I Monday we had some very high winds which in the mid afternoon broke my barn door eye hook and my door was banging with force. When I went out to fix it I noticed my little 28" geldings side of his face was swollen about the size of a baseball, and I immediately thought,Oh No, the barn door...

I am looking at buying a harness for my mini. The lady said it would fit up to 40". My mini is 31", would this fit or would it be to big. I have been looking for a size chart for what the measurements are for an A sized harness, but cannot find one. Does anyone have this information? And do you...

I have a three year old gelding, I had his teeth floated last Monday, the next day I was out in the pasture and it had just snowed, and I noticed a spot in the snow that was pink, like a can of cherry 7-up had been dumped. I went and cleaned out the stall and did not see this color in the wet...

Has anyone tried the new Likit brand horse toys? If you have, do you like them? I purchased 2 of them, one for each of our minis. The temperature was below zero here, and they were staying in their stalls all day, they had the option to go outside, but wind chill was nasty. So I thought they...

Hi, I was looking at a filly at our local fair that is for sale and the sire was listed as 4 G's Moonshine, the number written below the name is WC20844A-P. Was wondering how I can find the height on this sire. The mare was 31", and it said this little filly was 15", weighed 20 lbs. at birth...

I would like some feedback on what you think is going on with my 2 year old gelding. This morning went out to feed and after eating all his feed, I opened the door to let him out and he kinda stumbled, he continued out as usual I did stop and look him over but thought maybe he had layed on his...

Just wanted to take a moment to update on my question that I posted last week on my new mini's thick, green foul-smelling nasal discharge. Vet came out and said it was a sinus infection, put him on antibiotics, and everything seems to be going good. He's back on his feed and nasal discharge and...

No, like a kid slurping his food around in his mouth to annoy his mom! I don't know what strangles is. Could someone give me a desciption? Thank you for your responses, I noticed tonight at feeding time, a little of the food fell out of his mouth when he was eating. So maybe it is his teeth.

My new little mini, has a green, FOUL-smelling discharge coming from the one side of his nose, called the vet and he is coming on Monday, but he said it sounded like a sinus infection. He is coming of 2 next month and he don't think it would be his teeth. But I have noticed he is a slow eater...

Sorry forgot that, he will be 2 in April, I also give free hay, which is mostly grass hay. Purina recomended Mare and Maintannce for my other mini, who will be 4 in April, because he was getting a little over weight, they are the ones who figured out 1/4 cup of feed twice daily. Now I'm afraid I...

Thanks to all who responded! Can you recommend a horse food that would be better than Mare and Maintance? I see that Strategy was mentioned is that better? I have been to various feed stores, they all tell me something different. Went to a Purina seminar, that's who recommended Mare and...

I just brought home my new mini yesterday! :aktion033: He was gelded last Monday. He looks a little thin, was off his food for a couple of days I was told, but is eating fine now. I need to put some weight back on him. I feed my other mini 1/4 cup of Purina Mare and Maintance, twice a day, plus...

Thank you both for the help!!!!! I will start tomorrow. : : :

I read in the forum this past week about the feeding your mini black sunflower seeds [bOSS]. I went to my feed store to buy some for my mini and they thought I was crazy, said they never heard of feeding it to horses, that I better check to see if this is the right stuff. I did by a bag, but it...

I just purchased my second mini for my daughter for 4-H! :aktion033: We are sooo exited! But with the expense of getting two minis, 5 dogs vaccinateed, the cost is so high and really almost doubled! All the animals are used in 4-H, so they DO need their shots. Two years ago 4-H offered a...

: I am looking at purchasing a mini mare, she was foaled in 4-04, she is currently 28", and the owner says she has not grown in the past 7 months and that she will not get any taller. I am concerned that she might not be done growing and did not want one over 28". What is your feedback on...

We have a 3yr.old mini who is 31". We purchased him in Dec. 2004 as a gelding. But after displaying alot of stallion traits, our vet tested him and low and behold we have a double cryptoid stallion!!!! We purchased him for my daughter to show in 4-H, so we definitly could not leave him as a...
