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?

We just went to worm our mini's with Equimax for the 1st time since we've had them. My husband set the weight on the dial of the mare (230 lbs)and gave it to her. When he pulled it out we realized that the dial did not hold and he gave her the whole tube of that of a 1300 horse!!! I'm so scared...

Hello, I'm new two mini's but have had horses in the past, but not for 10 years. My new mini's arrived a week and a half ago and and have been settleing in nicely for the most part. The vet thinks they are both around 4 years old. The gelding is a HUGE love and doesn't mind being brushed for...

We just adopted two sweet mini's which are coming Wednesday! They were very malnorished and have not had grass in a VERY long time if ever even. Poor things have been in a 12x12 box stall together for a few weeks with no turn out eating only hay and alfalpha cubes as they were on a strict...

Does anyone know where to find small barns to purchase for 2 mini's or small barn plans? I was thinking of building a 2 stall barn. Each of the stalls 8'x10' with dutch doors in stalls leading to the outside. Also a 4' wide hallway for some storage. Horses wouldn't be in the 4' hallway area...
