    Just moved to Texas and looking for shows!

    I have a 38" gelding that I always thought would be a great CDE horse. He has a dressage type build, very up hill movement. He loves to drive! He's pretty quick and agile too, and brave!

    Just moved to Texas and looking for shows!

    Im just south of Houston in Hitchcock. Almost all of them drive. I just want something fun to do with them that doesn't require registration.

    Just moved to Texas and looking for shows!

    Hi all! I just moved to the Gulf Coast area of Texas from Southeast NC and I am looking for some shows I can take my minis to. Most of my minis are not currently registered and I am having trouble finding open shows or shows that don't require registration. My daughter wants to show my gelding...

    Registration Question

    That's her! But that is not who I bought her from. What would I have to do to bring her permanent?

    Registration Question

    I recently bought a little mare who came with World Class papers, which from what I hear, don't really hold much weight. My question is that on her papers under her Registry number there is a part that says OTHER NOS.: AMHA A 166171. Does this mean she is AMHA registered? Thanks ya'll for any...

    So I bought my first Shetland...

    He is a 12 year old silver-ish stallion. Kind of a rescue deal. I felt really bad for the poor guy, he seems to have had a rough go round. He's been passed around alot. He has a very kind disposition once he gets to know you. Not a mean bone in his body. The halter he had on he must have...

    Pigeon Wing Blinders

    I came across a mini team harness for sale and the bridles had pigeon wing blinders. We used to use these on our mules so I was thinking that maybe the harness was for a mini mule team. Just out of curiosity, does anyone use these with their minis or mini mules for that matter? What do you...

    Dog chasing horses

    We had a stray that started chasing our horses a few years ago. My husband opened up some bird shot and replaced the pellets with rice. Wont kill them but puts a nice sting on them. If they dont learn, then I'd put the pellets back in.

    Bitting question!

    Thanks everyone! He was a little better today. He relaxed a lot while we were ground driving and stopped chewing for a short time. I think I might try to get him a french link or a mullen.

    Bitting question!

    As ya'll know I have been training my deaf mini to drive. So far heis doing really well. All of our ground driving has been with a halter so far. Today I switched out the cheek pieces on my driving bridle with the cheek pieces on a mini riding bridle so that I could make an open driving...

    Winter Woolies - should they grow back THAT fast?

    My boys are starting to coat up too! The days are getting shorter. I'm not showing this year but I will be driving so everyone will be getting trace clips soon.

    Balance issues in a mini... would one ear being deaf affect balance?

    I have a deaf splash white stallion. Neither one of his ears are white and he is still deaf. She may very well be partially deaf, but I think the balance problems might be something else.

    Anderson or Parelli

    My grandfather used to "throw" horses on the ground. I have seen it work wonders! I'm sure it's not applicable to every horse/situation but I have seen it done and work. I am a huge Clinton supporter. I have used his method on several horses, minis and full size and it has never let me down...

    My Poor Mare.

    I am so sorry to hear that something so terrible happened! I know that not knowing just what happened has to be hard. Thoughts and prayers your way for a speedy recovery, and may karma catch up to whom ever did this to your precious baby!

    My little Whinny is gone...

    I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my special boy to impaction colic not even a month ago. Still can't talk about him without tearing up. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Question for show drivers

    Funny you should say that disneyhorse, because that was my first thought. That it had something to do with trying not to inhibit the action of the front end. I have also see the wrapping of the traces around the shafts. What kind of effect will pulling from the saddle have on a horse?
