I love this topic, some people have some very interesting stories to go along with their names! The Jersey Devil/Leeds family name- Wow!!! How cool!!! I've always wanted some neat family lore/history like that. I did Eohippus for two reasons. First, I love the name and little prehistoric beast...

I would get a heat lamp and put it in a corner of the cage. We did that for our Amazon and because it was in a corner he had the ability to control his heat; he could move closer/sit directly under the lamp if needed or move to the cool side of the cage (opposite corner) and cool down. Just make...

I love IGs! And blue is my favorite color for them, lol! I wanted one when I was searching for my lap dog but I wanted a little girl so bad, but none were to be found in the rescues so I adopted a little schipperke girl instead. But now that I have my little girl lap dog a little boy IG surely...

Hahaha! That was in our paper too. My Grandma cut it out for us. I could see Oso doing just that though, if you let him! Wingnut - I'm ALWAYS asked if our little stud goes in the house. "Does he go in the house?" and "Can you ride him?" are the top two questions I'm asked. Though I have brought...

Our smallest mini is our stallion, measuring in at 25.75. You can see him here with our mare who is 27.5" but standing on a hill/sidewalk so she looks taller and our 33" gelding.

This was really helpful when deciding on my farm name/prefix as I was able to make sure there wasn't a prefix too similar to what I wanted mine to be so in the ring it wouldn't be confused. And although its not registering a farm name, I've seen it done where the miniature is registered to the...

:HappyBounceYay!! My prize came in today. I've been wanting this exact thing too , so its absolutely perfect!!! Its so adorable and cute: Excuse the weird clip. I want to keep as much as his winter hair on him as I can but if I don't do what I did then its impossible for any of his tack to...

Congratulations to every one who won!! As pictures were being posted I was looking at them wondering how on earth the judges were going to judge them! I'm glad I didn't have to. WRS - your first picture looked like a christmas card you would buy in a store! Its so cute with its country western...

That one is key! I have three boys and one little girl. Two of the boys are geldings and the other is a stallion, so often we play "musical herd" for turn out situations. But no matter what trio is together, making sure there is feed in more piles than there is horses is key. My boss gelding...

If you really get into showing him, remind your parents you can do more with him as a gelding. And if you're doing more with him you'll be happier, have better grades, and stay out of trouble. Then bring it up with your Dad that if you're busy with your gelding your gelding you'll keep away from...

Try looking up local trainers. Again, many big horse concepts transfer over to minis and there might be a full size horse trainer who trains how to drive. Just make sure you check out the trainer, horses, and facility. Even if you aren't keeping your horse there the condition of the horses and...

I use leg wraps when first training a horse how to drive and then when working on new things. Just make sure you learn how to correctly use them or they can cause more harm than good! Also, don't forget a lounge whip for when you're exercising him. As far as the sweats/wraps go... I personally...

Awww Buddy looks like the kind of gelding I would want to add to my program (showing, pet, therapy). He would make a perfect youth gelding, imo. Plus he's got a great build and I'd love to see him as a performance horse of some kind. If I had the room, I'd take him! Like every one else said, he...

I second that. My mustang mare has wonderful legs and feet (which really is the only beautiful thing she's got going for her... But I love her all the same!) and she's never needed shoes nor has she ever needed even a trim. Sounds crazy, I know, but when ever we have our farrier out here he...

awww! That is such a cute idea with the cart, I wish I had thought of it!! I can only imagine how excited some of the people must have been to see him

Decided to go with a more classical/Victorian/old time look. My mom put on the lovely outfit (I'm jealous of her hat) and posed for me for that "complete" look! And Avalon was the lucky volunteer (...and only capable!) who got to pull the buggy. Just one to kind of set the mood and theme of...

Awww! I love Saber's adventures and outings. He's so darn cute!

Haha! I love how when they think you're not looking suddenly its not a big deal any more. Our mare is like that that, she throws the biggest fits over some of the silliest things, because they are simply new to her (and she does not have high confidence yet). She'll shake her head, half rear...

Last weekend a local rescue (Tranquility Trail) hosted a Holiday Pet Festival at West World Of Scottsdale (the local big horse show grounds). There were all sort of vendor booths, many rescues with animals there up for adoption, a vet available for questions, shots/microchipping, art booths, pet...

Haha good! Are you going to the Touch of Class show in March? Are you bringing him? I'd love to see him in person
