    Stop Showing

    Kelly there will always be those who won't help and don't want you there. Just do your thing girl. If you don't want to look like the rest.. don't. Just an observation as to how to fit into the ring show world. There are lots of things you can do with your minis other than showing. But I'll be...

    Stop Showing

    I showed dogs for year. Never horses because I... well... showed dogs so it was always the same political set of rules sometimes. Especially when you started winning over big name handlers/ or dogs and you were a nobody. It's not that they are fun suckers... but they just don't know HOW to give...

    Bouncy shafts in my New Frey Cart--YEEK! not happy

    We tried moving him forward and I use quick release loops with a buckle strap. We tried wrap straps and it made the shaft rub on his sides and bounced him. Tried rotating the shafts out farther with the wrap straps and it got worse. Regular curved shafts is what I started with and had to rotate...

    Bouncy shafts in my New Frey Cart--YEEK! not happy

    So we did that and get got worse... seat is all the way back and up 1 spot. If I lean way back the shafts float.. so it does have some weight. shafts are now marathon shafts and harness is adjust to fit him and the cart. The trick will be to fit another horse. So these are "Suppose" to be for...

    Bouncy shafts in my New Frey Cart--YEEK! not happy

    Ok. I went to visit my friend and we fixed some of the issues. Just a reminder I have only had this horse for about 3 weeks and he came with his harness. The previous owner had him very tight in it and he could not move well. I had already adjusted it and change out his bit to free him up. So...

    Alfalfa pellets

    Small pellets are not bad. I feed cubes at one time (un-soaked) and had a horse almost die. It got stuck in his throat. With the vet on the phone over an hour away.. I put a hose up his mouth until the cube dissolved (as the are pretty fast) and blow out his nose. Was the scariest thing...

    Bouncy shafts in my New Frey Cart--YEEK! not happy

    Thanks willow. I got new pics from a friend who knows someone with a Frey and it is helping. I am going to her house Friday to see if we can fix this.. I love how this cart is made but if it does not work it's gone.

    Bouncy shafts in my New Frey Cart--YEEK! not happy

    Ok guys.. There is an older post on this but it never resolved. But I have this problem now and am having a terrible time adjusting my NEW Frey superlite with marathon shafts to NOT BOUNCE in the shaft ends so much. He is 33" and this cart is "suppose" to fit this size. Tires are 20" The only...

    Bred late or just holding on???

    The vet can do a blood draw if they are 60 days or more to check for possible bred. I do it for all my minis after breeding. works 99% of the time. never had one fail or not deliver. It runs about $85 each.

    Udder development?

    From your side view she looks like the baby has not dropped down and moved back. Really save yourself the worry, get a ph kit from the pool store. Squeeze a little milk, and test her. Drops below 6.7 and 24 hours! Always works!

    Question about gestation and foaling

    Get your self a ph test kit from pool store. Squeeze just a little milk and test it. When it drops below 6.5 (I think it is) she will drop within 24 hours.

    First time trailering? Loose or tied?

    Your going to fund this is 50-50 on who ties. I tie loose but not so they can get there head down. Just comfortable. with lots of hay in a hay bag. Stop and check often. 4 months is awful young for trailering, but lots of people do it. Good luck with your new baby.
