Have been living out of state for a while now while family has been watching my horses in Oklahoma. This week I got the call I have been dreading. One of first minis I purchased, See the Light, hadn't come up for her breakfast. She was found laying in the shelter, still alive, hungry and...

I was reading the AMHA magazine on-line and saw a thank-you to the folks that contributed jumps and obstacles for the World Show. Apparently these are now going to belong to AMHA so they won't have to purchase them in the future. Since I didn't get to watch the World Show on-line, can someone...

Since this is the time of year that people are starting to think about preparing for foaling season next year, and buying a barn camera is often part of the process, I thought Id give some info on what I have learned as there is really a lot more involved in getting good video than just buying a...

I was just watching the Youth Obstacle driving, Over, (on the webcast) and noticed that the competitors pivoted on both the Right and Left wheels. Does anyone know if the pattern specified which wheel, or if the drivers could choose? Also, did it specify the 'exit' cones? I ask because one...

Since the original ’measuring’ topic got so long, and another topic was been started with a different ‘proposal’ using the ‘base of the withers’, I thought I’d go ahead put out another ‘tweaked’ version for comment. This is basically a reworking of the idea that Belinda originally proposed...

I plan to go to the AMHA Annual Meeting that is coming up in San Diego, 19-22 February, and I would like to share room expenses. I am a female, non-smoker. Right now, I plan to arrive the morning of the 19th, and leave on Sunday, 22 Feb, but if I can share the costs, I can book a room for the...

This is just a ‘brainstorming’ idea that came to me this morning. It is not at all thought through, but maybe it will be a spark to ignite someone else’s thought process… What if AMHA (or AMHR) were to set up a non-binding type of internet voting process that was put in place where members...

Please post any comments you have regarding issues in the Poll to this topic. Thank You. R3 (Julie Miller)

I have also started a regular (non pinned) topic for anyone that wants to make comments. Please do not post to this poll, but to the topic started for Poll Comments. Thank You. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am aware that...

With all the discussions regarding AMHA and how By-Laws and Rules are made, and with all the criticism about how much ‘say’ the membership is given in the AMHA, and how unfair AMHA is because they don’t have mail-in or internet ballots, and people have to go the Annual Meeting to vote for rule...

I have heard several people say that the rule change to measure at the 'base of the withers' was needed so we could have better/more driving horses. Since when did the objective of AMHA breeders change? When did we go from trying to raise smaller perfect horses to trying to raise driving...

I believe that the Board of Directors can change or repeal a by-law, but if they don't, there are ways for the membership to call a Special meeting to hold a vote to change by-laws. We don't have to wait until the Annual meeting. There are two ways to get a Special Meeting called, one is for a...

I am at the AMHA meeting and on the committees that were part of the preparation of these proposed rules. The rule for closing the registry was proposed so that we could take the FIRST step in becoming a true breed. In its original form, the person had initially considered a date of 2009, as...

I finally booked my flight for the AMHA meeting, but I don't have any room reservations yet. Is there anyone looking to share the costs of a hotel room? I'm a non-smoker. If you might want to have a roomate, please contact me. [email protected] Thanks, Julie Miller Fletcher, OK

I just found this article and thought it was excellent and timely, as this is the season we start hearing about mares aborting. It isn't a really long artcile, but I won't try to copy the whole thing, just the the link to the article and the Table of Contents, so you can read it for yourself...

I thought this was interesting. I hadn't heard about it before. Apparently, nightblindness is associated with homozygous appaloosa genes. If I'm reading this article correctly, homozygous Appies will have nightblindness? Here is an excerpt and a link to the full article. "Appaloosas with...

I was wanting to get in contact with a group. I remember reading that they were Nuns(?) from Pennsylvania(?), and that they were raising appaloosas. That is about all I remember, and that may not be correct. Thanks for any help.

Since the discussion on ulcers and giving Prilosec (the human medication Omeprazole) which is the same active ingredient that is the expensive Gastroguard, I have been wondering about how to get a Prilosec pill into a horse without crushing or liquifying it. (If you crush or break the pill, it...

I am sorry that in my previous posts I did not frame my questions in a clear enough manner, as you still have not answered the questions I asked. And, I am sorry that you feel like you are beating a dead horse, but I think that is because you keep reiterating facts that I have not disputed...

I plan to take my team of minis with a four-wheel carriage in some local lighted Christmas parades. I don't know whether to go with the multi-colored lights or the clear (white) lights. Those are the two choices that are reasonably inexpensive. My husband likes the colored ones, but I tend to...
