    Moss Out and pasture

    Has anyone used moss out on their miniatures pasture? Our paddocks have a lot of moss and would love to change it into grass. I don't need to put them on it immediately, but wondered how long. It seems it's only iron oxide of some sort, so sounds like it's safe.

    Rehabbing an injury

    I'm just brining my miniature back after a slight check ligament strain and now he needs to work that leg, carefully of course. I'm currently walking him (double lunging) on a slight hill (have no choice when it comes to enclosed area) for 30 minutes. Has anyone brought back a horse...

    ADS Freestyle Class

    I'm working on my first driving freestyle (done riding ones many times). In regular dressage, the time starts when the horse moves off from the first halt and finishes at the second halt. The ADS rulebook says the time will start when the Judge indicates. How do I know when that will be...

    The mini left behind

    I have an experienced gelding who has been to shows and CDEs, no problem. My other mini is a mare that is just a companion/pet but I'm not sure she's ever been without equine companionship. Now I want to trailer the gelding to clinics and shows and I'm worried about what I will leave behind...

    Pasture buddies, NOT

    My mare and gelding have been getting along great in a pasture together since early August. I was out of town when my husband had to break up a kicking and squealing contest on the 14th. When I purchased the mare I knew she was not happy being bred (which was not a problem for me) but now I'm...

    Fourth of July

    I have two minis who go into stalls at night but my barn is about 300 feet from a housing development of rentals, small lots, lots of houses. Last year the noise was horrific for about 3 hours on the Fourth. Luckily we have an ordaniance that stops it at 11pm. I was wondering what everyone...

    Minis Mad about Muzzles Club

    I have two new members. First we run around and see if they will get lost in the wind. Then we rub them on the ground to see if they will go away. Very frustrating to a mini! Even cellphones are more interesting!

    Is there any way to find a show record for an 11 year old AMHR gelding?

    I am a member of AMHR and tried to do a search, nothing. I know he was in the nationals as a halter horse and also has shown driving in recognized shows. Do they keep records after a year or so?

    Grazing muzzle

    Tough 1 has a new mini grazing muzzle that is just what I'm looking for but am very leary of the nylon. I've had big horses all my life and believed in leather halters only in turn out but I even wonder if a mini could break a leather halter if they got stuck. Any experiences with muzzles...

    Adjusting harness and cart with mini weight change

    Greenie questions here, but I just got a new mini who is very experienced in driving. Also got his Smart cart (cross country shafts) with one shaft rotated in a bit. Don't have anyone with CDE experience in my immediate area but so far gotten great advice here. My pasture must be better so...

    How do you hook up your mini when alone?

    I just bought my second mini, who is an accomplished CDE horse with excellent training. He came with his perfectly fitting comfort harness (Yeah) and I got to buy his Pacific smart cart so we have already had a few drives with help hooking up. He is easy to harness. Do I just take his cart...
