    hypothyroid and minis?

    Ask your vet about Thyrol L. It helped my mare loose the weight. I kept her on it for about a year and took her off this winter. She lost about 50 lbs or more. You can wean her off of it when she is at a good weight and see if she keeps it off. It has to be prescribed by the vet.

    Heavy mane?

    There are a couple of things you could do if you want to grow it out. (She does look nice with the short mane tho. Looks like my mini mule) My gelding has a Very thick and long mane too. When he came to me his crest had fallen a little and his mane was on the "wrong/left" side. I started...

    Moss Out and pasture

    I've read that horses don't metabolize excess iron well and it can lead to toxicity. If they eat around the iron oxide, they may ingest too much. I would really read the label, and maybe call your county extension office for alternatives for pasture.

    hello!!

    Welcome to the forum :-) Hope you get all the answers you need! We don't do visits, but the only thing I can think of is getting them used to going inside buildings and doorways. Pause so their eyes can adjust. Wheel chairs, walkers, IV poles can be scary too. Good luck!

    Clothing to wear for chores

    Coveralls, (not bibs) are my best friend! I have them for all seasons from many different brands. I change into them at least 5 times a day, sometimes over my PJs, sweats or town clothes. Of course I have to alter them, for my short legs and arms. Get 1 size larger for ease of donning and...

    Share your tail wrapping methods!

    The easiest, least destructive way I have found, is to knot it. Just slather on some coconut oil, loosely twist the tail and tie 1 big knot just below the tail bone. Keep it from coming loose by wrapping a headband style elastic band around above the knot, down, and around below the knot...

    Just curious - What other animals do we all own?

    WoW! Some of you have a LOT of critters! I thought with my 14, I had a bunch to care for! It seems all I do is scoop various kinds of poop and feed 4 different kinds of meals. All get one on one attention/love every day. I have 5 cats, down from 9. All but 1 are getting old, we loose one...

    Little Victories

    Great job! Maybe there's hope for my CoCo Puff the little mini mule. 4 years I've had her and still have to corner her in a stall to touch her, or halter her. We do it the same way as you! Say "in the stall CoCo" - play ring-around-the-rosey a couple of laps, slip lead around the neck, then...

    Horse treats

    I used to make treats for mine sometimes. Only in the winter, they mold unless refrigerated. Animal crackers are a favorite. They can be broken up in at least 2 pieces, last well in a pocket and are only 100 calories for 10 pieces. Since my one has foundered I stopped giving so many real...
