Thxs for the response. I kinda figured that way on it.

I have a person interested in one of our minis. We have never done an oversea's purchase or what the cost is plus quarantine and such. It would be to Auvergne, France. Anyone that can give us some advise on this and what you recommend? Thxs in advance.

Does anyone remember an article about wormers you are not to use on minis. I believe it was Quest? I have a new vet and when he was getting ready to worm a mini I had given to my neighbors I asked him not to. When I first started with minis 10 yrs ago I was told never give Quest to Minis but you...

So you don't think that smaller-shorter backs and more refined hindends do not contribute to foals getting stuck or hungup inside? Tight inside so foals cannot move into position?Legs getting hung up or foals not being able to bring their heads and legs into position? It is just my opinion but I...

We had our only foal for the year. Had not thought Shelby was in foal but she fooled us. She acted in heat during the summer so figured she did not take as she was bred one time by Atlantis (World Top 5) when he hopped a fence. This is a beautiful dark bay colt and has BOND & Patton bloodlines...

I noticed this year has been horrible for lost foals and even the mares. I tend to think that the drought in our area has created poor hay and mineral deficient grasses. I have also noticed as everyone strives for the more refined miniatures that the mares do not seem to have the hips and...

OmGoodness Kota foaled a handsome boy for you. He sure looks like daddy. Got that dishy BOND head. Long legs ? Give him a day or two and he will really unfold for you. Marked like daddy except AMAN has a bit of white in his mane. That was a great cross with the bloodlines. Congrats to you!

I just read the posts. Mona I am so very sorry for such a devastating loss. How horrible for your family. I can only offer prayers to you and your family and healing thoughts to come your way.

Thxs for the responses. I know it is a touchy subject for some folks. Dr. T you are very correct in what you said. I asked mainly as I see so many people selling down or dispersing. As someone who is window shopping I want to make sure should I purchase in the future that I research the...

I think it happens more then most will admit too. When prices were extreme on minis people had alot of money wrapped up with a horse so "By gosh gonna breed it" no matter it has problems. I have been fortunate to have had neither (knock on wood) It just seems that with so many farms dispersing...

Thank You BlackDraft. I guess I worry since it is more in the Shetland breed and I wonder with all this cross breeding for the refinement for the minis if we are headed for a mini disaster? By that I mean, as we discuss trying to breed out the dwarfism in the minis are we creating another...

I read the posts on the little stallion Einstein with interest. I have never had a dwarf born here and if I had any questions about my little babies I always contacted John Eberth with pics so he could clue me in. I know it is a closed topic so will continue with a question that I have been...

We just bought one of our first minis back and hope to show him with the Grandkids nx year. He was the second mini we ever bought and we gelded him at four and he lived in Colorado for three years. He has been home since Sunday and his attitude never changed. it is like he never was gone that...

Well, I had heard about the issues in 2008 and with new people on the BOD I am hopeful they will do what is right for the AMHR and it's members as a whole even if it means a loss of revenue this year. Sad all the way around but more so for the youth. I guess it comes down to being responsible...

So glad to hear she got her dues . What about her friend RICK? He was hiding out up here in Kansas and had called me several times looking for work so I warned as many folks as I could and spread the word. As for the nippeers I just switched the blades out as mine are in the shop being...

You can ask all the right questions and still end up with a mare with issues. I guess it depends on how ethical the seller is also. Personally I would have told the buyer she was pet quality and the reason why.
