I am looking for a good option for my minis to have free choice hay in Florida. Right now they have a pasture block of alfalfa but due to the high calcium and general laminitis risk, I want something safer. My pasture is essentially sugar sand so I'd like to make hay their main food source...

My aunt showed Wyatt for his first two shows (open, but mini attended). She is very green and not able to really get him to "show" but she did pretty good. Despite being of the stockier type he did really well, pulling 1st/9 in his first show and 2nd/5 in his second show in halter. He also won...

My aunt has taken special interest in showing our yearling miniature since she is no longer healthy enough to ride and show her mare. I told her to take him to a few open shows for the experience, but she is really begging to take him to the AMHA show in April. The show is over 2 hours away and...

Alright, we've been on the "new program" for a month. I think his belly does look a little better, but I had the benefit of help taking pictures this time, so I'm thinking it could be that he's stretched out at a slightly different angle and "longer looking". Before: Today: Swicthed to...

I did some feed changes in Jan. for my yearling mini. He went from a pad of alfalfa to free choice alfalfa (not much change really, he normally had some hay left all day) And January 13th I switched him from 12% to 16% Omelene 300. He also got power wormed with Safeguard on the January 15th...

I clipped my yearling, and now I'm wondering if I should have waited for a natural shed. It's been grossly hot and I knew he was suffering but I have a dilemma. I can't figure out what color he is and I would like to send in his papers soon. He has a lot of gray hairs in his coat, but is...

I've posted a few threads about my new guy and I clipped him up today. He's just about 9 months old. It's been 80-85 degrees and he's been miserable so I gave it my best shot. A few "highway marks" but not too bad. For his young age he was very well behaved, only get a little flustered with his...

Insomniac research drew me to a 3 part youtube video of the 2010 AMHA worlds. When handlers are setting up their horses and re setting them, it's pretty obvious that some techniques are pretty aggressive in body language and the horses are quite intimidated. Even when exhibitors come up to get...

Looking to get feedback on getting my 9 month old mini up to par. I've had him about two months and it's been a roller coaster getting him on a consistent program, due to moving barns etc. His current condition - some belly (not sure if it's worms or hay belly, or both), you can feel his...

From Me, Celine, and her new "reindeer"

A friend snapped a shot of my boy in the barn the other day and I didn't really know where to share it! I just love this little guy

Hello Mini world, I am re-introducing myself and my new mini to the forum. I am Tiffany and I live in sunny FL. I am a "big horse" lover and judge that has been captivated by mini's now not once, but twice! Funny story about how I went to a mini tack swap to help a friend lift heavy stuff and...

Hello all - I am new to the mini world and my first miniature is a bit of mystery conformation wise for me. I've had him about 3 weeks and he is an ultimate joy to own but he is underweight and wormy (maybe hay belly but I have $$$ on worms) To me, he seems to stand under himself when in...
