I'd like to get a daily wormer for my three boys. I need to know Brand? Link to purchase? Should I rotate? Can I put in their feed? How much? Any problems? Thanks, Robin

I don't think he is a miniature but he is small and SMART.

I wasn't able to log in for months (only lurk) so I'm playing catch up. Heres some of my babies: http://1178100224.slide.com/p/1/Miniature+Horses and a few in this one (tomato eating horses) http://1178100224.slide.com/p/1/How+to+Make+Salsa I love seeing all your photos. Robin

I love the Gypsy horses. I have minatures but I'm thinking of getting a Gypsy Cobb to ride. Anyone know of anyone trying to breed a miniature with a gypsy? Is this possible? moral? Forgive my ignorance. I know zilch about breeding. Don't jump on me if this is no ethical--I'm asking--what if a...

I have three stallions. Comanche and Toby are almost 3 and Bobbles is 5. Commanche is the alpha. I recently had surgery before I went into the hospital I moved their buckets from the barn to the fence so I could feed them without going in the paddock (until I recover). Every morning and...

I'm fairly newto caring for horses (6 months). It rained here for about a week solid. My paddock area was a big soup puddle. A few days after everything stunk. I assume it was the older straw that was buried under the mud and mixed with manure. I shoveled most of it up and spread new straw and...

I'm green and learning. I've read a lot of books about minis, grooming, training etc. but I neglected to learn about pasture management. For any other newbies out there: #1 thing I wish I would have known. I have 3 minis on one acre of pasture. I wish I would have known to divide the pasture...

I have really had it with this soup. I found this online. I'm ordering stone dust in the morning. >>>>>>>>>>> Re-Route Water. Divert rain and other run-off water away from areas that are prone to making mud. Install rain gutters or curtain drains on buildings, and install downspouts in...

Its been raining all week (Northern VA) and my paddock is like a mud slide. I've been slipping and sliding so I this morning I bought and put out several bales of straw. This straw is yellow and my three guys to town eating it--Completely ignoring the dry hay in the barn. Previously they...

Someone here asked for a critique and several people told them the horse needed more food obvious from the bloated stomach. I was really surprised. As a newbie I never realised a bloated tumy was a sign of being under fed. My guys all have a bit of a tummy. I assumed they were fat. I'll get...

I put my new Bubbles (4yo) with Comanche my 2 yr old alpha this morning. What a commotion. Biting, kicking, yelling until they were both worn out. About 2 hours after they calmed down I let Toby (2 yo) in the pasture with them. A little bit of kicking and neighing but only for a few minutes. All...

What color is Bubbles? 'cuse me for being green. I just got him this week. Hes gray pinto with a touch of brown but I ssume there is a horse name for this color. Thanks, Robin

Mr. Bubbles arrived today. He is a 4yr old stallion. Here are pics of him meeting my two 2 yr old stallions. What a hoot. Comanche and Toby went crazy. They were fighting over who was going to greet him through the fence. Kicking, bucking, and biting. You'd think he was a mare. Comanche is the...

I fell in love today with Mr. Bubbles. I told you all I was going to see him this morning . There were four of us and Mr. Bubbles came to me, loved on me, kissed me, and barley noticed anyone else. In 5 minutes I felt closer to him than I do to my own horses. We bonded big time. Wehn i got my...

Found this online and wondered what minis are considered. Though classified as cold-blooded, there is essentially no biological difference between a gypsy horse and its hot-blooded or warm-blooded relatives. The categories refer solely to the three basic horse personalities as detailed below...

I'm taking riding lessons nearby my home. My instructor told me about a beautiful mini for sale at a great price. The owner gave it to someone who never paid for it and brought it back starving. (don't you hate hearing stories like this). Anyway owner has been fattening him up and needs to find...

I read a lot about flies before spring because our barn is pretty close to our home and I HATE flies. I found fly predators as a natural prevention. Fly predators live their entire life on or near manure piles and eat fly pupa or larve. I'm reporting I 'm on my second month and it really...

I've ben trying to ask this question since for weeks but I can never logon (I followed all the cookie directions and tried Firefox and IE). Anyone else have trouble with this board? I've had my 2 little guys for 5 months. I have 1 acre pasture. They have eat the grass as sson as it comes up...

First I am THRILLED to be able to log in. Something (I think my firewall) wasn't letting me log in. I could browse but couldn't ask questions. I am still very green. I got my 2 minis in January. I felt so alone when I couldn't log in to ask questions. Comanche will be 2 in June. He has not...
