I haven't posted much lately, because I had been posted on the FB page, but after getting the email about the Secret Santa sign up (so excited) I have been playing around today. We have now had our minis for a year, and they are a year and a half old and doing great! Since my last post, we...

Hi all! So, not too long ago, we clipped one of my yearling mares, Ivy. Once the fuzzies were gone, we noticed we could see some of her ribs. We have not clipped Holly yet. She shed the longest hairs out, and her face, but the rest of her is still kinda fuzzy. I'm pretty confident the girls...

So, I have had my gelding Tucker for a month. I would love to see pictures of his parents. I know their names, and I can find their names on websites, but not photos of them. I am sure this is a long shot, BUT just in case Tucker's parents are on your farm...His registered name is Four Pines...

So, as you may know, I have the two yearling mares I have had since October, and I recently (a month ago) bought a three year old gelding. I got the gelding bc I wanted to work a house now, and I knew that I couldn't work the mares yet bc they are still babies. I was also considering showing...

Hi! I haven't posted in a while, but for a month or so after I bought my first two mini mares (6 mos old) I was asking questions every other day. Been busy putting all the good advice to use, and I also joined the FB mini horse group. The girls are a year old now, and doing great! They walk...

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a while, but you may remember me as the clueless lady who asked a bazillion questions about her little mini babies Things are going very well. We are on a good routine. Mom gets the girls out of their stall in the morning and gives them a morning portion of...

What shots do they need, and when? We have the vet out every year to give the bigs their shots, but I didn't know if babies need anything special, like puppies and kittens do? Sorry to be a pest! I bought several miniature horse books, but it seems most of them focus on grown ones. Thank you...

So we've had the mini babies a little more than a month and so we went to trim their feet today. The previous owners had gotten them used to picking their feet up, and I'd been picking up their feet to check them and keep them used to it. Today, Dad went to trim them bc they looked a little long...

Do baby horses need special shots like puppies and kittens do? I know older horses can have their coggins test, and some shots as well. When/what shots do my little ones need? As always, thanks!

My Christmas cards this year are focusing on our babies. And here is my stepdaughter with Ivy .

It's me again, Margaret! First, thanks to all who helped me with the feed question. I posted a longer update on that thread, but the short update is: I gots hay, I gots growth feed, and we are on a regular schedule. Their bellies already look better. Secondly: we haven't hand fed our two girls...

Hi guys! As you may remember, I just got my first two minis. They are now six and seven months. Mom is at home all day, so she lets them out to graze on grass during the day and then in the afternoon puts them back in their stalls with just a little hay to munch on during the night. A couple...

As mentioned in my other post, Holly and Ivy are 5 and 4 months, respectively. We've had them for two weeks now. What I don't think I mentioned, is that we met them at our county fair bc their farm had them there as a petting zoo. Upon inquiries, we found out they were for sale, and the rest is...

Just got my first minis last Monday, and I keep making everyone look at them! Introducing Holly (5 months, the brown baby) Ivy (4 months, the lighter one)

Hello everyone! I have always loved horses, and had a pony growing up. My parents have two "bigs," but Monday I got an early 30th birthday present: two minis of my very own! I have Holly, who is 5 months old, and Ivy, who is 4 months old. They are from a great farm with a fabulous teenage...
