Here's my sooty girl clipped and unclipped. This is the first year since being a foal she got her golden color back. Oops, can't post.

Thank you Chanda, that will help me set up a new routine.

I have a 30 inch 2 year old I am fighting the weight battle with. How much would his ideal weight be in a guesstamit? He is walked with me as much as I can, dry lot but then he eats anything that doesn't move including manure thus a muzzle, grass hay in nets at 2% and Safechoice at .25 per...

Stunning both of them! His neck markings are beautiful!

Use all of the groundwork exercises CA teaches. She also can only bite you if you let her get in your space. Back her everywhere, which can be time consuming, but teach her to be more humble and very good exercise for her..

Chestnut/Sorrel or silver bay for both as well here. Hard to tell one or the other from the pictures. I guess "chocolate" is what some people use to describe a sooty or silver palomino, "Chocolate Palomino". Not an official color description tho. I hadn't heard silver chocolate either. My...

Thanks for the suggestions, It's too cold yet to wash, but I do use the Ethnic Olive Oil moisturizers. I will try the other products and hope to remember to take before and after pictures. I massaged Cowboy Magic conditioner in it once and I also ended up with a "big, frizzy, oily mess".

Andis AG, best clippers ever. And I just got all my blades sharpened and my clipper serviced by Northern Tails and they are absolutely the best people to send your clipping equip. to! He even included a DVD which I didn't watch for awhile, thought to myself that I had clipped for years. WELL...

It would be great if someone would post a video of giving their miniatures vaccinations! I have always used the neck region, or back of hip/haunch areas. Here is just one example of a veterinarian suggesting IM shots in the top of the croup...

As I stated, I have vaccinated my large horses all my life. I was surprised the vet used the location he did, as I had always been told that is not a good area due to the possibility of a bad reaction and that being a hard place to drain. Thank you, I thought to myself, those needles are way...

In relation to the other thread on shots, where and how do you all give your mini's shots? I have always vaccinated our large horses, but I don't know where to best give vaccines to the minis. A few years ago I had no problem giving in the neck wiht our larger gelding. But I have some small...

Leia, that is exactly the conclusion's I came to studying pictures. But since I haven't driven yet, I wasn't sure. Thank you very much for all the advice everyone!

I don't know if this topic has been asked before. I haven't yet learned to drive my mini's, but I have a lot of experience ground driving in the past. Anyway, someone recently told me not to ever get the curved shafts since the reins get caught on them all the time. Thinking on it, I wondered...

My concern was keeping the stallion in a 35 X 45 pen next to the mares field, if that would agitate to the point of pacing or getting hurt along the fence. But it looks like that is what many do without problems. And hopefully after springtime hand breeding I might be able to put the boys...

Lots of ideas and accommodations. Thanks a bunch everyone, I hope more people post what they do and how. I would never put a larger breed of horse with any of the minis. You gave me some ideas tho.

I was wondering if I could get ideas for how you are keeping your stallions. What I need to know is, are they kept in with another stallion, with the mares, a gelding? I might be purchasing a really nice stallion and I wouldn't want to keep him isolated. I have 4 mares 4 years and older, a...

That's priceless!

Working at vet clinics I too have seen many choke cases, always on dry cubes. But then, some horses will choke or get hurt no matter what. Personally we use pellets and sometimes mini cubes. I always mix a little water, and lately aloe juice from Wal Mart in them. Mainly to just moisten...

Does anyone know where I can find mobile equine dentists in the western states?

Yes the breeding report was done for this foal. Thankfully. I always do give everyone the benefit of a doubt, too much many times. Thank you for all the advice.
