    75 - 125 Kansas Minis "OMG Please help by WRITING!!"

    How do I get a form to fill out for fostering if it comes to that?

    Has anyone shown in open shows?

    I may be the one "downer" to this. I would suggest letting your Open show coordinators know you are coming. I contacted two in our area to bring my miniatures to and one said, "Bring it on! Any class they qualify for, they are welcome to compete in." The other, not so much. They were good...

    I've checked AMHA.org and can't find a schedule of classes, anyone know it or know where I can find it?

    We really need foster homes!

    I emailed Gini for forms on adoption, but I haven't had a response! I emailed, I think, on Monday. Northeast Texas here, too....

    No desire to pull a cart.

    I've been working with my mini mare for two seasons now, and we're still not close to me riding in the cart! Is it possible that she just has no desire to pull a cart and I shouldn't force her? I ground drove her all last year and have finally gotten all my harness and cart issues fixed. She...

    3 FREE MINIS, REG CLASS A MARE, REG MINI DONK, MINI GELDING

    Is she willing to let someone geld the donkey? If I can manage to get reduced rate shipping from somewhere, I would be very interested. Is the gelding trained in anything? Feel free to PM me.

    Hay

    No rain in Texas means no hay. There has been a first cutting, but the first cutting is typically for the cows since it is full of weeds and such. Most are keeping their hay for their cattle and some are already having to feed it to the cattle, something unheard of in June in Texas. Usually...

    Probably a dumb harness question - help!

    This harness that I have was purchased for me and I have been struggling with it for over a year. Thankfully, last year I was just ground driving so the other attachments didn't really matter. Now, after fixing the too short traces and the too long crupper strap, I can't figure out the...

    Thyroid questions

    Let me tell you about this mare and see what you think. She's never been bred, she's three this year. She lost her coat like the big horses this year and didn't need to be clipped, which is a first. However, her hair is longer than our other minis'. She gets exercise, about 10 to 20 minutes...

    Thyroid questions

    I've been doing some research because I have a suspicion my mare has some thyroid issues. However, I can't find much out there! Can anyone tell me the symptoms of hypo and hyper thyroidism? I need some background information before I can convince my husband we need the vet to test her!

    Dangers of Cattle Panels

    If I had to do it over again, I would not use cattle panel! I have cattle panel on posts on one paddock and the little ones can get their feet through it as well as those nasty points where the panel was cut. I've had one gelding running away from me (never handled, just purchased) run right...

    farrier

    Okay, the price of gas went up so it costs more to get to you, so the price of a trim will increase as well. If the farrier never increased the prices, there would never even be a "cost of living" raise in their lives. The cost of a trim also includes the cost of the equipment they use to trim...

    Looking for a Companion horse

    Thank you all for your advice and your help. I have forwarded all responses to Promise Ranch. Though, I'm thinking about the Disneyland Boys!

    Looking for a Companion horse

    I wouldn't normally do this, but the cause is close to my heart. I am looking for a companion miniature for 25+ miniature mare at a hipptherapy ranch. The Promise Ranch is a non-profit organization that offers hippotherapy services to special needs children and their families for NO COST...

    Deadly Nightshade Strikes Again

    How do you get rid of it? We have it...grows in disturbed pasture. And, with the drought, then the small bits of rain, and the no hay...I really have to worry. We have so much pasture that it's hard to find every plant and I want to spray, but I have horses on the fields! I was terrified to...

    Registration question

    Can a horse be registered with either AMHR or AMHA if the height requirement is met, but the parents are either unknown or unregistered? If the horse meets the breed requirements for looks and quality?

    Cart question

    I have a training cart for my mini mare...problem is, the shafts are smooth. How in the heck do you attach the harness and keep it in place with smooth shafts? Do I have to add something? Help!

    Horse show series in Northeast Texas

    Yes, these are "open" shows. They do offer a belt buckle for high point winners at the end of the series. It was nice for us to go only 30 minutes down the road to a show just to give our newbie an experience! Most of the sanctioned shows are about 3 hours from here and I hate to spend all...

    Horse show series in Northeast Texas

    Leonard is probably an hour and a half from Ft. Worth, about an hour or less from Dallas. It's about 30 miles north of Interstate 30 on Hwy 69.
