    Peanut

    Hey everyone. I have not been on in awhile. Life has been very busy. I am sad to say that we lost Peanut last week. He just died of old age. They have been out at my mom in laws for the past month. He was loving it over there. My husband found him under the big oak they liked to lay under. He...

    Clean teeth

    Is there a snack for horses that will keep their teeth clean like they have for dogs?

    Annabelle

    I don't know if I am supposed to put this over here anymore. Just wanted to thank everyone who helped me with my Annabelle getting here. She turned one year old Wednesday. We have been celebrating all week. She is such a little stinker. We love her so much! She is our baby. Love this forum and...

    First experience with a wildly aggressive little stud horse

    Oh my! A friend came by the other day and was offering me a miniature 6 yr old stallion. I said no but called my sis in law bc she wanted my Annabelle. The girl told me that he was driving her quarter horses crazy and keeping them in heat. My sis in law said she would take him but wanted him...

    Patty hurt her leg. What should I do?

    Patty got her leg hung up in the fence. I know that she was standing there for at least four hours, maybe more. She seems to have locking sifle in her back right leg. She is laying down a lot. Should I just let her rest for awhile or keep her up?

    Can a horse have worms on their skin?

    I was giving Patty a bath today. I thought she had dandruff in her mane. She had some bumps on her neck and I scraped them. I was scraping the white scabs. As I was scraping I picked some off and they got l ong and skinny. Not real long, but it did not stay looking like a scab or dandruff. She...

    Grass or feed

    Which makes horses gain more weight, feed or grass? I am noticing that two of my minis are a little overweight since shedding their coats. Just a bit overweight, not too much. They get feed twice a day. They graze all day then go to their pen at night. One is really old and has quite a bit of...

    Flies and June bugs

    I am so glad to see warm weather! With this wonderful weather I have so many flies this year! There is at least one fly in every room of my house that will drive you crazy! We grilled Sunday and had the front and back door open. I had to hang a fly strip in the kitchen to help me out! Then at...

    Emergency, Annabelle is not doing good

    Annabelle was lethargic and just laying around. I saw a drop of blood on her back where something bit her! Both eyes were swollen, one more than the other. Kate listened to her belly and it was gurgling so she said it was not colic. She called her vet and went and got her a shot. I thought maybe...

    Ants

    I need to know what others use for ants. I get fire ants really bad. I now have the yard fenced in for horses and I am not sure what to use. I normally use turf ranger. It works great!

    Storage Disease

    Has anyone heard of this disease? My son has a baby with a girl who brought 2 precious little girls with her into their relationship. They are the only ones who call me Memaw. I love it! I have been pushing for them to get the oldest to a specialist to get a diagnosis. You can look at her and...

    I was spreading some fresh straw in their pen in the area where they poop and I found 5 big bones packed in it! They were about the size of a big chicken leg bone but a bit shorter! I was rather grossed out! It was standlee straw that was packed in a bag from tractor supply. Has anyone else ever...

    Skittish horse

    Just wondering about my horse. I have had him 10 months. He is so skittish. I thought it would go away but it hasn't. When you put a lead rope on him he acts like he has had a lot of training. He minds so well. I have to walk up to him real slow, he will usually start moving away and I tell him...

    Persimmons

    I put the horses out to graze a little by the persimmon tree. Peanut, my oldest just loves them. Well I decided to check and see if it was okay for pregnant horses. The first ad was lil beginnings! Back in 2005. Well I moved them away from the tree. I only have 5 of them! Thank goodness only one...

    9 months later, Patty, Wishbone and Lil Peanut!

    When we first got these ponies, you could see Wishbones and Peanuts hip bones. We were told that was bc they were do old and that we would probably never be able to get the weight back on them. Look at them now. The first photos were taken Feb 25th 2014.

    Patty is starting to get big

    I don't know when she was bred. I saw it but did not know to write it down bc I thought the guys were to old to reproduce. Lol. I am thinking it was march or April. She is getting big though. I thought I would post pics for y'all. She is just too sweet.

It is not bright yellow. They are feeding it to their animals. Did mine just get a taste for something...

    Wirey mane

    How can I tame Patty's mane. It is always wirey and kinky. I would like to just comb something through it. We did not do so well bathing. It was rather stressful for the both of us. I have only bathed her once and that was shortly after I had gotten her. I just brush her really well. I tried...

    Mounds of Poop

    Yes this is more than likely the most stupid question ever asked. So what do you do with all this poop? I am just piling it up in a spot and then scattering it out on places without dirt ( I live on an iron ore rock) I guess it will eventually grow pretty grass in those spots. Thought about...
