I'm bummed it is being cancelled. Too bad. Anyone else watch it?

It is very windy and cold here in Maine.

I bought one today. It is called Equine Choice by Blue Seal Feeds. My plan is to observe my little herd to see if they will gobble it down or treat it like the salt lick. Just wondering if anyone else uses such a source of a supplement. I stopped feeding grain this summer but wanted a way to get...

My husband has decided to stop wearing his wedding ring. I feel that he should wear it. Just telling him that is not enough. He wants to know the "real" reason. I told him that it is important to me. He claims that he almost slipped off the tractor because of it this summer and that he scratches...

Someone alerted me to this terrible website. I hope this idiot had permission to use the photos he/she used of the minis. I want to grab this idiot by his/her neck. What a jerk. My blood pressure just jumped. Go to and scroll down: http://fuglyhorseoftheday.blogspot.com/

I have two minis that are grullo/grulla a mare and gelding. I have thought that a male is referred to as grullo and a female grulla. Is this correct or does it matter? :

My in-laws are driving me completely crazy these days. During my daughter's first 5 months of life I chose to breastfeed her exclusively, she was fully weaned at 6 months old. My in-laws would not stand to be in the same room with us while I was feeding. I had to leave their house to go home to...

What is the typical minimum age of handlers of stallions in your area? I recently had a bad experience at a club show where the age minimum is 16 for showing stallions. Two young teens could not control a stallion and got nasty with people waiting patiently at the gate. A couple of other...

Would it be unrealistic to have a mini that has matured at 36" whose dam is 34"(grandsire 31.5 granddam 33.75) and sire 32.5" (grandsire 28 granddam 31)?

When is a colt sexually mature? I can feel my colt's testicles just under the skin, they are not decended yet. He is 6 months old. All my life I've had mares. Sorry if this is a repeated question I can't find a related thread at this time of night : . I plan to have him gelded ASAP.

Does anyone have experience with a mini having an upward fixation of the patella?

I know someone with a young daughter: about 10 years old. She has expressed interest in miniature horses. Her mother would like to obtain a miniature horse at a low price or to take in a mini that is in need of a home/ rescue. Our area is mini poor. It seems to be a seller market. This family...

Have any of you had a horse with tapeworms? Do they shed like they do in cats? can you see them in manure? I only rotate between Strongid and Invermectin at the moment.

Just something I thought of asking.

I have a mare that I am for sure I have held her papers in my hand about 7 years ago when I worked at a farm she was at. When the farm closed all the horses' papers were accidently thrown away. Now she's here and I have a colt out of her that I would like to register. I believe she is at least...

If I pay dues for AMHR now will that be applied for next year? I haven't paid dues since I registered one of my mares 6 yeasrs ago and I am interested in maintaining a membership with AMHR. Does anyone know of a deadline for 2007? Thanks!

I recently became a consultant for a multi-line business that shows products in a "party" type demo/then order our of a catalogue situation. The types of parties are new to my area. The same time I became a consultant an acquantice of mine did at the sametime. Our upline gave this woman $100 off...

Just a couple of questions. 1. Is it allowed to use black hoof polish on a mini with white legs and hooves? 2. Is it allowed to give a mini treats in the ring to stand for inspection? I have heard these things debated and saw someone do both at a show recently and just wondered what is the...

Does anyone here board minis? My husband and I are planning to begin a boarding facility in a year from now. I live in northern New England. We had thought about boarding riding horses. I've owned minis for 7 years now and have been riding horses for 17 years. I have the education and experience...
