Why? People buy them and money is being made. Same with horses there are some who would think the 30-75 dollar auction prices to KB is money being made. Sad but true.

While it does not paint a pretty picture it does paint a somewhat accurate one. I have seen many breeders throw away those oversize horses. We do have many who have thrown out conformation for color and size. Those who frequent here might not do those things but the truth is there is plenty...

Wonderful pictures I did see them on another site. Not so sure I would call it abuse I would have to agree with Tony in that respect. Tony what a wonderful resource of information you are!

If you are looking for those that will bring the most entries I would suggest the ammy driving classes, ladies and gentlemens classes as well as costume and versatility

This is a very sad situation for those who did not get the placings at the actual show due to what happened as well as for those owners who trusted the right thing was being done by their trainers.

While I agree I think the point many are making is with a lawsuit AQHA accepted the cremello horses are actual QH based on pedigree and papers of sire and dam. Many are concerned that AMHA can not financially make it with another law suit.

So then the OSF gets the same amount of points as a Area show but does not have to have the same amount of required classes as other area shows? The simple answer here is being avoided by the BOD. Simply change the rule about how many judges Moderns can show under. That would solve this whole...

I am sure the home office will be getting tons of calls from local clubs and those who help run state fairs all over the country. Everyone should now expect to get their share of the pie. I can not see how it is legally or ethically acceptable to allow one state fair to get dollars and triple...

Well we all know for either registry it will take more then closing hardshipping to rightfully be able to call it a breed.

We all understand hurt feelings that does not mean that to avoid it the registry and all the members should continue to pay for a show and allow additional points given at a show.

I have heard the same thing but one would have to then question the actual budget of youth programs at Nationals and Congress? I would take a guess that the Congress budget for the youth programs meaning give aways, pizza parties and activities is less then $8000.00 with more children from our...

LOL true but spending the day being pushed, prodded, knocked to the ground all in the name of holiday gift giving can make one feel slightly homicidal if even only for a moment.

While I agree it is great exposure those same farms also get paybacks as a reward. There are plenty of state fairs around the country which offer the same great exposure without needing or getting money from the registry. If you want to talk about exposure and PR why not look for areas that...

The history of the show is great. There are a lot of shows with history. If those who attend want to earn their triple points they can travel to Area shows like the rest of us do. Otherwise why not give more money to state fairs in other areas who do not have any other sanctioned show options...

I would think the best place to start is to significantly reduce the membership fee with no late fee penalties to those who were members previously and left and went strictly AMHR. AMHA is just losing out on all of those who are still in the breed and registering animals. Why not make it very...

So lets see if I understand this someone opted to use their stallion to breed a mare that they felt was not breeding worthy. They said over and over they did not feel good about the choice but in the end kept the mare and made sure she she was covered by the stallion for a price. Now somehow...

If all stallions are truly rounded up and gelded then I will think this is a great idea.

Like you said there are many different ways to feed. It is one of those things that is as subjective as show quality and conformation You just have to go with what you feel works for you and your horses.

In her defense the paperwork was sent back to her. All she knows is that the office told her the report was not filed. She does not realize that you bred her horse after feeling it was really not quality you felt it should have been. You chose to breed the horse period. You cannot be angry at...

Wow my weanlings and yearlings would explode on 12 cups of grain +hay a day. My vets really prefer as little grain as possible and instead very good quality alfalfa mix hay with a all around vitamin. When I do feed grain I choose whole oats. I find they really stay shape on this diet and it is...
