    Hunter/Jumper

    I have looked over the AMHA rulebook for hunter and jumper show rules. Wanted to get some advise from people who have actually shown in these though. I have a gelding that I would like to show in hunter and/or jumper. Is one easier or less complicated for me as a handler? I have been...

    Clipping for a Show

    Forgot to ask - I am assuming I should razor the ones even with the pink/light skin? The only ones I have razored had dark skin.

    Clipping for a Show

    Thank you everyone for the help. I will put a hood or mane tamer on the yearling and thin out his mane. I think I have decided on taking the 4 - I don't want to mess with 5 and the 5th is a driving horse and I'd rather not have to mess with the cart this time. I will be doing showmanship...

    Clipping for a Show

    Thanks for the replies! I will look into getting another set of clippers. Especially something a little smaller that I can bring to the shows without the hassle of lugging around my double K's. Here is a few pictures of my yearling colt with the sun bleached mane.

    Clipping for a Show

    I am going to a show at the end of August. I am taking 4, possibly 5. I'm 17 and do all the clipping and grooming myself. This will be my second show, but my first show I only took one horse so this is a big step up! I have several questions for you experienced show people! Obviously, I am...

    Showing in AMHA color class

    I am taking several of my minis to the ky state fair to show this year in August. This will only be my second show. I'm trying to figure out who is the best one or couple to show in multi color. I have a weanling colt, yearling colt, 7 year old mare and 5 year old mare. I put pictures below...

    Conformation showing question...

    A mare I bought that had been shown for several years has a section of her bottom eyelid missing. Would that prevent me from showing her or get points taken away for that? I don't know what happened but her eye is great and she has no vision problems. She's built great and completely halter...

    Breeding, Showing and Training Older Horses

    I am taking in on trade a coming 19 year old stallion (birthdate is in July). He was shown when younger and shown as recently as 2011 as a 17 year old and placed well. He is very pretty and doesn't act like an old horse. Would I be crazy to show him at 19 or even older? He also has a beautiful...

    What's your favorite bloodline for throwing that arabian head?

    I am a head lover. I love the wide forehead, large eyes, small muzzle and dishy head. Of course there are exceptions, but what bloodlines have you found to be relatively consistant in throwing those beautiful heads? Pictures would be a huge plus? :D

    Here is a picture of each of the daddy's to be! Also a picture of Ellie when she actually looks pretty :-)

    Heidi and Ellie

    Sure, I will be glad to get more pictures. They are both golden girls, having several foals each. But this is the first time either has been hand bred so nobody knows how long they carry or how quickly their udder develops, etc. Ellie is the silver dapple and she is either 13 or 14 this year...

    Heidi and Ellie

    What does everyone think of my two mares? Do they look reasonably close? The pictures are from a few days ago. Heidi (black and white) was 290 days in the pictures. Ellie (silver dapple) was 295 days in the pictures. I have noticed a large difference in the last few weeks. I want to hear...

    Suitability for Single Pleasure

    Thanks for the comments. I have looked at YouTube videos as well as the article from cloke stables. I really can't afford an already trained driving horse, especially a single pleasure one. I'm getting ready to turn 17 so I have limited income and I pay for the minis, all their care and show...

    Suitability for Single Pleasure

    I am looking for a mini that has potential for single pleasure. I have found one I like. The pics are of him all natural. He hasn't had any halter or driving training or action devices on. The pics are blurry because I pulled them from a video but you can still get an idea of his reach and...

    When to put the mares up

    I have two mares due fairly soon. I have dates of when they were hand bred. One will be 300 days on February 13th and the other on the 18th. Both mares have always been field bred so this is the first time they have been hand bred. Neither of the previous owners know how long they carry or how...
