    Converting metal to wooden shafts

    I love my little EZ Entry cart, but for a couple of things. One is the rattling of the joined shafts. I don't know if it is possible to replace metal shafts with wood. Has anyone tried it? The other is more important - my aging back is resenting the bumpy ride we get crossing frozen fields. I...

    Anybody using a Portagrazer?

    I am looking for advice regarding the Portagrazer. They have a model specific for feeding minis. Does anybody use it? Pros and Cons? It is not a small investment, but worth it if less hay is wasted and soaking more convenient.

    Converting cart to sleigh

    Consuelo is slowly losing weight and getting in condition with 45 min a day pulling an EZ entry cart. Now with 8 inches of snow on the ground, I'd like to continue our regimen, but my husband questions whether the runners that are marketed for conversion will work on unpacked surfaces. His...

    Consuelo's feet - Opinions please

    When I purchased/rescued Consuelo last Spring, she had badly overgrown but not quite slipper feet. I had her hooves trimmed in February before she was shipped to Massachusetts, and again around April. My farrier has retired and I have contacted everyone in my area, but nobody will come out to...

    Consuelo foal watch

    In the process of introducing my mini, I included concerns related to foaling, not realizing that I was messing up the forum organization. I will update Consuelo's condition from here from now on, but the Introducing Consuelo posts have pictures from yesterday. I will be looking to this group...

    Introducing Consuelo - Foal watch

    I acquired this 9 year old 31.5 inch pinto miniature in mid March. She was in a sad state, with lice, worms, respiratory infection and long feet. The equine dentist said he didn't think she had ever had her teeth floated. She is very compliant and sweet tempered, engaging in mutual grooming...
