Could you try spreading his food out in a larger tub so he has to be more deliberate picking it up and can’t grab huge mouthfuls? We had a dog who inhaled her kibble, so to stop her we scattered it on the floor. You wouldn’t want to feed him pellets on the ground because he might eat dirt or...

Thanks, Marsha. 😁

They’re so cute! ❤️

It’s a shame that happened to your baby. 😢

Ours do the same thing all the time. Theo, the black colt is an inch or two smaller than Ziggy, the pinto, so he’s stretching to reach and gets dragged along for his efforts. It’s pretty funny.

When should they be clipped? We had temps in the 80’s last week and both horses and goats seemed hot. They’re shedding like crazy, but the night time temps this week are back down in the high 30’s, low 40’s with days high 50’s to mid 60’s. I groom our 5 poodles, but I can’t imagine doing them...

Thank you for sharing your pictures, too. Your boys look like they really have fun together. I was surprised at how hard they play as well. I’m used to seeing our dogs knock each other down, but had never seen horses play as hard. Oh, to have that energy level! 😁

Wow, yours are pretty closely matched. They ARE a lot of fun to watch, aren’t they? Our boys were born at the same farm within a couple of days of each other. They might be cousins, but I’d have to look at their papers. I wanted to make sure they were going to be ok together. They sure seem to...

Danny looks like my grand cat, Jack. ❤️

I think playing = happy, which is why we have everything in 2’s. The multiplier went wacko last year when we got 4 poodles (2, then 2 more 4 months later😳) but last year wasn’t a normal year. As long as it isn’t real aggression, it’s all good.

I’d love to have acreage, but as it stands, we have an acre and a half with front yard, back yard and lower yard all separately fenced with post and rail with chain link sandwiched in. We have 2 minis, 2 Nigerian dwarf goats and 8 hens in the lower yard, about a 1/2 acre. In the front yard, we...

They do chase the goats, but generally only when the goats are fighting. If the horses catch them butting heads, they get in between. It’s pretty amazing, really. We never managed to get them wethered, so they’re awful to each other at times. The vet is scheduling farm calls in May, so hopefully...

That’s a relief. We have no mares close by. After seeing all the cute foals being born, I’d love to keep the pinto as a stallion...his bloodlines are good. I’d have to get a mare...His parents are both black and white tobiano pintos, double registered, but I have no business raising any foals...

Our mini colts are a little over 10 months old now. They spend a lot of time playing and chasing each other around. Play gets pretty rough sometimes, with each one biting and kicking the other. It doesn’t seem like serious fighting because the next thing you know, they’re curled up in the hay...

What a cute baby!!😍😍😍 Congratulations!!!

Snickers IS getting huge. All these pregnant mare pics make me wish we had a mare...I’m up half the night anyway. 🤣

Me, too. I don’t post much, but lately, I’ve been checking the thread every day.

I had to place a Chewy order, so got 6 weeks of Equispot for them. I’ll get the next order onto my autoship.

Thanks, everyone! We don’t have any tall grass, but the deer walk right along the fence line, so they could easily get on the fence, then onto the horses. We have 8 hens that free range inside the pasture and the paddock so I’m sure they’ll help some. I’ll look into the Equispot.

They are a little bit cute, aren’t they? I’m completely smitten.
