Check out Chicks Saddlery, the have alot of mini items, including saddles and are very reasonably priced.

A few years ago my teenage daughter was showing our gelding in obstacle class at the State Fair. He's freaked out at the littlest things, and the last obstacle were some poles to trot over with a small potted tree at each end. He trotted over poles but was leary of the tree's waiting to attack...

We don't have separate 4H clubs for mini's, but there are some kids that show mini's in our county. We have a mini show at the Co Fair, the classes are halter, pleasure driving, showmanship and jumping. Some of the kids have their own mini's and others borrow from club mates. Its great for...

Thats awesome its someone you know! I was so surprised when I saw the article, maybe it will answer some of questions of "what do you DO with a mini?" Never expected to see such a great article on mini's in a dressage magazine. It said there are more pictures and info online, but I haven't...

We get Dressage Today magazine because my daughter rides Dressage on her Appaloosa. The magazine came yesterday and we were surprised to find the article "Thumbs Up to Driven Dressage", about a Miniature horse and his owner who do dressage thru driving. Very good article and good to see...

I'm so sorry to hear of your boys' passing. It must be so difficult losing both on the same day, they are now running together over rainbow bridge and will be waiting for you to join them some day. Thinking of you today, take care of yourself. Becky

I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like Ollie was quite a character! I loved your tribute to to him, it made me teary eyed. Hoping you and Trickster get thru these difficult times together. Take care, Becky

Sorry Lisa, I quoted the wrong post. I loved the statement about "peanut rollers"! hehe! Becky

And I thought "peanut rollers" were only western pleasure Quarter Horses! Didn't realize they'd crossed over to the mini world too! Were they referring to the Western Country Pleasure driving class entries? Because as far as I know, there's no Western Pleasure classes for mini's... Becky

Can't wait to go next year! Every year we say we're going, then end up not being able to go for some sort of reason. Next year we are going even if we have to drive the cart to get there! I'm starting a "nationals fund" asap! AND saving up all my vacation time. Not missing out on the fun AGAIN!

I totally agree. As the County Extension leader told the 4-Hers at County Fair this year-the judges opinion is one persons opinion at that moment in time, at that show and tomorrow it'll probably be different. She stressed sportsmanship to the kids and told them that its not the color of the...

We bought a dwarf at a local horse sale in May, for $100. No one wanted her, but she looked pathetic, so of course I had to have her. She had horribly overgrown hooves and could barely walk, and matted hair at least 6 inches long and lice. While I was paying for her a man with several small...

Thanks so much for the clarification, I was hoping I was entering the correct class all this time!

I show my silver dapple in solid color, even though he has a "body pattern" which are dapples, but no white anywhere else. Does this mean he should be in multi-color? When I clip him he has alot of white dapples all over his body, but no white socks or facial markings. He always does really...

I want to go!!! Every year we plan on it but then it just never seems to work out. My daughter shows her Paint horse in Hunter Jumper shows and we have one this weekend we don't want to miss. Otherwise, we'd LOVE to go! Good luck to everyone, have a great time-I'll be thinking of you all. Becky
