The AMHA sends lots of money home with gelding owners. AMHA Gelding Incentive Fund The AMHA Gelding Incentive Fund (GIF) provides a unique opportunity for Youth and Amateur exhibitors to increase the value of their geldings through competition. This distinctive program offers cash awards to...

This is not going to be popular. It is about the horses going though this auction that were in poor physical condition; obviously hungry for some great length of time. This auction has a choice. The people attending this auction have choices. When an animal that has been neglected shows up...

A well trained pinto AMHA gelding near that height just went in the $3,500 range in the world sale to an exhibitor for her grandkids. The horse had shown and "done well", but I don't think he had the record your boy seems to.

You look and research. Breeding is an art and a science, and in this country it's up to breeders to educate themselves. Showing is part of what every breeder should do - have your horses evaluated by judges, people who travel the country and see a lot of miniature horses. Nathan, I just saw...

Really, please do stop pointing the stick at me. That stick man might fall and poke his eye out!! Because I lot of folks don't know AMHA rules I want to point out that you have to put a $100 deposit down to present a challenge, and if you are correct you get your money back. If you are wrong...

Hi LisaF, I was the one who posted about hair implanting. My first thought about changing where we measure was no, but really as long as everyone has to play by the same rules I don't care what spot we pick. I'm sure if any of the honest people on this forum had proof of anything abusive to a...

I just wanted to throw another 2cents out there. There are things about the AMHA that I don't agree with, but as it's not the AMHA of Telquest Miniature Horse Farm that is to be expected. There are a lot of people putting in a lot of time to create things that benefit those beyond themselves...

Diane, My focus from your post was on the word intelligence, your focus was on those two lines of my post. Yes, if you do attend national meetings you will learn things. That's the whole point. I as said I have learned enough to change my opinions in the past, changing my vote. Off topic...

Why are you using intelligence in quotes? Who are you quoting? It's not me. I am frankly offended that just because I disagree with you that you feel the need to put nasty or sarcastic words in my mouth. I think this is further proof that you cannot have a conversation on a forum. You...

Ms Buntz I think you made my point for me. I did not say the general membership was stupid, you read something into my post that wasn't there. We probably wouldn't be having this problem if we were having a face to face discussion.

I don't think a forum for discussion would ever work. At the national meetings you have to sit down to listen to what others have to say. Sometimes, amazingly, that means you learn something. With a discussion forum it is to easy to get stuck in your own point of view, not comprehend what...

We have a mare that was due on April 28th. She's on the TV right now, and man, B budget horror movies are the only things keeping me up on my watch. Best of luck with yours.

This is Trailblazer, a 15 year old under 28" gelding.

Everyone with a computer and the time to talk on little beginnings has it good compared to many others in this world. Honestly, if somone chooses to surround themselves with luxury and excess that is no one's business but their own, but, when that comes at the horrible expense of someone else...

We've had a horse recover from it with daily trips to the vet for IV dextrose and intensive home care. Might ask about heparin. Keeping the foal on the mare will only make it harder for her to recover at this point. Keep the foal where she can see and touch it, but do not allow it to nurse...

I would start her out in country. It's a little less intense and judged on in part on manners - a nice thing for everyone in the ring to have if it is her first time driving.

GoGO Magic Flame Shield, I'm gonna need it for this one. Honestly, why would people care if they are breeding low quality or unregistered horses or not? Peer pressure, what other people think is one of the things that effects the behaviour of other people, and yet there are pages and pages of...

No milk and a red bag? Was she on fescue? Get on the phone call local breeders, your vet, whoever. Someone has some frozen colostrum. You do not want to wait for morning on this one. Edit add: Proper order of go, call your vet first.

It's not just about the kid that is showing the stallion, its about everyone else in the ring too. Am I the only one here that have ever seen a less experienced youth get nervous in the ring and start creeping up on the horse in front of them? If you do show a stallion, you not only have to...

Margo, Two rule changes that I have helped with are in review by committee right now. If you would like some help feel free to e-mail me and I can double check your work. I also have coming a number of the 2008 rule books for our club members and interested parties in NM. Regards,
