Too many pony mills! Especially "Christmas Presents"

At what age should a mini be before you let weight appropriate children ride them? I have been seeing a lot of sale adds for minis that are "ready to ride" as young as 6 months with the average being 10 months. I got Yazhi at 10 months old and he was tiny, no muscle tone and very immature. He is...

This place is definitely a circus!

Playing around....

She (Lola) is the thoroughbreds (River) emotional support goat. If she is too far from him he winneys and she runs back to him. I have to lock her in with the chickens when I work or ride him otherwise she will follow everywhere. Oddly when she is with the chickens he is ok leaving her. She was...

Not sure? She was born about September 1st and we got her October 6th (she came with the thoroughbred). We're not even sure what kind of goat she is. My wife and I hate goats but she acts like a dog and follows me everywhere. Now we wouldn't have it any other way!

All the time! The 4 of them get along so well!

Sorry for the late hello! Was looking for others in Florida. I'm just over an hour south of you in Ridge Manor. Welcome to the best group i have found!

My Vet does their teeth also and she does a great job! She did our miniature donkey and our thoroughbred. Our miniature horse is too young so after he turns 3 this year he will be checked every quarterly visit as they all are. They get a float done every year and it is included in their wellness...

He is so tolerates the goat.

So a miniature horse, a thoroughbred and a goat walk into a bar.....

My wife still cringes when they play.

Its all fun and games until someone looses a chunk of coat!

Boys will be boys!

MINI

We miss the Stockyard Hotel! Stayed there many times but of all the places I have lived all over the world Florida is my fist choice!

We knew about the insurance since we had it on a lease horse but had no idea that our vet came as far north as we are from them (almost 60 miles). When we got our first mini, Yazhi he coliced on his second day with us. We called 5 local vets and 3 told us minis are not worth the time or money...

Also, Kelly had mentioned colic. Smartpak has a colic insurance plan that I think covers $10k of medical costs for colic and it is based on buying certain supplements for digestive health.

Our Wellness Plan is directly through our Vet. We have the option of paying for the year (about $400 something each) or interest free monthly. There is no issues with billing and no paying upfront and waiting for reimbursements. My invoice shows everything done with an itemized bill and then...

The plan is through my vet. And yes to me a horse should be a horse! They know how th take care of themselves. The vets in my area, South of Ocala Fl., at least the ones I would trust quoted $750+ for gelding my mini. I called a few vets in North Carolina and it was $150-200. If I had a pasture...
