That I don't want...I remember a customer of mine ( back when I owned a tack shop) told me her sheep chewed her horses tail off so I was kind of worried about that. I have 10 wethers and one buck ( who I am selling actually) So I am working on keeping them separate . The goats prefer browse in...

The fencing works great for the goats, and none of my goats have horns they are all disbudded. But thanks for that, its not a for sure thing that we'll put them all together anyhow we have plenty of grazing room for all of them even if we keep them seperated.

Oh thank you.. I just love them so much!

This is electric mesh fencing 4x4 squares with 5 strands of electric wire. I love Premier too, We live in the woods, neighbors 1/2 mile away in all directions no other horses. Around for days...Just our goats. I was planning on turning the horses out with the goats as long as the goats don't...

Hi, I purchased two weanling colts last fall who are doing wonderfully. Right now they are in board 2x3 fencing 4 foot high. This summer I had planned on turning them out on a pasture my goats "made". I use premier electric mesh fencing for my goats. I was wondering whats your opinion on...

I'm so glad to read this topic, I have owned horses all my life but never young colts and never minis. These two have been angels but I find the older one ( smaller of the two) for sure gets ornery when its time for grain. I was getting a bit worried that he was going to just start having a bad...

So true about the Mares but I am not selling my guys, soooo technically if he turns out nice I could find a really nice mare for him someday, thats a long way down the road though since for me to train him and show him would be first step. My Vet was here today and said we'd wait until they...

interesting topic seeing as though I just bought to weanlings. One is 4 months the other 6, The vet is coming today to give them their first check up and shots etc. I had intended on Gelding the younger one right of since he will indeed be too tall for mini standards but was considering keeping...

I'm not worried about the minding our winters at all..I know for sure they'll get furry and fat..I have nigerian goats too that do the same thing... I love going out to the barn and standing amongst them and feeling their warm tummies warming up my legs! ha ha! I am sure ready for the NO bugs...

Thanks! I am already having fun with them but I wish winter wasn't lurking! Although gives me a new reason to hang out in the barn now..

Ha ha good response! I have bought horses at Auctions before but would never consider that for the reason now I've got Grandchildren and I needed to visit the farm where these boys came from and meet the "parents" so to speak. And your right the saying "you get what you pay for" doesn't always...

Thanks so much! I will need to read as much as I can to do right by these little guys! Today their first shots!

So true! I've retrained LOTS Of big horses and just assumed the little ones would be easy never thinking that I was starting from scratch! ha ha! They do have great breeding on their sires side from what I can see. Who knows what I'll have until they mature thought really , regardless I've...

Thanks Joy! I just love them to pieces!

Oh thanks! BTW I read your article on the forum, its awesome and helped me a lot since the breeder didn't feed them ANY grain at all. I will check out your site thanks for your reply.

Thanks so much for your reply Chanda, I am so looking forward to my new adventure with these two cuties! Also I will take your advice on the search box!

Wish I had found this site before I bought my two! Have lots to learn! But loving being a mini owner!

Hi, I am NEW NEW NEW to this. Well let me back track, I've had horses more than 20 years of my life but have been with out them for over 10 years now. Last week I brought home two weanling colts. I want to do right by them so I want your advice on how much I should be asking from them. One...

For sure will be introducing feed slowly.. Vet comes on Monday and we'll go over what he feels they need then, I will continue slowly until his check of their health. Very excited to be apart of this mini world! I again am so thankful for this great Original post, helps me a lot! Still...

This is so very helpful, I just purchased a 4 month old weanling and a 6 month old weanling where the breeders thought was they needed only a half a handful of grain. Well I've owed full sized horses before so I at least knew I needed to give them more than that. They have pot bellies for sure...
