I just now found this post... haven't been on the computer much since Clooney arrived! Didn't know Lori was going to post pics of me and all my 'fatness' here, as well as on Facebook, or I would have had my dressage coach sit in the cart and pretend it was me! Rest assured he is much...

Just wanted to check in and say that Milo Acres Just For The Ladies AKA 'Clooney' has arrived! Thanks so much to Lori and Kim for delivering him up to me last week. I've been meaning to get on here and let everyone know how we're making out, but I've been having way too much fun to spend...

Hi Garnet! Congratulations and best of luck at the Nationals! Cathy

Beautiful photos! You both look great!! Cathy

Hi Desiree There is a really good site called Equine Legal Solutions that has a tonne of information. The lease section can be found at http://www.equineleg...whattoknow.html Hope this helps! Cathy

I have a Sony PRS-300, that I purchased for a great price on ebay after everyone was running out to get the new Kindles, Ipads, etc. It's nothing fancy, but I love the 'paper quality' versus some of the pricier models. I have vision problems and require larger font sizes to read, which our...

While I agree that "A life lived in fear is a life half lived." (Spanish proverb, as quoted in the movie Strictly Ballroom, one of my favourite movie quotes ever!), as the mother of a six year old and a horse related head/brain injury survivor, 'teaching the correct (safe) way to handle horses'...

Thanks everyone! I'm still grinning from ear to ear And that's exactly what I thought too Sandee... if he'll walk around quietly with a lion hat on his head/face ('how can he see Mum?!' is the first thing my son asked me <g>) I'm thinking he's got to be pretty darn level headed Cathy

Thanks to everyone here, especially those who so generously contacted me back channel to let me know *exactly* how much weight their horses were happily pulling in CDE competition... Thanks to all of you, I HAVE A NEW HORSE! Yes, I'm yelling, cause I haven't been this happy since I got...

Thanks to everyone here, especially those on the Driving Forum, who so graciously shared their knowledge and offered encouragement - I have a new horse!!! Special thanks to Lori Rafter of Maple Mountain Miniatures/MiLo Acres Training Centre for allowing me to purchase (although adopt is more...

Hi Desiree I have been in contact with Lori and she's been most helpful! Thanks as well for your offer of assistance - I'm sure I will be taking you up on it! I have yet to find my first VSE, but I am working toward mostly at home stuff for now: driven dressage, cones/obstacles, trails...

Hello Everyone!     I've been reading and learning (posting a bit) and thought it was about time I introduced myself to the group.   I'm a retired veterinarian in Northern Ontario, Canada. I was forced to retire early after a horse related head injury in 2004. I've had facial reconstructive...

Thanks REO!

Thanks Leia! I went ahead and posted on the MHCO facebook wall and discussion page, so hopefully someone will have a lead to a local driving instructor. I`ve asked around and most of the people in my area with driving horses had them trained by various standardbred guys at the local track...

Hello Everyone! I've been enjoying reading all the posts on this board, and am learning so very much from them! I don't yet have a miniature horse, but am working with a reputable breeder/trainer to make sure I find a good fit, as I have some 'special circumstances' after a VLE related head...
