Hi all!
Haven't posted much but I sign on and read almost everyday; learning so much-I really love this forum!
I have a 6 mo. old colt that I plan to geld this winter if he's ready. I purchased him as a pet and hopefully will train him to pull a cart just for fun. His name is D'Armond's Silver Snow Storm, aka Rebel, a name he has earned, lol! He is a son of Lucky Four Skippa Snow Storm by Wittmaacks Little Skipper and out of D'Armond's GG'S Swiss Miss, a daughter of McRae's Mr. GG. He's got one blue eye, kinda of a smutty/silver palomino color and is just a doll! I'll post a picture as soon as I get my hands on a digital camera.
I've owned big horses most of my life but now have just the one mini. He is my first mini and my first baby to raise!
He has really bonded to us but I worry about my Rebel being lonely. We have a pot-bellied pig and 6 hens as companions for him and I know it'll never really take the place of his need to be a part of a herd but so far it seems to be working out ok. I've had him home for 3 mos. My place is set up for just one for now. I'm hoping in the near future I'll be able to fence off more of my yard (1.5 acres) and get another one.
Just curious if any of you own just one mini?
What other animals would make a good companion?
Thanks!

P.S. Now I know why they're compared to Lay's potato chips
