Okay, when I first got my minis, I was always told "Don't feed them alfalfa! They can founder so easily!". I have always fed just grass hay or let them graze in my pasture. Now I am reading sooooo much on here that says to feed alfalfa. I was just wondering about that. How much? Do I mix it with...

So, as some of you may know, I am waiting for my maiden mare, Robin, to pop out a little bundle, lol. She is lacking in the udder department and while I know that all maidens are different, I wanted to see as many pics of maiden bags as possible Purely for comparison and possibilities ;)...

Well, Robin was supposedly "sterile" due to undersized ovaries, but it looks like they grew up, lol. While this pregnancy is unexpected, it is not surprising, nor is it unwanted. I just wanted to state that ;) We are willing to do everything necessary to make sure that mom and baby are both safe...

THIS WAS MY ORIGINAL POST ON ANOTHER FORUM...it gives the back story for this "rescue".   There was an ad for free ponies on Craigslist. He couldn't' afford hay anymore. We all know how "free" animals can end up. I talked to the guy. He had 11...I could just see someone getting all 11 and...

Hey guys...sorry I haven't been on in a while, it has just been pretty hectic around here. I ended up finding a new home for Batman. He was just too hard to keep fenced, and I felt terrible keeping him in a tiny corral all of the time. Anyway, he ended up going back to the people that had him...

Sorry I haven't updated in a while...it has been pretty hectic around here lately. Batman and Robin are in my backyard now, since the big guys are in the corral while the pasture grows in. They apparently LOVE the way my wooden fence tastes And TRUST ME...they are not eating it out of...

So, today, I decided that while my 1 year old was napping, I was going to go let the ponies out with the big guys for a little bit. I was right there with them and they have had 3 weeks to get used to each other through the fence. They did GREAT! They only one that got a little bucky was...

Okay, so some of you may know about my new miniature mare, Robin. I am questioning if she is pregnant. She has been with a now 2 year old stud cold for the past year. The vet is coming out soon, hopefully today, if the weather is good, but I just have a question about seeing foal movement. I...

Okay, so some of you may know that I just aquired my first two miniature horses. Batman is a 2 year old black and white tobiano soon-to-be gelding. Robin is a 5-6 year old sorrel and white mare. They have been together for the past year at least. I was told that he had not dropped and that is...

So, since my Valentine is across the globe I went out and hung out with my little guys for a bit. We had a nice gossip session while I braided their hair I love these little guys! Robin is finally starting to warm up to me, too! She follows me more than Batman now Anyway, onto the pics...

So, Betty and Batman have been playing through the fence since they got here. I decided to let Betty meet him in person (btw, she is great with the animals...she has NEVER chased any of my guys, even the goat when I had her). Talking through the gate. Awwww... So I let her into the...

I realize that these photos aren't ideal, but they are all I can get by myself How old do you think he is? They said 1.5-2 years old...but I figured I would check with you guys anyway.

So, I really was trying to avoid spending any money on a temp shelter. We will be building a larger, permanent one in the nearish future, but for now, I just made a small one that would keep the snow off of them and block the wind. I only had 3 sheets of plywood, so I will have to go buy one...

Well, my babies have finally arrived! I am so excited! They are just too sweet and cute More in next post

I am looking for something that could work for my 2 miniatures that are coming this weekend, as well as my 3 big guys that I already have (not at the same time, though). I found this ad on craigslist...does anyone have experience with these types of shelters?? :modedit: Please refer to Rules...

I have 16 acres of pasture and I will soon have 2 miniature horses to add to my 2 large horses and 1 donkey. These are my first miniatures and I am trying to plan things out for the spring.   I don't fully trust my outside fencing at this point because I don't know that the mini's wouldn't...

Hi everyone. My name is Katy and I am a critter-aholic. I have never been without an animal of some sort, lol. I already have 2 full sized horses and a donkey. I have never, however, had a miniature horse. I am in the process of getting a 1.5 - 2 year old colt, named Batman, and a 5-6 year...
