First off, I'll say we have been working with our vet and he is stumped. He's been in practice over 50 years and specializes in horses. He said he's never seen a horse be like this before and that they've always improved, not gotten 2x worse in such a short time. Sorry this will probably be...

Update: I just talked to Purina and they said it was made Jan 2022 and to take it back to the store. The date code is on the bottom seam strip and the first two numbers are the year and next 3 are the day of the year (Julian calendar). Our code was 22013. She said let her know if there are any...

Our wonderful horse, Mooney (Stormy Rivers Show Me The Money), took his trip across the rainbow bridge today. He was an amazing boy and we miss him terribly. His paddock was right outside our back door, so it's hard going out there now because he isn't there saying hi when the door opens. We've...

I got 2 of our minis bathed and clipped today. They look so nice 😍 😍 My kiddos are taking them to their first show in a few weeks. So excited!! Every year the one mini gets more and more white. She is about 16 yrs old now and changes so much every year. It's fun to watch! When I bought her...

My little 2yr old filly, Cricket, is a nut. I've had her for a year now and have never actually sprayed her with fly spray or any other spray type stuff. Well, last night I did. She LOVED the show sheen spray, lol. She leaned into it and was begging for more. Goofball!!

We are re-doing our fencing in the next few weeks. I'm having a hard time deciding what kind. We are trying to decide between cattle panels with t-posts every 8ft (3/4 of our fields are like this), cattle panels with wood 4x4 posts every 16ft (is it strong enough that way?), black no climb with...

I'm in need of some help with my mini, Cricket. She is an Aug 2020 baby and when I got her this August as a yearling, she was mostly unhandled. She has come a long ways since then, but I feel stuck. I'm able to catch her with my arm under her neck and she hasn't tried to blow past me til today...

I got myself a new mini 4 weeks ago. She is a doll. She is a grade yearling and was pretty much unhandled. Only had her feet trimmed twice, with the second time being the day before I picked her up, so her feet and legs are working on correcting themselves. She occasionally lets me halter her...

Our minis are about 2 weeks into their new feeding regimen. They have so much more spunk and get the zoomies a lot!! Our 24yr old gelding is just a blur in front of the window as he runs past. The girls are full of spunk too, which is awesome because they need to lose some weight. Our gelding is...

I was hoping to get some conformation critique on my mare. This picture is old, so she is fatter now. Our 8 year old wants to do some showing and this horse is the most level headed of the 3 for our kids to play with. What faults does she have? Does my daughter stand a chance getting good marks...

My wonderful girl, Sadie, is showing signs of foaling, but not sure about it. She is a 7yr old maiden mare (and I'm new to breeding too). She was put in the pasture with our stallion on April 14, 2013 when our other girl had a nasty 4 day colic (many trips to the vet, but I digress). We decided...

I'm looking for new trailer tires. I have GY marathons on right now, but am looking to see if anything would be better. What do you run on your trailers? A local shop here has Triangle brand for trailer tires (no they aren't in the shape of a triangle ) Does anyone know anything about those...

My filly has changed so much in the last 2.5 years. What color would you say she is? She is 3 in August and need to send in permanent papers at that point. She was originally grulla, but now I'm not sure what to call her. Any ideas? Sire was sorrel pinto, dam was funny looking brownish black. 6...

We are moving 2800 miles in a couple weeks. Fun, fun. Our plan is to go about 500 miles a day, give or take a few, over 6 days. I am not planning on feeding grain on the trip, but wondering if I need to wean them off of grain before we go. I would think that stopping "cold turkey" would cause...

I body clipped one of my mares today, minus her legs and whiskers, and wow. She looks good! She is shiny, especially when the sun hits her. Maybe that is why she was named Mini CBS Sensation Sun Kiss. I like to leave the legs unclipped for fly protection and also the whiskers. I don't like...

SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATES Well, the time has come to re-do our trailer--probably a little overdue though. It needs a major overhaul. We bought it about a year and a half ago. It was originally a 2 horse straight load, but had been modified into a 3 mini horse. It's a 1982 WW. It's about 6' tall...

I have been trying to get rid of the potbelly on my 2 year old filly and it won't go away. I got her at 6 months old as a rescue in really bad shape. Now she gets used as a therapy horse in nursing homes I've struggled to keep her belly at the right spot and it seems like nothing I do works...

I would like to show my mini stallion with AMHA, but there are no shows within 5 or 6 hours of here (Upstate South Carolina). Is there a way to get some shows lined up for next year that are closer for those of us who want to show our minis out here without driving so far? Or, are there people...
