No, a round bale does not work. I have two paddock areas with acorns. All the horses seem to like chowing down on them. I have a round bale out there for them, but they still eat the acorns. So are my dogs. Many in the two paddock areas have bad diarrhea. Nothing I can do but give them...

No, she is not triple registered. Her dam is AMHR and AMHA, and was never registered ASPC. Her sire is triple registered. I am not going to start showing AMHR again, I am a diehard AMHA person.

Yup :SoHappy

I need a new horse like I need a hole in my head. I am trying to down size here. But, with the thought of always improving my breeding program....... This little filly was posted on FB. I thought WOW, and I went onto their web site. WOW WOW WOW. I emailed them for pictures and I liked...

Such a cutie. They are so darn cute, but suffer so much. Sorry for your loss

There is a form of Dwarfism that gets more obvious as they get older. Einstein is following that look as he ages. Bear Branch Painted Feather is his sire, who is out of a well known stallion.

I bought two Buddy Slow Feeders for round bales. Used one to see how I liked it. I just LOVE it. The horses figure out how to use it pretty fast and it keeps them occupied all day, yet they do not over eat and no waste. I ordered two more.

OK, I said I would post my little boy. He is over 5 months here. The girl holding him is 5.3 and weighs 106lbs.

I am afraid I know someone well known who had 5 mares abort shortly after giving the shot as well as a top breeder who's stallion went sterile after receiving the shot. All miniature horses. not all are going to react in this way, and I guess it is a game of roll-et. Sometime someone will...

Today these people posted Einstein in bed with them. They are so poorly portraying what a Miniature horse is and how to take care of one. More and more people will want to buy these tiny little cutes, thinking that they can keep them as house pets. Remember the Pot Belly Pigs? It will just...

I placed a 7 year old unregistered mare with a family who had an older horse and wanted company for him. They had her for several days, then took her into the vets for shots. He gave her the combination shot and 3 days later they came outside to see her staggering around. Then when they...

Just Rena I got you beat, my 5 month old colt I can pick up easily and I am 61 and 5.5, won't mention my weight .LOL

In one of the other discussions I removed the picture, but you can see many on his FB web site. I also agree that he is not that small as the man has picked him up and he looks pretty big. I have a foal right now who is only 19+ inches tall and about 35 lbs at 5 months. His dame is 33.5" tall...

If you go one FB and go to Einstein, smallest horse and scroll down, you can see some pictures of him taken in March. I can only imagine what he looks like now, I can not see AMHA ever letting him keep his papers when they are brought permanent. Perfect Miniature horse? I do not think so...

I t is not that unusual for a baby to have locking stifles or clicking stifles. Sometimes they are growing faster then their joints can keep up. Give him lots of room to move around, do not lock him in a stall. Good chance he will outgrow it.

MadMax. you do not have any idea what a wooly coat is until you have had a mini in MN. LOL Down here they get winter coats, but OMG in MN you can not tell what they are For years I used to say you could not tell conformation under all that hair. Many people argued with me until I posted a...

It takes a couple of years for a horse to acclimate to a new climate. If you look up and read about coat growth, you will find that the change in the amount of light a day is what triggers winter coat growth. There is also some thought that a horse born and raised in Florida never really...

I have said this over and over again. In the large horse world, we always said that the mare was 70% of the foal. I have always strived to keep the best mares. In cutting back , I have sold off good mares, but have kept better ones, with the traits that I want in a future horse. The mares I...

It is the amount of daylight they get a day that trigers the winter hair growth. If you had them in a stall with a light over their stall that went on at 6:00 in the AM and did not go off till 9:00 PM, they would not grow their winter coats. Just putting a blanket on them will not stop the...

Around here there are people who breed every year their junk, then sell them for next to nothing. I saw one farms horses and almost every one of them was a dwarf or had dwarf characteristics and all had feet and leg problems. But when people come out to my home, they are amazed that there were...
