We have one driving mini, and starting the second one. My plan was to train them as a team, but was extremely surprised at how much more expensive team harness costs. SO............. I am thinking tandem. I have never driven a tandem hitch before, but as I understand it, then I simply need...

Does anyone know if you can buy miniature sized gardening equipment? such as a small harrow? garden hillers? cultivator or anything such as that? if so Where would one find such things?

The new filly has arrived....... I picked her up tonight. She is going to take some work, she has never been handled much......... We will start to change that tomorrow.

I got some more information today. The filly will be arriving Tuesday night, because Wednesday is a paid holiday so I will be home to oversee things. The lady says that "if" she is in foal, it would be a very recent thing. The stallion wasn't with the mares until he broke out of his pasture...

That is a very nice looking car port building. how big did you build your stalls?

Wow, I love your little buildings with the double dutch doors! How big are those buildings? The stalls look more like straight stalls than loose boxes, but that is what I was thinking of building too!

I have spoken for the filly and will be getting her in a couple of weeks when I get all my ducks in a row. My daughter( 15) suggested that rather than buy a team harness, she would like to train her to do Jumps and stuff like dog agility trials do. Where could we find books/ videos about such...

Ok, This mare is a two year old, but only by a few weeks. I guess I will assume that she is bred............. She is a nice little filly and needs a home, since they don't want her. I will probably take the chance........... I just have to make sure I know where she is going to foal. How...

Ok, Thanks for the advice. As far as I know she has been "out with the herd" since weaning, so a foaling date may be a problem.

Hi there, I have been looking for a second Miniature horse to put together with the one I have in a team. I have been offered a filly that is just coming two. My concern is that she has been running in the pasture with about 20 other miniatures. One is a mature stallion, and there are also...

Your set up sounds like a beautiful place. Do you have any pictures? I love to see other people's set up.

I live in Canada, so the snow can get pretty deep, which is why I am thinking housing. I would probably not keep more than 3 mares. As far as a stallion goes, I would not keep one, IF I can find one near by that would be an appropriate herd sire to use as a stud. How do you fence the...

Ok, I am glad I ask. I hadn't really thought about that. I have worked with big horses all my life, and have minis, but have been thinking that the older I get, I might only concentrate on the mini's as a "retirement hobby". That said, that I way I am thinking of resale. So If I stayed with...

Hi everyone, I know this is probably a loaded question, but if you were building a miniature horse barn, and were also thinking about resale value and what the next person might want it for too what would you consider a good size for Everyday stalls? Foaling Boxes? A stall for a stallion...

Ok, My Bad, I never really thought about the lack of snow thing. Bob sleds for the big horses don't turn like a wagon, where the runners turn. They are solid, but the sled isn't very long. So far this winter we have had about 36" of snow. This little fellow tends to get exercised where...

Well, just to be clear, I did mention that I do have horse experience.............and I am not stupid.............. What I didn't mention is that the sled wasn't for sleigh riding or anything like that. It's sole purpose was to raise the angle of draft to a more appropriate angle than having a...

How does one handle square bales with three strings and 100 pounds? with a fork lift? Are they something that you make yourselves or is that the way they sell them at a feed store? I haven't heard of them before. Around here, we have the smaller square bales, and the 4x4 round bales and 4x5...

That is a pretty easy comment to make, without backing it up with something.

I don't understand why words fail you? Maybe I am missing something.
