    Double K clipper

    Sharpening clipper blades

    I have no good places to sharpen my blades here. Does anyone have a suggestion on somewhere I can send them with a reasonable turnaround time? Also, how many times do you sharpen them before just replacing instead? Thanks.

    New Filly Dwarf????

    My farrier used an expoxy to build up my dwarfs hoof and it lasted for over a year. He trimmed it every 8 weeks and he moves wonderfully. It worked so well that when I gave him to a new owner, the farrier didn't realize it was the same horse until she mentioned the name of the horse.

    Need help naming my colt...

    How about Mima Oaks Gs Bucks by George? Gives you lotsa options for a barn name. I have one named "By George he's buckin barley" and Barley fits his personality perfectly.

    Stud report help

    I was very sick for the last year. My stud was pasture bred with my mares but I never even realized that I didn't ask anyone to remind me of the stud report (AMHR). Is it still . possible ? No foals have been born yet. If this years foals are not registered I would be disappointed.

    Minimally expressed dwarf being bred...advice

    My first mini was a grade mini dwarf. I gelded him and he is now a happy, spoiled mini whose best friend is an El Paca (sp). Drawfs can live wonderful lives as companion animals but should never be bred. My little one actually visited patients in the hospital and I have a picture of him with...

    Tell me about your very first mini

    I have to say, I was at the sale barn and heard someone say, he was a kicker. Peanut couldn't have been more than 3 months old and had a foot that needed help. I bought him and the mext day I held him in the cab of the pickup while we drove to the farriers. He used a special epoxy and Peanut...

    Advice for Boarding Minis

    My stable owner HATES thin horses and will feed extra for me and lets my older (and hard to keep mare) out to freely roam his property. I know she is safe and his dog will not let her off his property, a wonderful aussy that sleeps with the minis. If the stable owner truly loves horses you...

    She hates her legs touched

    I have a beautiful little mini that HATES her legs worked with which means it is very difficult to trim her. I work with her all the time and luckily have a farrier that does OK with her. She is fairly docile otherwise. Any suggestions.

    Anyone have experience with COPD?

    COPD is a complicated disease. High protein, low carb is important. They tend to do better in cool weather and they should be allowed to exercise to their own limitations. Good hydration and low dust is important. I work with humans with it and have also helped take care of many horses with...

    feed bags for miniatures

    Even though I have their teeth done every year, my minis love to dump their feed on the ground. Does anyone have a place I can buy (or a pattern for making) feed bags for them so I don't waste the feed.

    Really angry

    The stable owner will fight like crazy for any animal. I have seen it happen. In fact, he has caught things with my animals before I did. I just hate irresponible owners.

    Really angry

    I wouldn't be so upset except these owners do not even look at their horses and depend on a very kind stable owner (who isn't getting paid by them)to help this foal survive. They let 5 horses freeze last year then were mandated by the county to move them here.

    Really angry

    Owners that bought minis last October and immediately placed the stud with mares. Now if they were in Texas it wouldn't bother me, but this is in ND and the baby is going to be hard to keep alive, since they have little access to shelter. 20 below and only 4 months old is a recipe for disaster...
