If I might hang around here, I'm curious as well.

Wow this free range livestock is very interesting. I always assumed it was your responsibility to keep animals in.

Haha you are correct, it is not on my list. I absolutely HATE vinyl fencing. There are a ton of people here that have it to pen in horses, and I just don't get it. It just looks terrible, there are always sections falling down or cracked like you said. My QH isn't very mischievous but when...

Thank you so much for your replies guys. I guess I was mostly worried that adding a few more strands wouldn't be enough, but if you've been using it forever Marsha, it must work. ;) Thank you so much for pictures as well! Marsha and Chamomile, your places look awesome. Never even heard of...

Hello again all, So my dear Miss May has again, given me one more thing to do around the barn. There used to be neighbors with horses next door, and the fencing between the two properties is a wire electric fence. He had it supercharged and NONE of the horses would even think of touching it...

Thank you both so much for your replies. Marsha, I thought I had replied earlier, guess not. I think I remember reading once upon a time ago a post from you (before I joined the forum) about your boy spooking at come cows? Is that right? I think I'll have to go back and find that. I have...

Hello all! I just wanted to share my "What the heck???" moment from Saturday. I took my Miss May out to ground drive and she did so beautifully on the road. When we got back I hooked her up to a little croquet cart and a bucket of rocks she's pulled around the pasture before with no problem...

Tying up for hours on end helped my QH out, but he only pawed when tied up. He used to dig holes until he was knee deep. Now he only does it when he gets left behind, which I can't really do anything about that. And so far it seems to be working with my mini. I take her to the arena when I...

Hello again. I started my mini driving this summer, I've driven horses before, but have never trained one to do it. She's doing pretty well, but just when I think she's ready to be actually attached to something, she proves me wrong. I took her out yesterday and she had a big spooking...

Thank you again so much everyone! I do think I have an idea of how the judges are going to judge Paintpony, I haven't been to any of the shows yet, as they are a couple hours away, but they happen in conjunction with APHA/AQHA shows, and as far as I know, the same judges do the mini classes. I...

Thank you very much everyone for your replies! I'm probably one of those "newbies" Jean. But I very much appreciate your information. I really couldn't find much while googling. Luv, I've only had the chance to use that halter once at a show, and had had the same thought of it slipping off...

Hello all, me again. I don't really have anyone around to ask questions about mini showing, so I am using you yet again. I bought my girlie an Arabian style and I'm having second thoughts. I love it and it's so cute on her, but I don't really know if it's appropriate for her look. I'm...

Oh great... you've given me something else to distract me at work. I had no idea iequine existed. I'm looking forward to watching lots of upcoming shows.

My girlie came to me with long heels and WAY over grown bars. I've been trying to lower them, as I didn't think they looked right, but I just haven't been aggressive enough, didn't know if I should or could do more. This has been really helpful, as I've always been told minis and ponies just...

Owchie! I'm sorry, hope he's doing well now. I tend to agree with everyone else, and your vet. "darned if you do, darned if you don't" (if I may say that). I would guess it was maybe a fluke thing. I'm not extremely experienced with trailer accidents or injuries, never came across any...

Though you could literally mow the lawn with them Ryan I certainly plan on finding one of these! Then I'd be happy to do the chore. (If anyone comes across one or knows where to get one for a mini... let me know! haha) I think you have an excellent list going.

I'm sorry, I thought I had already replied! Thank you for your reply Strange (if I may call you that haha). Still new to the little horse world! From what I can tell, the halter classes at these open shows don't have any type attached to them. Here's a decent pic of my girlie (I have yet to...

Hello again all! So I'm trying to prepare for some open shows I learned about recently, and Miss May is coming together so nicely! She's still kind of a pill, but we're working on that. One thing I am wondering about is how I should be setting her up. All of my show experience is Stock...

Oh that is just awesome! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINGER!
