    When to send my mini colt to a trainer? Round pen?

    And adventure with! I think it'd be fun trying things with the minis that seem scary with the biggies-- ski jouring, taking them to the beach, maybe trick or treating with funny halloween costumes, funny photoshoots :)

    When to send my mini colt to a trainer? Round pen?

    Hi All, You guys have been such a guiding compass and comfort to me! I'm happy to report that everyone is settling in and happy and well-behaved right now (including my mare who was in heat and adjusting from being back from a trainer, but seems to be more relaxed now). I'm hoping you guys...

    Activities to do with Mini Horse

    Another super great feed! Thank you, awesome community. I also ask my minis to back out of their gate to the grass paddock and do flexes on both sides. I think backing up, makes them think and trust you. I sometimes put a lead line around their butt and on the other side, pull a little, so they...

    Herd Dynamics

    Haha unfortunately she’s overall bit hard to handle— ear pins and sometimes threatens to kick and can be stubborn with moving forward or wanting to be antsy and not stay back when you back her (like you back a step then she rebounds forward the next second). But she’s gotten better after 3...

    Mosquito season!

    Aww thank you for being such a support for us and friend. They're doing so much better! Kiwi has settled in and calmed wayy down to a normal and manageable level. I think that first day I was just nervous that the craziness was his personality and not situational haha Cooper is letting me catch...

    Mosquito season!

    Hi Team, I’d love your suggestions and help with how to keep the mosquitos and flies away during the summer! My bigger horses are on Buglyte, platinum premium skin and allergy supplements and ultra shield fly spray along with fly masks and sheets, but I still haven’t felt like that’s done a...

    How to not over feed

    Thank you all for being such a supportive, knowledgeable and kind community! I really appreciate you all enormously and your time, help, and comfort! My two new minis have been such a joy, but also so different from my two “full” sized horses. The vet told me that my 35” minis should be getting...

Thanks for the clarification on not spray bottling, but waving kiwi away instead, but not feeling like...

    Buddy? For my mini

    Hi All :) I rescued a 6 month- old (at the time, three months ago) miniature horse from a kill pen and finally found him a buddy who is a stallion, 2020 colt and rescued from a neglect situation but was said to be a pasture buddy to other horses but then those horses got sold. Cooper, my...
