    Encounter With A Porcupine

    Late yesterday afternoon, my mini donks had an encounter with a porcupine! Willow, ended up with 6 quills and Charlotte had 41, most of them above her hoof on the back of her left leg, embedded in her tendon. She actually had a couple in the bottom of her hoof from kicking the porcupine. Vet...

    What Wheels and springs?

    I'm in the process of purchasing the first of 2 driving carts for my boys (and me!). I probably will be ordering a custom Amish made Wood easy entry cart. The big question is: What kind of wheels and springs should I get?? At this point, I'm thinking either motorcycle or wood.. I will be...

    NAMING NEW MINI

    As some of you have read, I am getting a new mini in a week or so. He is about 8 and has gone by the name Stewart for 2 of those years (at 2 different facilities). Stewart is a fine name, but I am not fond of it for a horse. Have any of you folks changed a horses' name once you acquired them...

    Am I Crazy To Have Such Young Horses at My Age?

    I have been curious as to know how old or young, (depending on your prospective) the average mini horse owner is on this site. When my mini Lady died almost 2 years ago, I was left with 2 mini donkeys, it would have been the perfect time to downsize after 30+ years of owning horses. But, I...

    Hello from Northwest Connecticut

    I am not new to minis or to horses, but I am new to YOUNG horses. I had 2 "big riding horses" for about 20 years (actually pony size because I am under 5' tall), then when 1 of them died, I was given a mini named Lady to borrow as a companion animal. When my horse Chico died, I got 2 mini...
