    Free Equine Nutrition Course

    Interesting, What is the coarse number? I'm going to check with my school to see if this is an acredited class that will transfer sense I need it to finish my Bacholers next year.

    Really thinking about selling them all

    I'm so sorry to hear that Keep your chin up, I think we have all been there and it usually only happens to the one you are banking on. This is just part of the business of breeding horses. I wouldn’t throw in the towel just because of this. There could have been many factors related to...

    Introducing horses

    I have done this several times. When two unfamiliar horses move into a new place at the same time they tend to buddy up almost immediately. I would say, try to introduce them their new home at the same time so the herd up together. I've also done with with a large horse and mini together when I...

    To anyone looking to buy minis today

    I’m glad someone posted this! I get insulted on almost a daily bases to the point that I put my partner in charge of selling the horses because he won’t be nice to someone trying to snowball down on price. Like many have said in many other posts. My babies are handled every day, have the...

    Roached Mane and Bobbed Tail-EEEEKKK!

    If a high protein diet increases hair and nail growth in people then I don't see how it would be much different in horses. The metabolic process of breaking down protein to be used in the body actually utilizes energy so it shouldn’t affect any more weight gain. Sound like Marty might have...

    What color is our new filly?

    Black dun is a grulla. (a black horse with one or two copies of dun factor)

    What color is our new filly?

    Again the difference is that most large horse don't have the silver gene. All the same color combos of miniatures happen in most large horses just without the silver gene thrown in the mix. There is however several breeds of large horses that do have the silver gene like, Rocky Mountains...

    What color is our new filly?

    I do agree... I think we are definitely looking at a horse with the cream gene but I'm still thinking that Dunskin is a good possibility as well. You could probably just clip above the back of her knee to see if there is leg barring sense it is getting colder. Again, leg barring doesn't need to...

    What color is our new filly?

    This is what makes Dun Factor so fascinating to me. It's really easy to mistake for other colors because you also have the fact that these babies with dorsal strips might just be counter shading which may or may not shed off and never be seen again. Your filly looks like several dunskins and...

    Conformation Critique Please

    Like a few others mentioned, I don't feel like these pictures do him full justice. Things that people are seeing might be the fact that he isn’t set up right. So I would have to say that we don’t have the proper pictures to make many clams. I think he has the potential to be a very nice boy...

    Does My Mini Look Like She Could Be Show Quality?

    I'm not an expert but I don't think there is enough pictures (front, back, body clipped) to really tell if she is halter quality. Her legs seem straight in the picture on right. IMO, any young horse like this has potential to be a good driving or jumping horse.

    I don't think I'll be breeding next year

    It’s just so sad because I have invested so much time and money into quality animals, plus all my horses are UTD on everything including papers. My foals get daily attention by me, my partner, and visiting children but people have totally lost interest in it. It’s a good thing that I’ve decided...

    I don't think I'll be breeding next year

    I wish I would have decided this for this year but it’s too late for that. I’ll be expecting 3-4 foals for 2013. I keep hoping that the market will come back but I don’t have to breed to enjoy my minis so 2013 will most likely be my last foal crop until we see a change in the market. I know...

    Serious Inquiries only... Do you feel this statement off putting?

    I posted an ad today with this phase in it. Honestly I don’t want much for the horse, just a good home but I have been insulted and my time has been wasted time after time because the horse doesn’t drive. If were to say free horse, that would change everything but I can’t lose that much off the...

    A question for breeders!

    Wow!! you can't even see any pony in her! I think Lewella is probally right. You might want to go a little smaller just to be sure. Breeding is funny though cuz you never know what your going to get. Do you know what Gingers AQHA parents hight was? that may have a lot to do with the bigger foals.

    A question for breeders!

    I think that the cross of her first three foals is my favorite cross 3/4 AQHA 1/4 pony. I have never seen it done the other way. It would make for a interesting cross. May you should try to found a foundation quarter horse. They are much much smaller then todays well known quarter horses.
