Thanks everyone! He actually is seeming more open to direction every day! I will also pick up that book! Sounds like lots of good info. Keep them coming if anyone has additional ideas! Here is our cutie, Skye.

This may seem like a silly question, but what are some things that my kids and I can do with our mini to train/ keep him tame? We got Skye almost a year ago. We have never owned horses but my kids have taken riding lessons for almost 2 years, so not completely unfamiliar with the care. Skye...

Hi everyone- This is my first winter with a mini (or actually, with any horse). My guy is super light and has double blue eyes. I stopped having him wear a fly mask a few weeks ago and his eyes seem so irritated and a little red and sun burned. I had him wear his mask yesterday and his eyes...

We adopted a 10 year old gelding (Skye) in June and have been slowly learning about how to care for him. Luckily we have a great vet and Skye is healthy and happy. I am just wondering about hay and feed and grass. He was pretty overweight when we got him and we put him directly into a dry...

We are new to minis and to this group too. We are south of Eugene.
