I don’t remember Abby, but have you looked at the PortaGrazer Mini Hay Feeder? It isn’t cheap but if it works, would last many years!

Welcome and congratulations! Lots of fun and exciting times ahead for all of you! When you have a chance, tell us more about your herd and always feel free to join in or start a question or discussion!

I don’t think you will be disappointed. I thought about Jeffrey and Phillippe along with people and donkeys in general. Donkeys are unique and who doesn’t love their bray? 😂

I just finished the book, Running with Sherman, and really enjoyed it. It is full of humor, facts, and events. Reading it, I’d think about Maddie and how little I knew about donkeys when we got her. After 10 years, I just know slightly more than nothing. 😂 After reading this book, however, I...

Welcome! There is a lot of knowledge and even some fun goofiness on this site. ;) It can be intimidating to jump in, but please do whenever you are ready. As the above members stated, we are a friendly group and enjoy meeting new horse lovers. 😁 What draws you to these smaller equines...

Am I remembering correctly, TracyQH that your mini mare is a recent addition to your farm? If you decide to breed her, I don’t think you could go wrong spending part of a year working with her and getting a really good idea of her talents and personality. That way you would have a good idea of...

Congratulations! Enjoyed reading what you enjoyed and the plans for the future. Morgans are a wonderful breed aren’t they? I haven’t seen one in years but growing up in the Florida panhandle they weren’t uncommon. Thirty minis in one trailer? 🤯 It sounds fabulous and definitely something I...

A huge difference! How is Billy feeling?

Welcome! Thank you for sharing your story! You have a world of experiences, and little equines will add a whole new dimension to your life! They are so much fun whether you drive, hike, or share a cup of coffee with them, endless variety! 😁 A Shetland is a great breed and extremely versatile...

That is darling! Billy will be a bigger hit than ever, if that’s even possible! 🤩

Congratulations both of you Albertians ;)! That is awesome! Hope your drive was easy!

They are cute but I’m speaking from a farm that doesn’t have any here. I hope your freed pack rat stays away! Your idea of placing water by the mountain sounds interesting and logical! I wonder if your area is having an irruption of pack rats? Five years ago, our area had an irruption of mice...

I hope all goes well with your newly opened bag. It is expensive and frustrating when our feed is compromised. In September, I had to throw out 50# of alfalfa pellets because they were full of moths. ☹️

Just reserved a nonfiction book, titled Running with Sherman, by Christopher McDougall. My wait time is two weeks but it sounds interesting and uplifting. I like uplifting! 😁 It is a modern story about a family that adopted a rescue donkey, Sherman, and eventually they ran a very tough human...

Welcome Kaitlyn from Minnesota! 😊 Lots of fun things going on at your farm and the minis are beautiful! There is a lot of information in the different threads to browse through and please feel free to start new questions or respond to any already posted. Thank you for your photos!

I think it is mostly his personality. When we think of friends and family, we can probably point to a few extroverts and a few more introverted and one isn’t necessarily more creative or intelligent than another. Good questions and it will be interesting to read how others answer!

You will have a few now, when you can check out the Crockpot Recipe thread! 😁

This good idea came up on having a crockpot recipe thread (from the thread ‘Barn Time’), there by giving us more barn time and a hot meal during these upcoming colder months. 😁 There are so many internet sites available with recipes of all sorts, but it is great to get some from the horse’s...

Standards Equine we are in the north central area of Minnesota out in the country about 6 hours due south of Winnepeg. 😊 It has been very dry here with no rain, freeze, or snow and today will be close to 80 degrees. We did have high sustained winds the other day which sent many of the Fall...

I’m sorry Noah, that’s a lot to deal with all at once. Are you working with a new vet now? I’ve been learning about Cushings myself over the past two months as a mini we recently gave a home in August was diagnosed PPID positive. He is on daily medication and does seem a bit more energized but...
