April will be a busy and exciting month for the members of the Northeast Miniature Horse Club. We will be offering two clinics, both with top-of-the-line Miniature horse trainers.
The first clinic will be held on Saturday,April 14th at Winning Ways Farm, Dover, NH. Danielle “Peas†Hill of Reece Family Miniatures will be our clinician and she will cover all aspects of conditioning, training and showing. Reece Family Miniatures has won many, many AMHA World Championship titles and World Grand Championships over the years. If you ever wanted to really know how to win in the show ring, don’t miss this clinic!
The clinic is free to all AMHA-carded Amateur exhibitors and youth. Northeast Miniature Horse Club members who do not hold an AMHA Amateur card pay only $5 and non-members will pay $20. This clinic will be held in the farm’s indoor arena and heated meeting room and a “gourmet†potluck lunch is included. We will also have representatives from Purina Mills to give a lecture on equine nutrition, as well as an equine dentist to speak on proper dental care for Miniatures and an equine reproduction specialist, experienced with the special needs of the Miniature horse.
During lunch, there will be a silent auction with some great items -- a completely reconditioned set of Double K Clippers, a Miniature saddle in excellent condition, a harness and a consignment rack with gently used show clothing for children and adults. Sue Hartley, owner of Reindance Tack, will be on-site selling blankets, sheets, show halters and all kinds of Miniature horse equipment.
Our second clinic is a driving clinic and will be held the following weekend – April 21st and 22nd at the beautiful Sawmill River Farm in West Brookfield, MA. This clinic will be taught by Mike McCabe, a leading trainer and judge. Mike has been showing and breeding horses for more than forty years and has earned numerous National Championship titles in both Arabians and Miniature Horses. Mike is also an International Judge, carded in AMHA, AMHR. ASPC, IALHA and ADGR and has judged in show rings from France to New Zealand. His clinics are sought-after for halter and driving training.
Mike’s clinic will be a series of one-hour, one-on-one training sessions. Although all the time slots have been booked, we are taking reservations in case we get cancellations.

The Northeast Miniature Horse Club is comprised of a dedicated group of Miniature Horse owners, breeders, and enthusiasts who wish to promote the enjoyment and humane treatment of all Miniature Horses. Our club is committed to the on-going education of Miniature Horse owners. Our members support the efforts of rescue organizations to advocate for and improve the well-being of abused, neglected, or unwanted Miniature Horses. We would like to be thought of as an area resource for the Miniature Horse community, providing a referral service and a place where questions can be answered and guidance found, from a trusted source on an on-going basis. By attending our shows and clinics, you help support the club’s rescue efforts – money well spent!
