Hi Folks...
I am not new to the farm, but am new to minis.
I am purchasing a couple (1yr to be gelded, 12yr proven mare due to foal this spring), mostly for my granddaughters, though I am a bit silly over them myself, haha.
We have had horses in the past, cattle, and mini donkeys..honestly the mini mare foaling scares me a little. She (reportedly) has never had problems foaling. The gentleman I am purchasing from is very elderly(90s), and not really able to care for his stock. I won't bring them home without a negative Coggins, and they will need shots and farrier work. No problems there, we have a great mini farrier, and vet.
Sooo..am I headed for disaster? Is fescue hay and pasture really a cause for alarm?
Thanks for your help,
Jean A
Am I crazy???
