    How do I register a mini? Help!

    Some questions back at you, I'm afraid. 1. Are her parents registered? Both need to be registered with the SAME registry. 2. Are YOU a member of AMHR/ASPC? If not, you would be required to join when sending in the forms. All the forms can printed off the website. Yes, you will need the...

    Toxic trees

    In addition to all the trees mentioned above, don't forget the flowering shrubs we all like to have in our landscape.... ie, Azaliaes and Rhododendrons.

    What do you feed you're minis?

    For our younger ponies who don't need grain, we feed a locally grown grass hay and then give them a locally manufactured vitamin/mineral supplement that includes selenium. (Our region's soil is very low in selenium, so it's important to supplement. Other areas are very high with it and should...

    Looking for Photos for Pedigree

    Agree with Elizabeth. What can be confusing is when silver is on bay, the horse can look like a lovely dark chestnut with a light mane and tail. Their points, which on a bay would be black, but on a silver bay can be very light gray or smudged looking, so some folks may not notice them.

    Keeping pony safe from Coyotes

    With just a pony and a goat, you'd still need to bring them close in to your house or barn OR bring them totally inside your barn/shelter. If just a shelter, it should be close to your house. Coyotes really do try to avoid human contact. On top of everything, I'd still have a radio playing and...

    Keeping pony safe from Coyotes

    If she's not with other animals, just alone, I'd pull her in at night. Agree with candycar. We have two coyote dens in our area that I know of and in all the years we've been here (almost 20) we only had one situation with them and she was low girl on the totem pole. We also have llamas in our...

    Donkeys, are Not Dogs

    If mini donkeys are like mini horses (I've only had 3 donks over the years).....I've always compared them to CATS. They either stick their noses up in the air, snort, and walk or trot away.... OR....they are all over you demanding attention. Oh, and it tends to be when you are doing a...

    Floor covering?

    Rubber mats with a layer of gravel and sand underneath that's been smoothed and leveled before the mats are put down.

    Silver Dapple and Dapple grey are often interchangeable. Same color.

    Wormer for minis

    The plain old cattle version is just pure ivermectin..... nothing else, so it's the same as the horse ivermectin, just with a different label. 1cc per 100 lbs.

    Wormer for minis

    Never used the sheep drench. We always have bought the plain cattle version.......NOT the type that has additives in it.

    Wormer for minis

    All Wormers are basically a poison, as you know. Different types are more intense or potent than others. Quest's active ingredient is Moxidectin and is extremely powerful. It goes into a horse's fatty tissue. The problem is that minis and ponies have less fatty tissue than full sized horses...

    Happy Thanksgiving to Those Who Celebrate :-)

    We ACCIDENTALLY followed (well, Half anyway) our Queen/Governor's ruling and only had 6 of us gathered. Where we sort of broke her declaration was that 3 of the 6 were actually friends, not family......BUT they've come visiting at least twice a month all year! (The youngest is 6 and getting...

    Wormer for minis

    One thing I forgot to add that's VERY IMPORTANT. And I'm sure others will agree............. ******** NEVER GIVE THE WORMER - QUEST - TO MINIATURE HORSES/DONKEYS OR PONIES. **********

    Wormer for minis

    Taz and I do things very much the same. We use liquid ivermectin too. Some horses are okay with a syringe of liquid being squirted into their mouths, but I always give them a handful of grain immediately after to help get rid of the nasty taste. For the ones who bolt over the syringe, we put...

    Body Language

    Agree with Pitter Patter. Resting their head on your shoulder is what I call a "Horsey Hug".
