With show season around the corner, I'd like to start conditioning my colt. He won't be 2 years old until August, and I was wondering if he's too young to start teaching him to lunge? If not, how often and for how long? If he is, what other types of exercise are safe for him? What about a...

Thanks to all who offered feeding advice to help me get my mares weight down! I think she is looking thinner now that I have put her on a diet, as everyone recommended LOL I thought she was a little heavy, but apparently she was obese. So what do you all think? Is she where she should be, still...

Here is Nick! We picked him up yesterday. He was my Chirstmas present to myself. SO I went with the name Nicholas... Kinda silly, I know lol His breeders were pretty young and I guess not too familiar with puppies travelling long distances, so they fed and watered him real well (like huge...

I'm not sure if I am putting this in the right section or not, but it's really been bothering me for the last 2 days... sigh... My husband and I were driving home and he had to pee really, really bad so we pulled off on to a dead end road with no houses around where we had seen a large ranch...

Hey all! I was wondering if this dewormer is safe for pregnant mares? It's praziquantel and ivermectin. I don't know for certain if my mare is in foal or not, I'm leaning toward she is not, but just in case, I don't want to dose her with it if it's not safe. Thanks in Advance!

This is totally embarrassing but I thought I'd share anyway! (If my jumbled story doesn't give you a headache first) I am new to minis and only owned one horse when I was in my late teens early twenties. I'm almost 40 now...So it's been a long time since I have even been around a horse! My old...

Hi All! I was just wondering what's a good amount of beet pulp to feed. My mare is 35" and a little bit overweight. My colt is a little over 34" and more refined. I have no idea what either weigh yet. They each get a one pound coffee container of pelleted grain morning and night and each get...

Hey all, My music library on iTunes is a complete and utter mess... I was considering trying this product but have seen mixed reviews for it. Have any of you used it? If so, I'd love to hear your opinions! Thanks

I have been looking for a long time for a male Saint Bernard pup, and I am pretty particular about what I'm looking for. I have been looking in classifieds around the internet, and found one that seemed promising so sent an email titled "Male Saint Bernard Pup" and asked if he was still...

Hi All! I am new to minis, and haven't been around horses in many, many years, so I'm having to re-learn a lot and I'm hoping to get some advice. I've learned an awful lot from this forum just by reading and have to say mini -folks are the BEST! So here's the situation... I purchased a colt...

The thread about the new Doberman puppy one of our members just got made me want to share Diva's story... I have had 3 in my lifetime, all females (Raja, Natasha and Diva- my rescue.) Someone on a non dog related message board told me they were feeding their neighbor's very sick, neglected and...

Hello, I am new here and getting my first mini this weekend. He is a yearling and has already started showing and has some points. I plan to continue showing him, so have a lot of questions :-) I should also note that I have never shown a horse either. The gentleman who sold him to me has...
