Can anyone tell me where I might find the panels of judges for this year's Nationals? I've looked everywhere I can think of and usually by now have found it. But not this year. Thanks.

The discussion on another thread leads to several questions. Should AMHA and AMHR have a easy procedure to report animals being used for breeding that are dwarves or show characteristics of dwarfism? Should owners be required to report any mare or stallion that produces a dwarf? Do we as...

As an attempt to encourage more members to attend the World Show, AMHA made a temporary rule change that eases the qualifications for horses to attend the World show. The discussions of that topic had over 2700 views on this forum. People obviously are interested in the future of The World Show...

These two young ladies are starting a new phase in their driving careers. This is the first day as a pair. I hope they continue to enjoy their new roles. As for Dorothy and I… we are still smiling. I have had this wagon for or a number of years and I thought it was about time to do something...

It has been several years since we have driven the Brady Loop Drive with our miniature horses. This is a very easy drive on country roads that make a loop through the farmlands in our area. I think the drive is about three to four miles on or along paved roads. There is very little traffic on...

It is 20 degrees outside and we have about three inches of snow on the ground. Not much snow by some of your standards and not all that cold compared to other places. The Northwest is beautiful when dressed in white. It is scheduled to remain in this pristine state for at least one day prior to...

I made a list of things that I noticed during my first time at the AMHR National show. They are not listed in any order of preference. Maybe some others have their own list. Feel free to join in, as I am sure I missed some things. I was amazed at the number and the overall quality of the...

We just returned from the vet with our little mare Red. For the second time in 5 months, she has required IV Calcium. I have had horses for many years and have read about a condition called Thumps, a metabolic condition, usually seen in horses whose electrolytes are out of whack due to hard...

The weather here in Elma is freezing and the roads are not safe to travel this morning. The Winter Drive scheduled for today has been officially canceled. The weather forecast is not promising any improvement. Perhaps the drive can be re-scheduled next month. Ron

It is that time of year and we are thinking about the second annual winter drive during Christmas break. Last year about 20 people joined us on the trail. This is a fun drive and it is a chance to drive that VSE one more time this year. For this drive, Very Special Equines include all sizes of...

Some people expressed an interest in the Smart Cart as a show vehicle for Country Pleasure classes. I just got this from the official photographer. Ron Whiteman

Here is an update on the winter drive in Brady. We drove the car around the area this morning. There are several ways to drive that form a loop. The first loop is 4.3 miles with a maximum elevation of 55.2 feet. The second loop is the whole area, which is about 7.7 miles .The third loop, is...

We are thinking about taking a day during Christmas break and driving our VSE ( Very Special Equines) around the Brady Loop Road. This is an county road near Montesano that has very light traffic . The drive would start at a local boat launch and pass by local farm land which includes a...

I was just reading the proposals for rule changes for amateurs on page 193 of the THE JOURNAL. Does anyone else see a problem with the proposal to revise Section III Part 3 ? I am not sure how a wife , husband, or significant other of a professional trainer is any different than a person who...

I have some dark, sorta looks like mildew, growth on a wooden cart. I have tried several types of soap but it does not want to come off. Any ideas? Thanks

Those of you that live in the Pacific Northwest may want to come take a look at the CDE at Lincoln Creek. I hear there are 11 VSE entries. The dates are Aug. 13 th. and 14th. The directions should be found at www.lincolncreekevents.com Drive a KM or two today. Ron
