If you're feeding only alfalfa to your baby, you have to watch your Calcium to Phos ratio. An imbalance can cause a lot of issues. My yearling is on 1c of Triple Crown Lite (.355lb) and 1c of oats 1x day. The feeding directions on the bag say 1lb per 500lbs body weight for a mini or pony. He is...

She is 35.25" tall. It wont do me much good to measure width right now as she is bred and due to foal in July. LOL I'm in no hurry to buy a cart. I won't be driving her until after she foals anyways. But, if I come accross a deal now, I will buy. I will probably end up just ordering a new one...

Okie dokie! Might just end up ordering a new one.

I appreciate the help. I understand how important it is to be correctly fitted. My horse is 35.25" and is a stockier type. I posted here bcoz I have no idea about cart dimensions. I will pass and look for something else. Thanks for all the help! :-)

She said the shaft height is 26" when level, but no one was in it when she measured. And she said the shaft width is 24" at the narrowest point. Does any of this help?

What are you referring to when you say a seat cushion and paint are the least of my worries? Is there something else you're seeing that it will need, or are you just referring to making sure it will fit my horse?

My dad is SUPER handy and can build/fabricate pretty much anything. I thought maybe it would be a good place to start, but I know next to nothing about carts. That is why I came here and asked for opinions.

She said the wheels are 16. I was also wondering about price... if you guys thought this was a fair price?

^ I won't be showing and my mare doesn't seem to get too much hair. She will shed out OK for a pet =) My yearling... wow. The hair is.. INSANE lol I will def be clipping him. There's no way all of that hair is shedding off. It's unbelievable! But, I'll just clip him with a 10. No showing or...

I just want to drive around home. No showing, nothing serious. A friend offered me this cart for $125. The current shafts are brand new, made by a local Amish guy. They are 68" long right now. I was looking at having them cut to Mini size (50"?) and having the hardware put on by someone around...

^^This is exactly the kind of info I was looking for! Thanks so much you guys!! I'm looking forward to this summer!! I may even have the option to acquire another horse that is broke to drive. It would be very neat to have a team in the future! We shall see!

I was just curious b/c in the past I had a Shetland that shed out beautifully.

He is adorable!!! Love him!!

I am going to keep an eye on this thread. I won't be showing my mare, but I will be fitting her up for some driving this summer. She was a driving horse and was shown in her younger years. She has been a broodie for quite a few years now. She turned 17 this year. She's in great shape right now...

I'm curious (I know nothing about showing Minis).... why is it so important to clip Mini's for halter classes? Why don't people just let them shed/slick out normal? In the QH world we use UV lights and blankets to get them to start shedding in time for show season. Their color is so much...

Equifuse bathing system. Let me tell you what, it impressed me!! My g/f sells it. She came out last summer and did a demp on my pally paint mare. WOW I have never seen white get so... white!! The next day, dirst and poop stains (of course she laid in it over night) literally brushed right off...

I feel strongly about breeding exceptional horses to exceptional horses to better the breed. I do not support breeding mediocre horses. I know what breeding mediocre horses ends up being. I looked at horses for sale this summer. 100 horses in the pasture. Never received trimming, vaccinations...

You are talking to people who show at and have experience with breed shows. Not I, but some of the ppl here have world champion horses and years of breeding & showing experience, at the national & world level. They know what they are talking about. IMO, to argue with them is insane.

Just use a nail? Like... a nail that you would nail a board with? And regular sweing thread?

If you want to breed, why not buy a nice stallion with a breed show record? I know where there is a nice one for sale for a fair price =)
