    Rescue or breed?

    I don't have a mare...but, if I did I would be very unlikely to breed...just too much stress/worry 😄 (it's pretty unlikely I would have a horse of breeding quality anyway). As for rescue...I consider a rescue taking on a horse that is in a life-threatening situation being severely...

    Walking/Hiking with our minis and ponies - Mile Tracker!

    MaryFlora, I'm so sorry to hear about your husband...I'm happy he's he's going to be ok...I hope he has a quick recovery. The first week I missed posting we had 3 days of rain, so only got two days of .5 mile. Since then, we've got three .5 mile days, missed a couple of days, and the rest just...

    What is causing Diarrhea?

    Thank you so much for the link to that article! I kind of had a simple understanding, but that article got into the details and really spelled it out. I haven't had any real problems with diarrhea (luckily), but, obviously the way they are fed affects everything related to their health and their...

    Shetland illness

    I am so sorry for your loss.

    Age estimate

    I'm so sorry for the loss of your foal. 15-30 is a huge age range...and 15 isn't exactly "old" for a mini which usually have a longer life span than full size horses. Haven't any of the vets given an opinion on her age? They should be able to tell if she's around 15....or even if she's over 20...

    Thank you

    Congratulations 🥰🐴

    Age estimate

    Kazoo's sale ad listed his age at 7 yrs. I didn't think to ask how she knew/determined his age.... A few days ago I caught him yawning....looks to me like he's more like 11 - 12 yrs. I don't really care how old he is...just nice to know. Opinions 😁? (He got his old halter off...no doubt with...

    Downsizing

    The only one I am sure you are keeping is Thunder....other than that I can't even guess... I'm sorry you're having to downsize...It must have been so hard to decide who to rehome 😟

    Walking/Hiking with our minis and ponies - Mile Tracker!

    I pulled a back muscle Thursday...so didn't take Prince for a walk ( but the weather was considerably cooler which they seemed to like and Prince and Kazoo spent quite a bit of time chasing each other around) Fri. walked him around the property because my back still hurt...I was going to take...

    Salt?

    I know! It's ridiculous....but, that's the going rate around here apparently. I couldn't believe it myself....and I got the last one on the shelf! After I bought it (I'm not gonna lie...it hurt to pay that much for SALT)! I thought I should have bought it from Amazon...it would have to be...

    Salt?

    They probably did mean 4 lb. I just paid $15.00 for a 7 lb. salt/mineral block 😳😡 (It wasn't that long ago I could get them for $5 - $7).

    Am I Crazy To Have Such Young Horses at My Age?

    I'm hoping to get Prince driving some day....I'm going so slow about it I'll be even older then 😆!!

    Anyone hardship AMHA lately?

    This might not quite be on topic, but there's something I've wondered about for a while....many decades ago I vaguely remember there was a Section C for miniature horses that had a registered sire and dam but matured over the height limit. I haven't seen that mentioned for quite some time so I...

    Walking/Hiking with our minis and ponies - Mile Tracker!

    Wed. 10/26. Worked in the round pen, then walked around the property (about.25 mile) working on desensitizing him to me tripping and falling (recently found out that really freaked him out...never even thought about that before) Thurs. 10/27 .7 mile Fri. 10/38 Same as Wed.

    Am I Crazy To Have Such Young Horses at My Age?

    I'm 60....when I started looking for a mini/pony last year I was looking for an animal around 12 - 15 yrs. old....I ended up getting Prince, who was around 7 yrs. old (for some reason it's really rare to find older minis or ponies around here). Then ended up getting Kazoo, a mini mule, was told...

    Possible pistachio ingestion

    Just to clarify...I said "secure" the door, like a latch on the inside or something that non employees wouldn't know about....I didn't mean put a lock on it. I realize that would be dangerous....I guess I should have made that clear :oops:..apologies!
