Thanks for the guidelines. They make sense. I don't even have a cart so no danger right now of overloading her. I was just surprised that she seemed to enjoy ground driving so much. Most important to me is a happy healthy little mule. We both have a lot to learn and look forward to it...

I have a mini mule named Ceci (short for Cecelia) who is three years old and pretty tiny. I don't think she weighs 300. She's a scrapper, of course, but I am wondering if a mini mule can be too small to drive. I have just started to ground drive her and have worked with her quite a bit (on the...

My heart goes out to you. My son and I are living on little - had to go to food pantry yesterday. Hurts but thank God it's there. Problems affording meds also for me and my aging pets also... I do have a decent job, just pays way less than the one I had before. BUT... see below: I GOT ONE...

I GOT ONE BACK!!! It's a long story but I was recently able to buy back "my" mini mule. You all know how I can't even put into words how happy it makes me. I am hoping to get a little place of my own in the spring so I can keep her (and one other something little) with me fulltime. Right...

Oh lord. I just pray this doesn't happen or isn't even tried!

Wow! They ARE spectacular!

OMG!!!! You guys are torturing me. I no longer have any minis and your pics all remind me how stinkin cute they are! Nothing cuter!

Bless you. I am so sad for you.

I too am SOOOOOOOO happy for you. Good job for hanging in there. Not too long ago I had to sell my one and only mini, and boy do I miss her!!!

You guys are just awesome. I definitely will check into the volunteering idea. I am able to visit my Q horse and mini mule if I want to. I have first rights to buy Q horse and mini horse back if/when the new owners need to sell them. Actually the person that took my mini horse said I could...

My heart is breaking and falling into the big hole I have inside me now. I had to sell my horses due to losing my job (a gorgeous Q horse I raised from a baby and my mini and mini mule). They are all in better situations than what I could give them now. I just pray it won't be too long before...

Thank you for sharing this. I am a "relative newbie" and you can't help but think "how cute" etc. But after a couple years I have come to know what you speak of. The whole unwanted horse situation is so awful. Breaks your heart. I HOPE and PRAY people heed your message.

OMG - I feel sick with sorrow just from reading this thread. I am very glad I never saw it on marestare. God bless the babies, mom and all the people who tried so hard to save them. I CAN't imagine how hard!!! I hope they hear how much they were all prayed for.

I think he's an absolute doll! And you're an angel for caring for him so well. I have learned a lot from this post and thank you for sharing.

I am so sorry for your loss. When my Dickens was gone, I felt totally lost and sick to my stomach. I also took him home one last night (full of pain meds) and even then he wanted to sleep in the crook of my arm all curled up and purring! Unfortunately I did have to make the decision to end...

Hi - Well, I've decided I'm totally confused about what kind of dewormer to give to my mini (first one). She is two years old. I've read you're supposed to alternate dewormers, but the vet here recommended to use Strongid only (not the daily) for minis. ?? What do you use and when? Thanks...

I bought my first mini last winter. She is two now. She has shed out really well but needs some clipping on her legs and head. I have been able to clip her neck and body but not her lower legs or face. She moves around too much. Any suggestions? I am the first person to ever clip her. I...

Yes, I think I will check her temp and if that's up, have the vet out for sure. She's eating as usual and her disposition is good. Thanks!

Hi - I have had my mini since last November. She is two years old. She has had a runny nose (both sides, whitish discharge) for about a week and now a cough. She doesn't act sick at all. Our vet is not scheduled to come out until June 18. If my "girl" doesn't get any worse, is that too long...

What a doll! As a new mini owner, I have to ask. Your photos are great--when you took them, were you sitting on the ground? Thanks!
