My farrier is retiring . We live just Southwest of Austin, TX. Does anyone have recommendations for farriers who are good with minis in this area? Thanks!

Hi! For the first time ever I'm late sending in my AMHA stallion report :DOH! . I was filling out the work order form and noticed it says $25.00 for the late stallion report PLUS $10.00 per mare. Does that mean I have to pay $25.00 AND an additional $10.00 for every mare on it? Usually the...

Hi! We just got a mini mare that I adore and is generally very easy to work with - easy to catch, leads respectfully, etc., but she is really sensitive about her back feet. When I try to pick up a back foot, she stomps it down or kicks out backwards (not at me), then steps in towards me as if...

Hi! I am wanting to train one of our taller minis as a leadline horse for a 3 year old. The mare is 37" tall. Now I just need to get a saddle - any suggestions from anyone of mini western saddles and/or saddle pads that are particularly well-made and fit well? Thanks!

Okay, so I have the opportunity to buy this beautiful mare, lovely confirmation, very refined. However, I know that her sire has had two dwarf foals with two different mares (but not the dam of this mare). The mare is definitely not a dwarf, and I've seen two other foals from this pairing of...

I was reading the thread on LWO and overo genetics that talked about how the LWO gene can "hide" in solid or tobiano appearing horses. I have the opposite question though: Can a horse have obvious frame overo characteristics, yet not have the LWO gene?

I saw on a related post that a number of you feed ground flax seed and have a question for you: do whole flax seeds do anything for the horse or do you have to grind them for them to get the benefits? Do you buy them already ground or do you have to grind them yourselves (and if so, how do you...

Hi! We just built a new barn and I'm trying to decide whether to spend the $$$ on stall mats or not. Our old barn had a clay floor with no stall mats and I felt like I could never really get it clean. I thought I'd try rubber stall mats this time, but wanted to get opinions on whether you...

I have kind of an awkward situation and would love y'all's advice. We sold two horses in a package deal to a fairly well-known breeder. One was a yearling and the other was still nursing. They paid half of the package price and picked up the yearling with a promise to pay the rest and get the...

I'm hoping someone here has some suggestions - just had a filly born to a maiden mare with tiny, inward-pointing teats and the foal can't seem to latch on to them. I tried milking some out to soften the teats, I've rubbed some colostrum on the foal's gums, and syringed some into her mouth from...

My five year old mare was just diagnosed with a luxated patella on her back leg. I thought at first that she had broken her leg - she was dragging it and it was turned at an odd angle. Thankfully x-rays showed that nothing was broken, but the tendons that hold the patella (kneecap) in place...

Hi! Could someone please do an AMHA lookup for me please? Neil was kind enough to try for me, but I had the name wrong : ! The horse is Dynastys Angel of Pine Ridge A146236 Thanks! Allisa

Just wondered if anyone here is going to the Baer Creek sale this Saturday. I'm thinking of going, there are a couple I've got my eye on : .

I was unable to attend or watch the Miniature Event Sale this past weekend and wondered if anyone has a list of the prices each went for that they can post or email, or if there is a link to a list? Thanks! ~Allisa

PAINTED PERFECTION SAHARA BEY, A 128223 I'm mostly just trying to see if she's had any registered foals. Thanks! Allisa

hi! Just a quick question on the genetics of blue eyes: are blue eyes only associated with overo genes? I know they can be associated with either splash or frame, but just wondered can a horse have blue eyes and no overo genetics? Thanks!

Hi! On another thread someone mentioned intranasal vaccines. How do they work? I'm assuming that there are no needles involved? I sure would love to get away from needles! I hate giving shots. Has anyone used intranasal vaccines and where did you buy them? Are they as effective as the...

I have a mare that is due March 1 who is bagged up already. I've had her under camera for past 2 weeks already. A really nice family with horses and horse experience (but not mini experience) expressed an interest in buying her in January and I told them they'd have to move her before Feb. 1...

Hi! I have a bay AMHA mare who has strong appy genetics on both sides, (sire was a loud leopard), but she herself has no appy characteristics at all. Is it possible for the appy genes to show up in her foals even if she's not bred to another appy? She has been exposed to an overo pinto...
