    AMHA and AMHR lookup please?

    A coworker offered me a stallion that I am going to go pick up tomorrow! I was just wondering if I could enlist help on finding some more information about him. His name is Nostalgias Keno and he's by Nostalgias Show Me the Money and out of Tuckers Tadita Tah Dah. I am hoping to drive him and...

    Help with Harness Fit?

    Here is the first test-drive in the Comfyfit Harness I purchased. I have to say, I love it!! I ground drove Mac in it a bit. I just wonder, what do I need to fix on it? I'm pretty sure I didn't get it on the first try. ;)

    Where Do You Get Your Boots and Blankets?

    I am looking to get a pair of nice boots for Mac and Patchy - thinking something along the lines of the Sport Medicine Boots. And I want blankets in specific colors for them both. Mac is a 42" and Patchy is 48". I want turquoise blankets if possible. Also looking for standing bandages for them...

    Looking to get a New Harness... Do these measurements look right?

    I measured Mac this evening using the highly sophisticated measurements of baling twine. This is what I got. Do they look right for a 32" mini? Breastcollar – 26.5 Breeching – 34.5 Cavesson – 17.5 Body measurement – 43” Crupper - 24.5 Headstall – 30.5 Girth – 48.5” I also am trying to...

    Single Mini... Okay with the other horses nearby or does he need a buddy?

    So, Mac (my 14 year old mini) was originally intact for the first year, and he was rather stallion-like so he got to stay in his run by himself. He's now been gelded for a year and has really not retained any studdy qualities - pretty excited. He gets four full sized horses in the barn at night...

    Where to Start Finding a Trainer?

    I didn't want to hijack the other thread about deciding on a trainer, but I am thinking about sending Mac to a trainer next year to start in harness, since I have only worked one horse in harness and never actually hitched her. My knowledge about driving is very limited and I would like to do...

    How Much Pasture Is Just Enough?

    I am trying to decide the set-up for Mac. He weighed in at 200 lbs a few weeks ago, and I was instructed by my equine nutritionist to feed him between 1.5 and 2 lbs of 14% pellets a day, and he's finally putting on some weight. I'll have to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't put too much...

    New to the Forum, with my Newest Addition!

    I would like to take this opportunity to say hi I found this forum a few days ago and I am enjoying the wealth of information regarding the mini! I have had full sized horses my whole life, and started with a Shetland X pony when I was a child, who we lost to kidney failure last year when he...
