Vet has already vaccinated my mnis this year with Prestige V+ rabies so my horses are good. WAs wondering what others have to pay for their vaccinations? To vaccinate my four was $275. Was wondering how this price was compared to other parts of the U. S. And.... those of you who order online...

Just born late last night and quite the handsome little fella already! Very ornery and vocal. In fact, whinnied as he was being born like he was very impatient!

I have a graduation to go to this Saturday am (out of town). My mare is due to foal any day... thought perhaps last night but no go yet. She is an older mare that has foaled many times before, and as far as I know she has done ok. Two years ago when I first got her she was pregnant and the foal...

Wondering what I should do.... Our 1 1/2 year old colt has not dropped yet at all. Is this unusual and should I have him checked or have vet do ultra sound on him? I hear it is not only very expensive to have them surgically removed but also very hard on the colt. We have had him separated from...

JUst recently noticed that our weanling gelding has a lot of dandruff flakes on tail and in the mane. Looked at teh rest of the coat (long already) and it seems clear. He is rubbing a lot on the tail area. Have been told could be lice? If so, what do I use to treat it. Its getting cold here in...

We are leaving for vacation Saturday, Oct.6th for a week. Been feeding Purina Omalene 200 to my three mares and 4 month old colt. Bought new bag at Coop last night... moldy! AGain! Now have nothing to feed while I'm gone as they are sending all bags back and they are the only ones who sell it...

Finally, our little boy arrived Thursday at 1:30 am. Posting pics of him wiht mama. Also posting pics of Breeze, my show mini, Destiny..the new foals step sister, and my 16 hand paint... Our "horsey" family.

Hallelluah!!!!! We have a foal.... its a boy, so my nail test must have been from twirling the string, lol. Thank you all for replyiing to my banamine question.... she seemed to be very uncomfortable after having teh foal, and I was concerned about his being able to get something to eat...

Just bought some HTH pool strips to check my "overdue" mare wiht.... its shows 1000 hardness and 8.4 ph. Does this mean we have a long way to go? Help!!! I feel like I am butting my head against the wall.

Ok, hope someone here can help me as I've never used these before. I've used the Predict a Foal strips and they aren't predicting accurate. I have Walmart HTH pool strips. How do I test with them, and what numbers am I looking for to show when she's ready to foal???

For those of us who have to work, any suggestions on what to do with the mares that are due to foal right away? I've been up every night with mine, and am exhausted. Unfortunately I do still have to work part time, and so far have had a "babysitter" fill in for me, but not this week. I did hear...

Have a mare that is now on day 326. Been testing her with the Predict A Foal test strips for the last two weeks and since Saturday they show she should have delivered. She had a bag tight as a balloon, does some stomping and rolling, eats like a horse (pun), tail area is soft, milk is sticky...

I have a friend who has a Downs Syndrome child (16). He has expressed a lot of interest in my minis and was wondering what the rules are for a disable child showing in the mini shows? He would need a lot of help in the ring as he is probably on the lower side of Downs Syndroms average(?), but...

I am getting ready to start training with my two minis for halter, obstacle, etc. I am in the process of setting up obstacles in our arena, but cant find any information on how far apart to lay the posts they walk over, trot through, etc. and how far apart to put cones, buckets, etc. CAn...

Help! I have a nine month old filly who has had three mild cases of colic already! Never had to medicate her, just very mild cases.... some soft stools, sluggish, went completely off grain a couple of times, but would eat hay, etc. Never went down or rolled, just didn't eat right and could...

I have a very gentle, 23 year old gelding that acts like 90 now. Never has been agressive except when feeding time, then tends to make sure no one gets his food. He and the minis are all out on pasture, althouth separated. My question is: does anyone run big horses with their minis? And if so...

I have a 3 1/2 month old filly.... mom has been separated off and on for anywhere from 8 - 10 hours at a time because she is in heat and in with a stallion. I keep the foal separated so we don't have any problems. The foal (Destiny) 'hangs' with Aunt Breeze (my maiden mare) in the pasture and...

This is probably going to sound really stupid to most on here, but wondering when to start weaning my foal. She just turned three months old this weekend. Is out on pasture 7-8 hours a day, grain twice a day. Will mom wean her on her own?

Going to worm my two month old filly along with my other two mares today. Bought SafeGuard for the filly, does anyone know how much to give her? I don't know her weight, she's average. Don't want to give her too much. Another question: She is starting to eat grain from my hand, and wants to...
