    Jess is finally in my name!

    After owning Jessica since 2014, I was so happy to FINALLY get her in my name under all three registries. I was 12 when I got her, so I waited until I could get a full adult membership in AMHA, AMHR, and Pinto to get her transferred to me. I also didn’t really understand the registries until a...

    Some Driving Questions and Tips

    I've been driving for about a year now, and I've been absolutely loving it! I have my main show horse Jessica, who really helped me learn how to drive. She was broken for driving before I got her and she took it right in stride once I started driving her again. I love driving Jessica, but I do...

    Cart+harness fitting help

    Hey all! Rebel is finally ready to be put into the cart! With that all being said, I want to make sure that her tack looks like it’s fitting properly. I adjusted everything as much as I can but I wanted to see what you guys thought. Is there anything that looks like it needs adjustment? The...

    Bit Thingie??

    ok, call me dumb but I've always wanted to know why many driving bits have the extra piece of metal coming off the ring where you attach the reins?? I’ve always driven with snaffles that looked like this, however I haven’t seen a reason why this is there. Is there a specific reason these bits...

    I got my new Filly!

    The day finally got here, I was able to get my filly today!! My dad and I had a veeeerryyy long drive (12+ hours) but it was worth it. First we had to drop off one of my big horses I had just sold about 5ish hours away. From there we had to drive back down to where my filly was at and that took...

    Pregnant, fat, both?

    Hey everyone! I work for a lovely woman with her two minis, and we have come to the conclusion one of her minis may be pregnant. She got Fancy about 8 months ago from a breeder who had a mini stud on the property, but they said that Fancy hadn’t been exposed to him (at least in their knowledge)...

    Book suggestions?

    Recently I’ve been wanting to get some more miniature horse books. Does anyone have any suggestions for good books? I’m wanting to learn some more tips on training and definitely learn more about driving and all the different forms/styles of driving out there. I’m also looking to start showing...

    Mini foal tips?

    Well, I have some good news! I sold Rebel a little while ago, but with that I decided to buy another mini :) I looked around and decided on a sweet filly named Melody! She’s a bay Tobiano (possibly Overo as well) and I’ll be picking her up from her breeder soon. With that being said, it’s been...

    Harness fitting to the cart

    Hey all! I have some questions about fitting a harness when first attaching to the cart. As some may remember from a bit ago, I’ve been training a mini named Rebel to drive! I’ve been ground driving her for some months now, and she’s been taking everything in stride and she hasn’t had any issues...

    Registered show mini

    Hey all! I recently sold one of my minis and I am looking to buy another one. I’m looking for a show bred mare/gelding who is registered AMHA and has some show experience (but not absolutely necessary). I would love if they are a registered pinto as well but not absolutely necessary. They need...

    Jessica Photos

    Currently stuck at the beach because my dog needed surgery (he’s older and decided to jump off the deck chasing after a raccoon. He basically tore all the ligaments in his knee) so I’m staying here till he’s healed up enough to go back home. I’ve been here around 3 weeks, and I really miss my...

    Conformation Opinions

    Hello all! I would love to see your guy’s opinions on my mare’s conformation. She’s 11 and measures 38in. She’s also had one foal so far. I know she was shown in stock type mini shows in the past and did pretty well. I might be breeding her sometime in the future, but I have yet to...

    Show spiciness

    So I just got back from a show, and I did pretty well with my little mare! However she was also a little butt head XD During the show (especially in the warm up ring) she’d suddenly either jump in the air and kick out, buck while trotting, or just kind of jump to the side. She’d do this no...

    Driving show clothes?

    So I’m planning on going to a schooling show this upcoming January with my mini, Jessica. I’m going to be showing in open pleasure harness and open judges command harness. The thing is, it’s going to be very cold. I know typically women who show in harness where dresses, however I definitely...
