I'm looking for 1 large slow feeder that my 3 Minis can share, they do share regular slow feeder hay nets & the old style small Freedom Feeder just fine. It will be used outside in paddock, so one that is easy to move around to be inside the shed if weather is bad would be great. My freedom...

I've been using fly boots on my mini mare for a few years now. I opened a new set this year, same brand and size, but the fit seems different. I've tried them with Velcro straps around the front of her legs, and Velcro straps around the back. I think previously I thought around the back was...

I'm thinking about scrapping my website or downgrading to a free one. I'm not breeding horses anymore, so the purpose of the website is not fully needed anymore. I do have some educational pages on there also, one of which is the Mini Fetus Development page. I wanted to see if folks still use it...

Long story....years ago one of my first Miniatures was a blind mare, I brought her home with my pinto Canyon. When I had Koko she could see shadows/light, and she was used to living in a herd. When I started to get more serious about breeding I leased her to a forever home, and thought she would...

Just thought I would share since this product was mentioned on a different thread. I brought home a weanling filly the beginning of November, she was put on ranitidine twice a day a few days before the move, and for several days after. Despite using the preventative she did develop symptoms of...

I'm starting to go a little crazy, on websites and e-mails, I can't scroll with the wheel of my mouse. I have to go over click on the bar on the side and manually move it up or down. I have checked all the mouse settings, but I can't figure out how to change it?? I even bought a new mouse...

I have a yearling colt who is out of a solid dam, and sired by a palomino stallion with a large star/blaze WF Zeus Noble Cause.. My colt has a belly spot, a small roaned "star" and he is developing more white hair like roaning on his body, and I've even found a few white hairs mixed in his mane...

Has anyone used fly boots for Minis, and is Kensington the only kind available for Minis? Do they fit well, stay on? I have a mare who gets dermititis on her legs every spring/summer and I think it starts from little fly bites. I'm thinking if I can cover her legs to prevent the bites is might...

A big thank-you to Sister Kristina, Mother Marija and the other Sisters for foaling out Blues they took excellent care of her! Blues had a beautiful buckskin filly on May 7th. Blues is a grand-daughter of Sligo Spotted Horse, sire is CCMF Carousel Carnival buckskin leopard stallion son of...

This is a very resourceful place, so I thought I check in here for some suggestions. I have free-ranging chickens of various breeds, they have the whole farm with plenty of space to roam about. My parent's have a fenced dog yard, which hasn't been a problem up until now. I really hate to pen up...

My wonderfully sweet and innocent mama's boy weanling colt, is turning into a macho yearling! It's amazing how that happens every spring. It's been warm here in PA, and I couldn't resist any longer so I did a head/neck clip. The weather turned colder again as I knew it would, so the full body...

I have a hen that is standing around with her feathers fluffed up and head kinda pulled in, but I can't find anything wrong with her. The other chickens do pick on her because she looks different (has a pea comb, I think she isn't a pure Barred Rock like the others), she is a little over 1 year...

What would you put down for this guys head marking, is it a star, a crescent or a few white hairs? Some of my friends said AMHR would consider it a flame marking, so put that down, they might change it.

I'll try to keep this from being too explicit, LOL! I have an outside mare here for breeding, and she is 38", my stallion 31.5". We are hand breeding, and he is able to mount her and doing his best, but I'm really wondering if he is reaching far enough...He is still "belled" when he comes out of...

I am delighted to announce a new addition to the crayonbox! Please meet AV General's Blue's Reflection, aka Blues (an appropriate name for crayonbox), 34" A/R silver black leopard appaloosa mare. Blues is a daughter of Sligo General, who is sired by Sligo Spotted Horse. She is a wonderful...

My mom, my sister and I did the trip of a lifetime and spent 2 weeks traveling in Ireland. We started in Dublin, drove north west to Cruit (critch) Island in Donegal County, where we had the most delightful littl thatched cottage (self-catering) and an amazing view of the ocean! We spent a long...

I know I've heard "a friend of a friend" type stories of a colt rebreeding it's dam, but I want to know of actual experience how early you've had a colt be fertile. My two and half month old colt was mounting his dam last night and being way too accurate in his actions! I typically wait until...

Announcement was delayed because he was born in a rain storm, it rained all day yesterday...finally seeing sunshine today and could take some photos! I was so anxious going into the last foaling of the year, I knew Spring was starting something Monday night so I put the foaling alarm on just to...

Great to share some good news for a change! I'm so relieved to have this one behind me, I was so nervous and Canyon made me wait for 24 hours before she finally foaled! Canyon had a buckskin colt around 8:30pm last night. He came with some flair, only 1 hoof and a nose that I could feel, but...

Friday it was 70 degrees here, what a teaser! It was lovely, and I snapped some photos of my horse "kids". Please excuse the mud, we move from winter to mud season here in PA!! Crayonbox Wild River Canyon, 338 days gestation, carrying Carnival's first foal! I didn't realize until I loaded the...
