Chivoville - our little place on the edge of the desert...

[frustratedearthmother]

My mini's have been totally healthy except for their feet. They can founder on grass alone. Last year my youngest mare had a problem with founder. I was extremely worried, but found a good farrier and she's fine now. This year, I've got them in a small area and their access to spring grass will be limited.

I know that some have really bad teeth, but except for one slightly crooked tooth on my older mare, that has never caused a problem, we haven't had any issues with their teeth.

We've had no colic, no birthing problems at all. Mine are little stinkers though. One day they love me and the next day I'm the boogie man, lol!

So sorry about Rusty!

It is unfortunate that things have slowed down some for ya, and ya are missing the aid of the DH there. Life seems to enjoy throwing curve balls at us all and over the span of years, many adjustments are made. There are many here that are standing in those "Shoes", so ya are certainly among company here. We support, encourage, and push each other and are understanding to the many situations that can and will occur from time to time. Ya never know just how helpful ya can be to another with your experiences and knowledge gathered thru the years, so tho ya may not have a ton of things going on each day....you are Valuable....and we sure enjoy the company....
