    After 9 Months I can unwrap my Birthday Present!

    I didnt have time to reply last night, but my husband and I sat at the computer for about 20 minutes looking at the pictures of your filly. He couldnt believe that it was the same horse and kept asking me to scroll up and down to see if the markings were different...once he finally figured out...

    Price of cart training

    The amish a few hours away from me charge different prices. One, who is starting out in the buisness charges between 200 and 300 a month with board. Now, a well established trainer that trains for Chicago carriage companies charges 640 a month for training a board, but when they come back to you...

    A Poem to Veterans "Updated being published"

    Congrats on that!!! You deserve to have it published and others need to hear it. If you really fear using your name and sharing your identity than dont do it. I have written a book before about my life experiences and NEVER wanted anyone to know who I really was and what happened. The last thing...

    Color Halter class

    Thanks for the clarification! That is pretty interesting. I would have thought that it would be judged on how the horse best represents his or her color and not the judges "favorite" color of horse. In showing has anyone seen trends with certain judges that say always pick a buckskin, appy...

    Color Halter class

    I was just reading some of the different types of classes there are out there for minis and WOW was I surprised to see the vast list of things. I saw that there is a color class and was wondering what exactly is being judged. Is it 100% on color and markings or is it 50 markings and 50%...

    New Mini Owner

    Congrats on your newest addition and welcome from indiana to the elite club of mini owners haha. They are addicting and sooo much different than the big guys. I have both and after a while you can start to become a little bias toward the minis.

    Sad day here at Rockin ELM

    I am sooo sorry to hear what happened! I feel for you and others in your situation. An auction not to far from us sold a team of mini mares that were perfectly matched for only 300 and they were only 4 years old. The market is terrible and its sooo sad.

    Opinion of mini...

    Thank you for the name of the lube/spray I will try to get some today and see how it goes. She is doing really good with the clipping considering this is the first time she has ever had it done. She is sooo patient with me. How did your first show go? My first one will be June 6th or 7th I hope...

    Lazy Lunging!

    I have had the same problem in the past and still do on occasion and it is usually due to MY positioning. Make sure the the triangle you make which is formed by the horses body from head to tail, the lunge line to you which forms the point and the whip which makes the third line of the triangle...

    Body clipping Before and After WOW!!!!!

    That is SOOOO ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I really really want to clip my girl, but I will resist I will resist...maybe if I say it enough times I actually will resist. I cant believe how long her legs look now and how short they looked before. I am still in awe.

    Opinion of mini...

Let me know if its the same one. I didnt know that Sugar Baby was even a candy. HAHA Im am going to have to try it now...

    Opinion of mini...

    I plan on doing that once the weather gets a bit warmer and i figure out how to clip a mini exactly... Do you clip against the grain or with? What length do you leave the hair? Are there different lengths for different parts of the body? And are there any quiet clippers that can still get the...

    A Poem to Veterans "Updated being published"

    WOW! this is an amazing poem. You were right with it being emotional I have had family members who have and still have to deal with this. I was wondering if I might have permission to share it with them. I think it may help just a little knowing that they aren't alone. Thank you for writing from...

    Opinion of mini...

    I am in northwest indiana. Thanks for the suggestion I will have to look into that. I know of a few people who show in this registration so I am assuming there are shows nearby but will have to see how far. We are about 2 hours from indy and an hour and 15 from chicago.

    Opinion of mini...

    I really like the idea of critiquing each others horses. It really is a helpful tool to hear other peoples opinions on conformation. Especially, if your new at it like we are. ok, now I am going to have to try to get a better picture of her because I can promise you that this picture is...

    Opinion of mini...

    Thank you for your honesty! I know my girl has a bigger than normal head... I figured that out a long time ago when most mini sized halters never fit quite right lol! I plan on teaching her to drive and I have been working with her for halter obstacle and she is doing great in that. I havent...

    Opinion of mini...

    Thank you sooo much for the indept critique! I really appreciate it. I had to laugh when I read your first impression:) Its not easy taking a picture by yourself in 10 seconds flat lol I told you it was a bad picture. The picture does do her justice in the wieght area. She looks a lot smaller...

    Anybody ever broke a horse to ride?

    I have to agree with marty on this one. I used to LOVE the wild and crazy horses that went totally nuts. I rode them without a problem and never was bucked off. After I had kids everything changed. I was nervous riding horses that I rode a million times before. Why, because in the back of my...
