Very, very pretty girl!! What a great trot! Congratulations!

Hmmmmm, I will keep that in mind while looking. I know I prefer horses the size of my stallion and he is 33 1/4 but I thought I was in the minority. Will also keep a close eye on mares who aren't bred. I guess it's just my impatience talking.....

It seems like the mares have it.... not giving any less importance to the boys but everyone is right. I have been looking for 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 packages but then I get tempted by some outstanding stallions. A 3 in 1 package would be great because it would give me something to show this year and...

Hi Jill!! I'm afraid upgrading would be going from none to something on the mare side. I'd have nothing but stallions if I had my way but it's hard to have a breeding program that way.

I have been out of minis for years except for my little Buckeroo bred stallion who has been a pet. Now I want to get started again with a small but quality breeding program. I have a limited budget but do have some funds set aside just for minis. My question is what would you recommend...

Anyone know how phone bidding works? I know I can't make it to the sale but would love to be able to bid on a couple.

Thanks, Jan! I will keep that in mind. This was a point on their head under their ear. It works great to keep a horse calm for shoeing, trimming, shots, etc. If I remember correctly it was a breeder on the west coast and might have done 4-H. It's been such a long time ago that I can't...

Hi Jill!! Still around. I still have my little dun Buckaroo bred stallion but he is the last remaining mini. He is pretty much retired except for an occasional drive for the grand chilluns. It's good to see you too!!

Years ago, one of the miniature horse breeders had an article on their website about massage and stretches for minis. It mentioned a pressure point that could be used to calm a fractious horse. I was hoping to find the original article to use as a reference. Does anyone remember the article...

Well.. if there is one thing I am qualified to do it's shovel.... manure. Can you imagine how much 300 horses are going to produce? I will be working at the Lamar-Dixon Expo center. I just got the confirmation letter and contact information. Hopefully no one will shoot at me.

I am taking two weeks leave from work and volunteering in New Orleans. They need volunteer with horse experience to care for the hundreds of horses they have rescued. I won't actually be in New Orleans (I don't think) but based out of Tylertown, MS. Conditions are still bad there. They...

Hey Stephanie, It is a good idea. Here is another one: Horse Motel

I was distressed to read the following post on another list. It worrys me that the money that so many thousands of people have donated is not reaching LA and that so many animals have died. Cindy Forwarded with permission...

I'm so sorry for their loss.

Thanks to all. I think... that it's going to be sorrel, minimal splash pattern. I'm really glad that everyone likes him. I'm going to try to get some pictures of him trotting as he just floats with tail up over his back or at least he did until I took him away from Momma.
