I would never have the guts to dye my horses' manes and tails. We try keep them out of the sun during show season due to sunburn but I still felt their coats needed enhancement. I know it's expensive ( $ 8-10 per lb.) but if you don't want to dye your horses "Black as Knight" is the most...

We attended Lee's clinic yesterday at Aloha Acres along with many other people. What a day !!! Lee gave us advice and tips on anything you can imagine concerning minis. Kirby demonstrated a facial for us and showed us the appropriate way to jog your horse in front of the judge. Shannon...

We'll be there !!! I've already got one page of questions. Going to Aloha is like visiting a petting zoo !!! There are friendly animals EVERYWHERE just looking for attention. Hope to meet lots of new people this Saturday ! Justine

Hey, Angie !!! I wondered if ya'll had gotten settled in yet. Your colt is beautiful. Hope to see you at an ECMHC meeting before too long. Many of the club members will be at the show in Fletcher June 30th- July 2nd. I'm not too far from Shelby - let me know if ya'll need any help. Justine

Dinda, Please don't be discouraged. I promise you we will be there in 2007 with 6 horses - AMHA & AMHR. We had just purchased three geldings two weeks prior to your show and did not have enough time to work with them to go to Southern States. We have heard wonderful things about you and your...

Congrats, Aubrey !! I can't wait to meet all your babies !!!! Justine

We'll be there with 6 horses. Fletcher is our last show before Nationals. Should be a good crowd this year - Dixie did a great job getting the schedule out. Hope to see lots of members of the ECMHC there. Justine

WOO HOO !!! The filly fairy just won't leave Ganderhill !!! Your little "surprise" is beautiful, Aubrey !! I think "Target" would be a great name for her. Justine

So is it "taboo" to have a driving horse's mane braided if it has just shown in a hunter class or will be going right back in the ring to show in hunter class after driving ? The general consensus seems to be everyone braids their manes in one single braid even if they have the experience to...

Does anyone have a really good picture of their horse's mane braided for a hunter class ? I think I know what to do but it would help if I could see a photo of a horse's mane up close. I braided manes and tails for a living 30 years ago on the "A" hunter/jumper circuit and only braiding one...

Didn't I tell you last summer Lilly was a keeper ???? I hope your family was impressed with Liz's photos. Lilly is gorgeous !! Justine

Patrick and Clover - what a pair !!! They are growing so fast !! I can't wait to see them once they're clipped. Justine

WOO HOO !!! Heather, add US to the head count - we need all the help we can get !!!! Heck, I'll sleep under the tent Friday night to get a front row seat !! I've already got two pages of questions !!! We were at Lee's yesterday and the babies are GORGEOUS !!! Can't wait for the clinic ...

Congrats, Millie !!! Another beautiful baby !!! Justine

Congrats, Cheryl and Lyn !!! He is absolutely stunning !! Good luck with him !! Justine

We've been using an old diving board resting flat on 4 X 4's. It makes a funny sound with their hooves on it, it's very narrow (we did not build sides) and it's not slippery at all. If Sting gets near it he thinks he's supposed to walk across it and he hops right on it !! Justine

We have Great Pyrenees and after 4 yours of them protecting our livestock (including the minis) I would not even consider another breed. The only draw back to this breed for me is their coat does shed - alot more than an Anatolian. Our fence is 5ft. tall 2"X4" non climb wire so the dogs have...

Liz McMillan will be at the East Coast Spring Fling doing portraits ( of course) and she will be taking action shots outside the ring. We have obtained permission from the show committee to bring our jumps from home for everyone to use in the warm up area - two of which are a roll top and a...

This will be my first year showing my own horses in any division. I have a wonderful trainer, Jim Frazier, of Blue Blazes Miniatures, who just happens to also be the president of the East Coast Miniature Horse Club. He has had to teach me EVERYTHING about jumping and obstacles in only a few...

I have five performance horses and have tried to make or purchase any type jump or obstacle we may encounter at shows. Has anyone ever seen a miniature water jump ( or liverpool) in a sanctioned show? How about a roll top ? I showed hunters and jumpers for over 25 years so I am trying to...
