    rain rot and full winter coat

    While the barn does have hot water, the barn itself is not heated so not sure I will bath him. I agree I think for what ever reason his immune system is compromised yet I don't know why. He is on a good quality grass mix hay, and gets Purina Enrich 32 as a supplement. He's a little piggy right...

    rain rot and full winter coat

    So I've been treating and retreating my mini for rain rot, problem is it will clear up and then come back. We live in Minnesota so he has a full winter coat I'm talking fluffy is not the word for it. I'm guessing this is why his rain rot keeps coming back. It's also been warm here 40's and 50's...

    Clipping for shows

    Ok, my friend starting showing last year, I've always shown larger horses just open shows. Anyways, I asked her this question this past week, why do you clip and why use a 30 blade? She said that is what every clips with around here(MN) to show their mini's and that is what a trainer(mini...

    Which horse would you enter in halter??

    Now, I'm new to mini's and showing them. But have been listening and watching my friend over the last 2yrs and I would have to say the second one would do better in halter. He has more presense(sp?) and he looks more alive, alert, gives his ears. He just has this "look at me" attitude!!! So I...

    Where to buy pony show tack????

    I have a non registered 38" mini/shetland. He actually came from a mini breeder but with no papers. Anyways, because he is larger in size I'm having a hard time finding a show halter to fit him. I measured him the other day and he's about 28 or 29" from check bone to check bone, most mini...

    Which do you prefer for big horses?

    I've owned stock trailers, straight load(very first ever 30 odd years ago), and now own a slant. Growing up I remember we owned a very old at that time straight load trailer-my mom hated it, then purchased a stock and have always owned even in my adult years a stock trailer. Recently though...

    Upsetting situation......horse that I sold

    I have to disagree with this, I don't know the laws in your area, but here, you have to provide food, water, shelter, palatable water, and appropriate exercise at liberty. There have been numerous cases here in MN where horses are "stored" in sheds, barns where ever and never see the light of...

    Lice on horses

    When I bought my TB gelding he came with lice from the chickens they had. I had to treat him 3 times to get rid of it, I used the powder and I used a pour on that is for cattle and horses, and I also used ivermectin paste wormer. He was so enfested with them I ended up trimming his mane down...

    I'm worried

    Maybe it's more the grain, maybe the bottom of the bag got a little wet or just from sitting so long it got old and they got upset tummy's from it. I'm grasping at straws here but feeding only a lb or two a day that 50lb bag could get a little old or damp and then could cause some issues. I...

    I'm worried

    To be honost with you from everything you have said from start to finish, I don't know that it's colic. Sounds like there may be an issue with the hay, and on top of that you may be feeding to much grain. If your horse is flipping up his lip when he sniffs at the hay you put in that is a clear...

    I'm so happy with both of them so far, they have great temperments. We brought them home saturday and the girls spent about 2 hours brushing them and hugging them and having pictures taken. Miss Ellie loved to be brushed, everytime my niece would stop brushing and walk away, Miss Ellie would...

    Nutrena Safe Choice feeds

    I feed all my horses safe choice have been using it now for about 2 yrs or so. I found out about it when I was talking to the Nutrena Rep about my TB that was a hard keeper and we were literally maxing him out on other grains just to keep his weight. Tried it and he actually gained to much...

    Acquiring 2 new mini's.

    Ok, tomorrow I'm picking up two mini's that someone is giving me. They have been at a stables for a petting zoo type thing for a few years. No one has really done anything with them. In fact 1 is a mini mule and she is somewhat wild now, so I know no one has done much with them. My question...
