Do you have a kind gentle adult marre that could be a step mother companion for comfort? Might be she is still depressed from weaning as well as her long trip

welcome to minis just to let you know, I have been using the forum name madmax for many years, this will be confusing.

I love it, and painted so sharply, you have many talents.

The hurricane thankfully passed us far enough to the east to just give us some high winds and rain that created light damage. This photo was taken the evening before our "hit" and there was a golden glow from this sky shining all around the property.

I see your four-o-clocks there, I have dozens and dozens of these plants a surrounding my yard that I have nurtured for more than 30 years, have not seen a lot of folks grow these anymore. They come back from the tubers every year plus all the ones that volunteer from seeds. The air is full of...

Here we go again with another hurricane churning up the east coast of Florida. I am in the area of Jacksonville further inland on the west side of the St. Johns river but bordered by a large creek and hoping and praying Dorian will stay on the projected track and not hit us directly. We were hit...

That reflection is awesome, unique, you always take such beautiful photos.

Congratulations!! How cute is that! Glad all is well!

I cannot guess, but it is lovely.. Sunset is a knockout and the reflection is wonderful!

Over 12 hours late reading this, but keep your foaling kit handy. Anything happening?

Hoping that your guys will end up living peacefully together! As an after note, mares usually do not use their teeth, mainly that kicking backwards to each other, and the males like to add their teeth when fighting - I am not happy with bite marks and the welts, so I know how you must feel...

Hi, welcome to the forum! What sexes are these horses? Is one a stallion? What could be going on is they are establishing anew who is top dog. The one following the original horse is possibly not loving the other one but showing domination. I have had my mare herd's dynamics change as time...

A few years ago I had 3 yr old pinto mare with large areas of white that stopped sweating. The vet told me to offer her a half tsp of salt and a half tsp of baking soda to an eight quart bucket of water daily as an electrolyte if I desired to. But his treatment was for me to hose her down and...

That is great what you have done with her! I bet she was exposed to a lot of "stuff" in her old life and she is glad she has you now. That trust is so important as I can see you know. I have never worked with an open bridle and am interested in how people like it compared to closed, I do not...

Open bridle sounds okay to me and it is working for you. However I see nothing wrong with giving her the experience of wearing only the closed bridle over her barn halter, for a few minutes every day while tied in your presence and see how she might adjust somewhat gradually. I would walk around...

There is always the possibility that the former owners have given you an incorrect breeding date. Sounds like she is making the usual preparations. Just keep her where she cannot stray too far and watch closely. Good luck!

They are so beautiful and let you get so close!

We had rain for so many weeks, then finally dry for the same, go figure with this climate change stuff. We pay a pretty price here for alfalfa since it is shipped in from afar. Same for timothy, we rely heavily on grass hay and farmers were finally able to cut and bale, it feels so good so see...

We are usually too wet but are now in an extremely dry period, grass is shriveling trees don't look so good, I have lost my orange tree. Temp was 99 degrees yesterday. Horses lazing a lot under the trees and drinking a lot of water, refilling tubs twice a day and I refreshed their salt. I do...

I love all those curious faces!!
