I was wondering, what are the differences between the AMHA shows and the AMHR shows? I've heard that the AMHR shows are easier for amateurs to get started in than AMHA, but there seems to be some loyalty among people who show. Those that show AMHA usually only show AMHA. Is it better to show...

Thank you. I am really hoping to get to show him. I'll tell you that we are VERY new to mini's. I used to show POA's, but that was years and years ago. I am honestly a little scared to get into it, but it's something I've wanted to do for a long time now. I mostly wanted to get into...

Awesome pictures Anna! We took baby and mama out into the small pen. The breeder had told us not to let us use his legs much as the joints aren't fused and so it could hurt his legs? But he's running in his stall, so getting him not to use his legs would be an exercise in futility. We took...

You're not rambling at all. Mama horse is actually, usually, very people friendly. So, no problems catching her. We have had foals years ago when we did that that came to us and had never been touched till they were weaned. Took awhile, but they always gentled down. I guess I shouldn't...

What I have is their stalls with runs, but I have not let her out into the run because it's about a 6" or so step down and it's muddy thanks to all the snow we got. I didn't want that little wobbly legged foal trying to maneuver the step and down into mud. So, I've kept them stalled up. I...

Thanks. It's really warm today, but windy and I debated letting her out for just a bit to stretch her legs and run off some energy. It's not a very big pen, but bigger than her stall with lots of sunshine. I might wait another day and take her out tomorrow, but I did open the top door to...

Thank you to all that helped and gave advice as we counted down to the birth of our little stud colt. I so appreciate all your support and help! So, at less than 24 hours old, born March 5th somewhere around 9pm. : Lionheart's Dreamy Blue Valentine Sire: First Knights Dare To Dream Dam...

Thank you. Quick question....how long till I can take them outdoors and let them run around? We're supposed to be getting up into the 60's and sunny. Very nice out. They've been in the stall, but I was wondering when it's ok for him to go out and see the world and enjoy the sunshine? How...

Ok, it's official....it's a he. I was a bit disappointed with the lack of coloring, but his sire is First Knights Dare To Dream and his grand sire is First Knights Bit O Hot Shot....so I have high hopes for his conformation regardless of color. Mama did finally go poo. Other than her...

LOL Yeah really. I keep watching, but the foal just isn't cooperative.

Mama is still very protective this morning, but I did manage to get a couple of pictures. The baby did pass its droppings, but I haven't seen mama poop yet. We gave her a small feeding last night after she foaled and then I fed her this morning. She really hasn't been rolling or laying down...

Thanks. Have no clue if it's a boy or girl yet. Mama is very protective and it was all we could do to get the foal blankets on. LOL So, I decided blankets was good enough at the moment. I left her alone. I have two blankets on the foal. It's still awfully cold. Mama is being very good...

She had her foal tonight! The monitor didn't do us a bit of good as she never laid down to have it. We went out to check on her and there was a wobbly legged, nearly dry foal standing there. Have no clue what it is. Mama is very protective over her foal right now. We did get blankets on the...

OK, I have straw pushed up around the walls. I have another bale on standby. We have the monitor up and running and we'll hang that on her halter when we bring her up from pasture. We have towels, foal blankets, tail wrap, iodine, etc all ready to go. I think we're just about ready and I am...

Just for fun, this is a pic of her and her foal from last year.
