So happy for you! He is really special and a Prince grandget to boot - what's not to love?

I would be willing to do the research in Illinois.

I've been saying the same thing about the lack of AMHA shows in our area for years, and I do hope that the new Community Shows program will help to revive them, but at this point I worry it's too little too late. The small AMHR shows are so well-established it's going to be hard to convince the...

My issue with Einstein is that they continue to market him as "Smallest Stallion." As long as he remains a stallion, they are insinuating that he is a breeding horse. Whether or not he is a dwarf, he is very clearly not breeding quality, and while we can go back and forth about personal...

I think my feelings on the dwarfism genes are pretty well known at this point, but I will say that if a mare is purchased in an auction setting I think it is buyer beware. While many good horses are sold through auctions, I also think many seemingly great horses are sold through auctions for...

Fantastic mare!

I'm surprised by how much I agree with the general consensus on all three counts! Euthanasia, as others have said, is the easy one. I 100% believe that if you have come to a point where you can do no more to ease your animal's suffering, giving them a quick and painless end is part of being a...

I'd say try the nice route, but it sounds like you already have. While I wouldn't go to extremes yet, because he sounds like the type that may be looking for a fight, I would start getting your ducks in a row with signage and by documenting everything as others have suggested. I had a similar...

What a cool boy! Congratulations!

No wonder you are giddy - what an awesome mare!

What a lovely filly! Congratulations!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Supreme was truly before his time - a wonderful example of what the popular Arenosa line could do for the minis, well before it was trendy. I've had the pleasure of owning two Supreme get and still own his son Challenger who is 18 this year and as spirited as ever. I...

Even in your grief it is clear what an amazing woman you are Marty. Thank you for sharing a little bit of yourself with all of us - that little bit has always made such a big difference on the forum. I hope you will also share this with others that are grieving; I think your honesty will mean...

I would recommend spending a little time in the stands first. When you see a horse you like or a handler you're impressed with, make note of their name and number when it's announced in the placings. Later, you can hunt those people down and give them a specific compliment about how much you...

Thanks again everyone for the support and well wishes - if everyone disagreed with me it wouldn't change my mind, but knowing that others understand where I'm coming from has really been good for my heart. I had some beginners out today, and I've had so much on my mind lately that I think I...

I can't tell you guys how much I appreciate the support, but at the same time I want to be clear that I don't expect any back-patting for my decision. I know many, many people disagree with me, including people with far more experience, and I respect their opinions too. In fact, judging by...

Tremor, I will be glad to post pictures of Tink to the educational thread as she grows. Vic, they are all questions that I have definitely answered for myself. I did hesitate to announce my dwarf for the above reasons. As I noted on another thread before Tink was born, without a test right now...

Well here goes! I said over a week ago I would be making this post, and I've given myself plenty of time to reflect as well as to let my emotions settle. First I'd like to show off our 2012 foals. Rock Rivers Reckless Road Runner (Roady) Rock Rivers Reckless With Rum (Rummy) Tinker (aka...

What a lovely, leggy, upright girl! Clearly the filly fairy was saving something special for you.

We like it so far - lots of good character acting!
