We have a 3 year old AMHR gelding that we just gelded 3 months ago. He was born here on our miniature horse farm. His dam and 2 of his sisters (all 3 from same dam) are in the mare pasture. The dam (mom) is 16 years old, the 2 sisters are 4 & 5 years old. We have waited 3 months since gelding...

For those of us that will be sleeping in our horse trailers - how far away from the barns are they parked? And do you use the RV/Camper area for hookups; or do you use a generator for your lights, etc in your living area? For those sleeping in the stalls - are there showers, etc. to use when...

I just received an e-mail from Cathy B in the AMHR show dept. She says they just received their AMHR 2010 Nationals class information and it is right now being proofed and it should be on their website later this afternoon if no revisions are needed.

Hi, I went to my 2nd show this past weekend - lots of fun - but it was very hot and I decided I need to get some type of "mini" show stall gate for when I go to the AMHR Nationals. What do you use for your show stall gate, if you made it if you have pics that would really, really help; if you...

About a week ago I posted whether or not to clip my 2 mini's that were going to be in a show this weekend (due to it being so cold at that time). I went ahead and clipped them both, bought them blankets - now that the show is over I am glad I did. I could only go to the first day of the show so...

What type of blanket do I need to purchase for this time of year (upper 40's - lower 60's at night) once I full body clip my mini? What is the best type of material, etc. in your opinions. Also, if I can't find one specifically for a mini - will a regular size foal blanket work?

Hi, I am taking two of my mini's to their and my first show this weekend. It has been raining here and still quite chilly for 2 weeks. So... my plans were to show clip them both - but my mini's are "outside" minis - and I feel like for their benefit it is too chilly right now to clip them like...

I need some training ideas on how to train one of my mini's to side pass for halter obstacle class. What ways have worked best for all of you that show. This will be my first show (in 3 weeks!) and will be my mini's first show. She is one year old. I would have liked to have shown her in a...

Hi, This is going to be my first year out in the show ring with all of you Excited, nervous, etc. all at the same time. I still have quite a bit of work to do - once it gets a little warmer here in Missouri!! Anyway, I have been looking at show halters and wondered if there is a reason you...

What do you require of the outside mares that are bred to your stallions? Do you require the mare to have a current coggins and health papers? Do you charge mare care if the mare is to stay at your farm? Any other info is appreciated also.

I've been watching Mountain Shadow at Silver Belle Farms now for several weeks - as it says her due date was 2/19/09. I just checked in a while ago and someone had put a High Alert on her (but it has now been removed); but she is pawing alot, etc.!!! Hoping maybe tonight!!!! Good Luck Silver...

Does anyone know best places that you can purchase frozen mare colostrum? We live in Missouri. I tried to Google it and didn't get real good results.

Hi everyone! I bought "The Complete Book of Foaling" that quite a few on here recommended - and I agree it is a very good book. But it is referencing regular size horses as examples - so I still have a few questions for you breeding pros out there When you give a Fleet enema to a mini do you...

Hi, I have 3 mares that are pregnant (or suppose to be) Blood work last fall came back positive for 1 of them; boarderline for the other; and then I purchased a filly that was (of couse) pasture bred ugh - so no idea on her - she looks very prego. The two I know about are 254-264 days along...
