    Show Conditioning

    Minimum of 90 days before the first show. If pony/horse is not in too bad of shape (i.e. too fat) you might be able to get away with 60 days lead in time. Depends on how hard you want to work said beastie too. I normally feel the first 30 days are "legging up" time - just to get some...

    AMHR/ASPC Point Systems

    I disagree with the 'warm states' as having an advantage. We may have a longer show season, but we don't have as many shows offered. in the end it IS a trailer race - many divisions I could have been #1 if I had just showed that class at (insert show here) HOY/POY is really poorly done...

    Congress 2011

    Yikes! Here we go again is right! I vote for rotating years - even years on East Coast (OH, IL, KY, TN) odd years on West coast - ( NV, AZ, CA,sorry those are the best places I can think of that have good facilities - wouldn't you LOVE to show in Vegas? or Scottsdale?) Lock in facility for...

    Trimming feet

    I do my own in the winter. It's cooler. I can SIT under my pony and do him. he's actually better for me, than my farrier. I leave the farrier work to show season, hot weather, or if I am putting on shoes.

    Horse Insurance

    Most companies have a minimum on their policy, and I find that to be around $200.00 That is for mortality insurance. Add major medical and that adds some more premium - depending on how much medical you buy. Some are an additional $250 for a standard amount of $7500 or $10,000 (will...

    Miniature Nationals

    Instead of complaint after complaint - there is nothing wrong with complaining, it is how we get things to change; HOWEVER it would be nice for everyone to add a POSITIVE, POSSIBLE solution along with your complaint! I complain that the schedule needs some tweaking - Who is on the committee...

    Miniature Nationals

    Thanks Amy that's the kind of reply I was looking for, not another re-hash of facilities or money I wanted to know why the show program did not seem more exhibitor friendly and more attuned to a National Caliber show. You imply that it is the way the program is written more than anything...

    Miniature Nationals

    O.K. I admit. I took a look at the mini nationals show prize list for the first time ever today (after 5+ years in Shetlands) I never had an interest in Minis - to each his own. Nothing against them, they are cute, just not for me, as I am bigger so want a bigger pony. I have always wondered...

    Ohio State Fair (OSF)

    My guess would be the payback is much bigger in the classes for ASPR and MOdern

    Which ponies are going to Perry?

    Hi Tina Bringing my classic Shetland- he's the only one I own, so what am I gonna do? Retire him at the ripe old age of 6? LOL I have an ASPR in the wings but she's not quite ready to go out in public yet. between me and a couple of friends I think we're bringing 2 classics, 1 modern...

    Area III Deadline for postmarking your ballots

    So Area 3 with this all said , I am sure you know the outcome of the call ! Nope, sadly this is the FIRST we've gotten anything on it. And you don't even represent us! Guess we should be voting on TWO new directors??? And you will have a new election and it will all be said and done by the...

    Area III Deadline for postmarking your ballots

    QUOTE: ~At the Area 3 Regionals held in Perry, GA I came home really excited to be a member. But, this entire situation has been a true nightmare. I have seen "politics" come into play that I never imagined. I hate to say it...but it has been ridiculous the way this entire process has been and...

    What is your show schedule for next year?

    Looks like Ocala, Summerfield, Ocala, Perry GA, Ocala, OHIO state fair and then IF I have any money possibly Ardmore. Too soon to know how many and where yet. I may just do a couple of local shows and bag the rest and make it an easy year while my filly gets trained.

    Congress - Financial Woes

    An additional thought: How about having the Congress be OCAP eligible? That is a point earning opportunity for ponies (& minis) that are also registered in PtHA. All the more reason to go show at Congress if you can pick up OCAP points. ASPR incentives are helping convince me to take my...

    Congress - Financial Woes

    1) Proposal: Have members sell sponsorships to the show. If a member sells a $250 sponsorship they get one free stall for the show. If they sell $500 sponsor, they get a free stall and a one class entry free. Etc. Get some income. Did I see somewhere that we only had $450 in sponsors?????? If...

    hackney

    I started with a Shetland. Wouldn't trade him for the world, but he does get "pony-tude" now and then. Likes to work, but doesn't always put in his best for you. You have to talk him into it. My intro to Hackneys was when I was given a 15 yr old ex-roadster pony. Dead quiet on the ground, good...

    clipper attack...

    Where in the world do you live that it is snowing already? We are still in the 90's! I don't like Double K clippers anymore. Since they went to the cheap plastic motor housing, they don't seem to do as well as Laubes.
