    No driving training to sudden driving pro?!?

    I recently sold a 3 year old gelding to a very nice lady. He was sold as not broke to ride or drive as I didn't feel he was mature enough in the spring and this fall I had health concerns that kept me from training. Two days after I sold him I got an email saying how wonderful he was and...

    Buying a new Desktop, what brand

    After much research last year I too bought a Dell believing it was the best bet as far as desktops. My experience with Dell has been nothing short of horrific. Six months after getting my computer it stopped working. I then spent countless hours online being coached in how to repair my own...

    Horse dumping

    I don’t normally post on here but since this an issue that is basically in my own backyard I’d like to add my two cents. First off I don’t believe you can find a solution to a problem without discussing the issues that have caused it. Whether you believe the issue is related to over breeding...

    Broodmare over "A" papers

    Okay this is funny this was asked because I was going to ask a similar question. What do you do if you are the buyer who buys one of these over horses who comes with all the paperwork for AMHA? If you have a signed transfer with everything filled in but for the current height which the seller...

    Incredible shrinking gelding

    Just noticed that the next couple of shows I'm planning on attending offer two senior geldings classes 32 and under and over 32 to 34. At the first show of the year my one senior gelding measured in at 32 inches, a full inch smaller than the normal 33 inches he has always measured at at AMHR...

    Looky at what I got for Mothers Day

    Beautiful mare ! I have to admit I'm confused about her color as I have a colt that is very similar in color and markings and on his papers it says buckskin too. I always thought that a line down the back and primitive markings indicated Dun. Okay color experts can buckskins have lines?

    I hate this...

    Having dealt with several Amish miniature breeders in the area, I don't think it's fair to assume the Amish are all alike and those colts originated from an Amish farm. In fact the next time anyone is in the area check out M&R Miniatures and Chupp's Lil Horses instead of going to the sale. Both...

    I hate this...

    I've been going to Shipshewana for years and still have a hard time with seeing the horses in the kill pen. As for the miniatures, I would think they will have a good chance of being resold. My girlfriend's uncle is a dealer/meat buyer who frequents Shipshewana and if he can make more money...

    Great Farrier

    Just glanced at the thread on bad farriers and thought I'd post about my situation with a little bit too good of a farrier. I recently purchased a miniature stallion and a few days after getting him home noticed his stifles popped and he wasn't moving quite right in behind with a slight...

    Re-using sale horse pictures

    Thanks all for your opinions, I'm just going to let it go! I guess what irked me was that I spent a lot of time and effort to help a friend sell this horse by clipping, bathing and taking pictures of the horse and now a complete stranger is reaping the rewards. Also I can tell from the wording...

    Re-using sale horse pictures

    Just noticed that there's an ad on the sale board using pictures I took for a friend to help her sell a horse. The horse sold but apparently the horse is being resold. Do I have the right to ask the seller to take her own pictures rather than use mine? I'm pretty sure my friend who I took the...

    How would you price this mare?

    Just curious how other people would price a mare who has a slight case of upward fixation of the patella (little catch as she walks/some popping noise but has never fully locked up) but otherwise healthy and beautiful. She came from a top farm and has great bloodlines and I'd hoped she'd outgrow...

    Pros and cons of buying a foal

    Well after a summer of seeing all these adorable foals being posted, I've got it in my head that I'd like to purchase a foal but I'm trying to make an educated, thought provoking decision instead of handing over my next paycheck to the first owner who shows me a cute, fuzzy foal. I'd love to...

    Misspelled Name on AMHR Papers

    Not a big deal! Just call them up and they'll fix it. Happened to me last year.

    furturity

    Just read the post concerning sustaining furturity entries and realized I forgot to send in the paperwork for my gelding. I wasn't planning on going to the nationals this year anyway, but am I out for next year also? Too late to get it into the mail LOL

    Anyone recognize these???

    Oh Goodness, I thought I was the only one that had this happen! When I called to tell them that I got someone else's photograph they told me to send it back to them (Jack's). Maybe I should have posted it online...? They also assured me that they would be able to locate the picture I ordered...

    Nerves have really kicked in!!!!!!

    LOL Reading your post made me more nervous! We are going to drive Brenda crazy! I own little Haley. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to get the house as clean as the barn for my annal retentive caretaker. Also writing a book covering the care and feeding of my critters, I've never left...

    AMHR Show results wrong

    I just got off the AMHR show results site where I discovered my gelding did not do as well as I thought at a show. If you've been given a ribbon and had your placings announced at the show can that be later changed? This was his first show and I was really excited to get a Reserve Grand champion...
