    Am I the only one who has lost my nerve?

    I rode this morning for the first time in over a year. Today is one of those absolutely beautiful days that you wait for after a long hot summer - sunny, cool and no humidity. When I was younger, I would've been out on the trails all day on a day like today. I guess that's why I felt the need...

    Who is showing at the AMHR/ASPC show at the Darke County Fair in Ohio this year?

    Just curious to see who was planning to go! We are planning on going for halter classes on Saturday. We really want to go for performance on Friday but that is our first week back in school, so just can't make it. So, we'll probably haul in Friday night. It really is an affordable show -...

    A couple of candid show shots of my girls

    We went to our first show of the season yesterday - and the girls' second show ever. They love showing and the Buckeye Miniature Horse Club does a great job of putting together a nice, informal fun show. It's a great way to get your feet wet in the show ring (literally too since it seems to be...

    AMHR Transfer Question

    I hope someone can help! I am trying to get all of my paperwork completed and finish transfers for my boys. I didn't get a chance to call the office this week to ask this, so I'm hoping someone here knows the answer. I am transferring and updating one from temporary to permanent - the...

    AMHR Registration Question

    I bought a miniature gelding in October. He was 3 years old and the seller stated he was registered with AMHR. After I loaded him in the trailer, she hands me papers which are completed applications - so he was never registered. That was fine, I know his breeder so I figured I could get...

    We all know February and hearts go hand in hand! We've all heard the Heart Association's Go Red campaign. But February is also the time for Congenital Heart Defects Awareness. Congenital Heart Defects are the #1 birth defect. Source: March of Dimes Congenital Heart Defects are the #1 cause...

    Cargo Trailer Conversion?

    I have been looking for a trailer for a while now, but I'm having a hard time finding exactly what I want! We still have a full-sized horse that my daughter will be showing in 4-H this year and we enjoy trail riding, so I need to be able to haul him. I also want to safely haul the minis. We...

    Tips for feeding for weight loss??

    I just brought home another gelding to add to our herd tonight. He's 3 years old, approximately 30 inches tall and about 36" wide!! Okay - maybe not that much, but he is VERY round. What have you had success with in feeding to get weight off of a horse. He is definitely not in a healthy...

    Just back from our first show!

    There was an open mini/pony show not too far away today put on by the Buckeye Miniature Horse Club. I decided that would be a great way to introduce the girls to showing. They did fantastic! I am so proud of them and proud of the boys, too. Even if they had come away with nothing, I would...

    Some pictures from our trip out west!

    I know many of you are lucky to live with scenery like this, but this was our first trip west and it was just so beautiful! This first one is my husband and youngest daughter walking through the prairie outside of Walnut Grove, Minnesota. We stopped in Walnut Grove and De Smet, SD, to tour the...

    Introducing our newest gelding to join the herd!

    First of all, a HUGE thank you to Sheryl of Irish Hills Farm! She has given me the opportunity to put two amazing geldings in my barn and my girls and I can't thank her enough! We are so in love! Sheryl is amazing to work with and made it possible for me to bring Jinx home today. So I would...

    Question about headstall/bit?

    Hello! I finally bought a cart and we put Toy to the cart today for the first time. He did great! My question is, since we have been waiting for so long for a cart, we have done a lot of ground driving, and he was doing great with the bit, but now he has started flipping his tongue over the...

    Request for a little boys last Christmas

    *UPDATE 12-14-09* I have removed Nate's address. The reply to the request simply became too overwhelming for the family. They have asked that people not send anymore Christmas cards as it is taking too much of their precious time that they have left to spend with Nate. Nate is also unable to...

    Help me choose a new cart!

    I am learning so much from this new forum! We are working on training our gelding, Toy, to drive. He is around 36". He's doing great with groundwork and now I am getting a cart for Christmas! But I want to do my research and make sure I make the best purchase. Toy is being trained for my...

    Questions re: cart measurements

    I have a chance to get a metal easy entry cart that I think would be great for training Toy next year - especially the price, but I want to make sure the measurements would be right for him. Toy is 36". Can anyone tell me what approximate measurements I'm looking at with regards to length and...
