. I hope I don't offend anyone, but the best I can do is keep you in my prayers, but if you think of any way I could help from here LET ME KNOW!!! I'd love to do anything I could! Best Wishes to...

Hey Guys ! I recently posted about the mini horse stud (now gelding) that I rescued, and I have a few more questions. I have made a few observations since I picked him up last Thursday and I would like your opinions. 1) (A feel good observation) I have noticed that this little guy is...

I've been checking him a few times a day. I put it on him yesterday when I brought him home from the vet, just in case he didn't have his temp all the way up yet from the anesthesia. He's been warm, but not too hot or sweating as of yet, but I'll keep a close eye on him. He does have a heck...

I finally got some pictures of Cuz. I suppose I should explain his name too LOL, my24 yr old little brother is staying with us (helping us remodel) and he has fallen in love with "Cuz". Any how, he hadn't come to us with a name, so the first night we did some brain storming. My little brother...

Okay, I think my little "degree of addiction" status is incorrect, I've posted all of 4 or 5 times, and I'm HOOKED (I'm not even going to try to break this habbit, I'll just wave the white flag LOL) I just checked out Chances Website, and I may just contact them. I'm going to try to make a...

I SURE wish I were closer!!! I'd be there in a "hoof beat" ! However, I'll keep Reo in my thoughts!!!
