We went to a sale today and found one lonely mini standing off in the back.. I ended up buying her and bringing her home. She is very underweight and I need some thoughts on getting her back up where she is. Right now she is snuggled in a stall with clean, fresh water and hay. I feed my mini's...

I am sure some of you may remember this little mare that I have, Candy. Please no flames because she's not registered. We bought her in April and was told she was bred in March to a 31" stallion (who is reg.). To me she looks further along and should have it before then. If she is in fact due...

Question... is he a hinny? He's 11 and trained for a cart and does ride.

I have no clue what it is.. and the delivery was pretty much uneventful (except for me).. i was on the phone with the vet the whole time just encase.. lol He is use to that sort of thing though, he says I keep him laughing. She laid down and in just about 1 minute pushed two times and I saw 2...

I fully understand he may need to be gelded and used for a pet. I understand he has flaws and imperfections.. I will not say one rude word to anyone who gives me their honest opinion. But I need someone who will point out either what i'm seeing is what i'm seeing or if its just me not looking at...
