I'm so excited, we finally brought Scout home on the 7th and he is such a boy about things . He has a very well "This is going the way I want" attitude right now. Which I think Is just him being shy and little skittish as he doesn't know me. But he is so pretty, and friendly. I do NOT own him...

Anybody have any websites, or book suggestions on researching Miniature horse conformation? I'm trying to learn more than just the basics . I know people suggest full horse conformation books, but I find it confuzing trying to picture them in miniature size . As it is very clear miniature...

Well I've been debating back and forth what color noseband to get for showing. I've been told to get a gold nose band, as the gelding I'll be leasing has a mostly white face. But I was wondering how much that the color of the show halters noseband matter? I was told that actual "colored" bands...

Ok I have a couple of questions. In order to show AMHR over the horse has to be 34"-38", but in order to really have a chance an ASPC horses should atleast be 38" (not required i know, just sorta a reference). I was wondering, can you show both ASPC and AMHR shows with 1 miniature? Or you can...

Well i was thinking of selling Copper if he didn't plan out to show or breed. Though i don't think he is a breeding prospect he would be good in a show ring. I thought he would shape out like his mom and be very large with a thick neck big hind quarters etc. But he isn't he is getting the...

Yup my little man is home and has done a TOTAL 360! He is so calm and loves attention he's never been haltered, lead, or been stalled. He's never been away from mommy or anything so he is not acting how i pictured flipping out running around the stall flip over etc. He let me come in there and...

I was wondering when it would be a good time to geld a pony? I didn't want to do it to young but asap so i can show him. Also i'm edgy on getting a show halter i'm afraid he might grow out of it to quick or it could be to big etc. I like the arabian type but i found one at a tack store and its a...
