Her 'original' owner said she was such a sweetie and they are so right. Jewel(Jupiter) is bossy mare but with just these two horses and little filly, it is working for us. The horses are all together in the daytime minus the feedings. Jewel, has finally decided that she would be nice to Sparkles...

In the winter here, she had so much hair and I noticed that she was able to feel her ribs and her hip bone a bit so I got a bit nervous about her not getting enough nutrition so I had upped her feed with a bit of the emolene 300 as I wasnt yet sure if she was prego or not. Now the weather has...

here is another picture from today. oops never mind.. can't load pictures for some reason tonight.

I don't have pictures of the Stallion and was told that she was in with this Stallion (Southridges 'Destined To Be') She is looking just fat to me so I am not quite sure yet that she is... I should know for sure in a few weeks I would think. This little horse loves to run and had fun today...

Awe.. so cute. You have been busy.

It is hard to tell wether or not Sparkles has just gained weight or if she is in foal. If she is in foal, she is carrying it differently than Jewel did and she would have to be at the very least 6-7 months along. And I did find out that if she is indeed then it would be with this stallion...

Ok. so we now have a beautiful filly from Jewel and are wondering if Sparkles is pregnant also. It is hard to tell as I think she has gained weight. If Sparkles is in foal; I did find out that she was exposed to this stallion: "Southridge Destined To Be" and that she has had some beautiful...

and I am going to wait as suggested on the halter.

Jane, thank you so much. This has been so helpful especially about the feeding time as that also has been my concern. I truly am at a loss at how to train a young horse. I have contacted a mini horse ranch near us to help be a mentor. I have seen shaggy minis zipping around in fields near us...

Oh good and thank you for those tips. Monday's are somewhat of a day off for me. Weekends are busy work and family days with people here visiting. I just went out to sit and read in the pasture. This sure worked wonders as little Jasper kept wanting to come over to see me. I kept letting her...

Our little Filly is one week now. I have spent every day at least 2-3 times a day trying to get it used to me. She is doing all the baby things I would expect a baby horse to do such as nibbling and being curious. She also is starting to do little things that a big horse should never do.. back...

Beautiful little horses.

The waiting is so hard.

We did tonight. Jewel had her lips curled up not liking it so we gave her an apple afterwards. This was the Equimax this time as before it was just the plain Ivermectin. The plain apple flavored Ivermectin seems to go down well and they like it but Equimax probably taste like it smells..

Ok.. so I have somewhat of a question. We did not de-worm Jewel the day she foaled with her health situation. The vet said we should be good to wait for another two weeks but I am thinking not. I think she should be de-wormed now today and it is already 5 days since she foaled. Her tummy...

Not sure how to change my title. I looked for that option several times.

Oh wow.. he is looking so good! I need to figure out how to get my girls to lunge. I am needing someone to help. I've to try all the suggestions given so I know I will get there soon .. they just want to keep coming toward me and are not afraid of anything I do at all. I did start of jogging...

Oh what would we have done without the help and encouragement from this site. i have learned so much in a very short time. Thank you all. It has been of a great help to see so many pictures of the mares that were due and so close to foaling. It helped to have comments on the pictures we posted...

Awe these little foals are all just so amazing.

yes.. Jewel is doing so much better. She would like to have more apple juice water... she really loved that but she is drinking normal amounts now of plenty of fresh water.
