Joanna, what you do is totally YOUR decision. I just wanted to say you sound like a wonderful horse owner and your horses are so very very lucky!

Thanks for posting the date and info, Minimor.

I have never yet known of a mini that was not Shetland in its background. Thirty years ago when I got my first minis, I began to research and find out how when the market fell out of the Shetlands, they first called the real small ones...midget Shetlands, and then started calling the small...

I looked him up in both AMHA and AMHR. AMHA did not list any foals but these were listed in AMHR. I do not know how to look up show records. 321452T HAZEL HILL FARM JAZZY, FOALED: 04/26/2012 318897A HAZEL HILL FARM MAGIC PENNY 33.00, FOALED: 04/24/2012 315384T HAZEL HILL FARM WINSTON, FOALED...

Yes on both accounts.

Oh okay Thanks!

That is interesting, Jody. I did have inspectors also check bites and testicles and legs. But maybe it was not required, they just chose to do it. Anyway I always appreciate your input. Thank you.

That is great if geldings are $200! And yes I have also heard 2017.

Unless they had changed it in recent years, it was $500 for a gelding way back. I am not sure if they ever lowered it for geldings.

I am thrilled. Over my 28 years in having minis I have hardshipped in two stallions and at least 6 mares and might use it again! I have hoped and hoped they would open it back up!

I have hauled lots of different ways but this was the tiniest vehicle I took this little one in And it was just about 20 miles

Definitely a dwarf. And all we can really do is educate educate educate. I have explained about dwarfism to many many people over the years and some get it and some do not. But I commend all of you who are trying. Keep up the good work.

This is a question for any of you who have owned mature stallions who have developed very thick necks as they matured, and then had them gelded. After they have been gelded, have you noticed if the neck has gone back to not being so thick? Or is that thick stallion neck something they keep the...

John, I sure hope you get some donated and if I ever had another one I'd donate it for sure to you. However it is doubtful since I have had my entire herd tested. As always I will be very interested in your research as it continues. And I am sooo glad for the test! Thank you so much! Susan O.

Thanks Margo. And Dragons Wish Farm, I think if you wrote to Dr. Graves who is head of the lab, she probably would answer some of your questions. Her email is on the Gluck site. A few weeks ago they discontinued temporarily the D3 test because they had yet to have any of the samples submitted...

It has been over 7 months since this test came out. I just thought I'd ask how many of you decided to take advantage of it and test your horses. I know I was so excited to have this tool and had waited for it for years and years. But after all these months it seems to me kind of like the...

Once when I asked them to test one of mine for another test after a few months they still had it. I emailed them to find out first. Susan O.

I do not garden in our super short growing season and on my tiny two acres most of it is devoted to the horses. We can have snow on the ground often for 8 months or so out of the year. The horses even get my acre the house is on to mow for me in the summer. It is well worth my money for them...

I clean my stalls and runs once a day in the morning and also my smaller pens, and put it in a dumpster which has been well worth the cost of them dumping it every two weeks. I only have two acres and over 20 minis so I am fairly obsessive compulsive about cleaning EVERY day! Susan O...

Just thought I'd resurrect this topic now that it has been exactly three months (It was April 10, 2014) since the University of Kentucky started testing minis for recessive dwarfism mutations and see if many people have had their horses tested, or have any input they'd like to share at this...
