I really didn't mean to start a "Hullaballo" with my question. I think many folks on this forum are into taller minis. I agree with Tony, a 26" mini is not going to have long legs. Personally, I like small minis, but have added some taller mares to my farm mainly hoping to prevent problems...

I have tried to read through the other posting on breeding dwarves. I am relatively new to this and many have mentioned in that posting, bloodlines that have known dwarves. I saw the pic of Lord of the Isles which is way back in one of my mini's pedigree. So now I'm scared. Is there a list...

I haven't read this whole thread so maybe someone else has responded similar to mine. We have the road that poo built! Well not a road exactly. We have a pond on the way to our barn and a levee. The area in front of the barn is not very big. In the late fall and winter months my hubby has...

I don't know much about before they have the "little one", but I had the same problem Marty had after. My one mare seemed to fall apart over night. I know that wasn't the case, but it sure seemed like it. I had to ween at 3 months. Her colt was a big guy and her backbone was showing.

I am faced with something similar only actually worse. My son's girlfriend is an addict. They have a 3 month old baby. My son is an addict as far as she is concerned. He has gone so far as to steal from us to hock items for money to buy her drugs. We have tried to help him and he does ok...

I did not respond to the original posting. I don't think you were harsh at all Franklin. In fact, I appreciated your response.

Well, got no funny names on MY side of the family, but my hubby does: ZORA ZULINE (My Mother-in-law) HOMER EDSEL (My Father-in-law) CLOIS AND DELOIS (My husband's twin Cusins) MAUDIE MAY (My Husband's grandma) J.L. (My husband's uncle, no name just initials) EMMA NELL (My husband's...

Marty, I have only had the experience of having three babies, all of them colts. My first one was all boy from the minute he was born. In fact my vet commented on it when she came to check him after he was born. He has had attitude since day one. When he lost his mom at 2 weeks, we made him...

I only have one AMHR horse, but count on me. I haven't been to any shows and don't know a thing, but I would like to start. Guess I'll have to start working with her, she's a chubbo.

Bottom line to me, hon, is it's your money and your business. Horse looks nice to me.

Marty please please keep that bad weather east until Sunday! (I'm outside Memphis) We have our Christmas parade tomorrow and tonight we are working on our float. It is projected to rain tomorrow. This is the 29th edition of the parade and they have never called it for weather. We have...

Well, you guys have convinced me not to drive in the parade. Didn't take a lot of convincing! I walked my stallion in this same parade last year (his first) and he was fine. I haven't been training him for the cart as he is 30" and this mare is 31 1/2 and I thought she would be better. This...

It sure does look a lot like it. Only difference I see is mine has the spares box and I think the seat back is a little lower and mine has brass metal work in front and a brass whip holder. So you look like you might be quite a bit taller than me. (Not to mention in a lot better shape!) I'm...

Well, now I know for sure "one size" does not fit all! I have been looking to get another easy entry cart since I sold the one I had a couple years ago. A friend of mine had a beautiful Amish made Solid Oak road cart with spares box, whip holder, wire wheels and also wooden wheels. Also a...

I have my homeowners with State Farm. When I bought my farm I asked about if I was covered if my horses did something to someone else (I was mainly concerned with getting out on the road and someone hitting them and the person being killed). I was told 7 horses were covered with the basic...

Milo: I agree. There is a place for "pet quality" minis. Not everyone can afford a "show quality" mini, and just maybe not everyone wants one. I sometimes get a little "tired" of all the comments about the new arab style being the only thing worth having. Before I get flamed here, this is...

Nope, don't have a picture of the wreath and I haven't figured out how to do pictures on here. But all you do is wrap, wrap, wrap it around and around like you would a hose. Then put another wire or two around it, paint it and hang it. Real plain, country, and simple. You can add horse shoes...

WE have made a wreath out of barb wire. My husband wraps it in the shape of a wreath and paints it (kind of a rusty brown color) and then I added a horseshoe or two. We don't necessarily do them for Christmas. I have mine hanging up on my barn.

Well, as I sit here in my office when I should be working, I have tears in my eyes. "Have a Little Faith" , WOW! I am assuming you are a youth since 4H is mentioned. You are very mature and a very caring person whatever your age is. You are so right, "everyone needs a name". Bless you.

I've never posted on here before, I always post on the mini page, but I need some advice and this looked like the place to come. I don't know if anyone has any experience with what to do if you have thousands of dollars in medical bills, no job and no insurance. My son lost his job and...
