Hello, I have a small mini that I'm working on training to drive. I'm about to purchase a harness for him to work with, and I'm looking at Chimacum's "Mini Mini" harness (the one they make for under 30's with custom measurements). I've done some searching on the boards for what harnesses and...

Oh man, I just found this thread. I'm really excited to hear about this!! Back in 2008, I showed my mini one summer and having a draft horse background, dressed him up at one of the local shows in a typical "Belgian" style show harness (although no braiding). In fact, I ordered it from the links...

You could also remind her that the ancestor of the horse (big and small alike) was about the size of a miniature horse and lived in the wild way back when (with two and three toes!). So really, we've brought the horse back to its ancestor's size. Tell her to look that up.

I've talked with you on another forum (I have the same name on FHOTD). I was up with my horse on Saturday for the performance classes (what a loooooooong day) so I must have missed you by a day. I brought a friend with me to help and she is from the big horse world and had a great time. She...

Actually I've heard that some of the flea meds today get shipped from Austrailia. Who knows if they are still viable when they get here.

I've been through a lot of the popular flea products on the market. I first started with Revolution, which worked at the time, and don't remember why I first went off of it. Then I tried Advantix. UGH my dog would NOT stop itching. It made her skin pink and inflammed, and it only lasted two...

http://community.dog.com/forums/p/77994/607221.aspx#607221 I found this topic on another forum about it (read the whole thing). Some people describe having no ill affects and others are a little more skeptical.

I read the "best of" forum on this subject, but was looking for some more experiences with this. My horse is in the 27-28" range, and he has some MAJOR tooth bumps and seems to be having a hard time fitting all the new teeth in, in general. He is at the vet today getting x-rays because there is...

Hello, my name is Laurel, I usually come on here to look up useful info in the archives, but now I need some help as I am moving to New York (if this is in the wrong forum feel free to move it). I’ve recently been accepted to Columbia University for my masters, and so will be moving into the...

Yeah, I keep his blanket on him at night, only take it off if it's in the high 70's during the day and not too windy. And like I said, he does still have hair on his back, butt, and rear legs. I try to put my hand on his chest to see if he's cold, maybe that's not the right way to check. I...

I just bought a pair of Wahl Moser Arco clippers with the adjustable blade. Don't have the instructions handy, but I'm pretty sure they said not to use a coolant or lubricant or blade wash. It didn't say how often to oil though. They were pretty bleak instructions truthfully...

Thanks for your replies. I still consider myself to be a "green" owner, but I try to be vigilant about observing my horse so I know what his norm is. I have been stalling him at night, and I know that drives him a bit nuts because he's usually out 24/7. We had a tree fall on the property last...

Yeah, I don't think he's trying to be aggressive or mean. He does have dry skin, I've seen dandruff in his mane, so maybe it's dry from clipping. He eats Buckeye Grow n Win, does well with it, and coastal hay. I didn't think the clipper blades were hot enough to hurt him, but it was my first...

I just clipped my horse for the first time ever last weekend. He took to the clippers well, except for his legs and ears, but didn't freak out about the process. Now, several days later, he seems to have turned into quite a little beast. Running around crazy, rolling, rearing up, etc. He is...

I am soooo excited to come to this! It will be our first show....EVER. You all sound like you have a lot of fun so I look forward to meeting you. I have so much training to do!

I work in a lab, and we use 10% bleach solution to disinfect and clean things. So 1 fl oz combined with 9 fl oz of water would make a 10% solution for example (or 1 gal bleach combined with 9 gal water, change the numbers and units as needed).

I just wanted to add that I have a teeny that I will be training to ground drive as soon as I get some equipment altered to fit him, so I will be eagerly watching this thread. However, I wanted to say that I'm one of the few that like the draft horse style and in my search for show halters found...

Hello! I just wanted to say I know how you feel and what you are going through. My little man got sick with some kind of infection in December that started with ulcers. He stopped eating and was at the vet for 10 days before they let him go home! His temp would spike to 103.5 every morning...
