I am pretty concerned about what is happening with the market for the small AMHA … I love my miniatures, but …. It is so expensive to keep 13 mares/two stallions – taking the best possible care of them, and then having problems selling the babies…. I guess I am just tired…. It is hard working...

I had a "Monica" contact me through email wanting to buy one of my miniatures and said she paid by personal check/money order . She used an email account through Yahoo : [email protected] First of all - I do NOT have my miniatures listed on "craiglist." I want to report this email...

I am having a terrible time keeping sparrows out of my barn. The doors to the big area are kept open during the day and there are so many birds perching on the doors and up in the hay loft. They also use the horses' water buckets to drink and I have droppings everywhere.... I have to clean my...

Our local newspaper did a nice article on our favorite mare "Ice." Although Ice was a "wooly" mess, in the picture, I think the reporter did a good job of sharing our excitement and love for our horses. There is an "online" article available...

I have an ad in the paper for my miniatures and maltese pups for sale. We have gotten several relay calls - calls that interpret for the deaf - for my animals. I also have the pups for sale on next day pets and puppy find. A Ms. Matt called and of course would not give out her number for me...

Ron and Joyce Koop have raised miniature horses for over 20 years and love the appaloosas. This is a very sad time for them. Ron has pancreas cancer and was put in the hospital last night. There is nothing that can be done for him..... he is battling other infections right now and his family...

Buckskin is my favorite color and we have been waiting a long time to get a baby out of my Perlion Stallion, who is a Buck Echo son. We are so proud of our new filly. My father-in-law named her Cookie after his favorite comic "Blondie." Since the mare's name is Blondie, it is fitting to name...

Last November, I gelded my 9 year old stallion. He was used for several years and was my first mini. He has shared a shelter and turnout area with two bred mares since February. I recently turned him out with my other mares. I caught him breeding one of my mares. He is not just mounting...

My farrier has been ill and has been unable to trim my minis. I have 14, but 5 need to be trimmed now..... I live in Muncie, IN. If any of you Indiana members could recommend a good farrier, I would appreciate. Thx, Pam

I was wondering if anyone has pursued legal actions against a vet clinic, and whether you were successful/unsuccessful. I had an experience last fall, and I was disputing some additional charges. I lost the mare in question. She had colic surgery at a university clinic and it turned out to...

The local newspaper wrote a nice article about our farm in the local newspaper. Although some of the "facts" and measurements were not quite quoted correctly, and the picture shows my filly not set up and legs going everywhere, for the most part, I think the editor did a great job and captured...

I just got word that the pictures of my yearling filly at AMHR Nationals did not turn out. She got reserve in this class of 45..... I would love to have keepsake pics of her, as I was not able to go to Nationals. I am so disappointed. If anyone has a pic of my filly ( a dilute buckskin...

I saw a gentlemen wearing a t-shirt stating that he was training a guide horse with a younger horse in harness and boots, walking around at the World. I saw him at a door, and I was going to approach him. I was going to confront him, but then thought...... why give him any attention? I have...

I was not able to make it to Nationals, but my Yearling Filly was there with the trainer. I was wondering if anyone has pictures that they would be willing to share of this class. My filly was reserve in Class 185 Mare Yearling 30 inch and under. I am so jealous of everyone's good memories...

My three year old mare started showing signs of distress last week. Since she had an episode of ulcers as a weanling, the vet and I really felt it was ulcers, and treated her accordingly with gastoguard. However, she got worse on the second day. The vet tubed her, but she still showed signs...

My husband is the president of the board for the local Boys and Girls Club. We had 8 children visit our little farm, and I am not sure who had more fun - the kids or me The children had never been close to a horse before. They stayed for about an hour and loved the miniatures. I also gave...

I am excited about going to the show at the Hoosier Horse Park. We used to show there quite often with big horses years ago. This will be the last show for my stallion, it is my husband's 55th birthday, and two of my children and good friends are coming also. The weather is supposed to be...

My friend would like to know if there are any foals registered from the following stallion. AMHA 67012 Tiny Trotters Wind Chaser. I would appreciate if someone would look this up for me. Thanks in advance for your help. Pam

My two month old filly was "off" this morning. She was not eating, rolling some, and breathing heavily- but no temp. The vet had me give Banamine, but after a few hours she was not better. No longer rolling, but now just laying flat out. By the time the vet got here, her temp had increased...

I want to go to at least a few R shows yet this summer, and I would like to have information about the R show at Watseka, IL. Do any of you show there often? Do you know who will be judging on 7-23-05? Do you have to register for the show beforehand, or can you sign up the day of the show...
