I'm fairly new to horses but you an look up 'horse abortion medicine' and should get results. It "something bort" I just can't recall for sure not do I know the specifics of it.

The other two mares have more normal hooves and the regular growth... Getting longer in the toe and a bit wider but nothing that looks bad. The youngest who was quite overweight recently had a 58lb rider on her and didn't even flinch at the weight. I know it will take time for her hooves to get...

Thank you all for the input. I've sent the farrier pictures and waiting for a reply. She is AMAZING and very explanatory while she works. She wanted to how this girl as much relief as possible right away and that's why the trim was so extreme. It's hard to tell in the pics but the hooves are a...

These are the hooves of one of my rescue girls. She came to me with awful feet and the farrier came out ASAP to take care of them and did an awesome job. Were currently in between trims and I've noticed some overgrowth in the frogs on this mare. Farrier watned me it would probably happen because...

shes salt & pepper colored with red splotches on her body, rump & face. her legs and neck are dark though.

We recently acquired 3 rescue minis. I've been gettin them used to me an bring handled but 2 of them are still pretty unruly when it comes to bathing, one specifically with her rump. I am wondering if there's any ways I can get her more desensitized to water on her butt without having to soak...

This is a poor picture but it was taken right after her bath and you can really see how dark her neck is compared to the rest. One of the reasons I didn't think she could be graying out.

Thank you for all that great information, shorthorsemom! Do the regular horse weight tapes work for minis as well? They do need to be wormed but I don't want to just guess weights. And all 3 are different sizes. I have to talk to my farrier because when I brought the girls out today(she...

They get let out to pasture currently, it's a slightly overgrown field, does it make a difference f it's tall grass or 'new' grass? Their pen is temporary right now but were picking up the materials for a rail fence tomorrow for them. They cleared tier current area out in just a day, but it's...

The farrier came out today and did an amazing job on all three girls. We discovered that they'd all foundered in the past but no signs of it currently. The girl with the really bad feet was pretty crabby about it at first but calmed down close to the end of her trim... It took a while and the...

Looks like all 3 girls have sun bleaching in their manes.

Not sure it's helpful but this is her momma.

This is one of the girls we recently took in as a rescue. Her mother is black with a few white spots on her rump, no idea what dad was. Her mom & aunt were rescued with her. So before we got these girls there was another woman looking at them(said she was from a rescue group but it turned out...

Talked to the previous owner today, she said no stallions were with them ever so no chance of pregnancy. Kind of a relief!

This is 'Maggie', she's the most outgoing of them, she was amazing to say the least when my niece got on her. Very well mannered and didn't mind it at all.

Our farrier is coming out Monday to take care of them. I picked their feet yesterday and today they look way better. I let them out in a big pasture while we out up a temporary pen for them and they were running and rolling all over. We talked about it and will get the vet appointment set up...

Yesterday we brought home 3 lovely mini mares. All 3 are overweight and one is quite obese. Bad feet all around and especially bad feet on one of them(also think she might be in heat too). We found a farrier for them that's confident she can correct the feet but I wante to get some input on...
