    New Updates on Peebie - and thanks yous

    I just wormed them last week, and they have salt and mineral blocks readily available. She gets about 1 lb of day of the 14% protein pellets in the middle of the day and she grazes from 7-8 AM until about 6-7 PM.... so she gets plenty to eat, and since she decided she likes to run, we run her...

    New Updates on Peebie - and thanks yous

    I just took some new pics of the horses and wanted to share this with you. Just took this a little while ago. She is doing so wonderful and almost all of her winter coat is gone now, just in time for the new one to start I suppose. lol Check her out now, she is getting so much taller and her...

    New Updates on Peebie - and thanks yous

    She is grazing from 7 AM to 7-8 PM, depending on if I can get out there later rather than earlier... and I give her about 1lb of feed two times a day, at around noon and 5PM. She has a REALLY really big belly, but it isn't out of proportion like it's been.... that can easily be run off the way...

    New Updates on Peebie - and thanks yous

    I wondered about this one, my daughter and I have looked up every single horse color we could find and this and silver dapple seemed to fit the best so far. It isn't that it really matters in the big picture, just never seen one this color before... either way it goes, even if she made up a...

    New Updates on Peebie - and thanks yous

    Thank you... I give her the credit though, she has so much fight in her. She has fought her whole life and I just want to get her where she doesn't feel the need to fight for her life anymore. She turned a year old this month as well, the nearest anyone can tell. My only issue now is wondering...

    New Updates on Peebie - and thanks yous

    I promised you all I'd keep you updated on Peebie and I was out with her today and was lucky enough to have my iphone on me and grabbed a few pics. I have to tell you, this baby has made such huge improvements... last night, when my daughter and I went to put her back up, she went into the pen...

    Update on Peebie, I am so excited and happy

    This is certainly reassuring to know. Bobby is just a little over 2 months old and almost as tall as she is. She is a year old and I think we found her to be something like 26". I am not sure how tall they should be at that age, but something tells me that she isn't where she should be. I tried...

    Update on Peebie, I am so excited and happy

    This is what you all have done to my baby: Peebie on August 4th, 2011: And Peebie on Aigust 13th, 2011 I am not so sure there is a drastic difference physically, but mentally the change is seriously drastic. And finally, her friend , Bobby.... and no that halter doesn't stay on him, he...

    Update on Peebie, I am so excited and happy

    Thanks to all of you here that helped me with Peebie 9 days ago... she is making marked improvements by the day and today was a huge breakthrough for her. I've had her on the feeding schedule the way a great many of you suggested, and that alone has her already making huge and drastic...

    Is this horse bred or no?

    Ok folks, my new question of the day. I have been told Tori is bred and that she would be due the end of this month to the beginning of September, but I am not sure. I've been told to watch her utters, teets, whatever you wish to call them and see if they are changing. Well.... since I don't...

    Putting muscle on a mini horse

    I don't work her at all, I've been afraid to, to be very honest with you. BUT...... It's been a few days and I have stuck like a clock with her feeding and making sure she's getting fed on the clock and what she needs according to what you all have told me to do, NOT listening to everyone...

    Putting muscle on a mini horse

    UPDATE: I went to feed the horses this morning and Peebie is more perky this morning than i have seen her since we brought her home. She knows the routine, she waits patiently while I get the big ones fed and then she typically will walk, ever so slowly, to the gate to wait for me to get there...

    Putting muscle on a mini horse

    I watch the manure everyday, every time I am out with them. They all 3 seem to use the same spot in the pen I have them in. Peebie just goes wherever, whenever... but the other 3 have their own spots they go in, so it's easy for me to see who is doing what. Banner had very much changed his diet...

    Putting muscle on a mini horse

    I just came back in from checking on them. I gave them all an extra helping of the feed pellets today and I am such a paranoid freak that I've been out there I guess 100 times looking at them to make sure they are doing ok. Tonight when I went out, they weren't trying to maul me for their...

    Putting muscle on a mini horse

    I went to the only 3 places I have here locally and the closest I could come to 16% pellets was a 14% Complete for Mares and Foals made by Triumph. The girl in the store that I got this from also raises minis and she's helped me a great deal with the wormer, so I talked to her for a little while...

    Putting muscle on a mini horse

    See now, I was so worried about all of these things that you have pointed out here. And I swear, I have talked to about 3-4 vets, as I am as picky about them as I am about what Dr my kids see, they are all my babies. And ALL of them have warned me of over feeding her... seriously. BUT, not a lot...

    Putting muscle on a mini horse

    I don't take anything the wrong way. If I was afraid someone would say something I didn't want to hear, I wouldn't have come to ask for advice on this. I only want what is absolutely best for her. And in her defense, I did clip her. It is so hot here, with heat indexes over 100 for more than a...

    Putting muscle on a mini horse

    awww, she is beautiful. And yes I know about the breeding thing, I've already talked to a Vet, I am considering letting him breed with Tori and then having him gelded, given she isn't already pregnant that is. His testicles have not dropped yet, she told me how to tell and I watch this one...

    Putting muscle on a mini horse

    Here are the others: This is banner, we got him and he was supposed to be 1 yr old, but he's so not a yr old, he was a year old when this guy got him. He was so jumpy and skittish when I got him, but look at him, how could you even consider not spending every minute with him? He is, I believe...

    Putting muscle on a mini horse

    Here are some pics of her. She gets fresh grass for about 5 hours, we pull her out. We stopped this for a time, as I was worried she was getting too much of it, but her weight started dropping really bad again, so we gave it back to her. She gets the sweet feed, which is what the prior owner...
