- Our Miniature Horse Had Surgery
Today was a sad day on the homestead for Eddie. It was time to take him in to get castrated so we don't have two studs on the homestead. Miniature animals may be small but they are just has tough as the big ones. Building a homestead from scratch.

Ransom said just give him a call and next time and he’ll rope that pony up for ya 😉 🤠
😂
Too funny
That’s right!!! Ransom can seriously do some roping!!! God bless to both of you wonderful families!!!
Getty Up Ransom!!
I'm so happy you did the safe and responsible thing and had Eddy castrated. He'll be much easier to train and be around now.Big👍
Please watch some steve young horsemanship videos. He even has some on small horses. He is really kind to horses but he understands how their brains work. You will learn so much and your wee horses will be more fun.
After Eddie heals up you might notice that he's a bit calmer and might be a little easier to handle.
Pit rope around hips whil holding end connected to halter n then that makes it easier to guide him where you want...
@@karenmrugacz8764 Yeah,that'll work really for young horses which Eddie is. Very Very Green.
You can’t be afraid of them they can sense it an be more likely to kick an act up just be careful
Extra food and treats for EDDIE, he deserves it
I still find it funny that you have to load up your large animals and take them to the Vet. Here in Pennsylvania our large animal Vets come right to the farm. They don’t even have offices except their truck .
That was so cute how Eddie and Chief were talking to each other. They'll stay good friends now. They won't be fighting over mares. Poor little guy. But Chief seemed to want to check out the Vet's work. 😄🥰
I noticed right away when the vet got Eddie to lay down that his testicles hadn’t dropped. I don’t know if it’s the same with horses but I had a little dog with undescended testicles and my vet said it could cause testicular cancer if I didn’t have him neutered.
Poor Eddie . Chief was happy to see Eddie . Heal fast buddy
Poor Eddie. Glad he did well. Hopefully he will heal up great. ❤
Poor Eddie. He will be calmer now
Brandi, this is for you. You need to be in there every day, probably twice a day, working with those horses. You wanted them for pets, and now you have to put in the work to make them pets. Don't be afraid of them, you need to take control and show them what you expect from them. They will come around, but it takes work every day....even if its just 15 or 20 minutes. Halter them, brush them, walk them, and teach them manners. You will be so happy in the end if you put in the work to make them great family pets.
Love your channel Dutch. Thank you.
Your welcome 🤗
Your welcome 🤗 i love your new videos keep it up making more new videos 😍😘
Thank you for sharing.
Hey y’all
I have a tip for loading and unloading. Back up into the little ditch where the trailer will be lower. My daddy loaded a pony into the back of his truck to move it. Backed in to a ditch walked right in.
God bless y’all and your homestead. Thanks for sharing.
🙋🏻♀️♥️🇺🇸
Hope Eddie heals up quickly! 😊
Hopefully Eddie will calm down now!
Straw in his lean-to so he don't get it dirty please check on tetnis shot also.
I've always been able to catch my hard headed horses using a apple as a lure for them
You need a ramp for your trailer for when the miniature horses get in and out . Bet you could build a sturdy one
Clinton Anderson Downunder Horsemanship. We've used that with our remuda for 20 years.
Eddy should really settle down now. I remember when the vet came and did 25 baby bulls. I watched one and off I went. I couldn't handle watching it. We banded our goats. But right now my thoughts are poor Eddy he is going to be sore.
Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm
Poor Eddie
It's called a halter 😁
Poor little feller. He’ll be a lot better though. Just the thought of him being sore. I miss my horses! 💖🇺🇸
Good job, Dutch and Brandy! Prayers for quick recovery for Eddie! Glad he's doing well. Love your videos and content. ❤💜❤💜
For the first time watching your video I was like 😤😤😲😲🙄
Leave halter in and have a bit of rope hanging if it is it's easier to catch him , until he gets used to it,
Put rope behind there butt to push them along
Never pull them
You can also get an anti raring but for them to stop him from rare up, .
Just watch some utube videos .keep close to there butt so that they can't kick you
Dont show fear as they know it
Dnt swim rope around in the air as it frightened them
Tap it around his legs rub it over his body , face ,et so that they get used to it
Love you guys HERVEY BAY QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA
Hope this message meets you in good health? What a beautiful and radiant smile you got. Pardon my guts for intruding into your comment how are you doing?
You mean get his (Halter) on so you can lead him.
Halters are put on to lead them m when up close work , like going thru gate or into trailer or stable hold lead in your main hand n then hold the halter at the horses cheek n close to your body comfortably. Then going thru gate would have been almost as easy as going thru alone !!! It also can take a few months for him to gentle down ...watch daily n if you got good memory of past habits you will see the subtil changes n then over time some of those get more pronounced !!!
*Rig up some sort of a wide ramp for the animals to go & out of the trailer. Less stress on the animals legs etc and also saves your back lifting/hauling them in and out of the trailer.*
There’s a learning curve in loading stubborn horses.
