I am wondering how many out there in Iowa show, and train for showing their minis.... I have a friend located in "Chariton, Iowa", that is thinking about showing a Stallion that she has recently purchased from me. She is hoping to find someone out her way that she could maybe visit with sometime, and learn from. Thank you in advance..

Margaret, please tell your friend to come this Tuesday August 16th to the AMHR Iowa State Fair Miniature show. Halter classes start at 8:00a.m at the west horse arena by the horse barn and will premier some of Iowa's finest mini people along with many fine people from out of state. It is such a good show to get a flavor of what showing styles are like and meet great "mini" people. There will be some top trainers at the show also if she is looking to go the trainer route.

Addmission to the Iowa State Fair will get you into everything at the fair and the miniature show. Driving classes are in the evening and open to spectators for a small fee. It is an ELECTRIC attomsphere at the fair and lots of fun. You could spend all day just at the horse show alone! So much to see.

Read and find out about daily events at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, IA at http://www.iowastatefair.org The butter cow lady Duffy Lyon is sculpting Tiger Woods among her regular sculptures. So many neat places to see....good fun for all ages! Can you tell I am proud of our State Fair?

I am not an experienced show person and on opposite end of state from your friend. The Iowa Mini club has a website which may help finding a mentor close to her. http://www.miniatureequine.com/iowa/index.html

You may ask Larry and Lavonne Parks also(Timberview Appy's), they are really good mini folks(their address/website is in IA club member list). They will be at the state fair Tuesday along with many more club members. Look for the PURPLE stall curtains.
