Help! I have a 10 week old mini mule that keeps getting out of our pasture . We've added barbed wire, electric fence, tried temporarily putting him in a corral and he gets out. I have 7 acres. His mother doesn't seem to care that he's wandering. I am completely stressed out about it. I have...

I was afraid of that. I'm not sure if I'll keep him though. Maybe after they're both gelded I can put them together.

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice. My mini mule (Max) is going on 7 weeks and desperately wants to be in the big pasture with my mini colt/ stallion (who's 18 months) and my mini jennet who's 14 months. So far I've kept Max and his mom separate. At what age should i attempt them to all...

Lilly is BEAUTIFUL!

Oh Renee! I am so sorry!!! I'm so heartbroken for you! When we lost our foal last February all I could think was I never want to breed my horses again, although I knew we had one more to go. It is the worst thing to go through. I was terrified of the next one delivering. I understand your...

Is your baby doing better?

Congratulations!!! Baby is beautiful!!! I have no idea about the snap test as I'm new too. Is the foal nursing yet though? I think they should be nursing within the first hour so I'd be concerned.

I feel your pain! Pretty sure mine was post dates. Prayers for a healthy delivery!

Question: my newborn mule is already nibbling grass at 1 day. I've read that they don't do this until around 1 week. He seems to be nursing well and energetic. Should I be worried? I've found nothing online to say if this is ok.

We named him Maximilian, "Max".

Any news yet? I can't wait to see pics of your new baby. :)

Maybe "Mac". Not sure yet. Mother's name is Molly. Also thought of Snickers, haha.

We FINALLY have a baby! Baby boy (mule) born at 0740!

Its crazy how long they can carry in comparison to another mare. Sometumes I think she'll never deliver, it's just an illusion haha. Driving me nuts!

Thank you to all. Still pregnant this morning but I expect this weekend. Nipples enlarged over night. . Today is my granddaughters 7th birthday so I'm hoping today. She would be so excited!

Looking at her nipples, I'm thinking might still be another day or two? Still watery fluid, not sticky and I think her nipples will get more enlarged? I appreciate everyone's opinion!

Made it through another night. This morning her udders look like one. Stretched so tight . Wants to rub her her hind and on the side of the barn or have me scratch it lol. Milk squirts but no beading like colostrum. Will take pictures later today.

Oh wow! Maybe tonight....

Thank you. Nervously waiting as we lost one back in February by our other mini. Scared to go through that again. I did notice tonight small traces of blood in her opening, teats enlarging a little more but she still acts normal ... Eating fine and coming up for scratches and attention from me.
