Hello, I have read several things on this subject and was just wondering what you guys do. I have a 11 year old gelding and a 3 year old mare that run together. I have had the mare about 6 months. I saw a stallion that I really liked thats being sold. I thought maybe the mare could breed...

I have been feeding purina for about 6 months to our gelding with good results. We just got a mare that I changed to purina, now the mares poop is dark too along with are gelding. The mares mane is really growing now. I am happy with results and feed.

Thank you sooo much for all your advise. You are right. I just need to be patient and enjoy them and learn all I can about them before I get a foal. The picture of your minis Vickie is really, really cute!!! I will watch for winks and pee. Also, I will call the lady I bought her from and...

Yeah, I keep looking under her tail for that wink.... Well, that's gonna make it hard to tell when to drive her over to get bred.... hmmm I had a thought, maybe I should get a stallion myself.....but, I read I can't let them run together all the time in a herd (gelding, mare and stallion)...

We bought a mare that was suppose to be in foal. We have had her not quite 1 month. The 25th of this month will be one month. We took her to a vet nearby and they did an ultra sound on her. I noticed the other post on ultra sounds after the fact, I never new of problems associated with it...

Good Morning, First I would like to give a big THANKYOU to everyone that shares and helps on this site! YOU ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! My first mini, Lucky, I purchased in September at an auction. That morning I had no idea I would be getting a mini horse. I have absolutely no horse...

Thank you soo much for all your help. That was a really good video. I'm gonna try to be ready. I think I will be a nervous wreck to tell you the truth! Sandy, I saw a post yesterday that you have a couple in foal and are waiting anxiously. Good Luck and I look forward to seeing your...

Hello, I am fairly new....I havent had the mini a year yet. So it hasn't been spring for me. I hear people saying things about spring grass and you can't let them it on it. Maybe I'm doing the wrong thing right now, I don't know. I live in a 5 acre to 10 acre addition. We have 5 acres...

OH MY, Now I am really nervous! I'm not a breeder. I'm fairly new to minis. I purchased a gelding in September of 2011. Now I have purchased a 3 year old Maiden Mare, as I have learned from reading posts. I am trying to learn what I need to do to be ready for this experience and to make it...

Thank you very much for all your help. She seems to be doing fine, except for that soft poop this morning. I think I will just give her 1/4c of the purina for a few days in morning and night. She is probably eating different grass on our 5 acres than she was on 20 acre pasture too. Thank you...

Saturday I brought home a new 3 year old mare who is maybe pregnant. I didn't have the food that she had been eating. The woman was feeding her A&M 14% protein creeper pellets. 1/2c in morning and night and pasture and hay. My other mini is on Purina Mini Food and I have some burmuda hay in...

Thank You! Thank You! Sooo much good info. What size easy feeder do you have. The regular feeder, or slow feeder? Do you hang them about two foot off ground? Need to try one. Thank you for the link on purina too. I really appreciate it!!! Oh, by the way what is a easy keeper, hard keeper.....

The pictures were taken around 9/30/11. I can't feel his ribs and he has alot of padding on his butt. He is loosing alittle of the back fat shown in the second pic. So that's good. I think prob from what I have read. Do 1 flake in morning and 1 and night and keep feeding him what he is...

Thank you soo much for all your help. I did use the chart that is on this site for the weight originally. My husband measured his girth and said it was 53". That was about 3 weeks ago. I said what are you sure!! I didn't do the other calulation yet. So this weekend we will measure again...

Thank you very much for all your comments. He is a 10 year old gelding. When we first got him which was about 3 weeks ago he looked soooo fat he could pop! He was feed a coffee can of sweat feed twice a day and grazed all day long. We measure his girth and he came in at 372 pounds. So I...

Here are some more stupid questions... I live in Oklahoma. Right now my mini is feed Purina Mini Food. I have a pen that he stays in at night that prob has 1/4 acre of grass. We built a run-in for him which is 8x8x8 which is in the pen. In the morning I feed him 1/2 cup of purina and then...
