    Can you (do you) feed round bales to miniature horses?

    I currently have 10 miniature horses and am finding it difficult to keep hay in front of them as much as I would like. I have no experience with feeding round bales and am looking for advice.

    Is this wormer safe to feed my minis?

    GRRR!!! So frustrated!

    I wake up this morning to find that my stallion "Spot" has somehow gotten out of his pasture and in with the rest of the herd. 7 females, 2 of which are his yearling daughters and another is just 2 years old. I saw him breed one of my girls but she is an older female that, I think, cannot...

    Is this a good idea or not?

    I have been thinking about this for some time but I am not sure if it is a good idea or not. I thought this would be the place to ask as there are so many knowledgable people on this board.

    I am so upset and disgusted with myself

    I came home from a shopping trip today and noticed that one of my girls, Little Bit Of Honey, was missing from the herd lined up at the fence waiting for their hay. My heart just sank because I just knew something was terribly wrong. I went straight out into the pasture searching for her and...

    Little's or Big's? (A size or B)

    I am just starting my registered herd and have to decide what size I want to concentrate on. My stallion is 33.5 and by far my smallest mini. I have always had unregistered larger sized minis and thought that they were probably more versatile. However since my stallion has been here I can't get...

    Can you change your forum name?

    Off the wall question

    When I lived in Ohio an old time big horse breeder told me this. When they bred for ponies between big horses and minis they always bred a big stud to a mini mare. He told me that this would result in a normal sized mini for birthing and that it then grew to pony size after being born. However I...

    Color question???

    I am hoping someone here won't mind telling me what color these guys are. These are my two new minis.

    My mare Bonnie is still far to young for breeding, however since I have far to much time on my hands I thought I might start asking questions now. Bonnie an oversized AMHR, therefore would a foal out of her from a miniature stallion be just grade? Would it be better to breed her to a nice...