🇦🇺You need a loading crush chute that you can herd the pony into closing the gate behind him. Will make taking animals to the vet easier. You could also pull the trailer up to it and feed the animals in or near the trailer.
nah now gelded they will be able to work and get him halter broke much easier and better. Will take about a month for all the testosterones to drop in his body. They did good getting him into a trailer for not being halter broke. Need to tie him to something very sturdy with a quick release knot and stay by in case he gets himself into trouble, make him stand there for 30 min to teach himself to give into the lead rope and halter pressure till he stands quietly. All of our horses are trained to stand tied that way and to stand ground tied without hobbles. Be sure to tie him up higher so he can not drop his head down and get a foot in the lead rope causing an accident.
Stallions can be really mean so it is better to have him trimmed.🥶🥶🤠🤠❤❤🐎🐎
You should have a corral to put him in that is small making it easier
Great job catching Eddie. Pray that he does well after the surgery. Chief had to check him out. The pigs look like they're doing good. Take care and stay safe out there. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
Hope this message meets you in good health? What a beautiful and radiant smile you got. Pardon my guts for intruding into your comment how are you doing?
He will be fine after a bit. He is a cutie. I love miniature horses.
Please watch farm on route 66. They have a very nice corner set up to get halters on. Much safer for your family. They can be petted and get to know people aren't gonna hurt them. Give it a try. Watch them.
Dad, that step to far down. Carry me.
Hi Dutch and Brandi Great video Hopefully Eddie heals well and becomes more gentle. God bless and love yall ❤️❤️
❤️
Getting him cut Will be the best thing. It'll calm him down and if he's not for breeding stock then it's best for both you and him
I can't believe how outraged some of these people are when they're not in your position yet. They want to tell you how to live your life and take care of your animals which you love. Shame on them
To get Eddie to accept haltering catch him and tie a rope around his neck. Have some treats on hand and take the halter off, rub him with the halter and praise him. Slip the halter on him and give him a treat and praise him. Repeat this procedure until he accepts the halter without fighting you.
I have used this method on horses that have been abused and it works.
You should have a ramp for them to get in and out of the trailer..we always had one.
They were probably really confused when they were being separated and were missing one another-please don’t ever separate them ❤️
❤️🐴
Run Eddie , 😮
Dutch it's up to you all I love your videos and how your processing God bless your family
These things have to be done. Thanks for sharing. Chris from England
I would leave the halter on Eddie. In the fall the hoves will stop growing so they can get the winter coat on the hoves will restart growing in the spring when they start shedding.
🤠 🐴 ✂️ 👍🏼
Just don’t rope your kids 🙃
🤣
No joke lol
Dutch, you do a great Whinny! People would think you're a horse 🐎🐴 if they didn't know better 😅. Hidden talent right there 👍
You might should have held off on the horses until you moved into the house. They are cute
Yay Eddy, you are a champ
To help reduce swelling walk him a couple hours every day to work it out. I will also teach him to be more comfortable with halter and working. with you.
Eddy walked on a lead, before this day. you did the right for Eddy, he will become more positive to commands, as most male animals.
Eddie's Head dropped when He saw His. Bro,"They Cut Me".
He will be better for it 💝.
JO JO IN VT 😆💕🍁💨
LAVENDER TWIGS OR SPRIGS EITHER MIXED IN WITH YOUR NESTING BOXES HWLPS CALM THE HENS.
🤠
A dog and pony show without the Dog. A few minutes of entertainment and giggles. I have never roped a horse. So I should not be a judge of your talents But it provide a few moments of glee for me.
Shorten that lead Dutch yes put straw or shavings down. dad never used his horse box without floor covering. Plus Dutch please don’t walk behind the pony they do have a powerful kick although they are small little loves. Lol normally they do that in the stable that’s how vet done it. Too ours ….. I wished. You had a run up
On your. Horse box. Just. Hold him shorter. Bless him
Pity you haven’t a stable or penn him off
OUCH!!!!
I would leave the halter on Eddie, since he is so hard to catch. Get him used to wearing it and the kids will be able to take them out of the pen walk them around to get what ever goodies/ brush they can find.
Eddie will be a lot nicer
Well you have one stud horse and you may want to read up on how to deal with a stud they can become a biter and it's normal thing too.
Your very smart so I know you will deal with them .
God bless y'all
I think roping Eddy may have helped convinced him who the boss is. And you made him go through the gate. It will take maybe a month for the hormones to subside he will be a nicer boy.
It’s really easy for people to tell them what they are doing wrong. They are learning how to best take care of the horses. They don’t need to be judged on everything. If you have mean things to say about how they are doing things stop talking 💩about them. They are doing what is best for the horse that simple .Shawn,Brandy keep making great content. I enjoy your family,channel ❤️🙏👍🐴🙏❤️
Most of their TH-cam family really love Dutch and his 4 girls. When many of us post it is because we care. These folks are like family to thousands of people. It might appear that we are critical but many of their followers are experienced in whatever project they are working on at the time. What they did with Eddie was difficult to watch but anyone who has owned horses understands how important gelding a stallion for safety’s sake is. Most male animals…..bulls, boors, roster’s, Tom cats, dogs, buck deer, bears, etc can be aggressive. They did the difficult but right thing with Eddie. We owned horses but sold them when our children went to college, as both of us can no longer ride. Putting hints on their page isNOT criticism but caring.❤️❤️❤️
@@lindajohnson7838 I agree
he will be much easier to handle in a few weeks
Please don’t leave the halters on them. They can injure themselves sometimes badly when left on. Just saying this as you are new to the little ones. I have had many horses over the years. Practice taking them off and on. Leading them. Great job 👏🏻
My grandson is 8 and has just started roping lessons about two months now, that is not an easy sport. You did good Dutch.
