Most of the vendors are there from 8am to 7pm. I know I helped Ozark a couple of times and that is their hours. I think they all close early on futurity night.
Ozark Minitack.com is really great place to work with. They ship quickly and have great prices. The girls in the office are always really nice and helpful. They also have monthly specials.

Any nippers that are as sharp as the barracuda need to be used with extreme caution. It is very very easy to severely injure your horse. They are not for newcomers to trimming. Please be very careful and get some instruction before using any type of nippers.
My understanding is that the proposal is for the base of the withers - not the top of the withers. Which personally I think is as arbitrary as last hair on the main. Does anyone have the actual proposal? If I missed it somewhere in this 26 pages I am sorry.
Thanks for the input. I had tried to research everywhere I could to find out if there was an organization that made the decision when a breed became a breed and not just a registry. I am with you Charlotte - I dont think there is one. So irregardless if we close our registries or not we are...
There has been many discussions on our registries not being a "breed". Who decides what is a breed and how do we get our registries changed from a registry to a breed. IS there some association that determines which breeds are "true" breeds. Any information would be helpful. I am just a...
I love the silvertip rope halters - the rope is bigger. I do not use them for training or working in. I do use them for all of my broodmares when I need to move from pasture to pasture - easier on and off and only have to carry a couple of sizes with me. I also leave one tied at every gate on...
My mares will consume one in about 5-6 days (20 mares) - 5' bale. My two boys are still working on the one we put out the first week in October. We monitor for mold but generally do not have any problems with that.
Ozark has a lined waterproof sheet by Triple L and I know from experience they can add to the belly band if you need it. The Kensington Waterproof blanket is also very nice.

We have not been fortunate to go on a long drive with our "vettec shoes" yet but they have been on now for about 2 weeks and my horses are out in the pasture 24/7. I think they are going to be easier and better than boots because they are not as heavy and large. I like the fact that I am not...
We bought both products last month and love them. Had one mini with a problem sore foot and just used the sole guard on the one foot and it seems to have really helped. Being able to create mini shoes is awesome and like others have said - do good hoof prep and they stay on.
A great gift idea is:
Donate $10.00 to CMHR - and then let them keep the $5.00 gift card from Ozark. Do this in your persons name. That gives CMHR $15 and you still have monies left to get your person a smaller gift. CMHR can really use all of our help.
Merry Christmas !!!
I think your idea about an area meeting is really good. Make sure to get hold of Larry Parnell - my understanding is that he will be helping to plan the convention next year. Let see if we cant make it a good one for everyone.
