Cowboy Dad,

Since you are just up the road (in relative terms) I thought I would share a California link for minis.

http://www.miniaturehorsefarmsdirect...cat=1&subcat=5

I've watched several minis foal in the last week on Marestare, but most of them have been back east. They sure seem to have an easier time than full-sized mares (and so much quicker, < 15 mins in several instances!), but when things go wrong, it's just as ugly.

And I can really see how addicting it would be.

Go here: http://www.mulligansrun.com/FoalingDates2007.html and scroll down to the bottom. Despite what the address says, this is THIS years crop of foals. Scroll down to the very bottom of the page and watch the videos. Shannon playing with the babies. It's soooooo cute!

Okay the pictures have been moved, they are now at: http://www.mulligansrun.com/FoalPage2008.html There is a 3rd video that is really special too. Check it out!
