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%...

Here is a mini that was given to us for free about 2 years ago. The owners couldnt take care of her anymore. This isnt a very good picture of her, but I didnt have any help taking the picture and had about 10 seconds from the time I hit the camera button to run and try to get her set up... didnt...

I was just wondering what others do to get their minis in shape. Mine has gained a few extra pounds in the midsection over the winter that I would like to trim off. She doesnt know how to drive yet so that option is out unfortunately. I have been lunging her over cavaletti's and was thinking...

I was out taking some pictures of my saddlebred/draft cross for the different registrations. Here is one that I was thinking of giving them of a side view. This one would go to the draft cross and warmblood registry. For the saddlebred registry I think i will park her out. Let me know what you...

After seeing all of Kims wonderful pictures and paintings that she has done she really inspired me to want to try my hand at drawing/painting again. It has been over 6 years since I last drew something. I loved drawing animals more than anything and sort of lost my heart to do it anymore after...

I know that cream is an incomplete dominant sooo my question is since grey is a complete dominant is is possible for a grey horse to carry the cream gene?

I was thinking about showing my mini in halter and obstacle to get her used to the show seen. I have seen the obstacle course once or twice and know that they go through a gate, have the hula hoop, walk over a tarp, small jump, but I cant remember the rest. Are there different obstacles that can...

How do you check for the proper balance on a 2 wheel cart? What exactly are you looking for when you do this?

I have a sleigh for my mini as well as my draft cross. I am looking for the little grocery wheel attachments that you can put on and off depending on how much snow if any is on the ground.

I am in the middle of training my horse to drive and wanted to know what the most difficult type of vehicle is for the horse to pull. I have heard mixed opinions on what is the best begining vehicle. Some say 2 wheels are best and others say 4 is harder to turn, but easier to pull. Also, is a...

Anyone have an exercise program they like for overweight mini's. Also, how much do you like to feed yours. Our is a tub she should be around 275-300 and she is much bigger than that. My problem is that I am going to have to start feeding my horses in different places because she seems to eat...

Just wondering if this is my imagination or wishful thinking perhaps. I have what I thought to be a chocolate colored pinto with blue eyes, but when I was grooming her last night I started to question her "true" color. Her mane, where she is chocolate is a salt and peper color. Then, If I took...

My mare has him in her pedigree and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about him. She has a lot of Fallen ash Farm in there and Hickory hills. I'm new to mini's and dont know anything about the breeders of them. If anyone can help with who these farms are I would really appreciate it. Thanks

When you set up your horse where is the "right" foot placement. On the AMHA website it stated that streched horses will be severely penilized. All of the mini's I have seen in halter look streched to me with the back legs far back, fronts under the shoulder and neck streched out. Is this correct...

I have a 10 year old class b mini that was given to us almost 2 years ago. I worked with her a lot and broke her out to ride. She was a dream come true! She could be riden anywhere and do anything you asked of her without hesitation. She never bucked, reared, or did anything at all nasty or mean...

I got this little girl two days ago. All other horses and minis on the property were pretty thin but her. Previous owner did not mention her being bred, but there is a stud on the property and with the poor fencing he could easily get out or her get in. Also, she mentioned putting her other mare...

I just got my first mini yesterday. My fiancee and I picked her up from someone we met who wanted to give her to us since they ran into some rough times. They have about 5 horses and 5 minis and just couldnt afford to feed them all which was evident when we went to pickup our little girl. All...
