The Forum at The Mystical Mini- Here is a site that I hope everyone gets great use from! You can ask questions and get answers from other users about any aspect of owning miniature horses. Come join us!
Yellow House Ranch- On this site you will find foaling calculators, color calculators, and some great information on how to tell if your mare is close to foaling!
Scott Creek Farm- Ever wondered how to use the milk test strips? This site has a wealth of information on every single aspect of breeding, foaling, dystocias, etc. Even horse International Export laws. Very informative!
The Appaloosa Project- Thinking of breeding appaloosas? (yay spots!) Here is alot of information on coat color transmission, genetics, night blindness, etc. Don't search for appies until you've read it!
Reining-Appaloosa- This site is basically the same as the appaloosa project, with a little easier read. It's "Appies for Dummies" if you will. It also contains a bit more statistics, and actual breedings.
University of Missouri- This is a great site if you need to build a breeding chute, there are free plans. There is also information on the physiology of the mare and stallion.
Cole Parmer- Everyone asks me what milk testing strips I use. I try not to endorse anyone in specific, BUT, I hate to hear it when someone tells me that their foal predicting strips cost $40 for just 15 tests! I buy them here, they test for the exact same thing, and are equally as accurate.....and they are 100 tests for $50!
UC Davis- They offer genetic testing for the horses. Everything from DNA testing, coat color, and even a new Dun Zygosity test!
Ocean Fire Arts- Ok, this isn't exactly about the horse, but this lady is AMAZING. She sculpts, paints, and shows model horses......and she can replicate YOUR horse. Have a look!!
Equine Reproduction.com- EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about getting your mare bred and foaling. There is a forum to ask questions of professionals in equine reproduction, and the people there are very friendly and informative.
Everything About Breeding- Wow, is there really a site that has everything about breeding!?? YUP!
Surviving Foaling Season- You might not admit it, but it happens to the best of us. Some of us (certainly not me) have been acused of going a bit nutty and obsessive during foaling season. Here is a nice funny read to help you be more prepared this year!
Show Clipping your mini!! - This is a good "how to" article on clipping your horse for show.
