    Safely sire out a stallion?

    Hey all! Just wondering if anyone has any info on how to safely (and successfully) sire out a stallion? I would like to start doing it with Buddy, (my miniature palomino stud), but, frankly, I’m not sure where to start. I’ve read things about contracts and having the owners of the mares test the...

    Questions about my mare

    It’s going to be hard to tell from these pictures, but there is something going on with my mare’s fur, among other things. I would love ANYone’s opinion about this stuff. I have noticed that she’s been losing more fur than normal for this time of year. Both sides of her neck have REALLY thin fur...

    Gestation period

    I have got a pony mare (she is about 42 inches tall), who I am 99% sure is pregnant. She will be about 3 months along in the middle of August. To give you some background (just because;)), I got her in May. Her name is Pegasus (I call her Peg or Peggy) and she was a rescue, so NOTHING was known...

    Teeth problems

    Okay, I would like to know when minis stop losing their baby teeth? I was feeding my stallion, Buddy, this morning, when I looked in his feed bucket and found a tooth.

The only reason that I didn’t get both at the same time is because the owner was not willing to give me the mare for free at the time. Now she is! The mare (I decided to name her Maggie) is black and...

    Training the stallion

    I just cannot pass up everyone’s helpful advice.:D I am having a bit of trouble getting my stallion, Buddy out of a biting habit. I realize that he is full of hormones and I think he’s just trying to “keep me in line” like he would in a herd. Because, when I lead him ANYwhere he will try and get...

    Electric fence...to use or not to use

    Got another question for y’all experts out there. I need to separate our paddock in order to have stallions on one side and mares on the other. Ideally, I would split it with cattle panel, because that is what everything else is fenced with around here (that and barbed wire). However, it would...

    My first mini!

    Hey all! I know I don’t have to do this whenever something happens but I find it kind of fun to share experiences:D. I got my first miniature horse yesterday afternoon! He is a palomino stallion/stud. His name is Buddy, and I’m hoping that he will be the daddy horse to my future foals. Getting...

    Hello from the sticks of KS!

    Hi everyone! I’m so happy that I’m able to be apart of this fellowship of mini lovers! I am just about to get my first mini horse, a palomino stallion, and I am very excited! I have probably looked at almost every website on the internet, read quite a few books, and have filled a folder with a...
