Country, my black yearling gelding is not doing well in our heat/ humidity. Even when he stands under the shade trees or shelter he breaths hard. He does well in the mornings and late evening but the rest of the day he does not look comfortable. The overweight pony he is with and even our...

I was looking at the IAMHA online auction site but I can not find out where the horses are located? Is each horse still at the owners farm? How do I find out where the owners farm is? How exactly would I do transport if I were to get one? Is there any protection if I were to buy a horse that...

Could you all please pray for my dad? His name is Robert. He broke his leg when he was at work. He did not put the parking brake on and his van rolled over his leg? (not sure how that happened??) An ambulance is going to take him to the hospital. Were not sure how bad it is broken, where...

This innocent little chick just hatched a few hours ago... Then, Shadow the kitten, came to see what that moving ball of fluff was... This picture is right before he pounced. :DOH! We had to take Shadow away before he hurt the chick. Little chick is now happily living where chicks...

I have a little driving experience and know the very basics of driving. I would like to gain more experience and learn more advanced things. (like collecting and extending the trot and how to get the right lead for the canter) I know how to ride "big" horses but driving seems so different! We...

My little brother took this one, Country was being extremely hyper after his bath. Looking oh so innocent when stealing. He's laughing about it to! Runnin FREE! We were practicing the "stay" command. and then he decided I should take him out for a walk! He carried the lead...

Critiques wanted! Feel free to say whatever you'd like. I can take it. Country is a yearling gelding and some ware around 28" tall. I tried to get good pictures, I hope these will do. Any advise on how to set him up better, or how to condition him would be greatly appretiated! NOTE: I'm...

I need to do something with my gelding's mane and tail. (his first show will probably be in May) Is there a more natural way to fix sun bleaching than to dye the hair? Dose the dye have any negative affects on the hair? Also, if I dye it should I use true black color? (his bridle path and...

I was giving Country a trace clip today... and to my horror chicken lice were running all about him! :arg! (I'm pretty sure they are the chicken variety of lice?) I thought he just had dry skin, because he looked better after I gave him a hot oil treatment. We didn't even know our...

This morning when I woke up it was snowing! Country did not like the snow. He stayed warm in his shelter (yay!) until it started melting. Our milk cow, Emma Some scenery pictures... Thanks for letting me share!

I just got some Quitt (anti-chewing supplement) to try on my little "termite". How much should I give him per day? And should I put it in his feed once or twice a day? If this does not work I don't know what I'll do? He is in a pasture and munching the bark off the oak trees! He will even...

When do you all typically clip your minis? What temperatures are the days, and nights? Also, at what temperature range do you think it is safe to clip without having to blanket? (I want to clip but I only have a sheet for my mini)

Could someone please edit this photo for me? I would really appreciate it. There is a weird line across the muzzle? And If it is possible, it would be nice if the fence disappeared.

I clipped Country's head and neck on Saturday! It was time consuming but really fun! He was such a good boy. He only got wiggly when the blades started to get hot. I think I am going to describe his color as smokey hot chocolate. This one turned out a little dark Thanks for...

I might start leasing a mini and insurance will be required. What is the going rate for mortality insurance on a mini? Is there a company would you recommend? Also if any of you have ever leased a horse please share both the benefits and disadvantages of leasing. Thank you!

How far apart should a place trotting poles for a relatively long legged approximately 27" mini? Thanks!

I have a few questions about doing dressage with miniatures. When you do dressage with a cart, do you do the same patterns big horses do? I can't visualize doing things like turn on the haunches and side passing in a cart? Also, a while back their was a thread with several people wanting to...

I've noticed that some horses seem to be made with taller and some with shorter hooves. If they are trimmed as short as possible some horses still seem to have "tall" feet? (my gelding being one of them) I don't think I've ever seen any big horse with "tall" hooves, only miniatures? I'm just...

It is 28 degrees outside and has been raining lightly all morning. My crazy little gelding won't stay in his shelter. I do have a waterproof blanket but he is already wet so it wouldn't do any good? Should I be concerned about him getting to cold or will he be ok? Thank you!

I'm just curious to see how many of you all plan on attending/watching the Breeders Winter Classic this Saturday? I should be there as long as my driver (mom) does not decide to stay home! I Can't wait!
