Momma and Brandi

Momma (white forehead) & Brandi, mother and daughter, came to us along with twelve other miniature horses when their owners could no longer care for their minis. We adopted out all twelve minis except for Brandi and Momma, who will live at the Ohio SPCA Farm Sanctuary for the rest of their lives! Momma and Brandi are both prone to laminitis, aka founder, a type of lameness typically brought on by a diet too high in sugar. Since grass and grain are both high in sugar, Brandi and Momma have a strict, hay-only diet. To keep them from foundering on grass, we keep Momma and Brandi on a “dry lot,” where all the grass has been killed. Momma is in her twenties, and Brandi is around twenty herself. These two girls love people. They can be a bit rambunctious and will break into a gallop or kick up their hooves at a moment’s notice. But they’re good girls, and we are lucky to have them.
