My three girls, who turned into four girls later that summer are doing well, chubby and fuzzy already!! We were trimming the pepper tree in their pen yesterday and they wanted to dive right in LOL Below are their names and color and approximate age. We "rescued" the three adults back in March...

Bisous, one of the three mini mares we "rescued" in March, foaled a gorgeous filly this morning at 1:55am, she was up in 20 minutes and was nursing within the hour and mom had cleaned out. She is marked almost exactly like momma and is looking like she is a silver bay, she has beautiful brown...

Bisous, Bellini and Blush all had their first farrier day with us today and besides a little bit of baby Bellini tantrum for a minute, they all were actually really good! They're doing so well and we are looking forward to Bisous to foal in another month or two based on the vets best guess after...

Vet was finally able to come out today to check my new mare, Bisous, the black mare is definitely pregnant, he only palpated, did not ultrasound but head was to the rear and he said baby was far along, one month more, maybe two, so she is close as I suspected so will be keeping an eye on her bag...

OMG looks like I just missed it!!! http://www.marewatchers.com/camera/cam/1309 Congratulations!!

Such great advice here! I’m in a similar boat with my three girls I got a couple of weeks ago. We are slowly but surely making progress though. I had to body clip them yesterday, got two done easily like they knew what it was and didn’t have time to attempt the third. They came with lice I...

I was able to identify that these are the biting (chewing) lice and not the blood sucking kind thankfully or I’d probably have some anemic girls. But man did I irritate them yesterday clipping their necks and it was quite warm. My poor girls were so itchy for the next few hours. Going to get...

Yes, thankfully I had bought them their tools, just a couple of curries and a plastic brush at this point and have kept them and everything separate from my other horses.

Here’s a zoomed pic.

So I clipped the girls necks and chests today and found lice :eek::oops::(on the two light colored ones, I'm sure the black one also has it. Suggestions for the best and most effective treatments for minis?

Thanks, contemplating having my vet go ahead and check her this week to see if he can get an estimate of fetal age if we can get an eye measurement. He is a repro specialist and used to manage a herd of 50 minis for a client he had so has lots of repro experience with them specifically. And...

So I dried two water bottles that have large openings, went out to their pen with my reach grabber LOL. I took a chair and sat down at the edge of the area with shavings, within two minutes my black mare walked over and peed and I caught it in her bottle. Got it closed up and the other bottle...

Test results! Black mare looks like a positive and white mare a negative. So I dried two water bottles that have large openings, went out to their pen with my reach grabber LOL. I took a chair and sat down at the edge of the area with shavings, within two minutes my black mare walked over and...

She is really uncomfortable isn't she, I'm watching now. Lot's of pressing, pawing and stretching. Gonna keep an eye on her, I feel like you might get some action soon!

Thanks. Yeah I have a sleekez for my Gypsies. Also hairy critters lol. I normally will do a trace clip in November on necks and chests if still hot occasionally as they’ll sweat in the barn. I normally body clip in April for our first show which is now cancelled. These mini girls are super fuzzy...

Ok here are more pics. God I can’t wait til it warms up so I can bathe and clip. Poor Blush (white mare) looks like a moth has been chewing on her.

When you guys are clipping, at what overnight temps are you blanketing your clipped ones at, that live outside and not inside the barn.

I will go take some. I dewormed them with Panacur on the 21st of this month, so one week ago.
