    Low-Carb Bombs

    Does anyone have any recipes for bombs? Usually just mix cream cheese, cocoa or peanut butter (powder). Sometimes I mix in dried strawberries and always some erythritol to sweeten.

    Natural BP-Reducing Supplements

    My husband has thin genes, and is not really heavy, so it has been a mystery why he has needed to be on BP meds since his mid 20s, before we met. He was normal BP on the high dose of BP medicine. He ran out of meds, didn't tell me, and was out of them for 2 weeks. Well, miraculously, when he...

    Miniature Horses: Making a Good Impression

    I am often surprised when people say that our horses are the friendliest they've ever met. The reason that I am surprised is that my experience of miniature horses as a breed is they are the friendliest horses I've ever met! However, from my visitors I often don't hear that. They always mention...

    I am Broken

    Know how a lot of Christians can come off as sounding "too goody goody"? Well I am here today to tell you how I am broken and that a few circumstances that nearly, quite literally broke me. I was going to write this on my blog, but it wouldn't be an encouragement to anyone save me because my...

    Niobe Foaling Thread IT'S A... FOALED DAY 320 6/9/14

    Hi Forum! It has been quite awhile since I have been on here. I have been so busy and time is flying. I hardly know what day it is lately. I don't know if this is the right place to post, as I do not have a barn cam, but I would like your opinions. Niobe was bred on a very lousy heat at the end...

    Disconnected Socks Sign of Pinto Blood?

    I was going through pics and noticed Lexington's socks. Could his disconnected socks be a sign that he is a pinto producer, or must he have white on his body? His sire was a pinto whose sire was a pinto. His son is a pinto, but that is because his dam is a pinto. I love this boy. My Lexiepoo. Is...

    Quickening

    The last three months before foaling are an exciting time. That is when you feel the most movement of the foal inside of your mare! I love sitting on a bucket next to Niobe and talking to her foal and feeling the responsive kicks. I think getting used to your voice is the first form of imprint...

    Appy Color? Please Explain...

    There is a pretty good understanding of solids, pinto patterns, dilutes, and coat color modifiers, but I am pretty clueless when it comes to appy color. Please share links and photos for the appy impaired like me. I know leopard and blanket... maybe. I understand few spot generally. It's a...

    The miracle of grass!

    Just last month we got the rest of our property pastured in and the hooves have improved on all, already, and the two oldest in my herd are now in perfect shape going into winter! Gradually had everyone on 2 hours per day per set. Mares then males! Just wanted to encourage those of you who do...

    Common Conformation Fault in Minis

    This is something that is seen frequently in modern minis. I used to see more bad rears but this is a fault that many may not be aware of. The straight shoulder. The front of the leg should be located where the elbow is on many, many minis. I've seen heads and necks and rears improve, but this...

    Color Possibilities

    I love my silver bay stallion but I've found that he has produced only silvers. Of course he has only been bred to one mare, and she is not silver. His daughter has produced a black bay pinto. Non Z. My question (hypothetical) if bred him to a silver bay mare do you think we would be stuck...

    Coat Color and Pattern likes and dislikes

    A good horse is never a bad color but we do develop preferences. What are your likes and dislikes? I have found that I am just not that into appies or overos. I do not like blue eyes or bald faces. I do not like seeing sclera. That said, in spite of these preferences we can see beauty in every...

    AMHR Hardship

    I would like to hardship my AMHA stallion with AMHR. My question: would his adult progeny be able to be registered AMHR then, as well? Their dam is AMHA/AMHR, but their sire is just AMHA. I have owned horses almost my entire life, and minis for the past 16 years. You would think I would...

    Slow Cooker Apple Butter

    Delicious! I'm making it with very sour wild apples, so I add an extra 1/2 cup brown sugar. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/slow-cooker-apple-butter-with-honey/

    False Pregnancy or Lost a Foal

    Jamie is my tiny princess. She is cute, sweet, and a little full of herself. A diva. She took advantage of her tininess and squeezed through a gate this May. A one-time exposure to a stallion that is now gelded and she has been out of heat since. Until yesterday, four months later. She is...

    Treating Ulcers

    Joe is quite special, and thus has had to give me a run for my money the past 2 years. The vet said that teeth are generally more of a problem in stallions and tiny heads. So we've done the whole dental thing, treated a leg laceration, he has experienced weight loss, and now rain rot. My barn...

    "I want the best horse in your herd for FREE...

    "I want the best horse in your herd for free...and by the way, he is only worth $0-$100 because his mane and tail aren't white enough." Okay, bear with me, you are my sounding board today. I know we all dream and tease about getting a perfect horse for free, and I won't turn away a fair offer...
