Thank you!! I hope it works, I love the little guy - but we never did use him to breed - so to keep him I thought I'd geld him and show him in gelding classes!! Thanks again

Yes I too have put geldings in with mares before. I thought maybe the reason that my gelding's - Mother(dam) and his 2 half sisters were the ones not accepting him in their pasture was more than just him being the bottom of the herd. Because all the other mares out there seem to accept him...

We too feed round bale to our pasture of 8 mares. We put in a horse round bale metal feeder. We do have to go out with the tractor after about 1 week and pick up the bale and fluff it some - because the mini's have short necks and it gets harder for them to reach in and get to the bale as they...

We have a 3 year old AMHR gelding that we just gelded 3 months ago. He was born here on our miniature horse farm. His dam and 2 of his sisters (all 3 from same dam) are in the mare pasture. The dam (mom) is 16 years old, the 2 sisters are 4 & 5 years old. We have waited 3 months since gelding...

Yep looks like the breeder was Ralph Bear and they are still very respectable miniature breeders, etc. They have a very nice website Bear Farms, located in Shawnee, Kansas. Both Ralph and Shirley are very nice and would probably share all they know with you - just send them an e-mail (which you...

He is awesome!! I love the bay's. Can't wait to see you next year in some of our local shows again around the Missouri area.

I can't imagine anyone saying anything negative about Erica nor her wins. I also do not know Erica personally - however, at Carthage MO show this year I went up and introduced myself to her while she was resting (ha) between classes. Erica was so nice and I made sure that she knew I have learned...

Hi, We had a foal previously born with the blood red eyes. It was our very first foal born on our farm - freaked my husband out. I was at a show with some other mini's and he called me stating that the filly's eyes were bleeding and the vet was on his way - middle of the night. (You know what I...

I for one got into the mini's because I am getting older and wanted to keep enjoying horses - so if I'm going to continue in this it will be with the smaller mini's my preference. I like the "arabian look" but I also like the "stocky" look to. If it ends up that everything is going taller and...

We have lots of coyotes in our area - Missouri. We haven't so far had them bother our mini's. But with that said - the neighboring farms have had coyotes take down calves, etc. - which are larger than some of our mini's. I know that whenever we have a foal born we immediately bury the...

Very neat! However my concern would be - they are made of a type of plastic which "termite" mini's could chew up. I've seen mini's chew on wood, trees, etc. so why not plastic LOL

I have been told there are a lot of vendors there - how fun!! Is there also several food vendors there that you don't have to actually leave the barn/arena area - if you are staying in your stall/trailer. Is there a vendor that serves breakfast food, lunch food, etc.? Or will I have to unhook...

For those of us that will be sleeping in our horse trailers - how far away from the barns are they parked? And do you use the RV/Camper area for hookups; or do you use a generator for your lights, etc in your living area? For those sleeping in the stalls - are there showers, etc. to use when...

We'll be arriving on Wednesday night and showing: KDH BUCKNROSE LITTLE BLAZE Mare Yearling, Over 34" to 36" (or possibly over 32" to 34") Solid Color Mare, Over LAKEVIEW'S DIVA Mare 2 Year Old, 31" & Under Multi-Color Mare, Under Hopefully I can get some weight off of Diva before then...

I just received an e-mail from Cathy B in the AMHR show dept. She says they just received their AMHR 2010 Nationals class information and it is right now being proofed and it should be on their website later this afternoon if no revisions are needed.
