A sad day for sure. We are only keepers of God's creataures and some impact us more than others. He was an impact to the miniature horse world and to all that knew him and own any of his get. A special horse indeed. He was needed back at his creator's ranch to carry on his legacy. Thank you...

So, banamine and dex are our friends when reptiles or other critters bite! I just had my Tea Cup Chihuahua et bit by a rattlesnake. I quickly called my vet and I was told to give Dex and Penicillian. I asked about Banamine but was told the Dex would act like Banamine so not to give him any...

I applaude you for saying there is retaliation--there have been countless PM's sent in support of rule enforcement by those that feared retaliation. It's sad when AMHA members are afraid to voice their concerns because of it. Thank you for pointing out that it does exist and is a real concern...

I left your entire rant in place because it's so funny, biased and not true. The main thinf is that you don't have to belonge to AMHA in order to do business with them (unless the rules have changed recently). It's AMHR that has that rule. And to showing, I guess you haven't noticed but, most...

I've always fed coastal bermuda to my minis. I think the problem with bermuda is, a horse has to be introduced to it slowly, just like a feed change so the horse learns to chew it and it also must drink more water with it. Alfalfa has moisture where bermuda doesn't. Here in central Texas...

I'm sorry you can't see what I'm talking about. I'm not blaming the registries for me being broke but they've priced me and many of my friends out of registered horses. I'm bitter at how the BOD closed the AMHR registry after the membership voted not to close it at the previous covention and...

A ranch I worked at a few years ago, had some foals come down with foal pneumonia and the vet had me put them on Tribrissen (SMZ), two tablets in water, twice daily for 20 days and he also told me to keep them out of the sun and heat and keep the stalls damp to keep the dust down. Dust is what...

I guess that's one way to look at it, but, I don't. This stallion is a very well bred stallion but, papers don't make the horse. I used him for two reasons. To see if he would refine a mare and pass on his extremely long neck. Personlly, I think his neck is too long for his body but, he did...

I never said they (AMHR) were responsible for my finances. But, when they price some out of belonging, they are part of the problem. If I had known they were going to close the registry, I would have put off paying something else so I could get them regestered. That's what kills me about the...

Yes there was and I should have but, I honestly was waiting for his first foal to be born to see if he was going to be used for breeding or not. Unfortunately, his first colt is a pretty good foal, now a two year old palomino. He can be regitered AMHA because the mare is double and the Sire is...

From what I have observed at different shows I used to show, the horses were being measured at the base of the withers anyway. Right or wrong, that's what I've observed. Every now and then I'll see someone actually measure at the last hairs. Most people leave the hair long at the last mane...

Prices of everything go up that is life again another fact we might not like but it is reality. I I get that you are happy breeding and showing your unregistered minis and choose not to particpate in either registry and that is fine. It seems to work for you and you are happy. Sure prices go...

Ok, now really there was NO Illegal meeting !!! It was done at a Board meeting .. with all Directors present.. There is no sense in stirring up old issues. Sorry Belinda but I have to disagree. That meeting was an illegal meeting. It went against what was printed in the By-Laws of...

Facts that you failed to mention, are that AMHR has made great strides, and is now the leading Miniature Horse Association in the world. AMHR has a larger membership, they have more horses registered, their National show is the largest Miniature Horse Show in the World. Their financial position...
