Based on the pictures, your mini probably isn't going to be competitive showing in the halter classes, but I would definitely pursue the obstacles and jumping. Any given bloodline, even the best known, are going to have good and poor representatives. One couldn't say Blue Boy bred horses are...

I saw her the other day... My vote is Silver Bay.

Personally I think it would be foolish to start a breeding program for any reason other than a personal desire and passion for the miniature horse. Right now, unless you can afford the very best of the best, there is not really a market for breeding miniatures. By the time you invest in the...

I am one who feels they should not be able to show. However, a poll on LB is not an accurate representation of how AMHR as a registry feels, just as the members and posters here are not(or even close to) an accurate representation of the members of AMHR. Several here are members, yes, but there...

I too feel for the clients, youth, and friends involved who may not get their horses shown because they relied on someone else, however... I feel for the exhibitor who worked their butt off and met the deadlines, followed the rules, and will lose to the exhibitor who did not. If I was that...

Jill, it's good you know why you were there. How many people did you speak with in the long line? Were they all equally passionate about freedom of speech? Based on the interviews they actually showed on the news (sorry, didn't see your clip) I think that it's safe to say there were just as many...

I do agree with Jill here. Obviously, if you think abortion is a moral option for a woman, you can justify each circumstance as you may without sounding hypocritical. But again, there's this pocket of people who will claim that they don't agree with abortion because it's killing a life. THEN...

What I find interesting (and naive ) is the assumption that all, or even most, of those people are in line to celebrate free speech. The eating patterns of americans and the ease at which propaganda affects Americans would suggest that a large quantity of those people probably don't even know...

Ashley, my response to your circumstance (which so many like to bring up) is always the same. There are a billion couples out there wanting to adopt. Then the argument is always this... "You don't know what it's like to carry a baby and then have to give it up." My response again is the same...

For those of you who feel like its OK as the result of rape but not OK for unplanned pregnancies... It sounds like you are justifying your "for" or "against" circumstances as a matter of responsibility, not a matter of morality. That's completely OK. I just get annoyed when people claim that...

It was suggested that I see where this will go, and see how people feel about it. So here goes. Because of all this Chic Fil A stuff there's been a lot of hype out there, and on this forum, about same sex marriage. In a thread there, I made this comparison. "Stating that one does not support...

I don't know what Obama said at the time, but I have never been, nor am I now despite his recent support, a huge fan of Obama. But if he said at the time that gays should not be allowed to marry, then yes, he absolutely was saying that they are inferior or heterosexuals. It's kind of like...

Was glad to be there Thanks for the kinds words!

To say that gays don't deserve the right to marry is the EXACT SAME THING as saying they should be ashamed. You can't separate the two. You take a position that you don't think there's anything wrong with being gay and then say that they don't deserve a right that straight people do.

I still don't know how to quote anyone here, but a recent poster did an EXCELLENT job of illustrating my point TO A TEA!!! THANK YOU You said.... "I am sure gluttony refers to something much more extreme than a meal here and there.." Ummm how are you so sure? The Bible did not come with a...
