Thanks everyone! We have a 3 mo old colt that we are planning on gelding this Sunday (if he is dropped..and we have felt both, so should be good to go). His breeder (he is still with his dam at the breeder's farm) talked to her vet about it and that vet made her feel like it was not a good idea...

What is the youngest you've ever gelded a colt? Were there any complications from doing it so young and would you do it again that young? (Specifically want to know about colts younger than 6 months)

Well, my story is much different than most (here anyway...lol) and the reason I was divorced from my husband of 12 years was because I finally (at age 35) decided that I wanted to be "happy" and that for me was to come out as a lesbian and be with a woman. When I first came out to my husband, he...

Last year, as you can see from her baby pics, she was more of a blood bay even after clipping. This year after clipping, she is much darker...almost a black bay but not quite that dark. Is that normal?? lol

Thank you!

Here are a few updated pics of her...As always, just quick "in the pasture" taken with our phones, so not the best quality, but...I still think this pony is pretty. People that see her in person tell us what a nice pony she is, too. I just wish I could get a decent pic of her head...it always...

I am also one that isn't very creative...lol...but congrats! I can't wait to hear how you finally decide to ask her...and see the ring!

I never met Les personally, but Getitia is the nicest lady and my heart goes out to her at this difficult time.

Akkk...OK, you all are no help!! LOL I have not written her back yet concerning this...and my heart is telling me that I should keep her with us. We have all adjusted to her being here (including our other dogs) and while they don't really interact with her (she sleeps a lot and since she can't...

I am still going back and forth with this. We will be down in her area on Saturday and have the dogs with us, so may let her know so I can see how Chanel reacts to her. Since she is basically blind, it will be her voice/smell that will trigger any recognition. If she does know who she is, I will...

A little less than 2 yrs ago we adopted an older "blind" (cataracts) MinPin named Chanel. She fits into our family for the most part and altho she has issues related to age, she is doing well. A few days ago, her original owner (who had her for the 1st 10 yrs of her life) emailed us asking how...

I also agree....Never, ever put big horses and Minis together in same pasture...I, too, have seen what can happen!

We will also be using the 120 test on a mare. Can anyone post a pic on how to secure the pad on the horse please? Mine are pastured, so the other ways you all suggested won't work in my case.

I also have Carl come out yearly and in fact he was just here yesterday...He said MOST horses need work done between ages 3-4...20 new teeth come in during that time!

I am in Florida so my horses live in sand 24/7. We feed the Walmart brand of Metamucil (orange flavored) and sprinkle a little bit in their feed once daily (maybe a teaspoon). Cheap and works. They also get soaked beet pulp which is fiber and helps, but I would not rely on "just" that.

YES

I've thought about trying the WeeFoal test...but wanted to use the one for a later pregnancy since I've heard they are more accurate, so will try that. (BTW, yes, we had decided to no longer breed, but the last breeding was more of a "last hurrah" for our stallion/turned gelding Khan to release...

I have a 4 yr old maiden mare that was only bred 2 separate times last year...once in late March and once on August 1st. We really did not think she would take, but in the last few months has gotten a real belly on her. We had her ultrasounded about 2 months ago and she tested "open". I was...

We are currently having our 3 horse GN trailer converted into an 8 horse Mini trailer! I know that is more than you are looking for, but when we get it done (next week sometime), I will post pics to give you an idea of what we did for dividers. I found a local welder that also has horses (so...

How many mini's do you have? Currently we have 14, but we were up to 16 (and a Mini donkey) for awhile. How did you get into mini's? In 1994, I saw an ad for a black pinto Mini stallion and since I was no longer showing big horses, I decided to get him! Do you show your mini's? Yes, we love...
