    Razoring the pink skinned mini..

    This is to all the show people out there- I just bought a new mini. He is mostly white, and he has a pink nose (with one spot on it) and two pink skinned eyes with eyeliner. I am hesitant to razor it for show.. Will it look weird? I don't see too many razored pink skinned horses, especially on...

    Excessive weight gain in mare?!

    I bought my mare, Angel, last month on April 11th. She was healthy, sound and most importantly, she was a bit fat, but I was pretty sure I could work it off of her. However, this month I noticed she has started gaining weight instead of losing. She goes out to pasture a few hours a day with a...

    Show Cart or Easy Entry for Youth??

    So I'm looking to buy a cart and around my area there are mostly Easy Entry Carts. I know those are the carts with a back and can hold more than 1 person, and at my fair if you are under 13 you have to have someone else with you in the cart. But I will mostly be showing PTHA. I think in PTHA if...

    What to wear in Western Driving?

    Im going to start showing my mini in driving next year and I was wondering what to wear. Can I just wear my showmanship outfit? Or should I wear a more conservative colored outfit (ex. a rail shirt with black pants, boots, hat and belt)? Thank you.

    My horse, Oatmeal Acres Dandy's Shadow Caster, (pictured below) can't stop eating grass! Even if I take him outside (when the snow is off the ground ) with a chain, tight lead, he grabs down and eats and I've pulled him up so many times but he never will listen. If I lounge him he completely...
