    Great new tool

    I got really tired of having difficulty picking up mini "muffins" in any semi grassy area - the manure fork kept getting hung up in grassy bits etc.... So I saw this industrial sized dog doodoo picker upper, one meant for kennel businesses. It has and 11x9x3 tray on a long handle and a small...

    How do you harness a miniature horse?

    It really helps to find someone who can show you where everythings goes, but if that is not possible there is a great dvd put out by smoke in motion - called Harness Up - shows what every piece is for and where it goes AND how it should fit properly. If you can get a few lessons under your belt...

    you thoughts please

    OK yah - that should have been my first thought - to contact the vet who did the first Xrays! I guess I just get so used to doing things myself out here. I'll let you know what he says.

    never seen this before!

    The deer here go into the horses field regularly and usually the boys just ignore them. Yesterday Pistol must have decided he didn't want them in "his" field. I watch him standing on alert watching the deer and then he stomped up and chased them out! Those deer were so surprised!LOL!

    Anderson or Parelli

    Interesting topic - I have had the Parelli CDs and switched to Anderson. They both had good points and information. I also found a fellow here in BC - Jonathan Fields and really like his approach, I learned something from all of them but the best thing I ever did was to go to a Natural...

    How Bo is doing

    Just thought I would post how my gelding Bo with the dislocated hip is progressing. He has found his balance, so to speak, walks using the dislocated leg even though he does not put too much wieght on it. I have noticed he puts a litlle more on it every week. Yesterday I was cleaning his...

    Does wormer stay usable after first dose?

    Since the dosage for minis does not use up the whole tube of wormer my question is --- can you use the rest of it on the next dose, say three month after first use? Or does it go off once it has been opened?

    training to lie down

    Thanks - would it be a good idea to watch which leg he naturally kneels down on first when he does lay down, and start with that leg?

    training to lie down

    I saw mention of getting a mini to lie down for doing thier feet on the thread about hip dislocation - sounds like a good idea but I haven't a clue about how to go about it. Sure would appreciate instructions from those who have done it. Thanks

    Thankyou Lil Begginnings

    Way back in the begginning of Bo's troubles someone said dislocated hip --- they were right. Took Bo in to the new vet and he did not even have to touch Bo before saying that was it (he did examine him though) then we went on a two hr drive through a snow squall to get to the only place around...

    Why Minis?

    Feel like I'm preaching to the choir! Our stories are so similar - I got back into horses in my forties and had good and bad experienses. My last horse I loved so much but he kept hurting himself - got worse every year. Finally I found him a safer home I was so sad for months and then my two...
