Unfortunately I’m at a boarding facility now and don’t have my own land to make alterations to. When I got them my home barn was at a location with no grass in any paddock and it was a non-issue, but last May we moved to a lovely new facility with great sprawling paddocks. They are in heaven...

Hey everyone, I have two mini mares and am looking for board in Guelph, Ontario or close to. Where we are right now has far too much grass for my guys in the summer months and one of my mares has foundered in the past. I’m looking for a spot that has a dry lot where they will be thrown hay as...

Thanks for checking into it for me!

She doesn’t have any socks but all her hooves are light coloured. The skin around her eyes has darkened as she’s aged, the most confusing thing is that she’s shedding out LIGHTER, almost completely white!

I wouldn’t mind I you shared at all! She actually has completely black skin with the only pink being her little star. As she continues to shed out, the hair is loosing almost all of her pigment all together she’s going to look white. Her dad was a flea bitten grey with dark brown eyes and her...

No! I pulled her mom out of a paddock with a little grey stud and about 6 mares, I was just looking for a companion horse that I could maybe learn to drive with and got very fortunate with little Cora! Her mom has excellent conformation and thankfully passed it on, they are going to look like...

Yes I do, here are a few

Hey guys, I have a 2 month old little palomino filly who is doing great! I am so very curious to see whether she will stay palomino or grey out, does anyone know if there is anything I should look for? Her dad was grey and her mom is bay so I have no clue if she inherited that grey gene or not...

LOL that is fantastic I'm sure she's loving every second! Bea is going on a DIET once Cora is weaned haha

This is so sweet, your three new additions deserve the best home <3 my philosophy is to always try and rescue first. How are they doing? Any baby yet? I brought my mini home in April and she just had her foal last Friday, It was all so exciting!

Pictures of Baby Cora on her very first day, her eyes are starting to darken up now but they were bright blue at first :)

Well the good news is that some mares don't show any signs of being pregnant until they're ready to deliver, and some mares won't foal until June or even July depending on when they caught! Just keep monitoring her and treating her like she is just in case. I only ever saw Bea's belly move...

I just need to get them from my phone to my computer haha, it may be later today

I've always fed hay directly on the ground, yes some will be wasted but usually its the lower quality stuff that they don't want anyway. I'd only go to the trouble of using a hay net if your horse needs it for some medical reason, otherwise the risk that they can get a foot caught is way to...

Hey Joanna, I was thinking the same thing with Bea. If you get a vet out, he may be able to do an ultrasound. My vet wasn't able to do it rectally but we were still able to see a bunch of fluid in her abdomen (which obviously if she hadn't been pregnant she would have been dead the next day)...

Hey Everyone, sorry I have been away for a little while but Bea had her foal!! Corona's Silver Lining (Cora for short) is a healthy and energetic little palomino filly! We are ecstatic, this little one brought so much joy with her :) photos to come soon

Thanks for the advice, I'm glad to hear you don't think her body condition will be an issue, she is overweight though, I'd put her at a 4+ on the BCS. I can barely feel her ribs and she has a nice big apple bum with fat pads over her kidneys and a slightly cresty neck. Her shoulders are still...

I was wondering about her belly, she isn't that wide and does have a nice thick covering of fat across her rib cage! Her belly is dropping and her back end does look looser, needless to say I am very anxious for her and have been examining her daily for signs of change

No she doesn't have any udder development at all though her vulva appears to be relaxing. Apparently two other minis at the farm she came from (same mini stud) have given birth in the past few weeks! Unfortunately one of the foals was still born and breech but the other is healthy and the birth...

Thanks Guys!
