My yearling mini filly is fine with my older TWH gelding. I have an Appendix filly going to a new home real soon so I'm not worried about her. BUT, I have a Clyde colt who I do not think is going to be co-habitable with the mini. The limited times they've been together all he does is chase...

I love that Ranger/Sassy buckskin colt

Thanks It really starts to wear you down after awhile and makes you start doubting yourself. I hate that. Those so called 'pros' weren't born knowing everything there is to know about horses. I look forward to learning new things from horses and relish each experience.

I recently got a Clydesdale colt (19 months old). He has just started showing some mild stallion behavior and I have an appointment scheduled for this Monday morning for him to be gelded. I've only had horses for about four years. I have a been-there-done-that, older TWH gelding that I ride...

So, would someone mind posting a picture of the bottom of a healthy, 8-month old hoof? Thanks

I just got an 8 month old filly last week (she's maybe 30", about 110 lbs). I have big horses and haven't seen mini feet in a while, plus I haven't seen a mini's feet this young. They look very hollow on the inside. Looks like hoof wall, no sole, and a very tiny recessed frog. Is that how...

Any update for Florida?

My little colt will be 2 yrs on 4/01/2005, and he measures about 36-37 inches already. His halter is getting very snug. When I look at tack stores they have one size halter for the little ones called "miniature" horse size. A=34" and under B=34" up to 38" (right?) So what is the size...

Very nice! When I think about how life could have ended for Buttercup at 'that place' it makes my heart ache. Then, I think about how many people walked right by her and ignored her in that condition. I'm so glad she was able to touch the lives of so many people and inspire people to write...

Robin, Thank you for letting me know about Buttercup's passing. It has made me so sad even though I knew she was not well. I keep trying to think of all the positive things that have come from this so I can overcome my heavy heart. You (and everyone else with CMHR, Florida Miniature Horse...

I am so worried about her sickness coming back, but how wonderful it is they are doing everything possible to get to the root of the problem. Thank God for so many caring people stepping up to help her. A Big Thanks to all who are helping Buttercup! AND A Big Thanks to the Florida Miniature...

Oh what a relief to see a picture of my dear, sweet, little Buttercup! She looks just like a little Angel to me. We can't change the fact that she has some serious health conditions. The most important thing is that she is with people who love and care for her. She deserves the very best...

My uncle asked if I knew anyone w/ mini donkeys. I am the first one to jump in any conversation concerning horses (big or little), but I don't know anything about mini donkeys. I wish I could've given him some more info. I think he wants to get a couple for pets.

Thanks, I didn't know she was OOT. I found the update from 6/30 (don't know how I missed it). I am so anxious to hear about her it is hard to be patient. We all miss her. My kids say a prayer for her every night and ask when she's coming back. It would have been selfish to keep her. She is...

Haven't heard any updates on Buttercup? Is she OK? Please let me know. I am afraid something has happened to her and that is why no update has been posted. . .

Please refer to post on mini forum. Thanks. I need everyones opinion.

Runamuk, were yours all disc problems? I am afraid to find out if I damaged any of mine. They only told me that I broke the bone (vertebrae - L4). Disc trouble is probably just a short trip down the road for me. . .

Hi Lewella, Yes, it was a compression fracture (L4) (12/23/03). I rode my Tennessee Walker yesterday and it has been a while since I have been on her. She started off OK, but then went into a little bucking act. I don't know what that was all about since she's never done that before. I...

I have a Tennessee Walking Horse mare that I ride. Wish I had more time to ride, but also have a back injury from December that is still healing. When I do ride her I keep her at a walk to save my back. (broken L4 vertebrae healing) I have a pony 11.2hh Appaloosa. (I let a little girl come...
