Minimum of 90 days before the first show. If pony/horse is not in too bad of shape (i.e. too fat) you might be able to get away with 60 days lead in time. Depends on how hard you want to work said beastie too. I normally feel the first 30 days are "legging up" time - just to get some...

I disagree with the 'warm states' as having an advantage. We may have a longer show season, but we don't have as many shows offered. in the end it IS a trailer race - many divisions I could have been #1 if I had just showed that class at (insert show here) HOY/POY is really poorly done...

Yikes! Here we go again is right! I vote for rotating years - even years on East Coast (OH, IL, KY, TN) odd years on West coast - ( NV, AZ, CA,sorry those are the best places I can think of that have good facilities - wouldn't you LOVE to show in Vegas? or Scottsdale?) Lock in facility for...

I do my own in the winter. It's cooler. I can SIT under my pony and do him. he's actually better for me, than my farrier. I leave the farrier work to show season, hot weather, or if I am putting on shoes.

Most companies have a minimum on their policy, and I find that to be around $200.00 That is for mortality insurance. Add major medical and that adds some more premium - depending on how much medical you buy. Some are an additional $250 for a standard amount of $7500 or $10,000 (will...

Instead of complaint after complaint - there is nothing wrong with complaining, it is how we get things to change; HOWEVER it would be nice for everyone to add a POSITIVE, POSSIBLE solution along with your complaint! I complain that the schedule needs some tweaking - Who is on the committee...

Thanks Amy that's the kind of reply I was looking for, not another re-hash of facilities or money I wanted to know why the show program did not seem more exhibitor friendly and more attuned to a National Caliber show. You imply that it is the way the program is written more than anything...

O.K. I admit. I took a look at the mini nationals show prize list for the first time ever today (after 5+ years in Shetlands) I never had an interest in Minis - to each his own. Nothing against them, they are cute, just not for me, as I am bigger so want a bigger pony. I have always wondered...

My guess would be the payback is much bigger in the classes for ASPR and MOdern

Hi Tina Bringing my classic Shetland- he's the only one I own, so what am I gonna do? Retire him at the ripe old age of 6? LOL I have an ASPR in the wings but she's not quite ready to go out in public yet. between me and a couple of friends I think we're bringing 2 classics, 1 modern...

So Area 3 with this all said , I am sure you know the outcome of the call ! Nope, sadly this is the FIRST we've gotten anything on it. And you don't even represent us! Guess we should be voting on TWO new directors??? And you will have a new election and it will all be said and done by the...

QUOTE: ~At the Area 3 Regionals held in Perry, GA I came home really excited to be a member. But, this entire situation has been a true nightmare. I have seen "politics" come into play that I never imagined. I hate to say it...but it has been ridiculous the way this entire process has been and...

Where'd it go!?

Ballots were to be counted on the 10th do we have any word yet of the results?

Looks like Ocala, Summerfield, Ocala, Perry GA, Ocala, OHIO state fair and then IF I have any money possibly Ardmore. Too soon to know how many and where yet. I may just do a couple of local shows and bag the rest and make it an easy year while my filly gets trained.
