They are all adorable!

If only I had a larger barn and more land.... I see how addicting these little guys are!!!

He's looking great! I have a 4 year old gelding named Duke too!

If it were me, I would just get a new ferrier. You get what you pay for and her hooves really need someone who knows what they are doing.

Thaks everyone for your input!

It's been 5 months since I adopted my 2 rescue mini's and I just wanted to share some before and after pictures. The before pictures were taken the first day I went down to the rescue to meet them and the after pictures were taken in the past couple of days. It's hard to tell they were very...

Is there any way to tell what type of hay I have? I guess I should ask the guy who I bought it from, but he's very hard to get in touch with! I think next year I'll go with 2nd cut. Some of the bales I have are like straw. Maybe I'll just use them on my strawberry plants.

We just bought our hay for the winter and was told it was 1st cut. We bought it for $4 a bail and he sells 2nd cut for $5 a bail which was sold out. Is 2nd cut finer? Some of the hay we got was very coarse and I worry if the mini's will be okay eating it. What cut do you buy?

Thanks guys! I ended up ordering one of those fleece lined ones only because I couldn't find any other english ones. I'm on the search for a leather one though. I figured I'd just use the nylon/fleece until I can find something different to replace it with.

Als0, we built a 30' x 40' fenced area off there stalls so they can come out and in as they please. You can see it in my picture. We just finished another fenced area that is 90' x 90' so they can run around and have some grass. They ate the grass in the small area next to the barn in 2 days! LOL

I wouldn't leave much room at all between or under the wall boards, but I would keep the walls and/or door at 36" so he can see out. The more places he can see out the better! We just finished our 2 stall barn and they love being able to see out! : )

I'm searching for a good girth for my 38" and 40" mini's. I'm having a hard time finding any leather ones. Would love your thoughts! What's a good size? I've never used nylon before...

Your new guy looks very sweet! We just got our first 2 mini's this spring and this forum has been a wealth of information! I've had large horses most of my life, but don't think I will ever go back! One thing that you will hear often is that horses (large or small) are herd animals and are much...

Thank you guys for your help! I think I'll get the pleasure harness to start and also the Easy entry with the 54" shafts! Thanks again! I'm very excited!!

Well, basically, I don't plan on doing any showing for a while if ever. But I still want a good quality cart that maybe sits 2 people. We have a long dirt driveway and would want it to also ride nicely on grass. It's just something I want to get into for fun with my kids and family for now, and...

Hello! I am new to driving and have 2 minis, 38-40". They are both 4 years old and just started training this spring after I adopted them. I have a trainer helping me but she trains driving to large horses usually. My questions are 1) where is the best place to buy mini driving equipment? 2)...

Here is a great therapy horse website: www.Horse-Therapy.org I don't know a ton about therapy horses, but recently called these people to ask advice on how to get started. That is possibly my 3 year plan, as soon as my youngest child starts school in a couple of years. But I'm not sure I have a...

Where in VT are you? I live in Dorset and don't know anyone else who has mini's! Would love to chat with you!

Many of you seem to use lead ropes...I've seen the twine method before and think that's a smart idea. Especially since my 2 are young rescue horses and have never been tied before, only in the trailer a couple of times The only problem is that since my isle is only 5 feet wide, I was going to...

Sooooooo cute!!!
