Our Church had a ceremony on this past Sunday afternoon called Blessings of the animals. We borrowed a friend's horse trailer and hauled Duke, Cowboy and the dogs Buddy and Roxie up to be Blessed. The horses did great. Better then the dogs. Thanks for letting me share. The horses were a hit...

My 6 yr old gelding started eating his and the stallion's poop..... they get fed twice a day (Purina - Miniature and Pony feed + coastal/burmuda hay). Not sure why he started this nasty habit. What do you think is missing in his diet? Or is he doing it out of boredom? The gelding and...

I wanted to share how my gelding name Duke is looking. I love how he has changed over the last few months. I am still working with him on his manners. He is a 4 yr old and wasn't handled much so we are learning to lead, stand tied, etc. The first two pictures are from April 2012, the next two...

Hello forum family, I just wanted to share my joy. Some of you might remember I've been helping this fella with getting his mini herd ready to sell and I kept running into road blocks . He finally agreed to use a different farrier. I got a name from someone I knew and then I asked around the...

I've been helping this man for several months now getting his paperwork current, grooming his horses, etc. He wants me to take charge in posting and selling his herd as he has no time to do any of it. We still need to get two mares registered as parent qualified. Plus one little mare he bought...

Good evening forum family. I wanted to see if ya'll had some advice or ideas on helping Cowboy put the weight back on that he lost during his battle with the Pigeon Fever. I have been feeding him Stradegy 2 full cups twice a day along with good quality coastal hay. With Stradegy should I need...

My sweet Cowboy is headed back to the vet this afternoon. I took him a week ago Monday because I felt a lump under his jaw bone. ( near his throatlatch area) They took a biopsey (sp) and it came back today as Pigeon Fever. I had brought him home on Sat and was told to use a warm compress on the...

The owner of the little mare I had posted about her contracted hoofs, and the other little mare who I believe is foundered is heading to the vet tomorrow. The vet will board them till Monday then do a full lameness exam and x-rays on Monday. I am so happy he listened to me. The little mare who I...

We are so happy to bring him a new friend. Of course Cowboy was all exited because there was a horse in that trailer. He danced around his pen talking up a storm. We put him in the stall so we could bring Duke in and put him in his adjoining pen. Once he was in, we let Cowboy out of the stall...

I am helping a friend clean up his mini herd so he can sell them. There are 2 stallions, 7 mares, 1 gelding and a mini donkey. I am getting the gelding as part of the deal for helping him find good homes for all but 1 stallion, 1 mare and the mini donkey. There is one little mare who's feet...

As some may remember the plight of the pit bull dog attack, where we lost our precious Pearl. I am happy to say we are getting a gelding. It may be a week or so, but I'm sure Cowboy will be glad to have a friend. He is a chunky boy, he and his companions have been out to pasture and all are a...

It is one month to the day that our beautiful Pearl passed away. Cowboy is healing up nicely. He still has a few places that we are putting medicine spray gel on. He seems happy with being home and showered with lots of love and attention. Thank you all for all your kind words during this time.

Why is it we don't follow our 6th sense when it comes to pit bulls?? My husband and I were out of town last weekend helping my son move my daughter-in-law and new grandson back to San Angelo. My father-in-law was tending to our 2 miniatures, 2 dogs and cat while we were away. We had new...

It all started around 6:30 this morning, we heard a noise. My husband got up and let the dogs out to the side yard. I heard a neighbor's dog barking, then my dogs started barking like something was wrong. I got up and looked out the backdoor and my two minis were running around their pen...

After months of fret and worry, I found new homes for 2 miniatures out of the 3 horses my ex got in the divorce and he wasn't taking proper care of them. He had stopped buying hay, just buying feed and they were grazing on weeds! It was all about the $$$, he didn't care about the horses, he...

My 2 yr old filly has changed a bit. As a yearling she looked like a cremello, but she has more of a grey color on her coat. She also has distinctive back socks, which as a yearling she looked all white or cream color.She has a Wide Blaze and her right eye is blue. Her sire is a red roan pinto...

We are very pleased to announce the birth of our last baby for the year. She was born Aug 25th at 10:45am while I was in the barn body clipping my 4 month old filly. I did have to help, she was coming out one leg and nose, I pushed her back and found both legs and got her started. I am very...

I use daily dewormer Continuex D and save the stickers and mailed them in for my free paste dewormer. Farnam mailed me the Combocare gel. Is this safe for mini's ?? I won't use it if it's not.   Please advise.   Thanks Trish

: Boy, it's been a struggle trying to find hay at a reasonable price..... coastal at our local feed store is running about $8 a bale. I can't see spending that when we were able during the summer to get fresh cut hay for $5.50. I thing I remember there are some out in our mini world that...

I am so frustrated, my 5 yr old filly has a locked stifle, it happened a couple of months ago and lasted about a day. We are going on 4 days now. I have rubbed her leg, walked her. We can't get it to loosen up and what I call "Pop". I will make an appointment w/ the vet in the morning. A friend...
