I'm considering getting a stallion and wanted to know what you all had to say in regards to temperment. I've heard people say that stallions are mean. Thoughts?

I know there are some pregnancy tests out there for mares but I've not found any that I could purchase. Actually, the one's I found that I would need are in another country. Molly should be 150 days along.

Hi. For my daughter's 10th birthday she got a mare and her little filly (Pixie). Pixie was born July 4 so she's just 4 months old. I know she shouldn't be weaned right now, but when? I've read 6 months. We are keeping both Molly (Mom) and Pixie and they're in the pasture together. Will...

We've had a bad thing happen to poor little Pixie! My cousin has this Great Dane that he rescued and I'd been nervous about introducing him to the horses. He is not an aggessive dog, however he come from the city and I'm sure has never been around horses and cows. Well, my cousin has one of...

Pixie is digging in the dirt and eating it. I'm assuming she's lacking something. What?

Molly has bots on when we got her so on this past Monday I wormed her. I can't remember the name of the stuff I wormed her with, but it was in packets (I have one left at home) and was sprinkled on her feed. My question is... How long after their wormed do the bots go away? I'm wondering if...

Any ideas on how to keep water from freezing when there is no electrical outlet near the barn for an electric de-icer to float in the water. I'd think they'd make solar power or battery powered one's but I've not found any doing searches on the Net. Any of you that don't have electric near...

Sorry to show my ignorance to you all, but I've had several reply to my post about dirt barn floor with the suggestion to use pellets and I don't know what kind of pellets your talking about. And where do you get them? I mean, there's rabbit pellets, chicken food pellets... I'm assuming that's...

I looked in the help section and couldn't find anything about how to post a picture in the text of my posts. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Also on the avitar settings where I post a picture... how can I do it where I can put say, three pictures up there and it shows them like a slide...

For my daughter's 10th birthday me along with grandparents, aunt and uncle got her a mini mare and her little 3 month old filly. The filly had never had a halter on until today when mine arrived from PrimeDesign (very nice and helpful that Debbie is, btw). I know nothing about halter breaking...

My barn has a dirt floor. Should I layer the whole floor with straw or just an area where I know Molly and Pixie like to sleep? Any other suggestions for a dirt floor are appreciated! Thank you all! Incidentally, how do I post a picture with my postings? Meaning, included in the post.

I was looking at the picutes listed to vote on and there were several where the mini's were in the house. My question... Do you all let your mini's in the house? I was reading in Horse Illistrated where they say NOT to do that.. treat them like you would a big horse. What's your thoughts? My...

Can anyone tell me where in the world I can find a halter for my daughter's 3 month old mininature? Thanks, Shelley

Have any of you found any toys that your mini's like? I know there is some type of a ball with a handle that is for horses to entertain themselves. My sister bought one for her full size mare and she turned her nose up at it though. Just wondering if any of you have tried anything like...

Hi. I'm new to the board and have a question I need a really quick answer to. I've bought my daughter a mare and filly miniatures for her birthday. I'm picking them up tonight and need to know what size of water trough I need for them? A lady at the local feed store told me a 2x2x4, does...
