Hi I added 2 pic's so you could there size a little better Booker the stud is a good bit smaller then Dollie 3 year mare - he is only a 2 inches taller then the mare Missy. The odd thing is I dont think he knows what he is doing.. he shows no studd behavior, We have seen him in a playful way put...
Pic of the pen with the sleeping foal we named her Baby Girl & only she can fit in the door way - its to short & to thin for anyone else, ther is a white 4 by 4 grate slid into place at the door way giving her about 18 inches wide to get in & it can be closed if need be.
1/2 a day and i see the mare getting more side track on keeping up on the foal, The foal will run off to see the others.. But Booker and Dollie seem to be like NO go away and start walking away from her, well she follows in tow so they walk faster, its kinda funny how fast they pick up on dont...

She was way under weight - under...
They have an acre, The mini barn is open with no stall, it is 10 by 20 with the door way on the 20 foot side and its a 6 foot door way.. But i will keep that closed untill it is safe and no more running off and kicking is going on.... I think she will be at the top of the pole.. Booker & Dollie...
Thank You We dont know what his dam was, there were 2 studs on the farm a blue raon and a medcine cap. His coat keeps changing, last winter was lighter then the one before, My daugher came home from out of state for a few weeks and said what did you do to Booker bleach him? LOL Then again I...
I thought I would post some Pic's of Booker, Back in 8-2009 I had posted about him looking for info on how to care for & help him, this site has changed so much since then I had to make a new account?? My old one was gone???
Here is Booker
In the 1st pic he is 3 to 4 months old and this was 3...
Hi everyone,
I posted a few weeks ago about adding a mare & a foal to My 2 mini's... Well Mare and foal spent the last 4 weeks in there own small area, there fence aera was shared to the pasture with Dollie & Booker. Dollie & Booker got along great with the foal, she would place her body up...
I was using freedome - like top line for dogs put on every 2 weeks, it worked on mine But my mini's were not happy when i put it on them. i just switched to BUG OFF it is a garlic form powder/grit you to dress there food. Co says please allow 2 weeks for it to start working, well I could see...
Hi AnnaC
Nice to hear it has and can be done and everyone still be happy. I will have halters on Dollie & Booker, As it is right now I would have better luck getting Dollie & Booker to come to me with out food, they will come when you call for them & follow you were evry you go... Dollie was...
Thats a great idea i wish it would work for us, but i dont keep halters on all the time. I am just going to have to change or add to my set up
Thank you

1st I want to say hello to everyone, I was member a year or so ago but could not find my account??
So many changes since then, after having to put down 2 of the rescues I said no more & was just going to keep Dollie & Booker. We bought a new place put in a mini barn & new fenced in pasture...
Missy gave in and had to see what was so tasty for her foal and sure enough she took grass from his hand to, I think lil kids help gain there trust, I stoop down alot to help them with trust. But for the record KIDS should not be in with them, and untill you know they are kick safe they should...
Up untill this point they would not come up to people.. This was braken the ice Day, My 2 year old grandson kept going over to the make shift pen, He was not allowed so i kept going over & getting him just before he got to the fence, and the foal was just as interested in him as he was in...
The mare is not sure of any one or any thing, I have giving both new one time to just settle in, day 2 I removed the leads that had be left on because they are hard to catch, thats just not safe I will try to gain there trust not force it, that has work well with the others. I feed - water -...
So sweet, Dollie itching Booker and Booker itching the foal through the fence, she has learned over the last week to put her body against the fence and one of them will itch her
