    wash rack

    This is old post, I know, but where we board our guys there are only full size wash racks on cement. Our geldings can’t use them and move around and slide on the cement even if we put a rubber mat down. They move around way more than the mat size. They tend to tear when held n a lead, then slip...

    Anyone from Northeast Tennessee here?

    We’ve been thinking of retiring with our 2 geldings to the Tri Cities area of Tennessee from California. I’m not seeing much about horses there, let alone minis. Is there anyone in the group that lives out that way that I could ask some questions of? TIA

    Stall questions

    Yes, Thank you! We board our 2 guys and one has taken to dumping his bucket over when left on the ground even when snapped to a wire panel. We’ve been hanging it by the handle to the wire panel in 2 places to avoid this. The idea of keeping one bucket inside the other was intriguing as a means...

    Stall questions

    I’m trying to envision your water buckets. With ours i use a snap to fasten the bucket handle to the welded wire panel behind. So, you place the next size down bucket inside the larger one— then would you use a snap to fasten the smaller one’s handle to the welded wire too? And you fill up the...

    Halters

    So sorry… that horse isn’t mine. It’s from the Starpoint Horsrmanship site. On our guys the noseband is baggy. We’re do I start pulling to make it smaller?

    Halters

    I have some mini rope halters from Starpoint Horsemanship but they’re a bit large all around. Any tips you can give me for making them smaller?

    Ration Balancer

    So are you saying you combined a senior AND a rational balancer for the little ones? My geldings are just 2, about 200 lbs ea and 33”. Can you tell me the amounts you’d give? I’ve been giving .375 lbs ea of the purina pony and mini. Since I have a lot of it, I guess I’d very gradually transition...

    Ration Balancer

    My vet told me to stay with Purina Mini and pony feed till they’re about 3. Said they need the nutrition to grow. Does ration balancer have nutrients to grow also? But without the sugar? Call nfused here🙃

    Ration Balancer

    My geldings are 2, so they’re not fully grown yet. At what age is everyone changing from a feed to a balancer.?

    I hope they’re just playing...

    Darling! Looks pretty familiar to me. People always say something when they mount each other, but it’s really just them playing and asserting dominance. Funny— early on our younger one wasn’t getting the mounting quite right— he’d mount the other perpendicularly across his back🤣

    I hope they’re just playing...

    Ours were gelded about 3 months apart. The 1st one had complications due to the vet hurting the carotid artery when she tried to sedate him. He jumped and she missed. Ends up he’ll never be able to have anything done on that side again. We changed vets after that. When he wasn’t feeling very...

    I hope they’re just playing...

    These are our two colts when they were around the age of yours. They were gelded at 1 yr and continue to play rough now that they’re almost 2. Very fun to watch. Sometimes they rear like below and completely miss the other one. But they love grooming each other and are very bonded. They e been...

    Please help...extremely overweight mini!

    I’m curious what age horse you’re referring to. I have 2 yearlings and since they’re growing was advised to feed Purina Mini and Pony feed along with about 5 lbs of Timothy grass per day each. As they’re not growing as rapidly I’m concerned about giving them so much. Any input on when to back...

    Hello and wishing all a better 2021!

    Welvome Welcome from So Cal! We have a Bobs hauler for our two 18 mo old, recently gelded boys. We board and haven’t had them in the hauler yet. Been kinda wary of putting them on the ramp. How did your two take to it? Any problems backing them out?

    What do you put your hay in for your mini?

    I have 2 like new Mini Hay Pillows available to sell if you’re interested. I’ve decided not to use them with our two weanlings. I’d take $40 each, including shipping. I had to pay tax and shipping, so it’s a great deal! Here’s what they are:
