I haven't been in a mini show (yet) but I do show 'big' horses in English jumper classes and equitation and I definitly have a big problem smiling. What helps me is to first see to the horse and then just 'let go' and think positive thoughts "I'm gonna do MY best, if the judge decides to place...

Thanks for the input everyone. Suzi is pretty mature, though she can be spunky when the mood takes her : I really hope we won't have to abort but I'll see what the vet says. Oh and Stalker (the boy) is smaller than she is by a couple inches. She's my first mini and I've heard horror stories...

This scares me because she'll only be 2 in june. I knew she was in heat, so I had her in the dry lot while he was grazing. It's an electric tape fence and she was able to somehow pull the lower one down, duck under and run out to the pasture to him. We weren't home while all this was going on or...

Oh these little boys!! Our colt Stalker HATES standing for pictures, so on the night before we take his AMHA pictures he finds the biggest mess of GRAY mud and has a ball!! It took us the better part of an hour the next morning to get him so that you could see his color (he's a silver pinto)...

I'm such a 'newbie' to all this, won't pretend I'm not, but from what I've heard about mares with a history of c-sections and no foals, I think that if you REALLY want this mare (I know the feeling- had to pass a few heart-throbbers before I found my little mare) you should get her as a pet...

I'm hoping to breed my Blue-Eyed Suzi (instead of black-eyed susan) to my sister's Ima Blue Stalker and some of the future foal's name options are: IMA (BLUE) HUNTER (after his daddy) ONCE IN A BLUE MOON aka Luna (only if we get a filly obviously) OR BLUE JAZZ aka Jazzy (could be for colt or...

I'm hoping to teach Suzi and Stalker to drive (possibly together) and don't have a clue as to what carts would be reliable. I might show one or both of them but not sure about that yet so I think I'm mostly looking for a pleasure cart. Is it possible to have a cart that I could use for single...

My sis and I got our first minis this year (July). I'm 13 and sis is 8. 'Got into' minis when I was 11, though. It took 2 years to convince dad!! But once he saw Stalker (Suzi's boyfriend/future hubby) at Bill's (our breeder) place, I think the battle was won. Although dad said our two dogs...

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just thinking about the pain and suffering some animals (not just horses) go through simply because they are a 'lesser species' feels like someone thrust a dagger into the very core of my soul! It makes me want to cry and scream and give 'some people' more than just...

............OMG!!! .................. Are there words to describe Legend's head and COLORING?!! What did you do right to get him?!! Hope you realise how blessed you are to have him. PLEASE give him a kiss for me, I only wish I could see him in person (horsen??)

I don't know if it would be the length of her hoofs troubling her as the farrier recently trimmed them, but I'll check it out. Thank you for you help!

Thanks for the input!

LOVE blue eyes! My baby girl has one BRIGHT blue eye and one that I think is half blue half PURPLE(!!) and her eyes are the first thing I noticed about her and that led me to buying! Please post pics I would love to see some other 'blueys'. And did someone say AMBER EYES!!? PLEEEESE post pics...

hi I'm a newbie mini lover and I have a question about my mini (blue eyed suzi). I recently (July) got a mini filly and I read up as much as I could but this one has me baffled. I was up at our barn today and noticed suzi was walking with a weird 'pop' in her hip and thought she might have a...
