I haven't posted on here in a looonnnggg time, but im looking for some educated information before i decide on what miniature to buy. Im looking to show AMHR halter and eventually start my own breeding program. I have owned miniatures before, and my mother currently owns an AMHR reg. mare...

Thanks every one, I'm really excited about getting him in the ring next year! He has something worth showing let me tell you! Very smart little man.

Yeah, I'm thinking of buying him a winter blanket so he doesn't get so fluffy

Oh yes he's a charmer and he knows it LOL. I love his blue eye, he is just so handsome!!! To many good things to say about this little guy, he's a doll

I'm so excited, we finally brought Scout home on the 7th and he is such a boy about things . He has a very well "This is going the way I want" attitude right now. Which I think Is just him being shy and little skittish as he doesn't know me. But he is so pretty, and friendly. I do NOT own him...

Thank you Arlene, I value your opinion very much so and would love your help with Scout .

There's no need to argue or get hasty guys , I'm not looking to buy a horse right now I'm trying to learn conformation BEFORE I even consider looking to buy a horse. Yes I look forward to working with Arlene and her amazing little gelding . I'm also not "buying" books lol, I just go to our...

Yeah I get that point of view, but I hear shetlands can be a very larger role as far as showing, than a miniature would be. So I might just stick to my big miniatures :P.

Thats what I thought, you guys look for different things In the ring with miniatures than you would a quarter horse? But I can still get a few full size horse conformation books, and puzzle In as much from that as I can. I'm also researching breeders with Hall Of Fame horses, Grand and National...

Ok I will just see If I can find any books at the library as there seem to be a few detailed one's I found online. I'll also try and pick up a copy of Kay's horse conformation book. Then see how that works. Thanks for the information .

I already know about the short neck, topline, cow hocked, sickle hocked. All of that but I'm still learning on the shoulder angles. So by knowing this from a bigger horses view, your saying I basically know good miniature conformation??? There's nothing actually specific In a miniature as far as...

I understand that, but many people on her have VERY different goals than those who own quarter horses and arabians etc. Such as miniature should be more refined, while a QH that were to show halter should be as big as bull dog. Big difference, and the table topline doesn't really work with them...

Yeah I just won't to go around gold LOL, I think I might be stuck with it though. If it looks good on him

Sadly with 2009 show season around the corner and my lack of knowledge of how shows worked and where they were etc. I never got much first hand experience, so I'm relying on pure research online or book-wise to help me. I don't want to go In looking clueless and trying to copy everybody else...

I agree for the longest time I had the love for 28-31" miniatures . But now considering a lot of dwarf problems crowding over the really small miniatures, I've been getting more attached to the bigger miniatures. I just like the fact that a 37-38" miniature would give you like a more secure...
