I know Getitia is too humble to post this herself :-), and I hope she will forgive me for posting, but this is exciting news for those of us who love the Mathenys and their horses. Les and Getitia Matheny of Buckeye Walnut Creek Farm have been awarded 2010 AMHR Breeder of the Year...

Corey Hatfield posted this on FaceBook. Thought I would pass it on. Looks nice! New Jacobson Horse Arena - Iowa State Fair 2010 Iowa State Fair has over 500 videos posted, so I'm sure there are more of the arena or horse barns.

IMO, this video shows a mini being abused. The rider probably weighs almost twice what the mini does, and the mini looks very young. If you agree, you can report it through YouTube. Perhaps getting is removed would avoid other equally stupid people from getting the same idea.

I have been trying for a long time to catch some of my colt's antics on video tape. He'll do this for hours, but he stopped if he sees you. He started playing this morning while I was sitting at my desk, and I decided that a video taken from the office window is better than no video at all...

I will finally have driving mini against next year, and I was thinking about submitted a rule-change proposal next year to add Precision Driving for AMHR. (See page 146-147 in the AMHR/ASPC 2008 Rule Book). Do you think there would be enough interest? Seems much more interesting than...

I found this very disturbing, as the way this mare is being "helped is very dangerous for the mare. I know there are a lot of people who are new to foaling on this board, so I'm posting this not to criticize the person in the video, but in hopes that someone can learn from it. You should never...

I started a poll on the mini forum about show points. I would very much like the opinion of pony people on this as well. I know a lot of you look at both forums, but just in case, here is the link: http://www.miniaturehorsetalk.com/index.php?showtopic=120450 Please respond to that thread...

In some ways, our point systems is quite different from the systems other breeds use. In your opinion, what are some of the positives and negatives about the ASPC/AMHR HOF, All Star, and POY point systems? (Now please be nice and do not bash the office staff or show managers if you've had bad...

First, I want to state that I am fortunate in that this has not happened to me. The people I buy from and sell to have always been very ethical in how they treated me, and I try to do the same. But I see what follows as a growing problem, and believe that the privacy of sales is something we...

Anyone know how the location is selected for Convention? Is it rotated from Area to Area each year? Just curious. Thans

Those of you who have an interest in showmanship may find this useful. It is AQHA, so the rules may be slightly different, but the principles are the same. http://www.americashorse.tv/video.html?video=d271bada-23c9-480a-90e3-560e645030d4

I need to purchase a few winter blankets for minis. I'm looking for recommendations on where to purchase blankets that fit and hold up well. Thanks

I guess it is not unusual for a horse to be "used" by a judge but not place in the class. Would be nice if these were recognized with an honorable mention in the youth classes. Personally, I don't think it needs to be done for Open or Amateur classes. Just a suggestion. I have no youth, so...

I noticed they started giving red ribbons for first place at AMHR Nationals. Anyone know why?

I'm having trouble tracking down the URL for the webcast of AMHR Nationals. I know this has probably been asked and answered, but can someone please provide the URL? Thanks

Can someone please explain to me why premiums are so much higher for Moderns and ASPRs than they are for Classics and Foundations? They are anywhere from 2x to 5x higher for Moderns and ASPR If you look at All-Star results each year, you'll see that substantially more Classics and Foundations...

For the most part, we show and train our own ponies, but I'm the first to admit that I am not the person to handle them at a National level show. No matter how good the pony, we would probably not have shown them well enough to win if it were not for the people who agreed to handle them. Leah...
