This is crystal, when I bought her she was solid black mare, this spring she's gained quite a bit of weight on relatively sparse grass turnout. She's now locked in drylot and getting 1/4 flake quality grass hay per day spaced over 2-3 feedings. I was looking her over while she was eating and I...

I had a new farrier out, he showed up with his son? apprentice? to trim the girls. He trimmed Lass(grulla), fixed some long toes, and a small amount of flare in her back feet. His partner trimmed Crystal(black). I'm so used to big horses, that I'm second guessing his work. How do they look...

Asking for a friend, who game me permission to post here looking for help. Does anyone know A Jerry & Linda Marcum, ID # 82957. She's calling amha tomorrow, has already been in contact with pacific pintos (original breeder/owner) to check their end. Thought we would take a shot in the dark. Any...

When I bought my first mini mare last spring, they warned me. "This is how it starts you know..." I just wanted a retired broodmare to keep my paint mare company, and someday teach my son about the basics of grooming and care. So I brought Lass home to be a spoiled pasture princess. Then I fell...

looking for advice, or opinions on what is more sensible. So our goal is to eventually become a smaller hobby farm breeding quality AMHA/AMHR double registered show stock with our own stallion and band of mares.Right now, however, we have one mare we plan to breed this spring, and the stud fee...

Hi everyone, I have a very healthy and happy 23 year old mini mare. She failed to settle in 2013 & 2014, but had a successful run as a broodmare in her younger days. She was sold to me as barren and I have no plans to try and get a foal from her, but I do plan to breed her pasture mate. Would it...

Hi everyone! I'm trying to find a stallion for my maiden AMHA mare, but I am having a heck of a time! I cant seem to find listings in the usual places (dreamhorse, equine now). Is there a secret to finding a mini stallion? looking for more of a stockhorse build, not the arabian type, under 33"...

Hi everyone! I was on here earlier this year when I bought my old lady Lass, who was exposed to a stallion and then had a false pregnancy. I myself was pregnant at the time, and relieved to not have to foal out a mare when I myself was 9 months along! Now I'm a stay at home mom to my cutie son...

I tried calling AMHA but I can't get through to anyone. I have an opportunity to "rescue" this mare from a bad situation, but she only has the temporary cert. of registration, Does anyone here know what it takes to get her full papers at age 13? I am clueless, but feel like I need to get this...

Went out to feed miss lass and sit and watch her eat for a while/hang out in her stall. I noticed such a difference in her belly after turnout time today. Should I start adding night checks? Top is tonight, bottom is day before yesterday.

So, going with the assumption that my mare is pregnant, I want to start looking into getting a video monitor set up in her stall for night time viewing. I am almost 7 months pregnant myself, and our barn is at the back of the property. I would prefer to watch from the house until I see labor...

Hi everyone! I'm new here and so happy to have found this forum! I recently (like 9 days ago) bought my first mini mare, and I was told she did not settle. Her last cover was late May, and I've been taking progress pictures since she moved home. I am used to full size horses, and have a lot of...
