I think my vet is trying to pull a fast one on me...so I'd like some other opinions. My colt went into the vet for what we thought would be a crypt surgery, but under full anesthesia the surgeon was able to find the second one and called me afterward very happy that it would cost be...

My colt I posted about last week that the vet thought was a crypt went for his surgery this morning and the vet just called and said that it just took full anesthesia for the 2nd one to pop out! He wasn't a crypt afterall, just had one hiding real good! He is staying overnight because of the...

My vet was out to geld my colt last week and after sedating him, found him to be retaining one of his testicles. So now we have to go for the big surgery. Anyone who has been through it have any advice on what to expect from the recovery? What sort of things do I need to watch out for...

Could you please post any pics you have of your maiden mares around 250-300 days? I have a mare that I bought possibly in foal, she would be around 260-270 days right now. I'm going back and forth wondering if she pregnant. On day I say yes, the next I say no way! It would help to see some...

My guys have a jolly ball that spends the majority of the time at the lowest point of the dry lot...the horses won't even touch it. What else do you to keep your minis busy both in the stall and outside?

This just started in the past few weeks, my minis are eating the bark off the 2 trees in their dry lot and now are chewing on the top of their stall walls. What suggestions do you have to stop this? For some background...I have 3 minis, they get grain 2x per day, hay 3x per day, have access to...

I need some advice on a wireless camera system that I can hook up to a TV (or laptop) in the house and also put on marestare. This system won't get a lot of repeat use as I will be having one and only one foal born here in spring from a mare I bought bred and have no intentions of doing any...

We had a beautiful fall day today and the farrier was coming out, so I took some time while waiting for him to do some grooming and loving on the kids. After the farrier left, I snapped a few pics. Hope you enjoy! Here's all three enjoying their post-trimming snack: Here's Red with my...

I'm hoping someone on here can give me some hints. There is an auction going on down the street from my house and they are auctioning off a horse trailer. It's listed as "2 Horse, tandem axle trailer, steel, fair cond" no year is posted but based on the 1 picture they have, I would say it's...

I am in desperate need of getting a barn first aid kit together and I know of some things that should be in it, like banamine, but I'd like to get a comprehensive list together to start accumulating. Can everyone post what is in your kit and where you get it if it? Like banamine...I know I...

Coventry Lane's Right on Time...aka Rascal, our new weanling colt,...and Teaselwood's Queen of Diamonds...aka Red, a 3 year old mare...our newest additions and now we official have a "herd" :SoHappy :SoHappy Scott and Pam of Coventry Lane Miniature Horses kindly made the trip across...

My daughter, Katie and I, were thinking about showing in a local fun show. One of the new minis we have coming this weekend I am hoping can be a bit of a confidence builder for my daughter. My daughter is only 4, and Goldi, my yearling, is just too big and too wild for her to handle right now...

I was curious as to what everyone feeds their weanlings? How much minimum protein do you recommend? 12% or 14%?

Both are sweet feeds, and both are made by Purina, right? Is there a difference, is one better than the other? Are there big cost differences?

So my 2 new minis, Red and Rascal, will arrive on Sunday! Stalls are done, just need mats and bedding! I am so excited, we've been waiting for 2 months for Rascal to get weaned and for a break in Pam and Scott (Coventry Lane) show schedule so they can deliver them and now the day is just...

Today we were preparing for the arrival of our 2 new minis, building stalls and cleaning up the barn. Most of the day I had Goldi out grazing in the yard, while I cleaned her stall. Then when we brought her back into the drylot, she came in and hung out in the stall watching us...very...

Hi everyone! I have posted several times over the past few months to get advice on my search for a buddy for my daughters filly, Goldilocks! I got lots of great advice and have found her the perfect friend...oops, FRIENDS! (of course couldn't get just one, right? ) I have to saw THANK YOU...

I hear a lot of people mention that a foal/weanling/yearling looks like it has hit their awkward growth period? At about what age does that happen and how to you tell the difference between that phase and actual conformational flaws? What parts look 'funny' durring that phase? Thanks - Jen

Hi everyone! Hoping you can give me some opinions... In preparation for getting Goldilocks a buddy sometime this summer, I was beginning to think about fencing options for seperation during the introduction time. We have an area just outside the stalls fenced with woven wire fencing but I'd...

If so, plese send me a PM and I will send the link to the ad for him. For a little background...we got our first mini back in November, she's a yearling and we always knew we'd probably get a friend for her. I've gone back and forth thinking about whether we should get an older one or another...
