    AMHA shows vs AMHR shows

    I was wondering, what are the differences between the AMHA shows and the AMHR shows? I've heard that the AMHR shows are easier for amateurs to get started in than AMHA, but there seems to be some loyalty among people who show. Those that show AMHA usually only show AMHA. Is it better to show...

    Teaching to give to pressure?

    We have a pony that we've been trying to teach to drive and it's been frustrating. She knows how to lunge well, change directions and move away from pressure, but when you put driving reins on her and try to teach her to turn, she fights it every step of the way even to the point of panic...

    Starting to get a bag?

    I posted a couple weeks back on a mare with no bag, but had the dates mixed up. She is actually due this coming Thursday. Anyway, she is just starting to make a bag, but I couldn't get anything out of it yet. Does it look like it has a ways to go till it's full?

    Supposed to be due tomorrow???

    Best foal blanket

    Our little mare is due the middle of next month. I'm praying the weather is semi-warm, but not holding my breath. February here can be brutal with single digits and strong north winds. Our mare has a stall and all that, but the barn is not heated, though I've seriously considered bringing...

    Thoughts on imprinting

    On another chat board I frequent there was a few people that were of the opinion that imprinting foals, especially mini and pony foals, totally ruins them. That you are better off with a foal that has never been messed with since imprinting makes foals into pets and they develop all kinds of...

    Breeding a pony that is toed out?

    Would you breed a mare that is toed out? We have a little mare that has a pretty neck, nice head though not exceptional, and fairly nice body, but is narrow in the chest and toed out on all four feet. Would you breed a mare like that or pass on her? What are the chances, if bred to a nice...

    Pregnant mare & alfalfa amounts

    Greetings! We have raised the full size horses for years, but as I've gotten older, we got rid of the full size horses and got a couple of miniatures that I thoroughly enjoy. Anyway, I'm having a little trouble scaling down feed to such a small amount. We have a mare that is due in February...
