    mare in foal or not

    I would say it is possbile that she is in foal. Some mares "wink" for reasons other than being in season. I would take her out of the pasture with your stallion as either she might injure him. I have heard, don't know if it is true, that some stallions don't like to be in the company of mares...

    Gas Colic in Gelding

    I am talking about eating the poo when he was stalled for the colic, He has it gone before you could get to the barn to shovel! As to lunging him, we do walk him but with snow and ice on the ground lunging him isn't a possibility.

    Gas Colic in Gelding

    I have a gelding who doesn't drink a lot of water and when the weather is colder even though he has a heated bucket to keep the water from freezing he drinks even less. I thought that perhaps giving him beet pulp shreds that was really well soaked with water would help his water intake. We...

    I am guessing you meant AMHR show? What a great idea! I would love to see it also, even if it wasn't all the days but at least showing all the classes.

    Few questions??

    It isn't just a kick that you have to be worried about, sometimes they all get to running and the poor little guy will get bowled over and injured by your biggies! I would err to the side of caution, the two sizes simply don't mix.

    Luxurious manes and tails!

    On my Arabians I used to use mane and tail conditioner (the leave in kind) then braid the tails coil them up and wrap them with guardtex a breathable self sticking type of wrap. We didn't take them down that often and never had a problem with that. These horses were always stalled (a boarding...

    To Shave or Not to Shave that is the question...

    I have always clipped my horses muzzles (both big and little horses); I also do bridle paths. I never clip eyelashes, just the long whisker like hairs under their eyes. I leave ears until just before a show and that is the only time I do ears. In the winter I tend not to clip anything, even...

    Large horse to mini horse trailer conversions

    My very talented husband made wood dividers for mine to make my two horse slant load and three mini slant load. All can be removed to allow it to be returned to it's original condition should we ever want to sell it. I will post pictures once the snow lets up and I can get to the back door.

    Ageing pony by teeth

    I agree with Supaspot I still think she is a baby. Tooth color and angle, length of tail and body type.

    Ageing pony by teeth

    I am going to say less than 2 years old but it is hard to tell without seeing a view of the chewing surface of the teeth

    Parade

    You know had thought about doing our parade her in town but there is a you must pick up your own poop thing (kind of tough when you are driving). And I hadn't even thought about having to cross the railroad tracks, twice in making the loop around. Although I guess if we could cross them once I...

    Stupid Old AMHR Breeder

    Just wanted to echo the sentiments of a couple of people who have posted. And, add my 2cents worth!Q A little background: I got into miniatures in 2007 after my husband had a major heart attack and we decided that we really preferred the little guys over their full size counterparts and...

    Registration Questions

    Well we decided that this endeavor was not for us. I would much rather buy one quality mare from someone who's ducks are already in a row than try to line up someone elses three ducks to do them a favor. I wished them well with their sale but told them since they were unable to show me the...
