is it a bay called Morgan by any chance? I sold one to one of his daughter and she jumped him for a few years but then sold him to a fella named Robert Harrison who sold him again and he ended up in a dealers yard in Scotland , I did email them but never got an answer :( I lost track of him

what part of Longford are you from ? Im near Ballinalee ( Im English but lived here with my irish husband for over ten years)

vulvas relax and elongate in preparation for birth , it wouldnt be the first time a mare has produced a surprise foal :)

Im pretty sure he should wear a bridle but what the heck , if its an unaffiliated show put slip on him and go and have fun , you might ask the judge what the correct head gear is and get it for him later on

Im an obsessive collector with 26 miniature horses ( soon to be 28) , although I dont work and am lucky enough to be at home all day I live and breathe horses and talk of nothing else and youre right ...all my friends are into horses too oh and I suppose Im a BIT competitive too , I show quite...

did you go to the sale yet ? if these are mini shetlands you dont clip any of them but if theyre mini horses as a general rule you would just present the broodmares clean and tidy , make sure the feet are in good order , perhaps trim the hair from below the jawline , the show mares and spotty...

he looks buckskin to me too so Id call him Buck The Trend , nice boy ! a buckskin is a bay horse with a cream gene a bay dun is a bay horse with a dun gene (dorsal , face mask , leg barring etc)
