I'm not sure how to even set the thing up! haha. I'm new to driving doubles so not sure about the unicorn setup. Here are pics of what I have. There is a bridle too but I haven't sorted through the bridles yet. I also have a single shaft set up that I think is for my Glinkowski cart....this...

That's exactly what my vet said today. He said alfalfa should never be more than 40% of diet for a mini...even less is better. He gave me the okay to feed a few cups of alfalfa pellets along with the senior feed as my little guy doesn't seem to like the senior feed and does like...

I believe that is the one he mentioned. He said he's used it in conjunction with pergolide when the horse can't tolerate a higher dose of the pergolide but has had limited success with it alone.

Driving essentials looked up the order and said that the driving shaft was built specifically for my cart and I should keep that with the cart as it probably won't work with a different kind of cart. They are getting me more information on the harness. I took some pictures but am not on the...

thank you! such a widespread group! I love it!

thanks! I have relatives from Michigan! I've only been there once. :-)

I've never heard of the triple crown timothy balance cubes. I'll have to see if our feed store carries them. I don't mind soaking at all. I was looking at NSC levels and the triple crown complete senior is 11.7 compared to alfalfa pellets which are only 9%. I'm getting so confused b/c I've...

I just contacted Driving Essentials. :-). Where are you? I'm in California and shipping the harness would be easy...the shaft set up, not so much! lol. I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow. It's all in brand new condition. We have a local driving club I can ask as well but not many...

Hi! the lady I bought my minis from, gave me a never used set up (complete harness and shaft assembly to drive a third mini in triangular formation in front of a team of two.) I have no desire to drive a trio and would like to sell these items. All came from Driving Essentials and are of very...

Right? It's so frustrating at times. I have a 30 yr old with no issues who acts like an 8 yr old and my 20 yr old has all sorts of issues. sigh...doing my best. Vet is coming back again tomorrow to take more blood to see if the myopathy is progressive.

I added my old guy's photo to my avatar....I'll try to attach a few more of all of them! :-). My 30 yr old is the one in the single photo. The three in the driving picture are my new guys...I've had them just a few weeks.

Maybe...I don't believe we have anyone who specializes in mini teeth around here. He has had a dental and been checked annually. My vet was pleased with this teeth but he has a differently shaped jaw which may case the problem structurally. According to his prior owner, this has been an issue...

Any ideas about what to do about Cushings when you can't give prescend? Due to my own health concerns, my vet and doctor don't advise me handling prescent/pergolide. I had a mare years ago on it as well and she got depressed and went off feed b/c of it. My vet is checking into another drug...

Vet says due to the myopathy and quidding-no hay. The myopathy is the most concerning at this time. He needs low starch/sugar b/c his muscles are storing glucose in excess. I can't let him graze either until we get the myopathy under control. :-(

One of my minis (age 20) was just diagnosed with myopathy and we also suspect cushings. He's also a quiddor so has been on alfalfa/timothy pellets...he can't eat hay (but his teeth are fine - not sure why he balls and spits hay out)...anyway, due to the myopathy and cushings, our vet has...

Hi! I'm Janine and I have 4 minis ages 12, 16, 20 and almost 30. They all drive. I've had minis for several years. Love the littles! Just joined, looking forward to meeting you all!
