I've worked with many pairs and teams, We were always able to convert those harnesses to single when we needed to school one horse. Add shaft loops and hold backs, take away the strap from collar to breetching. Is there something I'm really missing? I've done this with drafts and ponies...

I'm fairly new to minis and my guys are chubby, I would like them to be fitter and shed a few pounds. Did you have to use neck sweats to get those results with his neck and throat latch? Was it mostly just lunging for exercise? How long? How often! Thanks! What incredible results!

I'll take whatever advise or thoughts anyone has. I'm trying to collect the appropriate equipment and get them working well on the ground before I find a trainer to give me some tandem lessons and help hook them the first time!

I am in CT. I plan to spend many hours ground driving them together in many settings so they gain some confidence together and learn their jobs before I think about hooking them. They are both enjoying it and act like they have been doing it forever. I chose the pair harness so I can use them...

Thanks, I have searched and read most of the old tandem topics, But I really need some help with the specifics on equipment. I want to invest in the right stuff and be SAFE! It really worries me seeing people driving tandems with harness held together by baling twine.

Hey There, I haven't been on here in quite a while, (I've been driving BIG horses). But I've started working my minis again and I have this crazy passion about driving them tandem "some day". Well recent surcumstances have required me to work them more often(and get more exercise myself!)...

Hello, One of my little guys came down with a fever of 103.8 last night. Stiff sore and uncomfortable. I immidiately called the vet and was instructed to give him a 1/2 tablet of bute and to cold hose his legs/hooves. Within an hour his temp was comming down but he broke out in a sweat. (He...

I recently adopted a mini gelding who has a fallen crest. I started braiding his mane to the other side....using the weight as an advantage...It worked suprisingly well. I left him braided for a week. then brushed his mane out. It stayed on that side for a few days and his neck looked much...

He is 32''-33" I havent measured him, but he's just about the same size as my 32" mare. He was such a find. I love him to peices.

Hello, I recently bought this mini gelding. The previous owners had no registration papers on him. He is a gelding. 32-33''. About 8-10yrs old. Two blue eyes. Grulla and white paint with a dorsal stripe. If anyone happens to recognize him I would love more information about his past. He...

Thanks for your help. Its a long shot but ill post a picture and see if anyone recognizes him.

Hello, Im fairly new to the mini world and recently aquired a mini from "non-mini" people. They didn't know alot about him and dont have papers on him. I have since had him vet checked and we belive he is 8-10yrs. Is there any way to search and see if he is registered. He has unique...

I wasn't brave enough to do her face, but I don't plan on showing her anyway. She will be in re-fresher training to drive this month. I am very excited to get her driving!!

So I finnally decided to give Stella her summer hair cut, She just wasn't shedding out very well. I have only owned her for 8 months and never clipped her..... As it turns out she LOVED it. Clearly someone had spent time clipping her in the past. The bad news is I only got one side done...

Where can you buy a grazing muzzle in mini size, I think I am going to resort to using one on my mare this year.

Well I have a mini who will be 16 this year. I have only owned her for 6 months and was told she was trained to drive and shown in hand in her "younger years". I plan to hit the ground running this spring, slowly getting her(and I) in shape by ground driving her around our local nature park...

There was a post today about "Ridgehavens White Cloud" if I am correct. It is titled "What good food and love can do" or something similar. I assume it was posted by his owner with pictures.

Hello, I am fairly new to the mini world. I bought a mare last fall and I know she clips well..... but I have noticed that most ppl completely clip their head/face. HOW do you go about doing this??!! I would like to do a nice spring clip on her and get some nice pics of her cleaned up like a...

I have had Reglan IV in the ER. They use it frequently to treat nausea. I never had a problem with it but I probably only had a few doses over the years. Seems like almost any med on the market today has horrible side effects. Really makes you think about what we are putting into our bodies....
