    AMHA Hardshipping

    It was my understanding that after 1-1-2013 that horses could no longer be hardshipped into AMHA. However I have recently seen some posts on Facebook that state otherwise, that horses can be hardshipped through the end of 2013. Is this true or not? I guess I thought the books were now closed...

    Teaching Halter Horse to "Set Up"

I guess first thing I need to teach my guy is how to stand still, which we have been working on. He is getting the hang of that, but anytime I move to adjust his legs, he...

    Permectrin for Delicing

    I purchased a bottle of Permectrin CDS pour on insecticide to treat my minis for lice (as a precaution), I don't believe they do have lice. I am just wondering what the proper dosage for an adult mini is? The bottle label says to apply 8-16 ml for horses, but assume that is for a large breed...

    Collecting on Payments...

    I sold a horse on payments last fall and allowed the horse to leave before being paid in full.
