    Fun Shows

    If you were having a small Fair miniature horse show (15 classes) is there a good way to fit one driving class into the show. Personally, I would have some concerns with youth and adults in the same class, for safety reasons. Has anyone seen it done, and what were the ground rules?

    AMHR sanctioned show

    I have watched the Nationals and it doesn't seem like the ladies showing in halter classes are wearing hats. The men seem to be wearing cowboy hats in a lot of cases. What are the judges looking for with regard to this?

    AMHA Sanctioned shows

    I would like to communicate with any of the forum members who are focused on "A" size horses and can provide information or feedback on having shows and events strictly devoted to the small horses. I am aware of the Smallest Horse Group in the U.S. and I will talk to that group as well.

    Does being in foal mean Higher $$$'s

    I was looking at some horses advertised for sale, with the notation that they would be priced higher once confirmed in foal. To me, being in foal does not mean I am getting a foal and also could involve a vet bill. When I am shopping for a horse this way of pricing does not make me more apt...

    filly with a scabby patch on her back

    I am guessing it's "rain rot". The patch is about the size of a fist. The mare is very pink skinned with a soft white and palomino pinto coat. We have been keeping her lightly clipped all summer as we show her. I presume it happened when she was out for her 2 hour pasture break and maybe a...

    homozygous tobiano-colour experts

    Our colt is colour tested 100% for the tobiano gene, He has a lot of white with smokey black. Would you expect more white on the resulting foals or is it a "crap shoot"

    Good word of mouth................

    I ordered some tack from Mini Express in Florida. There was an automatic shipping cost estimation added to the bill which I accepted and paid. They contacted me to say they were refunding me 40 plus dollars as they were able to package it in a better way to reduce the cost. I don't think too...

    New Addition to Nixons Hill Mares

    We travelled to a friends' farm and returned with Little Kings Champagne and Lace. (AMHA/AMHR 30.50 inches) It was a long trip for Lace and she handled it like a "pro". We hope to have lots of fun with this well mannered 3 year old.

    is there a rule??????

    If there is a horse being shown that was purchased from a judge, who also happens to be judging the show, is there a time frame for which the judge would not be allowed to judge the said horse? I am sure it would be in the rule book, but thought I might "toss the question out" in case someone...

    Grosshills Chief Crazyhorse

    We used to own Crazy Horse and recently had the opportunity to purchase him, once again. He is a nice gentlemanly stallion who is a pleasure to watch in the pasture with his ladies. He was born in 1994 so he certainly has lots of experience.

    Worming information from a vet visit in May

    Our vet said at a vet visit for some dental equine work, that all I needed to worm for was tape worm in the spring and a wormer in the fall that covered bots. I have been worming more often than this and rotating wormers.

    show carts

    Not sure if they are called wheel guards or not, but the piece of equipment that closes the wheel so something can not go between the wheel and the cart mandatory at sanctioned shows?

    May 2012 Horse Illustrated

    There is a "Breed Profile" in the magazine with regard to the Miniature Horse and Shetland Pony authored by Sharon Biggs. A good article in my opinion, that will hopefully "spur" further interest in the ownership of a miniature horse with a better understanding.

    hair extensions

    Can extensions be legally used on manes and tails for showing? We have a horse who wore the centre section of her mane off reaching thru fences and thru the winter it does not seem like it will have grown in to cover the short section.

    building up the chest

    I don't think I have ever posted on this forum but would like to get some tips on building up a very refined 3 year old filly, in the chest area. She is refined all over but has lots of stamina in the cart. Her chest just looks very narrow and other than lots of driving what would be the best...
