    Advice on ordering Hyperbike

    I don't have an actual hyperbike just one that was modeled after it. I can tell you once you drive one you will HATE everyother cart you own. Thing turns on a dime is light weight and the horses are much more comfortable too. Congrats!

    Are we too involved with colour?

    Good horses come in ALL colors. Some colors are harder to find with good conformation. That just make the hunt harder.

    Cooling down clipper blades

    Just recently attended a miniature horse seminar, the speaker a notable trainer in Michigan said not to clip wet as it does dull your blades. Marty I will try your idea this weekend 7 to clip, including a rowdy baby. THANK YOU!

    babies and loose stool

    miniv, I think the ivermectin really does prevent the scours. The big horse foals I've had over the years always had "foal heat" scours, thought it was something you had to live with. But with the mini mare I just foaled out I treated her 30 days before and within 2 hrs of foaling and NO...

    Show Question

    The ONLY thing you won is LIBERTY. Dear girl that means you have a MOVER! There are very few really good movers in the miniature breed. So that accomplishment means ALOT. Congratulations!!!!

    Less foals-More training???

    I think the majority of the horses go to non show homes. All the more reason to TRAIN them. Performancemini that is exactly what I did I found a ADS/CDE big time exhibitor that was giving seminars locally. Funny thing is her classes were packed with mini owners!

    Less foals-More training???

    I've trained everything from a weaner to a stallion and a couple of older mares in between. I'm sure this will burn me alive BUT I've seen the 30 day wonder horses from "trainers" and you wonder why they are nervous....common sense says they're trying to "get er done", they can't spend enough...

    Less foals-More training???

    BRAVO poster! I'm a small time breeder/trainer had my first colt a month ago. Had big horses forever, this is my thoughts on breeding. If YOU decide to create a life, you better be willing to make it a GOOD one. Every horse I own does it all, I make that commitment BEFORE I buy or breed...

    Threw My Hay Nets Away!

    I use those tennis nets with the 1" holes but only for the big horses. They work GREAT! We put a whole round bale in them and we have no waste and they eat 24/7. The company we bought the net from does have 1/2" and 1/4" holes which is what I will get for the minis. It's wonderful to be able...

    Have you ever added an awning to your trailer?

    We use an easy up canopy you can put it up where ever to block sun or catch a breeze, (it only takes one person) is was only 69.00. Got lots of comments from people we were showing with it is big enough for 2 minis and both of us to sit under. Worked really well.
