Just had my most serious horse related injury a couple of days ago. I was driving my experienced driving mini mare when she spooked at something. One minute she was calmly walking then she was off to the races. She kicked the cart a couple of times. I tried to turn her but she refused to turn...

Hi. A couple of days ago I had a runaway by my experienced driving mini. She is normally a quiet mare but after working for 10 minutes, she spooked. While walking she suddenly fixated on something and a half second later was like a Thoroughbred race horse! I could not stop her. Tried to make...

In 2015 AMHR uses the 1/2 method and AMHA uses the 1/4 method. It is best to look at the rule book for each registry every year to make sure they have not changed the rules. A couple of years ago I had not check the rules and that registry change the rules causing me to get 'The Walk' since I...

You-Tube has 'How to braid mane and tail' videos. They helped me learn how to do the braiding. Practice braiding at home so when you are at a show it will be easy to get it done.

Hi. I am looking for a mini tack shop that makes miniature horse english style leather halters without a bit to use in Hunter/Jumper classes at mini shows. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Hi. I have a question: How many people have ordered a Jerald driving cart from the Jerald Sulky Company after Dec 2, 2013 and have received their carts with wheels? Or have you received your carts without the wheels? I have a problem. Dec 2, 2013 I ordered and paid for 2 20'' Deluxe Chrome...

Hi, here are some general tips. Make sure the products in your tack box are full or at least full enough so you done't run out of it. You shoud have something to remove last minute poop stains; (I love Cowboy Magic Krud Buster). Bring a black permanent marker (Sharpie) to fill in last minute...

The oldest horse we owned was our last Arabian horse, a stallion named 'Chariot Of Fire.' He was 29 years old. We just put him down June 11, 2011 do to his declining health. Vet said he had liver cancer and there wasn't anything more that could be done for him. Three years ealier Chariot was...

Yes, I too think it would be nice if the mini horse people went to showing the miniatures more like how the Arabians are shown. It would be more professional and would allow people in the stands to cheer for the miniature horse they like when all the judges are inspecting them at halter...

Thank you to all those who have responded to my questions. I decided to not buy the harness I was looking at on ebay. Most of the harness would have fit him but a few parts would have to be replaced with smaller parts. Plus I was not able to fell the harness to determine if I would like...

Well my gelding didn't stop growing until he was five. In AMHR (permanent at 3 yrs), his permanent papers state he is 33.5". But in AMHA (permament at 5 yrs), his papers state he is 33.75''. I do keep records of his weight year to year, and he weighted almost the same when he was measured...
