My new Minis

RocknmNubians · 04-15-2008, 12:20 PM

I was given these two girls they are 28 in tall and in great shape. I just lost my mini stallion that was a TWIN to the paint. It feel great to have minis again I have miss them so very much. The lady that owned them has become very sick and need to find them a good home. I just cant thank her enough for these sweet little girls.

I have had my mini for 2 1/2 years now and I just love him to death. Your girls are so cute - I think Mommy needs to put them on a bit of a diet tho. When I first got mine I didn't realize how little it takes them to get fat and my vet told me it was very bad for his health. So as much as I hated to = I have to keep him in the round pen all day and then out with the big horses at night. He's down to a much healthier weight now. You must be enjoying them so much!

What little cutie-pies. Congrats on the new girls. NAMES???? I also agree on the diet...

Wow

, You're going to be busy, did I see this morning that you'd been given two Arabians as well.

Makes me look a mug for paying for a horse

How adorable...they're so tiny!

Not that you asked, BUT a great, inexpensive thing to help them shed a little weight is Apple Cider Vinegar. It helps their body flush fat and keeps bugs away. My little guy got 1/4 c. of low starch feed and the a.c.v. and it really made a difference. Just wanted to share...

Good luck w/ your girls...they are precious!

The girls are cuties. Just love bugs they are, good luck and have fun. are you going to teach them to drive a little cart?

Lil Bits · 04-16-2008, 07:48 PM

I don't mean to upset or offend but I think they might be dwarf minis. Dwarf minis sometimes look fatter than regular horses. Plus with the hair they can look fatter than they actually are. They are cute dwarf or not.

Congratulations! They are pretty.

I'm sorry to hear about their owner. It was nice of her to think of you.

2manyminis · 05-12-2008, 10:02 PM

Agreed on the dwarf issue. They both show lots of signs of it- I hope they aren't bred, and I hope you don't plan on breeding! Folks are going to argue & say because they are so small they look stumpy, but I have a 28 inch gelding & he has normal legs. Not to offend anyone, but please look it up.

Congrats on your new additions! They are little cuties! I just love the little guys! Have 3 of my own.
