I've been ground driving my little one (who turned 2 in April) all summer and she does GREAT! I was able to borrow a harness from a friend but need to get my own as I can't keep hers forever. I found a good priced starter harness but when measuring her it turns out everything I've been looking...

Remember this little mammoth/mountain goat/great Pyrenees-underweight-with-potbelly-something? This pic was from when we got her, 10 months, underweight and sad - February 2012 This is after clipping her - March 2012 June 2012 Still a pretty big potbelly which got even bigger over the...

I'm new to the driving part when it comes to horses and my mini is now at the age where she's eager to learn and tends to get bored without a "job". She'll be 2 this weekend so I'm thinking of starting at least the part of driving that doesn't involve a cart yet. I've watched a few videos on...

I just bought a 2 H bumper pull slant load with a tack room up front and a solid divider wall between tack area and back. It's brand new and I got it with the intent to load my mini in the tack area - keep reading before you throw your hands up in shock. I'm aware that most people would say this...

So I'm looking for a trailer that would allow me to haul both horses together safely, not on the regular basis, but for vet trips, emergencies. It would probably be used to 90% for trips to haul material (home depot etc). My gelding is 16.2, so he needs at least 7' in height. I don't pasture...

My big gelding is desensitized to guns etc, not bothered by lighting, thunder or fireworks. My mini however gets panic attacks. During bad weather my gelding "mothers" her and hangs his head in her stall to keep her calm. Now yesterday my son and his friend started shooting paintballs across...

I've been trying to figure out if and what to add to my mini's diet. She started a year ago (at age 10 months) underweight and with a potbelly, put her on fresh grass, Total Equine feed (a forage based feed, alfalfa as the first ingredient), and grass hay. She gained weight, but also gained a...

Had all 6 of my four legged family member vaccinated yesterday. My mini got her shot around 2:30pm then around 4 I gave her a safeguard wormer (fenbendazole) This morning she was kinda mopy, let her in the pasture at 10am, she didn't run, just walked around following me, nibbling here and...

Is anyone using or has used the Dr Cook bitless bridle for their mini? I recently switched my big horse to it as he was in sheer panic everytime he saw his bitted bridle (French link snaffle bit) and always seemed bothered by the bit in his mouth. He now willingly puts on his bridle and responds...

I hope not to break any rules by posting this here, but please read her story on her profile starting with the video she posted yesterday - this sick $@&)$& needs to be caught. This guy has been abusing, severely injuring her show horses, fillies and pregnant mares, killed the guard dog they...

When I bought my mini, her legs were covered in bot fly eggs, after trying unsuccessfully to remove them I just clipped her when it warmed up and have dewormed her ever since. Now, 10 months later (which would match up with the "cycle" of eggs - larvae) I wormed her with ivermectin last week...

I had to sell my blanket as my little one grew out of it over the summer. I don't want to invest in another one as she may outgrow that after only getting a couple of wears again. My friend is a seamstress and I'm looking for a nice professional looking pattern so I can talk her into making one...

I had the same farrier until he recently moved so I was forced to find someone new. Not only was I not very impressed with his work but he also charged more than the previous one. I scheduled a new appointment with him and he didn't make it, rescheduled, didn't make it again and rescheduled...

I'm in central Texas, the temps have been anywhere between the 30's and 80's so far this winter (even both within 24 hours but that's Texas). Not sure what kind of winter to expect as last years was very mild and the year before we had 15F for days and ice everywhere. Now, I have an "event"...

I haven't been on here much and apologize if this has been posted already but I just saw this on Facebook and thought some of you may know some of the horses at this auction. It's supposed to be on dec 8, this is the link of the names/description of the horses (some of them are registered)...

Ok so I remeasured my horse, since I messed up yesterday. Whe I got her she was underweight with a potbelly. February, 10 months, 27", 90 lbs. Now she really has a belly, 17 months, and according to this measuring chart http://www.lilbeginnings.com/info/misc/ Girth: 41" Length: 40"...

My ~30" 17 months old mare thinks she's a 17hh stallion. I'm at my wits end and it's embarrassing to know I have a goofy 16.2 hh gelding that I have under control and this little girl thinks she can treat every human being like her personal punching bag. As I posted a while back, she has a bad...

It's been 3 weeks since the accident and my little girl has recovered SO WELL! I'm so glad as the vet had no idea if she would, he flat out told me that if she had hurt her abdominal wall, it would most likely be fatal. After the first day fever scare, she got better every day and is now all...

I don't know if it's due to the drought, the mild winter or Poor manure management on my part until this spring, but from march until about 3 weeks ago the flies here were horrific. I had every fly species there is, bought gallons of fly spray, decked out my mini and paint with fly masks and...

Now that my little girl is well on the road to recovery after her accident, she's being the little mare she's been before, attitude when things don't go her way, nipping me in the leg when I walk her in a direction she doesn't want to go and spinning, bucking. She was halter trained when I got...
