The Adoption fees are based on the major costs that each horse incurred. (Such as gelding and other vet fees, dental work, transport and other costs to get them to Pipsqueak Paddocks.) |

Shindig 
Shindig is a very sweet colt who has been handled since birth and was shown last year. His family can no longer keep him and he has come to us to be gelded and to find a wonderful new home. |

The following is a Blog for Pipsqueak Paddocks. This is intended to let potential adopters see more of the personality of the Minis they may be interested in. Also, it is for the general public to have a glimpse of our daily activities and adventures. Many thanks to our wonderful volunteer, Kristie, who provides us with most of the terrific pictures that we use! ... |

Glee's new BFF - Joc!
The day finally arrived for Joc to go home and meet Glee! I've been hoping to find her match for years now! They are apparently doing very well together already, so here's to a great future for them as a team!
It will be another year at least for Joc to complete his recovery I expect, but what a success story this pair will be! They are two of our most severe cases and to see them happy, healthy and together in an awesome home is terrific! Congrats on your new addition Margaret and may you three have tons of fun in the future! Here are some pictures of the Silver Dapple twins! This is exactly what we expected Glee to do at first... but she's all talk!  Joc checking out his new digs...  So, we are proud to introduce the Dynamic Duo, also known as Double Trouble! LOL 
BATH DAY!
Many thanks to the gals who came out to help us on Bath Day! We got all seven Minis done in record time and a good time was had by all!
Here's Brianne easing Apple into it. She's never had a thing done to her, so everything is a surprise. She did end up liking to drink from the hose though! LOL   Kipper had his turn too!  Here he is looking all handsome! Kipper has lost an amazing 64 pounds so far! He is halfway there!  Margaret and I tackled Mulligan, he looks so handsome after a bath when he is very white and very black!  Everyone was strung out to dry on the grass... you can see Sampson still in the Paddocks awaiting his turn.  And Shindig having a good roll to be sure that he's nice and dirty before his turn. Sheesh.  Lather, rinse, repeat - got it?!  ... and Jupiter's opinion of the whole day. LOL 
Meet Shindig!
We have a new arrival!
"Firefly's Mighty Fine Shindig" is a double regsitered (AMHA/AMHR) strawberry roan colt. He is here to be gelded and find a wonderful home. He was shown last year, but his family has since lost interest. He is actually out of my old stallion, Bond Bee Butch, and a lovely palomino mare, Bond Ecstasy. He was born at Sunnyvale Miniatures and was boarded there until he came to us, so he has had excellent care his whole life and is up to date on everything. He is very friendly and was very good for his bath yesterday! 
Mulligan's latest adventure...
Well... I came to the barn one afternoon and was shocked to see Mulligan's tooth sticking out frontwise. I was rather dismayed as he just looked a fright! (As it added another two inches to his underbite! LOL) I phoned the vet and was relieved to hear that he is just the right age to start losing his teeth. (I just had never run into this before!) She advised me to get out the pliers and give him a hand as it had to be uncomfortable by that stage. So, I did. Then, a few days later I helped out the one beside it. So here is a picture of Mulligan making his Christmas wish list... (he looks less than impressed, hey?!)
No news is good news.
Hi all!
Sorry for my lack of blogging here. June was a very busy month for me! All of the Minis are doing great. Apple is going to have her teeth done next week and then she'll be ready for adoption. Moses/Joc is healing up well and now gets to hang out with Mully and Apple 24/7. He is learning how to be a nice, sociable boy! Kipper and Sampson hang out with Jupiter in the big paddock and they keep each other on their toes. I will "blog" again very soon with some pictures and more about our adventures! Thanks! Thanks!
Had some great help today from Margaret, Stephanie and Kathy! The whole herd was groomed from head to tail and they got some great individual attention. Thanks so much for coming out gals!
Margaret snapped some great shots with her new camera! Here's Kathy with Mulligan and Apple, the filly that her class got to name after doing a terrific job fundraising for Pipsqueak Paddocks!  Here's Apple and Mulligan with Kathy and Stephanie...  And here is Margaret, hanging out with Joc (Moses). 
"Apple of our eye"
Well, she has a name! Mrs. Wright's class submitted their suggestions and the Board of Directors voted for their favourite. "Apple" was the name selected for our pretty little filly! She is settling in well and having fun! She and Mully are having a great time together and she'll be introduced to the other boys in a few days. She is over 50% dematted now and we're still working on her. It is impossible to get a brush through certain parts of her coat. We'll be clipping her once the weather settles. Here are a few pictures of her...
I call this one... "Apple eating Mulligan". LOL  Hanging out with Kipper.... 
A pretty little filly...
We have a new arrival! This pretty little girl is a bay yearling. She seems very sweet. She hopefully just needs some good food and TLC. We'll have the vet out to see her and her teeth will be done as well. She is very interactive and wants to make friends with the other Minis!
  
"Mini-Golf for Mini-Horses"
It's that time of year again!
The other boys!
Here are some cute shots of Kipper and Sampson! They wanted to be in the Blog today too! LOL
 Kipper LOVES to bug Sampson!   For some reason in this picture, Kipper reminds me of "Toothless", the dragon from that new movie! LOL
