Hi everyone my name is Cindie I am in Rawdon,Quebec Canada and on the search for my first mini.I had 4 horses 10 years age for 12 years then between having 2 kids breeding dogs(showing and do hunting courses with them) and full time jobs my husband and I let the horses go as it was to much.Now my girls are growing up 11 and 13 I work from home and breed French bulldogs no more shows or hunt test with my German shorthairs(only 1 retired girl left) and have the time for horses again.I have a big barn 12x16 that I am in the middle of fixing up .I don't want big horses again I want 1 mini to spoil.My husband on the other hand would like 2 either a mare and her foal or a mare who is due in 2013.I wanted one to spoil but will she or he be lonely?I have no plans on showing etc,.Maybe just get a little cart for her to pull around .Maybe stick my girls and are French bulldogs on there lol..I have so many question so anyone willing to help that would be great.
So
How big of a stall?
cement floor or not?
Where is the best price to buy horse mats?
1 or 2 minis( I don't want her to be lonely but I also want her to bond with me)?
That it for now I am going to visit 2 farms on Saturday 2.5 hours from me 1 has 2 mares due in 2013 and a 1 year old (yearling in horse terms I think)lol..and the other has 2 colts and 1 fille ready in September any specific questions I should ask or things I should look for?
