    What's your best weight loss advice?

    I've uses Thyrol L on a few of mine that needed to lose weight. Under vet advice and not long term. It may make them hungrier tho. When stopping you have to ease them off it, not stop suddenly.

    Billy

    I would start with an Epsom salt soak. Try both feet if you can. Then if you have a good farrier, give him or your vet a call for advice. If it is an abscess, when they "blow" it is immediate relief .

    I agree. I also miss the "old" members that posted when I was "new". This used to be my only social media group and it was very active. I think the availability of other social media and information online has put a crimp on forums.

    Is it possible to get all the loose hair off your shedding mini?

    I doubt it! I usually give up and clip as soon as it's warm enough. I do have one that sheds like a big horse and she is done about the time the others get clipped.

    Mini hoof changes

    It's my understanding that horses show body "trauma " in their feet. The tooth issues, diet changes, meds and stress all go to the feet. It takes about a year for a completely new hoof to grow out. If you look up near her coronary band they it look healthy. Keep the coronary band healthy &...

    Stall Cameras?

    I don't know what kind it is. We had a local security company install it. This is our 2nd camera upgrade in 10 years. It has a DVR to record also and we use a flat screen TV to hook into. The cameras are very sharp and cover a wide angle. They ran a cable to the barn (hooked to the existing...

    Stall Cameras?

    You need a monitor or TV to hook into. Save a headache and have a professional security team come out & do it for you. We can see most of our property with cameras. It's peace of mind, and I love to watch the horses anytime I want.

    Frog and Dog

    Decoupage fabric over plastic figure. I Love the frog, not wild about the dog. I should have painted the dog white 1st. The black base skewed the color of the fabric.

    A problem horse

    Is this behavior new or has he always been like this? If it is new, I'd start with a complete vet check. Horses in pain can exhibit aggressive behavior.

    Items for keeping minis on your property for the first time

    The only thing I could add is have a separate stall in your shelter to lock up sick or injured horses. Good Luck! Having them home is the best!
