She has a cuter run mode than my little Wiseguy who really should stick to trotting
Help Support Miniature Horse Talk Forums:
She's been living in the big yard for 2 nights now. Not enough grass for her not to stay in there. She got used to me putting on her halter from the days of walking her out there, first few days she didn't wanna have it put on, now she comes running when she hears it jingle. She's very hyper and feisty.

She is looking great!!! She looks as if she has filled out since you first brought her home you are doing a wonderful job with her! Looks as if your property is out in the pretty part of C-pep! Reminds me of where my minis came from in Madison!!!!
She nipped me the other day, just missed her with a heel kick behind me. She's too fluffy to feel a crop anyway...lol. But I knew she was building up to it, just a couple days early, lol. I'm watching her now a bit extra. She's so playful and all over the place! =D
I'll have to get my crop out of the barn and carry it with me. She comes trotting over every time she sees me open the gate, it's so cute. Then we trot around, I go feed/water everyone and then more trotting around before I leave.
Snow is coming, up to 15+ inches, most likely far less, but who knows. Got one of the old trough heaters working. Have it in the shallow 50gal trough so sheep and horses can use it. Still need to buy a new one for the 100g horse trough before I lock out the big pony. Kasia is still living full time in the backyard, started getting the other strip ready, but then this snow storm crept up. Going to have to wait until it passes to finish. Also have to redo the hot wires over the gate, so Kasia can come into the backyard w/o being led through the Pony's pasture. She and him sniffed by the gate, mare could care, darned, less. Lol, she is so w/e about her! Going to let her in again sometime soon, maybe tomorrow if it isn't too crazy cold and miserable out!
Had two rabbit mom's give birth, 10 and 6 kits. Lilacs and maybe blues, if not blue, then black. So excited to see them grow up! One more doe is due on the 19th! Can't wait to see what she has.
If you guys want baby bunny pics, let me know and I'll post them.

Awwww, what a sweet picture!!! Your bunnies are such a pretty color!!!
Pictures say more than words-
Also had 4 guinea pigs born to two moms last month.
But I did notice a downed sheep tonight, going to have to look her over better tomorrow. She's 11 this year, so being anything but typical makes me worry like nuts.

Bully was panting today while trying to sleep on the deck. Nearly 2ft of snow and she's hot...lol. Snow eating helped.
Big pony can lift about 100 pounds with his teeth. I always stop and watch him when he decides to chat and sniff the mini. So far he's been good. Mare could care less about her. She might sniff in her direction every few days, but other than that, she has no interest in making friends or making enemies.
Started giving her a bit of grain and shredded hay cubes, since all the grass is now near impossible for her tiny face to reach!

She's got an odd belly I don't like, been like that this whole time, though. Sometimes she kicks at it, she'll suck it up when I rub under her belly, too.
Winter is still here, no one's shedding yet. Had a lamb born, though. Two others are due soon.
Fenced off the pony's pasture to contain the sheep in it instead like I do every year. They'll lamb in there, once the babies are bigger and quicker, I take the temp fence out and lock the pony up instead.
I let the mini in there and she jumped the 2ft fence w/o issues, dogs spooked her and she jumped back in. Probably should of finished adding a top strand to make it taller before she was let in, but ah well...She was very happy to explore a new area.

I would be very cautious about using a hay net.Had to cut a horse out of one at the state fair.He got his feet into it and twisted around and had to cut him out of it.Never used 1 since.I use hay bags that have a large hole in them and hang them high enough to avoid feet.Or use a hay rack with a feed trough under it.Minis are great at getting into things they shouldn't.
Pony always rips open the bigger ones [with his teeth or he paws at it and purposefully gets his foot in there to rip the net open], so now I use these. I can see it from the house, she hardly eats from it, more of a butt scratcher to her than food source. She still doesn't think of hay as food either.
Starting to shed! She takes 3 bites of hay, makes faces, paws it and then leaves...She doesn't seem to understand horse-personal space, mare had to nip her a few times before she figured out to keep some space between them.
