New to the forum. :)

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to introduce myself as I am new to Lil Beginnings! My name is April, I'm from Australia. I've been lurking for a bit, but only just joined up. I have been really enjoying reading all of the threads here, everyone is amazingly helpful and friendly, unlike a lot of the other forums online, so glad to be here!

I've just started getting into the Miniatures, despite always owning/riding/driving/showing horses and breeding Shetlands (the classic, heavy ones). I've got a 37" Black Buckskin Miniature colt (in my avatar) that I'd like to start showing this season in halter and performance so will be needing some advice and help from you guys!

Welcome from Connecticut!! We have a 4-H Club where we teach youth about horses and miniature horses. There is a lot of information in the 4-H section of our website (link is below), mostly on performance or general info but some on halter too. Enjoy!

Welcome from NC, USA!

What a beauty you have there in your avatar. If you PM me or go to the Pony Talk section of LB, I'd love to know more about your "heavy" Shetlands... I, too, have Shetlands (several are double registered as larger B type minis in AMHR) that I like to work with in work style harness and used for "farming" or working on our "farmette", plus taking to Draft Horse Events and having "little horses that can"!!

Pic of our mini sized Shetland gelding, Cupid, doing his first "logging" last week. He's around 37" at the withers. He is the 3 yr old son of the horse in my Avatar.
