I have a much better method for you to use for taildocking. Can you pm me and I will tell you the method that I have used very successly for the last 15 years on over hundreds of puppies. I don't want to open myself up to getting flamed on here. Peg Balthazor

I hope you will be able to attend my club's show. We always have a good time at the Wichita show. I know that Laura Mullen will do an excellent job as show manager this year. If you have any questions about the facilities or anything else pertaining to the show, I would be happy to answer...

Our week started off very tragic with the death of our beloved gelding, Diamond M Classic Blue Image. The morning after he died, I dreaded walking into the barn and not hearing him nicker at me for his breakfast. The barn seemed painfully empty without him. I was in tears as I checked my...

Our gelding Diamond M Classic Blue Image, aka Beau was one of those priceless horses that would have never been sold for any price. In fact, a few years ago at Worlds, a very well known and wealthy person in the AMHA approached my son who was 12 at the time and asked him if his horse was for...

Thank you all for your warm thoughts and concern especially to Janet and Charolette for posting for me. My family and I are just devasted and shocked. He was just fine last night. My vet is thinking a stroke, anuerism or heart attack. We will have the results from the vet college back in a...

Amen!!!!! I know as a single mom, I financially struggle to afford to have our horses and go to the shows but, the investment is very small compared to all that we have gained from our life with horses. My 11 yr old daughter Ashley, won a World CH and a Res. World Ch at the 2007 AMHA World...

Julie, Your carriage is beautiful!!! Is it possible to pull that carriage with one horse? I will be calling you after the holidays. Have a Merry Christmas, Peg

A friend of mine is getting married this summer and has asked to use our white miniature gelding and cart as their get away carriage. I know that I have seen pictures in the past of carts that are decorated in a fairytale type fashion but, cannot find any pictures of them now. Can anyone...

Tony, Gayle actually collapsed after suffering an anuerism in her stomach and then underwent emregency surgery to fix it. Unfortunately, they could not get her blood pressure back up after the surgery. I was fighting back the tears when I called and gave your wife the message, so I am sure...

Natalie, Thank you so much for all of your hard work. My daughter, Ashley Zahourek, really enjoyed all of the youth activities at Worlds. Our youth are the future of AMHA and you and the youth comittee are doing a great job of making the World Show something fun for them to look forward...

Delta is an excellent carrier for pets. Yes, they do strictly enforce the temperature regulations. All regualtions for that matter. If you are shipping a short nosed breed, then the temperature requirement is even lower than for regular breeds. Make sure you have your veterinarian put a...

The deep fried snickers are frozen candy bars that have been dipped in a pancake like batter and then deep fried. The candy bar barely melts but the outside coating is golden brown. Our State Fair is in 2 weeks and spiral fries with cheese and a Pronto Pup (corn dog) are on the top of my list...

I do soak my cubes and beet pulp together in hot water. It works great, only takes 15 minutes to soften everything when using hot water. I use a separate bucket for each horse. Some of my horses are funny though, they prefer their wet mush to be fed seperately from their grain. Peg Balthazor

My daughter, Ashley, and I are going to be there. We are taking a yearling mare, a Senior Gelding and a Senior Stallion. Can't wait!!! We are having a Youth pizza party on either Thursday or Friday night. The AMHA clubs in the Central Region have all donated money to have this party for our...
