I'll live through it, thanks everyone it means a lot <3

Thanks everyone, means a lot.

After having Elliot for abour 13 days, he passed Friday night due to colic. Being my first and only mini, I'm devastated for obvious reasons... I will be looking for a better quality mare soon, but would just like to share Elliot's departure. RIP Elliot, you captured the hearts of many and...

This is very true, thanks! Not only are we monitering his weight but he's also going on a maintenance joint supplement for young horses, just in case because we felt some heat near his cannon bone

Awesome! Where'd they get them from?

A joint

Thank you! And yes, I'm going to consult my fairrier and vet this upcoming week because I'm thinking you're right :/ I am just looking for anything I can do for the little guy, which ultimately may end up just being regular farrier trims. But we'll see, I'll keep everyone updated and thanks for...

Thank you! Yeah I'm not even 15 yet, but I'm pretty much an animal freak and have the beginning classes of becoming a zoologist (only aspirations, we'll see! lol). I also have some expirience in dog showing/obedience so I try to understand everything I can abou something to get the most out of it!

I didn't see any of cats, so I couldn't resist! Here's the kitten I kept out of the litter a stray cat that came and lived with me for a couple weeks had.

Well, there's a little bit of a problem today. I was spending time with my mini today and having a little grooming session. I haven't had him for long and he is only about 3 so I was curious as to how he is about his feet being picked up, because the farier will be coming out on the 17th to do...

Thanks, means a lot!

Thanks !

This could be true also, he'll be going to the vet and a mini clinic soon so maybe someone can shed the light on the truth of it all! Either way, he has and thank you

He's never turned out with them for that reason, one has already proved he's not welcome and he is definitely seperated at all times because they both have shoes and him being so young is in everyone's space all the time. Thanks for the tips and everything!

Thank you so much I'll make sure to I am just worried with how far out they are that he's in more pain than I think and that any amount of correction will help. The only reason that he wasn't gelded earlier is because the idiots who owned him before me (who have never even seen a horse in...

Oh not at all! I was mainly concerned for his health over anything, but since he is not a severe case my worries are definitely less and he is definitely in the right place

Thanks everyone! I've only had him for about a week and he's already stolen my heart! He is currently living with an appendix gelding and a paint mare and he is scheduled to be gelded in two weeks due to the fact that we don't need little half miniature half regular sized horses running around...

After numerous hours of research, talking to expirienced mini breeders, and about four vets, I've come a conclusion. My mini, Elliot, with his long body and large bone, being cow-hocked and the way his front legs turn out so far, is a dwarf.

Thanks! Here's a better picture, I'm pretty sure he has dwarfism he is very cow-hocked as well. These pictures should be better, now that I figured it out lol!

I just got a miniature horse, I've had him for about a week. His front legs turn out very far, like far enough to where its hard for him to lunge at larger than a walk. He's not even 3 years old yet but I just ordered a joint maintenance supplement from smart pack hoping to help. I was wondering...
