    Shoes

    My instructor said when he put metal shoes on the few minis he did, he uses very small race nails. @JourneysEnd: Yes I am planning on a career as a farrier. I am in school until April and then I am out with 3 really talented farriers for the summer (who also are competing in the Canadian...

    Shoes

    Thank You everyone for your responses. Just to clarify somethings... I am just doing a bit of research on this industry as I am attending the Olds college farrier science program right now and it was kind of a question nobody really had any knowledge of. I only own 4 minis and we have not had...

    Shoes

    Hi, I was wondering how many people across this forum put shoes on their minis. And if you do, does your farrier build the shoes, or buy them? Does anyone shoe their horses to correct confo issues intheir halter horses? or just int he performance to prevent too much wear or traction? Thanks

    Meet my new little guy!

    Thanks everyone!! I love him alot and he knows it : I have been trimming them every 4 weeks to help them out. They seem to be getting better, but at the same time don't bother his ability to pull the cart or affect his daily life. Look for him in Rocky next year Kendra : :bgrin

    Meet my new little guy!

    I haven't been on this forum in forever, but I figured i would pop in and tell everyone about my new miniature! He was given to me late august. His previous owners bought him to tease their warmblood mares with but decided to get out of breeding so they don't need a mini around anymore. She...

    My First Mini Show EVER!

    We were just leaving the barn as the lights came back on. We wanted to get on the road before it hit (thinking we could get east quick enough- didn't happen) Shadow seemed to be more attracted to the geldings.... especially your guy and the grey dappled horse. It was kinda funny :aktion033...
