Is anyone attending the sale in Snohomish, WA this Sunday?

Pie in the Sky time... The AMHA needs to hire someone whose sole responsibility is to pursue corporate sponsors so it can stop asking its members and exhibitors to foot the bill for the World Show. I attended the AMHA World Show every year from 1992 to 2007. I missed 2008-2010 because if work...

Can someone post on here *which* rule will stand - the 2-show, 6-judge requirement (Saturday's vote) or the 2-show, 4-judge (modified by the BOD on Sunday)? I don't want to assume it's the former, which would also be one class on the local level. Sorry to be thick-headed! I just want to be...

We had an older mare who developed cataracts in both eyes and had diminished vision. She wasn't completely blind. She produced wonderful foals for us, but as she got older and her vision decreased, we stopped breeding her = not because foaling was difficult or because she wasn't a great mom -...

A lot of trainers use it -- including John Shirreffs. Horse of the Year Zenyatta used to get it added to her feed daily as a suppliment. John's a big advocate of the natural approach. i plan to use it on my show string this year.

Unless something changed AFTER the vote on this rule, the way it was initially presented in this post is incorrect, I believe. The rule is 2 different shows and 6 different judges, not 4. You will have to attend at least 2 shows with 3 judges each. Also, you MUST show in EACH class you wish...

If anyone has a trip planned from the Northeast that could drop off a mini in SC (right off of I 95), please PM me. Trying to make arrangements to get a horse down that way. Thanks!

I met a very nice woman who visited our Miniature Horse booth at the Equine Affaire yesterday. She was looking for information about using minis for nursing home and hospital visits and how to go about training and getting her minis the proper accredidation. I didn't have the answers for her...

I received an email from a highly reputable equine rescue and sancuary this morning and thought i would share. (I hope this is ok to post on here??) Today (October 19th )is National Call-In Day for Horses to encourage Congress to vote on the Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act. They ask that all...

Not too many, by the looks of the class sizes...

Can't be a winner until you learn how to lose with grace and sportsmanship.

I find it somewhat amusing, ironic and disturbing to read different people's take on the definition of an amateur. In simplest terms, an amateur is someone who does not accept payment for a laundry list of equine services. So why is it that every single year we have the same negative posts...

Anyone know??

Last year, the AMHA board made it easier for those of us in areas with few shows to qualify for the World Show by allowing us to hardship-qualify our horses. As long as the horse showed before 6 different judges, he/she could qualify. The same provision was supposed to be voted on for this...

The Northeast Miniature Horse Club will kick off its 2010 Show Season on Sunday, May 23rd at the beautiful Clear Brook Farm in Hancock, NH. We will have a full-slate of classes with an emphasis for the performance enthusiast! We planned the classes with the performance horse in mind...