Love your videos. If my husband and I were 15 years younger that's what we would do
Hello Brandi and Sean thanks for another video
You did the right thing. He will be fine. Just watch the incision sight so it doesn't get infected. Get a wound spray. Good luck, guys.
It’s so good to see you had Eddie cut(castrated). And seeing that he was a cryptorchid..that’s what it’s called when they retain one or both testicles..it was extremely important he got done. Cryps can get very mean and they pass that on to their male foals if used for breeding. Pats on the back guys. :)
Oh no poor baby. I know it has to happen but still hard to see it when it happens.
I just had too laugh at you two trying too rope that sweet Eddy ! He just thinks your playing with him. He is smart !
Sorry your hurting Eddy.
He's definitely super smart! He wore us both out lol
Eddie should heal just fine, & you should notice a difference in his behaviour. Good shot with the eggs Brandi🎯 The female butcher pig looks heaps better😊 Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰
For a stallion castration is called gelding.
Hope Eddie gets better soon 🙏
You could always take them to Walkers and use the set up there!!😀🐖🐖
Out of curiosity I just looked at your weather report for the week and my goodness it's like a roller coaster, all over the place up n down, up n down... hope no one gets sick from it. Sure glad I'm up in the Northeast! lol You two take such good care of your animals, old Eddie will be up to his orneriness in no time. 😊🐎
EDDIE IS GOING THROUGH HORMONAL WITHRAWL... SO HE MAY BE A BIT OFF. BUILD A ROUND PEN TO TRAIN AND EXERCISE. WATCH VIDEOS BY STEVE YOUNG HORSEMANSHIP. HE IS GREAT!!!! BLESSINGS TO ALL!!! PRAYERS SAID AS ALWAYS HUGS....
Eddie will do just fine, and praying he will be a calmer pony, ponies can stubborn and stinkers. Amry Palmer trains horses maybe watch some of her videos for tips. God bless stay safe until the next video ❤️ 😍
Wow a double cryptorchid, a real challenge for the vet to locate the testicles in the abdominal cavity. Healing time is important for the new gelding, you don’t want him to herniate. It’s great you had him gelded, as being a cryptorchid is hereditary (not just in horses by the way). For those not aware it takes a good month for the testosterone levels to diminish, which if the male is with a female, breeding could occur with a viable pregnancy. Good luck with the training of these 2 mini’s. Please remember - over generations small horses were bred to smaller horses, creating the mini - they were a novelty for royalty. Although physically they are smaller, they have the brain of a horse - meaning they think they are 800+ pounds & without proper training - for them & your family - they can run all over you. They may only weigh in at 250+/-, but in their mind, they are the top of the pyramid. With proper training they will learn to respect you, but as with any equine, always be aware of where they are & what they are up to. I wish you much success with them.
Wonder if he'll become less contrary now.
Wow that's awesome video i like ti 👍 your new videos 😍😘
You should have put a ramp down for him you know his colonies or lack thereof is pretty tender
It's for his own good.
Farmer job not a cowboy but catch stock rope them ,cut so gentle down need be done calf male cut steer gain weight.
Hope this message meets you in good health? What a beautiful and radiant smile you got. Pardon my guts for intruding into your comment how are you doing?
Keep horses build catch pen run in it pen up
Wendy Perrins,Queensland, Australia
We used to put special rubber bands on our calves and they would eventually just fall off.
It will probably calm him down so he becomes a nicer horse.
I’m sorry, but I’m cracking up how Dutch tied that horse up on the post 😂😂😂 Dutch a half hitch is a good thing to learn, it’s quick to do, quick to release it 👍 add that it’s safer for you and the horse being able to release them quickly.
Haha! I missed that knot tying.
you really need to get a ramp for that trailer, it would make getting animals in and out a lot easier.
What is your plan for the minis? I had one that I trained to drive, it's a lot of fun. Looks like they need some work.
You guys are too hilarious trying to catch Eddy. Might want to get a lead rope and find someone to teach you properly how to get the harness on easier. Then you make a mound of dirt that raises up to trailer bottom level to make loading easier. Home is looking good. Praying you and girls get a dear next time. Good luck, blessings from Bakersfield.
There are several well known vets that say you actually add years to an animals life when you get them fixed. Supposedly less infections and illnesses.
I had two of my horses gelded and they both were healthy. One died when he was 30 of a heart attack. The other was 33 when he died.
Poor Eddie!!
I have to ask, why did you get two studs if you only wanted one on the farm? It would have saved him some discomfort. It just doesn't make sense to me. P.S. Please don't take it the wrong way, I love your channel and wish all of you only the best.
Eddie will be a much better pony!!
