    2 mares in heat for the first time for a long time.

    Are they still in heat? I'm not a pro but I'd breed every other day until they come out. When you do AI on the big ones they always breed at the end of the heat for the best chance. You're lucky to have a stud around to check them for coming back in next month instead of guessing.

    Trying new bit

    I'd go over him really well before you say it's just attitude. Check for any pulse/heat in his feet, soreness from the harness, any sore spots or heat anywhere. They can exhibit attitude and it's really them yelling at you that something is wrong. I knew one who started rearing then leaping in...

    Opinions on mini mule

    I wouldn't worry about not being able to geld him right away, his personality isn't going to change now and he can't breed your mare. You could ask your vet about ace granules, it's a powdered tranquilizer, not knock them out strong but might calm him down enough to get an iv. You could try...

    Opinions on mini mule

    She could be protecting her herd, it's very normal. Give them time to get used to each other. As long as she doesn't do more than that I think it will all work out. Poor Kazoo, I just want to hug him and let him know he's going to be ok now.

    Opinions on mini mule

    He'll settle in. If you spend some time not taking his picture 😂 and just hand around not looking at him it might help. You've gone through this already so know what to do. Take it slower with him (what his donkey side needs) and you'll be able to kiss that adorable face soon.

    Info needed on stallions

    He should stop breeding them when they are not in season. Again, he's young and so are they, if he's trying to breed them now when they aren't in season he will probably keep doing it if they are In foal unless they kick him upside the head. Older experienced mares are the best for teaching a...

    Herd Dynamics

    You could try a hormone balancer for her, it can helpbif her issues are from hormones. It could just be who she is. Feisty Mare works well but there are others out there, your tackstore should have some.

    New mini owner

    That looks like baby fuzz to me. A lot of them don't lose their baby fuzz and then grow a winter coat as well, they end up like a sheep. That should shed out soon. Have you had a vet out? He needs to be on a working schedule and get his shots. Always go slow with grass in the spring. Start with...

    Herd Dynamics

    I dont think you'll have any problems with the boys fighting. The only thing to be aware of is she will probably be all over your fence. You will need electric wire to keep her from pushing on it if she's over flirting. Regulate normally works but you have to be careful not to touch it with...

    Info needed on stallions

    Agree, the best thing you can do for him is let him be a horse and have a herd all the time. Stallions are not aggressive. Most stallions are kept alone and they are not happy or well adjusted that way. You need to know that stallions are different to work with than mares or geldings, they have...

    Mini Foal

    I'm so sorry she didn't make it but if she had severe problems it's better that she didn't. The vets say they should stand within an hour but from my limited experience with the little ones they are up closer to 20 min and running either right after they get a good drink or as soon as they get...

    Blind eye question

    She's black pinto carries red, that's all I know but probably no silver? I just found a fly mask that actually fits her😁. All the others were too big or small.

    Diet Advice for Mini Mule

    I'd feed him just like your little guy, I don't think that would be too much of a change.

    You could go see him and check out the one at the rescue too. Maybe they've done some work with that one or can tell you more about him/her with horses.

    Blind eye question

    Good idea, I'll ask about it. I've always wanted to get a mustang off the range❤. I knew a jumper years ago who only had one eye. They aren't supposed to have any depth perception but he showed open jumper and did it well.
