    Pricing Help Please

    I have two minis that are informally up for sell. I haven't advertised yet, I've just told people I know. I had planned in the spring to advertise a bit. Lack of time is the reason for selling, as these two deserve to be the center of attention. However, someone where I take riding lessons...

    Any Australian Shepherd experts?

    This is Caecie, and she came here about a month ago. The vet thinks she's about 9-10 months old, and she weighs 40 pounds. I'd like to get an AKC ILP number for her, as I know she'd be a great agility/rally/obedience dog. I don't know if she would qualify though, as she has some glaring...

    I'm am interested in doing Combined Driving next year with my gelding. Are blinkers/blinders required? What about sidechecks or overchecks? I'm ordering a new harness and am wanting to get it made without these, but if I won't be able to compete without them then I'll add them and just use...

    Hay stored in same barn as tobacco...

    I had about thirty bales of hay left over from last year, and instead of moving it to the barn that is only for hay, they stayed in the tobacco barn. I completely forgot about them until my dad said that they needed to be moved before they started stripping tobacco because they were in the way...

    Ground poles...

    I've never seen any small wooden poles, and would rather not use PVC because of it's shatter-ability, so what do you use for ground poles?

    Conditioning...

    I'm currently working on my getting my little guy slimmed down, but I still think he's going to be a 'thicker' boy once he's in shape. I was just wondering if anyone has pictures of their horses before and after conditioning?

    Next weekend is the 50th Wedding Anniversary of the Barn Owners of the stable where I take lessons(The parents of my Riding Instructor.) I boarded my horse there for about a year and a half, and have also taken lessons there for just as long. Any ideas of what would be a nice gift for them...

    Anyone know how many miles per hour they do while driving? At the walk and trot? Just wondering how long it would take me to travel say, 15 miles? My current driving mini is 31 inches tall, hooks up to my easy entry, so is pulling about 250-300 pounds. I also have a 37 inch mini, and then of...

    Where can I buy spare driving equipment?

    I have searched everywhere for stores that just sell harness parts, not whole harnesses. I need a breastcollar and girth, that's it. I did find one website but a breastcollar was $145 :new_shocked: I'm not going to show driving, just drive around the farm/town. I don't care what it's made...

    This is Tonka. He's 31 inches, and will be three on May 31st. Here's the before picture: And here are the afters: And now the question. Would he be considered a 'refined' mini? I know he's not as stocky as some I've seen, but I've never really met a refined mini.

    Anyone going to this show?

    I was thinking of going. I was wanting to take one of my big horses, but there are no shows for him(well, there are, but none that would be any fun). I think there are around seven classes that minis can enter, including three that are specifically for minis. I really want to enter my...

    At what age would you consider him officially a cryptorchid?

    One of my guys will be three on the 31st of May. So far he's dropped one testicle, but no sign of the other. I don't know if they were both present at birth, but when I got him he hadn't dropped either. When would you just give up all hope of looking at just consider him a cryptorchid?
