So tonight we had 4H photos with the club for our fair booth this weekend. (wow can't believe its here already!) Diego, the silver dapple and my daughter make quite the pair. When waiting for everyone to get together for the group photo, Diego decided it would be a great time to practice his...

oh my thats hilarious!

Thanks so much, some really great ideas here!! Pepi Grand Champion maybe? I didn't get down to tractor supply like I wanted and we had pictures with the 4H group this evening so we bathed and clipped and did the whole spa treatment. Of course I didn't get any head shots, as I had cleaned up his...

Now that looks very nice! It is still maintaining a natural appearance. He doesn't look greasy, or diseased as sadly many others do. I would never have guess this horse had been razored. ohmt: I hope you didn't get the impression I was complaining, I was seeking opinions and thoughts out of...

Chamois cloth, I've read about it but never thought much about it. Makes sense though, esp since it won't leave fuzz etc behind. Thanks! The triple crown oil is a mix of flaxseed, rice bran and soy. I did alot of research into the omega's, as I know excess omega 6 can interfere with the omega...

We have our 4H mini show coming up week after next and then we are planning to attend a show in Billings 2 weeks after. The two we are planning to show have really nice coats, and alot of sheen even with the body clipping. I use quiksilver shampoo for thier white areas and manes/tails (One is a...

Thats very interesting. I would also look into equine acupuncture. My vet does both chiro and acupuncture and I believe she does the electric stimulus too. Its a very very light current that's used. Keep us posted and good luck! I hope your little guy gets better soon

Thanks for the replies everyone. As I was reading your replies something occurred to me, something which I've thought a lot about in the big horse world. I find it extremely sad and misguided for a well clipped horse to beat out a natural horse. If the well clipped horse had better...

Before anyone flames me, I am making this post out of sincere curiosity. It appears to be quite common with minis and Arabians to razor the eyes and muzzles and remove eyelashes. It is simply my opinion that this looks unnatural and in some cases even rather gross, giving the appearance that...

are there non driving games you can play? what about doing high school stuff in hand, like learning a passage or piaffe or Spanish walk.. something away from the norm. What about trick training? I know nothing about driving horses though The way you talk he sounds like one of my geldings, he...

They should get between 2 to 2.5% of thier total body weight in feed per day. It is recommended that at least half of that is roughage, which I agree with. Its natural for horses plus there is the risk of ulcers when a horse has less in its tummy (plus it kills boredom when they can munch more...

I never liked razoring, honestly i think it looks unnatural, esp when they are oiled so much they look dripping wet. They do that with the Arabs too and it makes me sad (even though its 'illegal' they don't enforce it). I never heard of removing eye lashes! So much personality is there in those...

I sent you a PM

Thats very interesting about the vaccinations, I would love to find more information about that. Where i work we have Arabians, Egyptian and polish. Arabs have quite alot in common with minis and ponies, given the state of their metabolism and over all hardiness etc. One of the foundation mares...

Ya, I've heard the same thing from the vets about bute for laminitis, that banamine often won't touch the pain really. I did talk to my vet also about the use of bute in minis, as I was told not to use it. She said that danger lies in the dosage, as many who have already posted can attest too...

I follow a number of horse rescues on Facebook, one of the primary ones is Another Chance 4 Horses (AC4H). They broker horses from the kill lot each week. A lot of driving horses and minis coming off the amish farms, lots of saddlebreds etc. While most the big horses go to slaughter, the minis...
