It's pretty awful to see. I was so curious about it though. I had to tear open the sack to examine her.

Thank you. My vet looked at the photos I took of the baby (such an awful thing to have stored on your phone but i thought it might be important to show him) and he immediately observed that the cord was very twisted. The poor little filly didnt have a chance. He gave me instructions for watching...

Hey all, this is a little last minute so you might not have time to weigh in, but my mare just miscarried her foal at 8 months and I am hauling her to the vet this afternoon for a check up. What questions do I need to ask and what tests/exams do I really need to push for? This would have been...

Luckily he seemed to regret it, because he ran back in as soon as I opened the gate!

Since I don't really ride in the winter, I sacrificed my round pen panels to put together a turnout paddock for the minis. As I was doing some non-horse chores, I looked over and didn't see Walter, my 7 month old chubby colt. I thought "wow that little stinker is really camouflaged" and went...

I had literally forgotten about the hormones! You're so right. Good reminder!

Thank you very much everyone! I have to admit I sort of forgot about the boy hormones that will be showing up in him. I've been thinking of him like he's already a gelding! I think I will definitely try to enjoy his calm and obedient nature for as long as I can! Lol.

This question is about mini horse personalities, dispositions, and moods. My little stud Walter is almost 6 months old and the little guy just seems sort of world-weary. He has zero health problems and grows like a weed, but he just doesn't seem excited about life. He's exceptionally obedient...

Always glad to show and tell my critters! ;). Here are some pics of Taffy (mom) and Walter (colt, DOB 5/2/21) as well as their friend Ruby a Welsh Pony who is currently babysitting Walter through the weaning process. He is only 4.5 months but the vet said it was time, as he has a mouthfull of...

Wow, the difference is amazing! I hope my Walter grows a tail like THAT someday!

Beautiful! Looks like he has some dappling too. I love that!

Thanks so much for this info! With my goats, they definitely show their mineral deficiencies with their hair bleaching - hasn't thought to wonder if that was true for horses. I have a buckskin who gets really coppery in her mane and take and this has made me want to investigate whether her...

Wow, thank you so much for sharing the pics! Amazing how much he has changed. He's been beautiful in all stages! That chocolate brown, though - How gorgeous!

Oh, and yes he does have striped hooves!

One pic of his sire, then two pics from when he was two weeks old, with his dam. Thank you! And yes he does have striped hooves!

Does anyone have a real life example of a foal's flaxen or white mane/tail changing color as they shed out? My colt was born looking palamino and his body is now darkening. I was brushing his tail and noticed the hair close to the tailbone is dark. Is there a chance of his mane and tail...

The mini on the left in your profile pic is what people tell me Walter will probably grow up to look like!

Hi everyone! Not only am I new to miniature horses, I am new to forums/message boards. They always come up in my Google searches about stuff but I've never thought to actually join one! I am here to learn as much as I can from other mini folks. Thank you for having me! In June of this year, we...
