    Sleds

    I never thought of a sled! What a wonderful idea! Seems like there's not much fun to be had with the littles in the winter, other than mere survival like dragging buckets of fresh water out to everyone with below zero temps and wind chills. Couldn't do it this year as they aren't yet trained to...

    HELP IS THIS NORMAL!!!

    My mare is also pregnant, although I have no idea how many days along she is, however way back in August my girl had even more udder development and then it disappeared completely and is back up a bit again. I think it is a good possibility it is hormonal and the mare's body preparing. Women who...

    Do you use Balls or toys?

    None of my horses like the Jolly ball, unfortunately. The goat does once in a great while. Mini colt Jasper (9 months old) enjoys big yoga type ball. It has a handle on the cover and he likes to push it into the adults, irritating them. The Lik-it (with or without ball) was a bust. Boyfriend...

    My new “shaggy” Lil Monkey!!!

    Could he have come from the North, where it is colder? Could he possibly have Cushing's?

    Blanketing Minis ❄️

    I have blankets for each of mine and really just keep an eye on them. If anyone is shivering, they get blanketed. If they have enough body fat, are eating well, and winter coat is in good I wait. I only have one animal currently blanketed and that's my daughter's goat. I have a senior Welsh cobb...

    The more the merrier?

    Started with one that was dumped on me by a neighbor. Saw he needed a friend as my bigger horse was mean to him. So went looking for a mare hoping to get him gelded quickly. I ended up with three mares! I fell in love with one, but she was elderly and they would only give her to me if I bought a...

    Advice on pregnant mare care?

    I finally found a 300' ethernet cable on Amazon and it just came in. Instead of patching in a wifi extending halfway into the yard, along with another extension cord, etc., My kiddo put it up and it's perfect. Only wish I had it sooner. If I recall it cost around $69 US. I use Defender cameras...

    Please vote for Sodapop!!

    How do we vote? Not familiar with this store. What a cute picture! At first I didn't see the backdrop and wondered why Santa was standing on a bench like he was scared of Sodapop! LOL (have old lady eyes!) Love her Christmas outfit!

    I hate being that person... But.... What do you think

    I've got a hairy, prickly mare now too! Even with pictures it's hard to tell sometimes! Your girl is looking more ready :) Good of kids to help too :) We don't have electric near our shed, but use really long extension cords, long ethernet cable and wireless extender. Works (most of the time)...

    help please with pregnant mare :)

    I share pictures here mostly! LOL I sometimes use the WEE FOAL test if suspected to be 120-300 days. It's hard to get now and you would have to order it from where it is produced (New Zeland). My vet has checked via palpation but his verdict has been unreliable in the past. I no longer let him...

    My Mare is Possibly Pregnant.

    So another month has rolled by since my last photos of Pepper! She's just even bigger now but that's about it. I'm now thinking perhaps she started showing that belly immediately after conception because I've been waiting for something significant to happen since I was so sure in AUGUST it...

    Buying a harness?

    Following this with interest! Mostly the ground driving part, never having done it. As far as I know, my littles don't have any experience in this either. Stupid question, but how do you start them off in driving 101? If they walk beside you normally, how do you get them to move on from way...

    My "helper"

    What a cutie! I think that's another goal they have, to make chores more interesting! I was trying to pull a hose through the gate to give them water and my boys kept poking me in the ribs, tickling me and having water splash everywhere! (I also have to clean around the boys as well) Glad I'm...

    help please with pregnant mare :)

    And my brood mare has a belly that's been HUGE for so long, she looks like she ate an adult person! Still have no idea when she's going to give in! Definitely all different! 🤪 I wouldn't worry if you already know they are in foal. People on this forum are wonderful and I'd have probably already...

    My Mare is Possibly Pregnant.

    UGH...I've decided she's either NEVER going to have this baby OR there's more than one baby--YIKES! OR she swallowed someone....All are possible!! She's getting so big that on some days her belly almost reaches the ground and then other days hardly looks pregnant, is slab sided, v'd, the whole...
