So, My mare had her foal on 4/22/21 and they are both doing great. We had issues with the other 2 mares "stealing" the foal for a little while and it seemed I didn't have to keep them separated anymore. For several days all was well. Came home from work last night and found that my big pony mare...

So, our baby, Jasper is now 5 weeks old. He is sweet and lovable (and sometimes naughty!). We have to transfer him and his mother to another area daily (have two foal-napping mares) and we use mother on a lead to help encourage him to follow us, however being a "toddler" he is into everything...

Foalnappers! I am starting to get discouraged. Every day is a new surprise, that's for sure. Went out to feed this morning and found Snicker's foal (Jasper) standing OUTSIDE the nursery stall with a different mare. He was with our feral pony (Patches). I had noted our other mare's behavior and...

I could use some "neighborly" advice...I was at work yesterday and my son told me he called 911 because somebody in a big, black pick up truck parked alongside my property where all my animals are. He said they were yelling at the animals and revving the engine to scare them. We really don't...

HELP!! I am in a panic because of acorns. I didn't know they were toxic until after I saw one of my minis munching away. Looked it up and....oh boy! This is probably why my Pepper looks to be 12 months pregnant and with diarrhea and my oldster, Cotton Tail suddenly showing signs of diarrhea. I...

I have these beautiful minis now. How do you identify them should the unthinkable happen? (Lost, stolen,etc). I have plenty of pictures, but how would one PROVE the horse is theirs? My vet just looked at me funny when I asked him about micro chipping. What does everyone do? I know people used to...

I am a new "mini parent" to 4 little lovies, but I also have a Welsh Cobb pony that I have had for several years now. Only one person has been able to safely ride him, a 15 year old girl. She was a neighbor girl's best friend. They rode tirelessly for hours and although we have a saddle for him...

Just purchased this little girl a couple of weeks ago. Previous owner wasn't sure if she was pregnant or not. Watched her eating this morning and could swear I saw movement, but is it only wishful thinking? I can't yet get a picture of her udder or her vulva because she kicks anytime I show...

I am a new "mini mom". First one by emergency default when a neighbor had a nasty domestic quarrel involving police and removal of all animals. Mini stallion came over to my house with an ancient gelding (too bonded to separate in chaotic environment). He was to go to local horse rescue...
