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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I was just watching a video on YouTube that was a compilation type thing of some roadster/pleasure driving in what I would guess is a warm up deal at a show. The horses were beautiful, the video was beautiful! My question is about the breastcollars on the horses. Now mind you I dont do alot...

Several months ago I purchased a lovely little splash stallion with hopes of making him my next driving gelding (waiting for fly season to end!). Well I found out about a month ago that he is completely deaf. As you can imagine, I was a little disheartened. I have never owned a deaf horse nor...

As some of you may know, I was brought up driving work horses and mules. Alot of the do's and don'ts I was brought up with I have found to be different in the more traditional, carriage driving world. I was always told by Grandpa that you don't canter horses in harness. This is like a big...

On Sunday August 26th at 7:12pm I lost my Blue Boy. He was my first mini, my favorite mini, my everything. He was the first horse I trained to drive by myself. The first horse to come into my house. With him I showed people that papers aren't everything. Even though he was not registered...

I have a friend at the boarding barn I work at that has started feeding her black horse paprika to help darken his "sun-bleached" coat. Have any of you ever heard of this? Do any of you feed paprika? What are the results? I know that the capsaicin in it will make a horse test positive at...

As some of ya'll might remember I just recently purchased a little stallion (soon to be gelding!), my first since my filly passed last September. He is a sorrel splash, about 5 years old. I have known that splashs run the risk of being deaf but I guess it just never clicked until this morning...

As some of you may remember I lost my mini filly, Sapphire, last September to colic. I have been fighting with myself as to whether or not I wanted to get another. Well I have finally done it! I would like you to meet Froggy. Froggy is a 5 year old, 33", stallion. I am most likely going to...

Just picked up this new driving pony, (sorry not a mini guys!) and I have a bit of a color question. This is Buttermilk, a 12 year old, 43" pony gelding. I am about 90% sure that his base color is gold champagne. He has hazel eyes and mottleing/freckling of the skin around the eyes, nose, mouth...

It has been a while since I have posted on here and miss it so much. I just wanted to let everyone know that I lost my mini filly Blackwater's Painted Sapphire back in September for an unknown reason. She went from being normal and eating breakfast that morning to gone just 12 hours later...

I have a friend that just bought a gelding and his color is stumping me. I have pretty well settled on smokey black. His sire is Little Kings Buck Zeus and mom is WF Huskers Afterglow. His base color looks smokey black to me but he has a vibrantly red mane with a bit darker of a red tail. It...

I was wondering what would be the best age to start ground driving? I have a yearling filly that I do EVERYTHING with in preparation for her driving career. I take her all over, do alot of desensitizing and so forth. I was wondering if it would be too early to hook some lines on her halter...

Do they make hot walkers in mini size? Or do you "modify" them to suit the minis? Do any of you use them? I dont mean the little merry go round pony ride things, I mean the electric hot walkers with either the arms and lines or the kind with the stalls that move around. Just curious!

Here are some pics of some of the non-mini horses that I care for at the farm I manage: Peppy Girl, Paint 3yrs: Luna, grulla mustang/QH cross: Ginger, paint: Shane, our resident "Old Man" 28yrs young TWH:

My yearling filly has an odd discharge under her tail. She has had it since I got her in Feb. I thought at first it may have been a high protien feed she was getting and her urine was staining the underside of her tail. She is on a different feed, not high in protien, and still has this...

There was a post on here not long ago, cant remember the name of it for the life of me and I tried looking for it. It was about spots on a horse that are a different color than the horses base color. What are they called???? They had some weird off the wall name and I can't remember it for...
