Tuesday October 28th, 2014 at 8 p.m. EST Chances Mini Horse Rescue held their final meeting. CMHR is now closed. CMHR was born all because a little horse by the name of Chance was found in a horrible situation. This wonderful organization ran for many years and did much good for countless...

It has been long enough now since the death of my very old pony Tiffany, that I feel I can talk about this. I want to share with those interested my experience with Tiffany's death and our options after we decided to end her suffering. I had this mare in my life for all of her 30 plus years. I...

Thank you everyone. The cremation service will be here to pick her up within the next hour. She will be back with me on Friday. I don't think that I can watch them take her.

I don't post here often but I knew this would be the place where people would understand how I feel right now. My 36 year old pony that has been with me since she was a weanling, coliced this afternoon. The vet was here right away and we treated her for many hours. There was no relief for...

We went for Sunday only. We had planned on being there for all 3 shows however; one of our children suffered a serious accident earlier in the week. I just can't say enough good things about Lennie! He was very understanding and helpful, offered prayers for our son, greeted us as we rolled in...

WE ARE FINALLY IN WISCONSIN! We have actually been here for a month as of today. The move went as well as could be expected. We bought an up and down duplex and had to live in the upstairs only until our tenants vacated the downstairs. That was exciting with all of the kids and the dogs, not...

Oh, THANK YOU! I am trying to get a vet lined up before we move. Now if I can just find someone in the area to shoe my modern ponies!? I probably will travel North some as my Mother lives in Crystal Falls, MI.

Well......it finally looks as if we will be moving soon. The first house we made an offer on did not work out. We now have another house with an accepted offer and hope to close by the middle of March. I am working with my vet here to get everything in order for the move. I am looking for a...

THANK YOU everyone who has replied! I can't wait to meet all of you, and yes I would love to join a new club! Is there a specific area 4 club as well? Things are not moving as quickly as originally planned (do they ever) We had an inspection on the house we put an offer on and uncovered some...

MiniHoofBeats, we too have had a taste of COLD the last few days! I certainly will look you up when we get settled! I took a look at your web site. We also LOVE blue eyes, and we also have a tiny cremello (blue eyed)! Can't wait to meet you!

Yes, I think that Brookfield is an hour North of Milwaukee. I'm glad to hear there are mini people around!. Any shetland people? I hope that we do meet some new friends! Thanks

My husband just took a job in Brookfield, WI. It looks as if we will be moving very soon. We have put in an offer on a home in the town of Holland and (cross your fingers) we hope to close in the beginning of December. Also the relo company is trying to get us moved before Christmas! I am...

I know The Hawes family, If you would like to PM me, I can pass on a message to them.

I will contact Progressive again. Thank you for your help!

It is one of the young horses and several of the older horses that have the bellies. I have estimated the weights several different ways, and I have brought one in to the vet to be weighed a few times. My calculations have been accurate (very close). Would you mind sharing with me the amounts...

Thank you for the offer! I do have the chart. I also keep a PN growth chart up to date on all my babies.

What kind of hay are you feeding? With the alfalfa balancer, I'm assuming alfalfa, but we all know what happens when we assume. Yes, we are feeding alfalfa. I had the PN guy out to look at and recommend axactly the right product and amounts for all the minis and ponies. I have followed his...

UGHH! I must be doing something wrong here! Maybe I will have another hay analysis done.

How much do your horses weigh and how much (weight wise) alfalfa are you feeding them? I feed everyone 2 percent of body weight in hay daily, in many feedings. I weight all hay and feed They have access to free choice salt and minerals, and fresh water (now in heated buckets) always. Only my...

I switched all of my minis and ponies to progressive alfalfa diet balancer several months ago. We have very good hay, they are dewormed monthly, up to date on everything else and otherwise very healthy. After about a month I began to notice some of them going down in weight. I added...
