Hello, I'm breeding my mini mare for the first time (Her first and my first experience). The stud I have picked out is a brown and white paint (just like my mare). The thing is; he's never bred a mare before and the lady is charging $150 for the fee. The stud is registered but I still...

Hello, I showed my mini at a few local shows throughout the summer. (She got a few first places but that was only when she was the only one in the class! haha) but when there were two other mini's she was participating with, she got last. It doesn't bother me and I was just doing it for fun...

Hello, I have 4 stalls in my barn (they're all big horse sized stalls). 3 big horses would take up three, but I will have two mini's this winter. The stall is pretty big for one mini so do you think it would be alright if I put the two together in one stall for the nights? I saw two mini's...

Hello everyone! I haven't posted here all summer-- I'm back... and with another miniature horse! Yesterday I bought a new mini =) He is 2 years old and his name is Kyle. But his toes are slightly turned out and his knees are touching... Here is a picture: To me it looks knock kneed..The...

On the first day, Saturday morning and 7am (June 1st), we were the only ones in that halter class (Pleasure Mares) so we got the trophy ;) The next morning there was one other person in that class (Arabian) and it was double judges that day so we each won a trophy and one second place ribbon :P...

Try not to laugh, I don't know what to do, our show is in two weeks! This is so embarrassing. If I cut any shorter, it'll be like down to the skin http://s21.postimg.org/i3i7eml4n/IMG_0005.jpg http://s21.postimg.org/xrjelf0qf/IMG_0004.jpg http://s24.postimg.org/nwbmqna1h/IMG_0039.jpg...

Hello, So for those of you who live in MN, you know that its been pretty crazy this year--world record of snow in April! But its jumping from winter to summer, and the horses are shedding like crazy! It was 12 degrees F last week, and this week its supposed to get up to 70! ikr? So I was...

Hello, I (might) be entering Éowyn in a 4-H miniature horse show on May 11th, but I'm not sure what classes to enter her in? I'd like to do Halter, showmanship, and in hand obstacle, and maybe bribe a horse and Liberty. So this is what it says though and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to...

Hello, I'm entering an amateur photo contest and I'm wondering which pic you guys think I should pick to enter? (Sorry, so many) Pic 1:http://s7.postimg.org/xycewarrv/All_1.jpg Pic 2:http://s23.postimg.org/wggnmcr7f/Cash_2.jpg Pic 3: http://s23.postimg.org/6d9a6neez/Cash_1.jpg Pic...

Starting monday, it has been a very busy week in the horse world. Monday, a lady dropped of a horse she is now boarding (we never boarded a horse before) and that morning, I found Peanut limping around in the pasture, so while trying to figure that out, I discovered a big gash on Cash (hey it...

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Easter, and to remember when Jesus Christ rose again after ding on the cross =) Happy Easter!!

Hello, Before, I posted about getting a good shedding tool to help Éowyn shed this spring. I got good and useful answers, so I went to Walmart and was looking in the pet section for the items you recommended, and I found this; Its called the ShedMonster Undercoat Rake. It was only $4.97 and...

Yesterday I was riding my horse Peanut, and stopped on the trail (by the pasture) to take a picture of the other horses (I had mom's camera with me ;)) Donny and Cash (my two geldings [Donny is in late 20's/early 30's and Cash is 3 yrs old]) were playing fighting. They kept nipping at each...

Hello, My barn cat, Marley, has been missing since March 9, 2013. I really miss him! I have another cat who is 7 years old and leaves for a couple months to go hunting, but comes back (once he left for two summers!). This is Marley's first time missing, and I'm worried because he left right...

Hello, I've always given my mini a small section of a square bale in the morning, and about the same amount or less at night. Even with her thick fur, she still looks overweight. Here's Éowyn right now: http://s17.postimage.org/9g96obbxb/IMG_95292.jpg...

Hello, Sorry, I've been posting quite a bit lately, but I'm just wondering; I heard that people put goldfish in their water tanks to keep out the mosquito larvae etc., but I have a problem with Algae growing in my water tank. Have you heard of putting a couple of pleco fish in a horse water...

Hello, I bought my first miniature horse in 2011 as a yearling and she came with papers to be registered with AMHR. I'm kind of confused how to though. Here's what it says; http://www.shetlandminiature.com/member-services/forms/category/registration/2.html She is two years old now, and will...

Hello, I must admit, I've been lacking grooming my mini and she's become very dirty--especially when rolling in the mud in her shed. The weather is finally getting in the 30s, but it gets colder and night and today its in the 20s (Fahrenheit) I want to give her a bath --at least just get her...

I feel so bad for Éowyn when it gets warmer out and she's trying to itch off all that fur! Its still winter here, but its been warming up--its about 32 degrees right now so the snow is melting a little bit. What do you do when your mini's start to shed? I don't have clippers so I couldn't shave...

Last year Lil Éowyn did pretty good. I kept her on grass. Her pasture has a lot of space, but there's not much grass in the summer because she eats it down to the root ;) So during the day I usually let her out on two lunge lines linked together tied to a tire--we hardly had to mow our lawn last...
