PlayTime Minis - Finished for 2013; See you in 2014

[AnnaC]

She is sooooooooooooooo gorgeous!! And much better to keep her safe as a family pet than to risk trying to breed from her - well done you!!

 

[Gone_Riding]

She's adorable! I've never seen a mini that small before that was full grown!

So what are we making today dad?

This is just totally and utterly adorable! She is such a sweet heart. Thanks for sharing her

 

[MountainWoman]

Thank you Ladies. We absolutely adore her. Viola, I have a 24" boy who is going to be out and about showing this season with his trainer. Now he's tiny

Should have clipped photos of him to post soon if you'd like to see him.

 

[Eagle]

Of course we want to see him

in fact I can't wait

I love the little ones. I thought my stallion was small at 27"

 

[MountainWoman]

Here's a photo of him at his trainer's. I always think minis and children are the best combination.



When I got formal photos, I'll share. He'll be at the Ohio show in May.

He looks like a cuddly panda

What a sweetheart!! Soooooo tiny and a great picture of him and the little girl!

Can't wait to see him clipped and ready to go!

 

[lexischase]

I have always loved teeny tiny Adriel! Cant wait for clipped photos of the little man!

You gotta remember to share pics of that little guy and let us all know how he does at the show

exciting time. And you got a great trainer there too

 

[cassie]

oh my gosh they are both so adorable and tiny! I thought my boy was small at 29" lol I was wrong hehe.

 

[MountainWoman]

Thank you Ladies. And I agree Lori, Danielle is awesome! I have another boy with her who is going to the Spring Fling this month but he's about 30" but I think he's beautiful too.

Nothing up here with the ladies.

One other question. One of the 15 year old mares I have (Silver) appears to be a maiden. Her papers were never brought current from 1998 so she still has temporary papers. I spoke with AMHA and I can still bring them current but definitely no record of her having babies. Would someone have a registered mare and then have non registered babies or should I assume she's a 15 year old maiden? If she is a maiden at her age, do I have special concerns?

Thanks for all your help!!!

 

Since you don't know, I would just consider her a maiden. If you put her in foal, we'll probably know once we see her carrying baby -- whether she is maiden or not.

At 15 she should do just fine even as a maiden. I had one girl here once who as a 13 year old maiden when she foaled, and she did just fine. Just all the "maiden" rules apply -- tucked up and tight fit!

Diane, I purchased her already bred and she is due this summer and doesn't look very pregnant at all. Thank you for the info. That helped ease my mind.

If you want to see what a tucked up maiden looks like, check my On Target Miniatures thread for pics of Dancer. Note especially the photo I posted recently of her grooming our other pregnant mare Toffee. You may also notice from the posts how frustrating maidens can be!!!

We had a mare who was 12 when she had her first foal. She was a show mare before then.She did great and was a wonderful mother too so loving to her babies.

She has gone to a new home in MO where she is competing on the National level in draft classes and halter. So she found a home where she is cherished.

Raven did it and on my Sister's birthday no less

Introducing a jet black filly (no white on her anywhere) so adorable and wobbly on her tiny legs. Pictures don't do her justice as it was dark and I had lights on in the barn but she's true jet black and so petite. I'll try to get better photos later.

Thank you everyone for your help!!!!!

And a question, I tried to put her foal jammies on her but it really distressed Raven. How do you manage to make Mom okay with her baby wearing blankets? And name suggestions are welcome. I'm so excited and Raven did a great job!!!

And, yes, she's back to eating right away.

Congratulations on a beautiful filly! I hadn't read your thread yet - so willhave to go look at other pics and names before I can suggest any...

I can't answer the blankie question. The only foal we had that was blanketed was out of an Arab mare that had been shown extensively herself (clipped and blanketed) and wasn't a problem. I've got shetland/mini foal blankies but they haven't seen any use yet, LOL.

 

[Eagle]

Congratulations, she is adorable

I am so glad that all went well

Come on, give us all the details, when where how....

If you need to put some pj's on her you can try rubbing them all over mum first so they have her smell.

I can't wait for more pics, she is so dainty and adorable
