We have used cattle panels for much of our horse fencing for the past 35 or so years and had no real issues with it (and it does keep out big dogs). As others have said the small spaces at the bottom and ours always sits on the ground and maybe even burried just a bit. Here the fencing around...

Check out the UPDATE on the original post.

With todays genetic testing it looks like any white markings (not appy or scars or roaning) on a horse are related to one or the other of the pinto patterns. As far as the socks I have a mare I think I've shown on here before with little socks. She is homozygous for tobiano. No other white on...

Hey Jody, Thanks for your input. Why don't you contact Frank to get a better understanding of this concept.

..."these classes are for the modern, athletic, using type of horses many are breeding today." Horses with more of a 'stock' type of conformation which I suspect there are thousands of them out there just waiting for a place to show. Now they can go show in their halter classes then go drive or...

Val, a good question and this exactly was brought up at the meeting. Frank broke it down financially for the membership. As I understand it, the classes on which there is a moratorium are classes divided off of an already existing class (like another height break etc)and the class they are...

How awesome is this? Starting 2014 AMHA will offer a Halter Stock Horse Division. All of the details are not worked out yet, but local shows can offer classes and there will be 11 classes at World in 2014. For those who breed and prefer the more stock type miniature horse.Now IS The Time...

I have a question. I assume the feeling that AMHA should have testing for dwarfism be mandatory includes AMHR? So having said that, Everyone says miniatures come from Shetlands, so why not start at the root of the problem and have ASPC require testing? Wouldn't that be the place to start? As...

Cute baby. What you are seeing is clipped off winter or foal hair. It will usually not have a nice color to it till his yearling/summer coat comes in. Be sure to keep his weight up to keep his hair healthy. I often clip these black coats with a #30 then keep horse blanketed to keep him warm...

Mary, they will only add what you send a copy of the test result for. This JUST passed this morning. It's going to take a little time for the office to get set up, but I can tell you, I will be sending in copies of my foal's DNA color tests with their registration applications. There is supposed...

I just found out that the 'other' AMHA (American Morgan Horse Assoc) already does this. :o))))

Listen up peeps! COLOR GENETICS! You will soon be able to have your tested color genetics of your horse put on your AMHA Registration certificates! Frank designed and made the presentation at the BOD meeting. It passed with flying colors. So now that white horse that is actually a black horse...

Congratulations! Was there an excessive amount of fluid with the delivery? Just wondering. Looking forward to seeing pix of your little guy!

I sure don't mean to be an alarmist, but I've just had experience with hydroallantois and maybe you want to be aware of this rare condition. http://veterinarynews.dvm360.com/dvm/Veterinary+Equine/Hydrops-rare-but-know-signs/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/13320 In the case I had the mare didn't...

Very sad news and a great loss to the miniature breed. Condolences to her family and friends.

Beautiful!

Hi Cabbage Patch! Minimor gave you good info above. It sounds like it would be close to impossible to find the original registrations on these horses. If you know exactly what their registered names are/were you could ask here on LB for those with stud book access to do a search for you to get...

These are excellent nylon insulated blankets for dogs and would work well for foals too. http://www.jefferspet.com/breathe-comfort-dog-blanket/camid/PET/cp/0027209/cn/100001/ But for a wet newborn always use fleece to help them dry.
