We're the Mini Whinnies located in Sharon,MA. Www.ncminiwhinnies.weebly.com. I heard there was another Mini Whinnies out that way but have never run into them at any shows or 4H events so wasn't sure they were still an active group.

Yes! We are going, I'm a 4H leader for the Mini Whinnies 4-H club and we usually bring a whole group of kids. I have one who shows in the special needs classes, she'll be thrilled to have some competition! Overall the shows are a ton of fun and the judges are great with the kids. They love the...

I also run a 4H Club called the Mini Whinnies but in Massachusetts! Www.ncminiwhinnies.weebly.com . I started our group 5 yrs ago and we've grown to 25 members. Massachusetts 4H now offers Very small equine classes at most of their 4H shows. We asked for mini classes 3 yrs ago so we could...

Not sure about the bugs, never had bugs in my grain before but do agree that maybe there was some mold it could have caused a problem. I limit grain when showing especially if its a long haul to the show and is going to be a really long tiring day for them. Rain has colicked in the past and I...

I run a miniature horse club in Massachusetts also named the Mini Whinnies!! LOL Good luck with your show. - Cindy

I'm all for more shows but there are quite a few scheduled in this area for 2010 and It may be difficult to schedule w/o conflicting . I feel the same as Mary that we already have so many shows on the calender for this yr that I don't know how I would add any more. We also show Pinto. I live...

Mary, Jenny goes to Norfolk county agricultural high school, she transfered there this yr . They have one mini that they use for driving , I'm not sure what else. I'm sure she'll post on here also and let you know., I hear he has a real attitude and the kids joke with her that since she's the...

Hi, I have a mini who could use a little weight reduction! Currently he is on grassy hay and 1 cup of carbguard/day. I want to take him off grain and possibly put him on a ration balancer and then start reducing his Hay some. My question is , is it necessary to put them on a ration balancer if...

I love the clicker training idea, I hadn't thought about that. I have done some clicker work w/ him and he picks it up very quickly. I'll give it a try, I'd rather not have to twitch him every time I clip. Thanks for the advice. - Cindy

Thanks everyone for your advice. I'm going to try the twitch on him this weekend and if that doesn't work I have the Vet lined up to sedate him on Wed so we can get this done. Hopefully he'll get better w/ this over time. - Cindy

We've had a lot of troulble clipping our 2yr old gelding . We can body clip no problem but can not get near his leg, we also can't get near his ears. We've tried doing a little each day , running the clippers up and down his legs while off, then while running but not clipping to get him used to...

I think Jenny has close to 50 pts so far, Thankyou all for your help. The contest doesn't end until the end of Feb. so keep the names coming. - Cindy

I'm so glad to hear shes doing better. I did a little research online about the conection between hypothyroidism and liver function and found that it can indeed cause liver dysfunction. So, Ithink you're right it's probably due to not having her meds for a few days. It'll be interesting to see...

A similar thing happened to our Lab a few yrs back. She was 10 and was losing weight, drinking excessively and waking us up at night to go out, I was sure she had diabetes. They did bloodwork and found she had a problem with her liver. Then did an ultrasound, I was sure it was going to be cancer...

I don't know any in Texas but we do 4H in MA and she could try checking her county 4H office . Or she coould check her states 4H website and she may be able to get some contact info there.

I ordered from www.platinumperformance.com .

I just got a tube for my yearling who was recently hospitalized for colic from the Vet. It is good till 2010, so it's good for about 2 yrs. It does not say anthing about storing but I imagine it should be kept in a cool dry place. It is very thick goopy stuff so it probably would be pretty...

Could someone tell me what the actual ingedients are in thes feed? I have scoured the website but can not find it, only the percentages. Thanks

I stall my yearling gelding with my 7yr old gelding and they get along great. They are in an approx 12x8 area and are only locked in when the weather is bad otherwise they use it as a run- in. I do have to watch them when I give them grain as the older one will steal the younger ones grain. I...

We have a yearling gelding who I have noticed recently has been walking somewhat stiffly with his right hind leg. As I am new to minis, we've had him for about a yr now, I wanted to get your opinions. It's so slight that at times I'm not really sure if it's my imagination or not, at a trot he...
