Are they perennial or annual? How big do they get?

Any one want to trade seeds? I have mixed sunflower, (wild?) hibiscus and zennia. Would love some snapdragons!

That is so sad to hear. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I have 2 books on trick training. Trickonometry and Trick Training Horses. I think I like Trickonometry best. Mine do a lot of tricks, mostly taught before I got the books! I have never gotten one to lay down for me yet. It's hard with a mini 'cause they are so close to the ground! Smile...

It's a pumice stone. "Slick & Easy" shedding blocks work great too. I guess rough sandpaper would work too for a little while.

Lowes. I think it's for kitchens & baths. If I remember right, $11-13 a sheet. They should have it a Home Depot too.

I used OSB and then put plain white paneling over it. It was still cheaper than plywood. Easy to keep clean also, just wipe it down a couple of times a year. It also helps to have all exposed boards covered with metal. No busy beavers here! 8X10 is a good size stall, my time out stall is...

Mine love cardboard boxes. All sizes. Just trash/recycle them when they are done stomping and ripping them. Good part is I don't have to break them down.

The one thing that jumps out at me is that the breaching is too low. The strap should be around the biggest part of the rump. Others may have more suggestions. It's hard to tell a lot until they are hooked up to the cart. :-)

I think mine is the 4 ft size. I put it up same as MindySchroder. Please excuse the high grass, We had just moved in.

I love my cattle panel fence. It does cost more up front but will save you in the long run. It holds up to butt scratching, doesn't sag or bend, is easy to put up or take down if needed and looks nice.

This looks better than the Hot Wash (electric 5 gal) I got years ago. It runs out of hot water pretty quick if you're washing a horse. I haven't used it for a while because it's a PITA to set up then you have to wait for it to get hot. If this is truly "on demand", then what would it matter...

If you are in the US, you should have a county extension agent. They help/oversee ag and related areas. Mine has a hay probe that he can take samples of my hay with. After getting the sample I send it to a lab. www.equi-analytical.com has all the info and forms you need. It cost $18 for...

I use Remission supplement by AniMed. It's for horses prone to laminitis. High sugar and laminitis run together. I started my too fat/probably metabolic mare on it to help with laminitis. Now I feed it to all my minis just as a precaution. The ingredients are mostly a digestive aid, but it...

I could never figure out that setup either. If you can afford another $20, get a new singletree. I like the ones from Iowa Valley Carriage, now www.ivccarriage.com. They have the ones with hook ends and come in many different sizes.

I've bought singletrees from Iowa valley carriage, now www.ivccarriage.com They have the ones with hook ends in many sizes, and very affordable.

I made this to hang my harness.

In my opinion, any way you can limit grazing, it will help with weight loss. For me leaving halters or grazing muzzles on without supervision is too scary. Horses are born trying to injure themselves in any way possible.

They are supposed to limit grass 50-80%. If it works for your Welsh, then it should work for the minis. I don't think 20-30 min on pasture would hurt much. Mine only get 1 hr of pasture (counts as 3/4 lb hay or a meal) a day unless I use the grazing muzzle, then they can stay out 2-3 hrs. I...

I feel your pain. Welcome to my world--every spring & fall. Luckily our "barn" doesn't flood inside (it stops at the door XXXX).
