Oh man, we did it! Turns out it's not in good condition, its BRAND NEW, and 100% home made. It's beautiful! The harnesses didn't come with bridles, as they just used ones they already had, but that's ok, I have two. It's also much lighter than I thought it would be... still trying to decide...

We're going to look at it tonight. EEK! And realistically I know the donk won't get much bigger, but it's fun to daydream for a bit lol.

Haha oh he's for sure sticking around lol

I like the way you think @MerMaeve 😁 hubby is now considering getting it and just converting it to a single so that I'll for sure use it lol

Hello All! I want to hear some of y'alls thoughts. My sweet hubby sent me a link yesterday while he was at work to a cute Mini team buckboard wagon in what looks to be good condition. I don't see those very often around here and have wanted one since I got my 1st mini lol. $2500 for the...

Thank you. I was just curious. He does look a touch better now, or I'm just getting used to him looking a bit raggedy lol

@chandab, I know this is an older post, but I'm just curious how long it took for your donks hair to go back to normal? Or at least how long it took to grow out a little. I just shaved my yearling donk and he looks.... pretty awful actually, I cried lol. Hoping the old adage of a couple weeks...

I do show her in a western halter now. The first couple were in the Arab style, as for some reason, I didn't think there were mini western show halters. Then I learned lol. It is interesting what a piece of tack can do though.

Wow! Thank you guys for the comments and suggestions. And thanks diamond, I really like her too. Her neck has concerned me lately as crusty as it is, but I generally do like her body! She was super fat, not drafty last year lol and I do like where she's at now. I've wondered if a neck sweat...

I've stalked a few of Mindy's blogs in the past. I will definitely check that out! Thank you! I know conditioning does a lot, trying so hard to get her in shape. It's been a long process, but she looks better. I've never been great at conformation lol I just have a vague idea, and I know...

Hi all! Here is probably yet another post about conformation. But I was just thinking today as I looked at my girl about the couple shows I've taken her to. Just open shows, and just for experience. In halter, she always does ok, about middle of the class. But I ALWAYS get the same two...

This is exactly what helped me better catch my QH. Years of struggling and I saw that suggested on another forum, and poof, he's easy now! I have since had to do it a couple times with my mini mare.

My favorite "Kodak moments" are when my hubs interacts with my critters. He helps me out around the barn, sure. But isn't too involved with them. So I love catching him loving on them and giving them a treat! He does want to be more involved though, and wants something for him to ride as a...

I interpreted this as, "MOOOOOMMMMM pleeeaaaassseee pay attention to me." lol:D

Well Mindy, I've been a touch green with envy of yours! ;) I put in a track a few years ago on less than an acre, and it's been great for my QH! He is much more fit and less bored. I wish I could put May on it, but she inhaled anything my QH didn't eat and got tubby... I wish I had time to...

Ah! Looking good! I actually think I came across this picture on Facebook, the Paddock Paradise page perhaps? Should have recognized him haha

Oh dear.... :eek: I use hay nets... but I make my own from baling twine (found a tutorial on youtube). They're super durable. I make the holes smaller for my pig of a mare so she doesn't inhale her hay (and to keep feet out of them). Pictured are my nets. I AM replacing my fence though as...

Oh I'm so jealous! What an adorable little guy! <3

What a cutie! :p

Oh boy are those ears and eyes expressive! It has been interesting to watch them. He definitely has his people too!
