I'm having a bit of trouble finding stuff for my minis that fit them and are durable. My 32" mini is like a hyperactive lab puppy....if there's something new, it needs to be explored. She plays hard with my 34" mini and has a tendency to injure herself (usually fairly minor scrapes and cuts). Are fly masks and grazing muzzles safe? Knowing her, she'll find a way to get herself in trouble. However, she's also super sensitive to bug bites. I've been thinking about putting them out on pasture in a couple months. Any suggestions on fly masks or grazing muzzles that would fit? My 32" mini is more refined, with a rather tiny head. Her 34" sister is a bit more chunky.
I also need to get another set of blankets, since they've both managed to shred their Schneiders blankets. My 32" mini is a delicate creature and needs a blanket when its super cold (between 20F and -30F before wind). I usually wind up clipping before they can go naked...only time the 34" mini needs a blanket. Springs are normally pretty variable here (50s-60s during the day, 40s-30s at night). Any suggestions? I would like something with a neck cover, for those super cold days.
Any suggestions on a good place to find halters that would fit? My 32" mini is fine with a web halter or a rope halter. My 34" mini needs a rope halter.
I would like to start them both in real work this year, starting with in hand and lunging. Everywhere I've looked only sells nylon lunge cavessons. I've had issues with synthetics causing rubs/sores in the past, so I really want leather. Anyone know where I could get a leather lunge cavesson, leather surcingle and leather(or nylon) side reins?
