I hear that! 😂 Agree with Marsha, you’ve done great work with Jeffrey!

Everything HersheyMint said! You have shared your incredibly full life with us via your posts, and it is very generous of you to take on the role of president and all that entails. Kudos to those who stepped up to help and also to Falcor for doing his best! Absolutely reach out for volunteers...

A barn full of fun! They have a lovely home!

Well congratulations and welcome to you both! What a doll! 🤩 Well worth the wait! What would you like to do with your little one?

Welcome from Minnesota! 😁 Many of us started with, or still have big horses, and both sizes are a lot of fun! If you prowl through the various threads, even older ones, there is much to read about and see what activities appeal to you! Have fun and ask questions anytime along with joining any...

Belated but sincere congratulations on your State Fair wins! That is outstanding!!! A win at the State Fair level is a big deal and I hope you celebrated! 🏆 🥇 💐

I don’t, but think their program is excellent and also still active.

I would absolutely have a conversation (phone/zoom/visit) with the trainer before sending your minis over and ask questions. It may be difficult for the trainer to recommend a cart before seeing and working with your horses and you, but probably could point out a few possibilities. Part will...

I’m not sure! Registries change and modify rules periodically, so depending on the mini’s registration papers and parentage, perhaps? Hopefully you hear from someone who actually knows! ;) Many miniature horse “families” have Shetlands in their past so it seems a reasonable possibility...

Welcome you all from Minnesota (originally from NW Florida.) Please feel free to jump in and join any conversation or start your own!

I loved Triple Crown Safe Starch and bought it for an older mini who had foundered. It is a terrific product but as you stated, expensive. Goldie did very well on it and as it is a complete feed needed no other feed. After about 6 months, however, I could no longer get it in my area even by...

Billy is such a sweetie 🥰 hopefully you can get expert feedback on Monday! In the meantime, it may help to confine him to a stall or small area you can bed down in shavings or straw, which will help give relief and limit movement. I’ve also used liniment or a liniment wash to help relax the...

It’s a very smart idea! 🧐 I’m just sorry this is necessary!

They look happy to be there and SO pretty and clean! ;) I admire clean! We’ve probably all heard the maxim “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” but for the minis it is sometimes just next to impossible! 😂 Cancer has impacted our family and sending prayers to all traveling the road to improvement...

In previous centuries, everyone was exposed to horses, of all sizes, because they were transportation. There was a broader understanding of how to behave around horses, what they needed and how to responsibly move through streets and cities. Today is so different though some areas come close...

Earlier this summer I lost my senior mini, Goldie, to age related issues and the preceding January our Gordon Setter, Nike, also to old age issues. We know it comes with the territory but these events can be a challenge. Between one thing and another, it seemed to be a good idea to adopt a...

That is a great idea! Love this! 🤣 What a bunch of characters! 😍

It sounds like you facilitated a family to make many great memories- from those days when nothing goes quite right and you want a goldfish instead of a pony to those moments where everything is golden. Nothing like horses. 😍 I agree with Standards Equine, it is absolutely ok to hang onto...

Ouch! 😳 Team work..love that Billy used his horse stare to motivate you and that Pepper practiced his CPR skills! 🤣

Welcome Whittle Hooves from Minnesota! Your minis are very pretty and put a smile on my face easy peasy. 😊
