HORSE question!

[katie_]

Anyone here have horses? I have a few questions if you could please pm me.

I don't currently, but have in the past. How breed specific are your questions?

 

[katie_]

Miniature horse. So not really breed specific. Just basics.

 

[marauderhex]

Do you have A) a horse domicile (a place for it to crash), B) a big, fenced in area for it to roam around and graze, C) a good supplier of quality hay and grains, and D) A big shovel and a strong back?

If you have all of those, you are ready for a horse. You can pick up anything else once you have it.

I already have one. Im currently looking for a place to board him.
I just need to know what I should look for, and what to expect.

 

[marauderhex]

That, I actually can't attest to as I never boarded my horses. I'd imagine that you'd look for a place with a good reputation, and has a nice facility that they are willing to let you see all of.

How would you recommend transporting a horse thats never been moved before?

 

[marauderhex]

Trailer where they have room to stand, no turning or anything, don't want them sliding all around and twisting/breaking an ankle/leg.

 

[katie_]

So I'll need to rent the smallest one possible. Would you recommend I wrap his legs?

 

[marauderhex]

Can't hurt.

Katie, I realize this post is about a month old, but I actually was born and raised on a horse farm, grew up riding and training horses, and still have them. If you have any questions feel free to message me, I have dealt with my fair share of minis and one of my good friends actually breeds them.
