Vet says he thinks he's toooooo fat. He's on a dry lot with 2 cups Nutrena special care, 2 cups grass pellet and 2 flakes of hay a day. 1 hour turnout every other day, electrolytes, prefounder vitamin in case, hydrocodone for allergies and elevate brand vitamin E....help!

I need some help here. We've been struggling with skin allergies for about 5 years but they are not getting better. I took him to the University of Tennessee for skin allergies testing. After 65 test spots only 2 came back - lanolin and gnats. I avoid any sprays and have added a fan to his room...

We rarely get much snow in Tennessee where we live so when we do my little stallion goes NUTS in it. He is the only snow plowing horse I know! He is so much fun and just LOVES life. Mini horses are the BEST. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVEGtf_e6M4

I am about to take my stallion to the University of Georgia to be collected and tested for fertility. How then would I test for color carrier genetics? I already have his full pedigree with all the characteristics and heights of his ancestors, but would love to know if he carries the cream gene...

I am really having some trouble finding a good video of how to harness a mini. Also, how to hook the durn thing to the cart. I have looked on here and on youtube with no luck. I figured out most of it and then just one little movement and the harness I had broke! It was the cheapo indian leather...

Looking at the photos below of my little stallion at 1 and 2 years old, what classes do you think he is best suited for in an AMHR setting (By his color, conformation, etc)? I need to get a good one of him squared up for you. He's all fuzzy right now though. I don't have any three year old...

Who all is attending this year's Tennessee Miniature Horse Celebration?? I AM! I am so excited! Has anyone on here shown before at this show? What was your experience? I Have only watched in the past. Here's the information with premiums http://tmhv.net/events.html

My little mini stud is 2 1/2 years old. He started losing his front teeth about 3 months ago and lost three very quickly. The top top and a bottom one, all on the front. Now, when I give him his daily grain, he grabs a bite and immediately opens his mouth really wide and lets it fall out. He...

There was a thread on here about clipping before and after with nothing but pictures and I can't find it. I wanted to show a coworker. Where did it go??

For those of you that have breeding stallions, how old were they when you let them breed for the first time? I already have people asking to breed to my stallion and he just turned 2 in June. I don't feel comfortable yet with his level of maturity. Also, they are asking if I will breed him to a...

Has anyone ever seen one like this? Has anyone ever overhauled a cart from this condition to like new again? This one is still VERY structurally sound and strong. It has surface rust, but it should sand blast right off. It is a bit long for my little man, but we can cut it to fit if needed. He...

I just wanted to share this. I feel like saying FINALLY I found one!!! We have been searching high and low for a SAFE pasture spray. We are eaten up with the yellow flowers that come from their sweet feed and hay. Those things take over fast. My husband used to spray with harmful chemicals that...

I was planning to show in the Shelbyville show, but wanted to be sure we can qualify with height and I am not sure I am measuring correctly. Does anyone know an AMHR official that can do a measurement for me this week if possible?? I am in SE TN but can travel a little to do the measurement. I...

I was just sitting on the ground while Timber ate some nice new grass and thought I would snap some shots to try to make him look like a full size horse. I think somehow he looks even smaller and they are some of the best pics! I took them with my iPhone.

Okay so I went to this show last year for a couple of hours to get a feel for my competition. I intend on participating this year, but need some MAJOR help! Where can I find good, easy to understand decriptions of these classes? I don't know the difference in modern stallion, modern pleasure...

So, I sat down with a cup of coffee and the AMHR official rule book this morning and began to read. I read every word from beginning to end and it is very detailed and informative. I "get it" for the most part, but would really like to see it in video form if it is out there. I have googled...

We decided to put Mr. Timber into a Christmas parade this year and the downtown Chattanooga parade seemed to be fitting! I made a costume for him at the last minute and we hung glitter bags on his back to hold books to hand out to the children at the parade. He has never been in a city or around...

Okay, I know this is soo gross , but I have to ask for my sanity. Is this unusual to see in a pasture??? Those are horse manure balls covered in a whitish furry looking fungus of some sort. Even weirder is the fact that it is only on like 4 out of 50 piles of poo in the pasture...not in the...

PLEASE read this if you own at round pen at all. It may save your horse's life. We got lucky and were able to catch it quick enough. We have had our little stallion at home for more than a year now. Since he is our only mini, he lives alone with over-the-fence access to the big horses. Every...
