    General Update

    So much has happened lately! I'm going back to school full time for vet tech, hoping to be able to take my licensing exam in 3 years tops. Still looking for a job until then, but I know that one will come along soon enough I sadly had to sell Spanky. The only boarding place I could find for...

    Putting an EE cart together

    Is ridiculously difficult. The barn owner and I spent two hours working on it and it still doesn't have the seat or the singletree attached. Most of the time was spent peeling that rubbery coating out of the inside of the holes as the bolts wouldn't fit in them (some of them I couldn't even see...

    New harness. How is the fit?

    Ok, so this was a little more awkward than I had expected lol. I ordered a stock harness, because I couldn't for the LIFE of me find a tape measure. I've also never measured his height... oops :P I did pretty good at guessing apparently, because it's not too bad (at least, I don't THINK its that...

    Kicking Strap?

    I ordered one, just to be on the safe side. One question. How the heck do you attach it? Lol I have an Ozark Pleasure harness if that makes any difference.

    Poor Spanky

    Got my order from Ozark today. I had ordered a random sleezy because they were cheaper to order that way, plus there was only one really super girly print, the others were manly (like flames or camo) or could work for either sex (like a tie died one) Guess which one we got? Yup. That's...

    Hauling with small trucks

    Could a small truck (like a Ranger, Toyota or Nissan) haul a two horse with two minis in it safely?

    Sound to drive?

    My new guy has a bit of a wonky front leg. Do you think it will cause any issues being sound to drive? Pictures can be seen here (its the right front leg) http://www.miniaturehorsetalk.com/index.php?showtopic=130786&pid=1503344&st=0entry1503344

    Introducing horses

    So I just bought a gelding He will be delivered the same day that I'm moving Spanky to a new facility, so it will be new to both of them. I have no clue how to being to introduce them. I'm honestly not worried about Spanky at all, as he has always got along with whoever we put him with but I'm...

    Foaling and young/maiden mares

    So I am possibly getting a very young mini mare who has been in with a herd most of her life (read: just barely halter broke) That herd also includes an unrelated stallion, so she may or may not be pregnant. (If you want more details I'd be happy to give them, just PM me) So, what risks am I...

    Growing a mane out

    If I were to roach a mane, how long (typically) would it take to grow it back out? Spanky looks like he got run over with a lawnmower and I am seriously considering just cutting it all off and letting it grow back in correctly

    Do his hooves look ok?

    Left front: Left hind: The frog on his left hind looks wonky to me, I don't know if its just not shed yet, or what. His feet were pretty much untouched for quite a while when I got him, they were trimmed last week. His frogs has all but disappeared (compared to what they used to be)...

    Piano Pieces/Classical Music

    Does anyone else here listen to classical music? What are some of your favorite pieces? I'm really into Satie right now, and just bought sheet music for both the Trois Gymnopedies and Trois Gnossiennes. Another favorite is Peace Piece by Bill Evans. So, what are your favorites?

    Hyperbike Question

    I really want a hyperbike for Spanky, but since he is so green is it a good idea to start him out with one (as opposed to an EE cart)? Honestly I don't think it would phase him, nothing has so far, but I just want to be sure

    Mini Hooves

    I've always heard that mini hooves are so different from big horse hooves. How? Can you post pictures of healthy mini hooves? From a big horse standpoint, there are some issues I see with Spankys hooves (especially with the minimal if any hoof care he's had the past year) but I'm not sure if...
