My mare has been stalled for almost a month, being fed twice daily with hay always available. The stall turns out into a small paddock area outside but there is no grass, just dirt. Would it be okay if I turned her out into a pasture? There is shelter in the pasture and the grass isn't very...

What do you do for a sun bleached mane and tail? My mare's mane is supposed to be black but instead its a brownish/tan on the top layer of hair. I searched the topic and the only solution I could find was to color it with hair dye...is this legal in AMHA/AMHR? I can't remember where I read it...

Hi everyone, I just need to let off some stress and frustration, I hope you all dont mind. My son, Hayden, is 21 months old. He was born with bilateral Adductus Metatarsus (his feet turned inward and toes curled under when walking) and so he was a little late walking. It was understandable...

Hi Everyone, I need an experienced eye to look at these photos for transfer/perm papers for AMHR. Will they work? Any critiques such as cropping it any or is her forelock okay where it is? Just from reading the other posts about how so many are refused I wanted to be sure I re-took them now...

Romy is Jumping now! Whoo Hoo!! I hope this video works, I've never posted one before. Excuse the old farm equip in the background and she was a little out of control because I just had got her out of her stall-a very hyper girl! LOL I just wanted to share my excitement that she is Jumping...

Hey Everyone, So I'm looking at my options, I've bookmarked several sites that have the miniature horse trailers but I have only found one site that sells the 'miniature horse haulers'. Its: Horse Hauler Does anyone else make these??

I've searched on google and found several websites with mini jumps but most are in the range of $275-$300 for one jump including shipping...so do you build your jumps? Is there a website or book detailing how to do this? Thanks for any info in advance!

So here lately we have started looking at either purchasing a trailer or a two horse hauler that slides in the back of a truck. I'm curious to know any pros/cons of both. What do you use? We only have one miniature mare and I am certain we won't get another for at least two years from now. I...

Well after today's workout I decided to give Romy a good brushing and trimmed her bridlepath a good bit. Since she was looking good I thought I'd measure her...this was the first time I had measured her ever-when I bought her I was told she was 34". Well I take her to a flat concrete slab, stand...

Ugh! Here lately my mare has been acting strange...I suspect she may be coming in heat because of her strange mood swings. For the past two days she has started to bite at me when I come in her stall with the feed and boy does she throw those ears back once I pour it in the bucket. I have not...

I've got a curious question, I have a 2 almost 3 year old mare that we purchased about two weeks ago. I, personally, think she is fairly correct( ) but...her hip bothers me. She lacks muscle tone and definition in her shoulder too and since we got her we've been trotting daily and working her...

This is Romy, we got her from Lauralee's Miniatures and has been such a sweet lil mare. She leads well, lets me clean her feet daily, but she can be super stubborn at times. I was hoping she would be a jumper but she balks at just ground poles. Ugh! :DOH! Oh well, we love her to death...

Hi Everyone, I was wondering what Vet guide books or horse care books have been most helpful to you? It has been a long time since we have owned horses and I would love a book that went into depth of diseases, common problems, info about vaccines and foaling, ect. and lots of pictures are a...

I got a quick question, I would love to eventually show my mare in the performance classes such as jumping or halter obstical...what type of halter is acceptable for these classes? I see the 'stock horse' type halters and 'arabian' thin cable like halters but I'm confused as to what is best. I...
