Hi, I've been into AMHR/AMHA horses for a while and have gotten into combined driving lately. I'm beginning to look for an AMHR/ASPC filly to train for combined driving/dressage. My question is--how are ASPC horses normally referred to when measureing? Are the measured to the last hair on...

Thank you to all of you that have PM'ed me. I appriciate all of the offers to help. I'll let you know if I need someone to go look at a horse for me. Everyone has been very helpful!

Welcome from Central California where it's still sunny and there isn't any snow--but to look at my horses coats you'd think there was a blizzard on the way and they're ready! Enjoy the forum there are a lot of great people here. .

Oh my gosh, I wish they'd give up already. I sent in my info and I'm still getting cards asking me to respond. I'm not. Glad to know I'm not alone. Also, I'm glad that I saw something about this on the forum before I was contacted or I would have completely ignored it thinking it was junk...

I'm looking at buying yet another mini. I'm not able to travel across country to look at them in person because I have a 5 month old child right now. This isn't a "Want Add" -- I just looking for information: I was wondering if there are people that can go evaluate horses for buyers--maybe...

I'm looking at purchasing a new horse and have been looking at a lot of horses. One of the horses I am seriously considering is a grey. I am concerned (since I'd probably end up with this horse for it's lifetime) that the horse may end up with melanomas or ? from the sun. Are there ways to...

My question was concerning an ASPC mare that is over the hight requirement for AMHR so isn't double registerable, being bred to an AMHR only registered stallion that isn't ASPC registered. So, from what I gather the resulting foal would only be registerable in the American Show Pony Registry...

Thank you for being so clear--it gets very confusing--makes sense.

If you cross a AMHR only (not AMHR/ASPC) registered horse with an ASPC (only) classic horse can you register the offspring with the AMHR if they meet the hight requirement? If so, how. Please forgive me if this is a question that has previously been asked.

I sent an email to Gini as well. Please let us know how it all works out.

I just had my stallions teeth done by an equine vet/dentist. Make sure in advance that the vet has the proper tools for a mini. For instance, my vet used a speculum to keep my horses mouth open that was designed especially for minis. Make sure if you sedate your mini your vet has an accurate...

WOW! I didn't think that there was such an interest in driven dressage. This is great. I hope that everyone keeps us posted on how dressage is going with their minis. Also, for those of you that can't find a mini or driving trainer to teach you dressage, just go check with a regular ridden...

Yes! Dressage is great for just about any horse. You can do any of the long line things you'd do with a big horse. Also, you can compete in harness with a cart in driven dressage shows. It's just one more fun thing to do with a mini. I use both a combined driving instructor and my ridden...

Does anyone know of any on-line sources to purchase a V-shaped breast collar for an A sized mini? Also, what can I expect to find--any pre-made ones out there with padding? Thanks!

Are you talking about "Kiwi" gate latches? They are shaped like an apostrophie with a small ring to lock it? If it's a "Kiwi" latch I love mine, and I'd like to find more for sale.

Deeper from the back rest to the back of your knees.

My suggestion: make the seats a little deeper than standard or have it as an option. I'm taller and an 11" deep seat leaves me feeling like I'm constantly re-adjusting myself for comfort etc. and it feels like I'll slide out of it. I'm currently looking for a new cart and one of the things...

So, what is realistic to expect of my trainer when I sit down to talk to her? I just want to be fair. Since we have a lot of contacts in common, how would we figure out who's lead it was etc? So, if someone purchases him from an add that I place and I show him to them, my trainer wouldn't get...

I just talked to my trainer again. I told her we need to work out who is doing what in regards to my horse. Her response was that she just showed him to another trainer here in town.... but didn't give me an answer in regards to what we are doing. I set up a time to meet and talk with her...
