Ok, remembering that I'm not a show person, (not sure if they're required or not) just a pleasure driver, I generally don't use them at all. So tell me if they would be useful with a pony trying to grab grass (to the point of becoming annoying) or would it have to be so tight that it would be...

I'm looking into building a small shelter like a loafing shed in my backyard for my two minis (so I can have them closer vs being on the family farm which is only a short drive but I'd still like them in my backyard :P ) How small can I go? I know what minimum size I'd need for a big horse but...

Any one ever try it? I'm thinking of bringing my dad's Labby to a local competition and possibly even my Aussie. He seems to enjoy it just as much (at times, he is not the retriever that the lab is by any means, but he's not supposed to be either, lol) Well, was trying to post video, it...

Ok so the two boys came with hay bellies and I took the advice provided here and upped the protein in their diet. The one boy is looking alot better, he still has a tiny bit of belly but it's been shrinking and I can live with what he has. The other still has a good bit of a belly and really...

My new little girl is a bit of a firecracker! I have a dry lot pen, not very big, maybe the size of a 60ft round pen that's been 'squared' that is between my barn yard and my horse's pasture. It's sorta the holding pen, the intro pen, the feed the weaker horse in winter pen. A catch all that...

does anyone use them? which kind do you like best? box, bag or net? and what size should the openings be? I'd like to use one for my new little mare (who I've decided to name Daisy, because she's bright and shiny and happy looking like daisies are with her 'white trim' and golden color in the...

My dad and I took our two minis for their first spin around the pasture today. Can only do so much in the pen! It was such fun! This is the first time we get to drive together with them. Til now we've been taking turns in the pen. We drove over ditches and through gates, over logs, around...

When ya'll said you can't have just one. I wasn't even seriously looking but I always browse when I saw a local ad for a free mini to a good home, she's a sorrel with flaxen mane and tail just like the old mare I just lost this week. I felt Nug was telling me something so I clicked on the ad...

I know I'm new here but it's too fresh to post this at my regular haunts with the people who have known her, but I need to say it before I try to rest, I doubt I will sleep. I also can't speak about it aloud without a fresh round of tears crippling me. They're crippling me even now. My family...

...doesn't mean that you should saddle them incorrectly! This morning there is a local craig's list ad (yes we all know that craig's list is full of these kinds of things, I dunno why I still look when I know it will usually be bad) that has a mini that is saddled (and looks to small to ride...

do any of you body clip your donkeys? I have a very small standard jenny (she might be mini height, she looks shorter than my neighbor's B mini to me but her parents were standard donkeys) who we just got this past fall. She looks ratty (despite brushing) and is shedding even less than the...

I never understood (and/or was never given a valid reason) this about Arabian halter and I see it in alot of photographs of mini's as well. Why are they set up with their hind feet camped out? Is there a purpose? With stock horses we like them nice and square and standing under themselves. I...

ok, I dunno much above a few basics about appy color patterns or genes etc. I do know sometimes they can be born solid and get spots later on but other than that it's very limited. I've had solid QH's all my life, lol. Not much paints or appys in the mix so color combos were pretty straight...

Mosely and Cowboy got their first trim this morning! Last night was the first time I picked up feet and felt they were ready to stand for a trimming so Dad was ready this morning before the heat gets too bad :D What a hoot! lol! My poor dad! He might have been better off on his knees! This is...

ok, so I have the signed registration application in hand, but looking over it before I send it in, it is missing a marking on my colt, do I need to have the breeder correct that now or can it be corrected later? All the other info matches, it is just missing one in the typed in portion, or can...

...but not to horses. Hi! I didn't see a specific place for an intro, so figured I'd put it here at the top :P I bought my first mini this past weekend when my dad went to buy his first mini. I was undecided until I saw them! OMG! love at first site. They're so cute! So we came home with...
