    Barn & Bed Down Photos! Where do your horses live?

    This is the outside of the barn. These are 10X20 foot runs. This is the inside....excuse the mess! Mares on the south side and stallions on the north. All stalls except 2 are 10x10 and the 2 are 9x10. The area in the middle is big enough to practice jumping or whatever when I have the PVC...

    Broodmare Supplement

    The entire pasture is fescue. So is mom's. And I can't afford to check it for the microbes or whatever the fescue can have to cause aborts. That is why I dry lot all my mini's. Besides....Zoe doesn't want to share anyways...LOL. Feeding everyone Brome and Strategy. I know...you are not a...

    Broodmare Supplement

    Yes, we saw the heartbeat also....just was not as exciting as watching the little tail swish back and forth.

    Broodmare Supplement

    When I called purina they still termed it as a supplement but said that they saw no reason for it since I feed strategy. Besides, it does not have trace minerals which is the main thing my vet is looking for. And I like the idea of adding a probiotic which is why I am looking at mare and foal...

    Quick Health Question

    Are miniatures sensitive to Copper? My vet wants me to get either Vita-Key or MVP Mare and Foal so I am trying to decide which one to get and I noticed that Vita-Key says not to purchase for livestock sensitive to copper. I have never heard of such a thing. Has anyone else? Has anyone used...

    Broodmare Supplement

    My property line is the back property line for a rodeo ground so I have horses from all over the place right next to us. Plus there are other horses pastured all around us. So I am always on guard for whatever is going around. Rabies is even a requirement for the area we are in. I LOVE KS...

    Showing a Miniature Horse

    I agree with getting with a local club. When you are showing in an organization thier rules will be first followed then anything not specified by thier rules will be covered by your horses registered rules. For example, I show my mini's in Pinto which has different rules than AMHA or AMHR. So...

    Broodmare Supplement

    OK, I tried doing a search as I am sure this has been discussed but I could not find it right away and my low tech abilities hinder me greatly!! I have a mare that we have bred to an older stallion that we are all holding our breath hoping that she can get through this pregnancy as we know this...

    Brome Hay

    I have a three year old (29 inch) right now that looks pregnant and since I took him off the beet pulp his pretty round rump is GONE! But on the beet pulp he looked even more pregnant. My vet keeps saying lay off the hay, lay off the hay but I had him to the point of not getting hardly any...

    Brome Hay

    Does anyone else feed brome hay? Looking for average daily amounts fed, and if that is with or without other feeds. Our brome hay quality is finally good this year so we have stopped feeding beet pulp but I am still struggling with some of the horses getting hay bellies. All of my mini's are...

    quick question

    That might have been what the vet called it, but that just does not sound familiar. I do remember that he said the eye had been damaged by a foreign object so I assume when he removed the eye he found some damage that lead him to beleive that. I have seen horses loose sight and the eye turn...

    For those that have had mares abort late term

    My sister's mare had a still born a few years ago. The mare gave no signs, they came in to feed that morning and the baby was in the stall. The mare was ignoring the baby completely. Had not cleaned her or anything and she was an experienced brood mare. The mare was perfectly fine thank God...

    Trimming your own horses' feet

    I grew up with horses and we have always done our own trimming. I use a ferrier to put shoes on or to trim a horse that needs special corrections or if I am getting ready to show so they look nicer.....(or if I am feeling lazy...LOL takes a lot out of you sometimes when they are all ready for a...

    quick question

    My daughter is writing a paper on one of our rescued mini's and for the life of me I can't remember what the vet called his eye injury. His eye had been damaged at some point in his life and had shriviled up and shrunk into his skull so of course he had to have the eye amputated when we rescued...
