I think this is going to be a "no" answer, but can't find what I need on the ShetlandMiniatures site.... Have a colt from this year with both parents AMHA/AMHR and sire is also ASPC; colt is 62.5" Arenosa. I am trying to familiarize myself with the shetland rules and world, so please bear with...

The recent threads about stall cleaning and pasture vacs have me thinking about an easier way to do outside cleanup. In lieu of the 3000.00+ Pasture Vac, has anyone tried an option like this? Did it pick up manure very well? The reviews I've found sound like it handles things like pine cones...

I LOVE this little mare...Lacey is the one in my avatar. she is so considerate Day 335, 11:00am.....COLT! Our first live birth here and we are thrilled with this boy! I really didn't think she was quite ready! My *formerly* non-horsey husband was home today while I was 20 minutes away at...

Need advice please.....Charm is 11 months old. She had her first foal vaccines at just under 8 months of age, and I didn't realize then that a booster was needed, or I would have noted it on the calendar and had it done. So when we had the vet here a couple of weeks ago, she redid the vaccine...

The mare here who happens to be at the bottom of the pecking order, is due to foal first this year. This will be the first foal here and usually my little herd of 5 mares and a yearling run together in a 3 acre pasture. How long do you think I need to keep the mare and new baby separate from the...

I am kind of sad because the vet was here this morning and I had her look over my coming 3-year old mare (wanted to train to drive...exceptionally nice mover). Little Zoey had a collision with another smaller horse about 6 weeks ago when they were out being frisky on a breezy day. I saw it but...

I tried doing a search for this, no luck, so here are the questions: I have a weanling filly (AMHR) that the seller is leaving to me to name/register and I have not done this before. Looked at AMHR's website and I see a form to register a farm prefix for 200.00. Am I correct to assume this is...

Has anyone had a horse do this, and what did you do to treat/did it just resolve on its own? Sofie started this sporadic dry cough a couple of weeks ago, after having an alfalfa treat. She only coughs several times a day and no rhyme or reason to it, has no other symptoms of being off, good...

Made ya look! Please to introduce our new additions: Raven, (Magic Mist Dark Secret) and her 3-1/2 month filly, Charm..... :wub A big thank you to Mary at LeMar Miniatures (BuckskinGal here on the forum) for allowing us to purchase this lovely pair. They are even nicer than I expected and...

I could really use some advice please...... In a week or so, we will have a new mare and her young foal joining us (very excited). I only have 3 other horses here at the moment, the fourth is coming back in mid August (she is usually the dominant mare). When I have added a horse before, we...

Her papers say simply "dun" for color; the seller advertised her as liver chestnut. When she is clipped, all these light colored dapply things appear. I don't see the same dun leg barring that some dun color websites show, but there are some markings that are odd. No dorsal stripe or shoulder...

Help! I've never had a horse shipped before and am looking at one that would need to be transported about 900 miles. I found some old threads that discussed this, 2005-6 people were paying amazingly low rates like .57/mile. Those were the days Please share.....I really need some kind of a...

I'm just asking opinions because one of my mares is out for breeding, and I was talking to the stallion owner today. They were hand bred on 3 alternating days when she cycled in early June, yet ever since, the mare acts like she keeps coming back in heat. The stallion owner (I'm not there so I...

Well, I have one of those "is she or isn't she?" girls who was pasture bred last year, in with the stallion through late summer. I have all but given up on here even being pregnant after all this time, but there are a couple of things I would love input on if they ring bells with anyone...

Wondering if I should stock up on some of the local grass hay being offered right now. It is less $ than the more nutritious eastern Oregon orchard grass I have been feeding, and I am wondering if feeding a mix of the two hays would be OK? As long as the local stuff is not coarse, it would be...

Need help...Zoey is looking pretty good for her show debut this weekend, but the stuff I bought at Jeffers a while ago (Fiebing's clear hoof polish) looks shiny for about an hour then the shine is gone. Can anyone recommend a brand that lasts through the day at least? The feed store by me has...

I am bringing little Zoey (2 year old pinto filly, by Rivenburgh's Let's Roll SE and a Farmyard Frolic mare)...it will be the first show ever......for both of us! We will enter: - Amateur mares level 1 - my daughter will do a halter class with her in youth mares 12 and under - 2-year old...

I'm brand new to showing, and planning to enter 2-year old Zoey in the NW miniature horse club show July 5th/6th. I just noticed there is an "open" show at the Mt. Hood Equestrian Center near me this weekend, with mini classes plus everyone else. Do any of you ever enter these types of shows...

I have a *probably* pregnant mare here who is always extremely neat in her stall and uses only the space along the back wall for the toilet. The last 2 nights, she is leaving a few puddles randomly around the stall, plus has stomped little bits of manure all over. What's that all about? I am...

Lacey is away being bred to my favorite Arenosa stallion, and my daughter and I are missing her so much!!! This mare is a daughter of Flabys Delilah, and we are really excited about this cross and what we hope we will get next year. Lace has the sweetest, kindest personality and she is a very...
