So I found a surprise yesterday morning when I fed horses before work. My mare didn't seem ready but she pulled a fast one on me. Super glad she is an experienced mare and all went well. Now I have a cute colt and he is tiny like his daddy. I'm thinking he is going to be black but I see he has...

I don't know if this helps or not but this is my smokey black mare in winter woolies, freshly clipped and summer coat. She's a pretty visual smokey black as she always looks faded or dark chestnut but I know some smokey blacks can just look plain black. By the way she is also out of a black sire...

Thank you for answering my probably very odd question I just want to make sure I'm filling it out right.

Ok that's what I kind of figured but I wasn't entirely sure. So then is there a form that we need for a farm name or does does that tie in with the prefix application?

So I'm really thinking about applying for a prefix but I'm not quite sure how the paperwork should be filled out. It says give three choices for a prefix so is it asking for your farm name choices or like the acronym type stuff you put in front of your horses name? It might be a dumb question...

Thank you for the advice! I'll definitely look into getting one or figuring out how to make one. I am by no means an expert driver or trainer, it's just what has worked for me in the past. Didn't grow up around other horse people and my parents never knew an eye from a hoof so I've always just...

So I have trained three of my horses to drive with no issues. They were all very laid back and could have cared less what I did with them. Now I'm working with my wild child mare and she is almost totally opposite. I know she is going to be what you would call a hot mare. She is very friendly...

She doesn't seem to be in heat all the time. I've had a mare that was and from what I can tell she's cycling normally. I was not thinking that supplements would be a magical cure but I'm just curious if anyone has used them and if they help with calming the moodiness. I am not stopping her...

It has been all the time since earlier in the spring. Before and after I put the stallion in. I've seen supplements to add to the mares feed to help with the moodiness but I don't know anyone who has used them so I'm not sure if they actually work or if they would do any good in her case. I am...

So I have a 4 year old mare that has always been very spirited. I love this girl like crazy and she has never offered any harmful behavior until this year. This is her first year being around and in with a stallion and ever since spring she has now become very marish and has tried kicking at me...

Thank you! Over the 20th. Hmmm. Shoot I made plans to go to a concert with a couple friends and thats the night. Dang. I wish they still had a show at the state fair grounds like a couple years ago. I knew where that was and it was only about a two hour drive. I am terrible with directions. Ha...

Thank you disneyhorse for the advice and support, I do realize they are not outstanding quality mares, although the filly could bloom in a couple years after she matures because I know yearlings and even two to three year olds can have super ugly phases where you think there is no hope for them...

Ok I think I nead to clarify this right now and say these are not my first horses and I have no intention of breeding thinking to make money. I have read that newbies thread so thank you fourluckyhorseshoes for showing me that. I have experience in breeding full size horses and I would be an...

I am sorry, I really am trying to listen but like I had asked originally if you are going to be harsh and mean and rip me a new one about things instead of kind and helpful I asked you not to reply. I did this so a fight would not start, as that was never my intention. I promise I do want to...

I truely have seen alot worse than these two mares. I have seen several minis that come from breeders just to breed little horses and say they are quality even though they are only a couple hundred dollars and they are so badly conformed with terrible legs, no chest, a neck that comes out of...

Thank you for your advice guys! It really does help. I just want to note that both are registered and the I had gone with my former friend to get this filly from the former Fox Hollow Miniatures so I did know a bit about her before I found her at his place this spring. The perlino pinto is...

Thank you guys for your opinions. I am more experienced with quarter horse conformation so these little guys are still new to me and I live in central MN so there are no actual reputable show/breeding farms around here so all I have been able to do is look at pictures online and hope that I am...

Hi there, I have two girls and I am semi new to miniatures. I don't fully understand the finer points of conformation like hips and shoulders and so on. I know the more obvious things such as legs, bite, heads, body proportion. I am one of those people who has to actually see it and compare good...

Thank you all for the advise. I have thought about calling the sheriff believe me because I am so ticked off and hurt that a close friend would do this but all the paperwork is in my name and he is telling everyone that it is my fault. Instead of he wanted the horses and I gave them to him, now...

I am wondering if anyone knows if there is anything special feeding and care wise I have to do on a yearling I just rescued. I had the horses and had to get rid of them because my grandparents needed their pen for calves so instead of taking them to auction my good friend said he would take...
