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

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...

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...

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!

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...

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?

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!

Red River Horse Club in Leonard, Texas, has opened up three miniature halter classes in their show series. They have separate classes for mares, geldings, and stallions. The first show was today and I was the only one with a mini there, but there were others there, scoping it out! It was a...

I know in Hunter classes the horse has to maintain the same gait throughout. Are they penalized if they land in a canter and continue in a trot? Also, do most of you prefer to take them through at a canter or a fast trot? Thanks.

I need to measure my mini for her permanent papers and for showing, where can I find a measuring stick? I've been to a couple sites and can't find one! Or...does anyone know how to make one? Thanks.

I am interested in finding out more information about my kiddos' bloodlines. How do I go about that? I have their papers, but I want to find out if the ancestors have done anything in the show world. Are there any good sites to research miniature bloodlines? Thanks.

I've sent an email, it says it requires a password, but I can't figure out how to login. Can anyone help me? I haven't heard from AMHR in 4 days! Thanks.

Some of you may have read my post regarding my two "kids", Painted Perfections Dazzling Doll and Indian Creeks Preacher Man. Well, we had a minor accident here not too long ago...one of the dogs decided papers were to eat. Since I had my AMHR papers out, ready to transfer and join, I lost...

I'm just full of questions today. I am going to be competing at local open shows this summer and I'm wondering, how do my kiddos qualify for points? Thanks so much for all the help!

My miniature mare LOVES to jump. I've built one fence for her from PVC, just a little vertical, but I think the ground line is off a little. I'd like to build some more since she loves it and I'd like to have a "course" for her. Could you show me some of the things you have created? Thank...

I hope you all can help me out! I have two miniatures that I love dearly, but I don't know much about their bloodlines. I'm still working on figuring them out and I'm hoping for some input. AMHR registered - Painted Perfections Dazzling Doll AMHR registered - Indian Creeks Preacher Man...

I was grooming my little coming three year old filly yesterday and discovered some filling in front of her udder area. Please tell me this is a fat deposit! As far as I know, there is no way she can be bred! Her udder isn't any larger, just the area in front of it. She's never had this...

I have a 36" coming 3 year old filly that weighs about 280 pounds with a tape. She is poofy and I've never been able to feel her ribs, but I've been exercising her to try and get some off. However, it's getting cold and I don't want to get her sick...we pasture keep our horses. So, when do...

I've been reading the posts on locked stifles and now I'm confused. My 6 month old stud colt has a locked left stifle, due to an apparent injury. He is cow hocked, but probably will grow out of it. Vet hasn't seen him, but said to bring him in the morning to have surgery to unlock it. Should...
