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...

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...

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...

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...

Another thought my vet had was that he had heard that the dwarf gene can cause cartilage to continue to grow? This horse has absolutely no signs of dwarfism. Any thoughts on this? Is there a blood test that can be done for the dwarf gene? I can't imagine that this could be it but thought I...

My horse started having some abnormal signs so took her to the vet and he scoped her and discovered that she has a hypertrophy epiglottic. My vet has never run into this before so he is checking with a throat specialist but said it would not hurt if I checked in the mini world to see if others...

Ok, When I was a Freshman in College......a while ago......I took some Ag classes and we created feeding charts for horses. They were AWESOME. The chart looked at the horse activity the horse size and gave you the amount of each type of nurishment that the horse would need. So much types of...

I have someone interested in purchasing one of my horses that does not live in the U.S. and I am totally at a loss on how to handle the sale. Any advise or warnings would be great. I tried to do a forum search for the topic and failed miserably so topic links would be welcome also. Thank...

My little guy was born March 31 and he still has the pretiest gray / blue eyes. It has been a while since I was around babies. At what age do we know that their eye color is set?

I was sure I saw a topic on this before but I could not find it. What do you think of having goats and minis together? I had a pigmy goat for a short time and most of the mini's did not mind him at all. He was a pet and I am quite sure he thought he was a dog so not sure if his behavior...

I originally posted this on CMHR but decided to post here too as I am really needing advise. I think I have found a home for Dezzy. (He is one of the horses that I rescued / purchased.) Unfortunately I know nothing about these people except they have goats. Any Ideas on what I can do to make...

I think I have found a home for Dezzy. He is one of the horses that I rescued / purchased from the Trembly horses. Unfortunately I know nothing about these people except they have goats. Any Ideas on what I can do to make sure that I am not putting him another situation where he will need...

Ok well I am not pregnant but Honey is. I am sooo excited I had to share. And the vet looked at Amber too and said her baby looked really good. Hers was big enough we could see little legs and ribs. The vet said the foal was doing cartwheels. Showoff! Still don't know about Babe yet. Vet...

I am trying to get the paperwork filled out to register my AMHA mare with AMHR. I THINK I am filling out the right form (new to AMHR) but one of the questions has me stumped. I do not know what to call the patterns on my pinto's face. In this first photo it is real hard to see BUT this is the...

We got a baby pigmy goat and he is the cutest. He plays tag with my daughter. I don't have pictures of that yet but here is a picture of him. He is about the same size as my min pin.

These are two horses that I purchased to rescue thanks to the help of CMHR. I wanted to share thier before and after pics. CMHR is the wonderful group of people I have worked with and they know how much these poor boys have gone through. Dizzy one week after I brought him home oct 07 Dizzy...

My rescue stallion had his sergury today for his eye. Vet said he is doing GREAT and I can take him home tonight but I need to put a fly mask on him........(I do not know why he did not tell me I needed one when I have been planning this sergury for MONTHS!!...ANYWAYs)...Does anyone close to my...

I have been searching to see if there has been any additional research into what causes lacing and I am coming up blank. Has anyone seen or heard anything?

I just bought this little A size mare a couple of weeks ago. Sunday I noticed that she had the start of cloudy blue coming in her eye. My experience with quarter horses is once you see that it never goes away and eventually will encompass the entire eye and the horse looses the sight in that...
