Thanks for all the great help, and I am sure I will be back for more....... maybe sooner than we think.

When I was a kid I was bullied, and I didn't have a friend in the world. When I was 14 my parents bought me my very first "friend" she was a 6 month old Belgium Filly. she arrived on the 23 of December my Christmas present. That was 34 years ago and there has not been a day from that one to...

I guess I am as excited as a little kid, lol I am planning to teach him to drive, at least long rein him,, who knows maybe he will be the better of the driving horses.

I spent some time with a friend that has clyde stallions today, and he helped me to see through some things. He suggested that in stead of building a paddock tomorrow that I put the existing minis out in the morning until supper time, and then bring the gelding in and put the stud out with the...

I woke up this morning thinking.................... I my I might be over my head.......... I have been reading the posts of stallion problems........... I guess it is better than entering into things unaware...... When He arrives, he will be stalled in one of the big horse stalls. I am...

I would never claim to be an expert driver. I have a Standardbred that I drive on a wagon. I have worked with horses since I was little. I have horsehoed and cultivated with the team and single horse, for HOURS each summer as a tween and until young adulthood. I yarded logs in the woods...

I am so glad that I started asking questions here, and that you tell me the truth and not just what I want to hear. It is hard to learn the other way. So the reselling of him was truthfully a "way out" in case I couldn't handle him......... But instead I see now that I need to set myself up to...

I found the picture I was talking about, but I don't know whos barn it is, but I saved the picture, because I like the idea.

Now that I have read the posts all a few times, I have learned lots of things. I hadn't thought of using the same paddock on a rotational schedule, like a 12 hour cycle, that is a neat idea that might be helpful...... Amysue, you gave me lots of questions to think about. The original plan...

This is a picture of the stud. He is arriving the first of the week. That gives me the weekend to at least have a stall ready....... I have been reading about handling stallions, and I have a friend that has draft stallions. I can get some advice from him as well, but his stallions are...

Sooooooooooo............ no one has stallions? if I am asking the wrong questions what are the right questions? Can the three horses all be turned out together? and pasture breed the mare?? What size stall does a stallion need??

There are no studs to breed with around locally, and there are several ads on line where people are looking to breed to one. There is a 3 year old stallion for sale about 3 hours from here, and I am thinking of buying him........ I have worked with Draft horses, Ponies, saddle horses, and...

I didn't disappear the form decided not to let me sign in for quite some time. Then I tried it tonight and it worked. I have no idea why..... There is no foal so I guess I just jumped the gun... There are no studs for hire near here. I may buy a colt and breed her next year...

she doesn't look very big too me, but her sides are more sunk in today, than they were.

This is a side on View of our filly. Keep in mind that she just turned 3

I did take some pictures, but I don't see how to up load them, so I will have to look again later.

Thanks for all the advice, I will try to get some pictures tomorrow, if it's not raining. She was outside today, and when I brought her in this evening, she was thirsty and was drinking from her water bowl. We could watch her side ( the flank right in front of the hind leg) and there was...

Hi, I have a miniature filly. She just turned three. I got her the first week of july last summer. So she was two when I got her. She was in a pasture with several minis including 2- 18 month old colts and a 20 year old stallion. The males were in the pasture from March until the day we...

When I google "miniature horse stalls" there are all kinds of "prefabbed stalls" out there that can be purchased. I am not going that route, just looking at ideas. Yet there are so many designs and sizes, I guess just about anything will work. Some of the stalls sold are only 4 feet wide...

Why is team harness so much more expensive than single harness? I know that there is an extra strap around the neck to hold the yoke up, and a martingale system, but the rest is basically is the same.....
