Miniature horses were named such to make them sound new and exotic after the pony market crashed. Breeders wanted to make them seem as exotic as possible and so they.wanted them to seem as small as possible. A horse that is under 34 at the last mane hair sounds much smaller than that same horse...

15 ml is just over a half inch

From the sou.ds.lf it, ignore the warning.gs at your own peril. Sometimes it is not crying wolf--sometimes they get it right (like the bomb cyclone storm that hit the midwest earlier this year) Better to prepare and take cover both nothing happens than to be caught out totally unsuspecting...

Yes, sneakers allowed. I usually start out with my show shoes (black dress shoes that look a little better than runners) but often end up showing in my runners.

Haha she was being a brat this morning. I threatened her with all sorts of horrible things! Otherwise she is kind of a nice girl.

Actually, if you Google Casey .McBride Photography, then choose Proofs and 2018 AMHR Nationals, then choose one of the morning show links you will get a page of proofs that show the open halter classes. You will see that most of the ladies dress the same for Nationals as what you will see at...

Yep, a plain jacket/blazer and pants/colored jeans should be good. As a rule the mini exhibitors do not keep up with AQHA when it comes to show ring attire. My favorite show jacket came from Reitmans, $15 on sale. Many people have told me they bought their show jackets at the thrift store...

My outfits above are fairly typical of what we see at the local shows. Some people have jackets with some embroidery, some have some bead work or sequins, but you wouldn't be likely to see a jacket that was covered in sequins. One of my tank tops is all sequins on the front--but only a bit of...

At local shows most people do not wear anything real fancy or covered in bling. I do not have any photos on my phone but will see if I can hunt up a few.

I have been trimming all the minis since 2001--when we first got them--and had been trimming our Morgans quite awhile before that. At one time we had a good farrier--i learned to trim from him, and learned therapeutic trimming for a badly foundered horse from him and one vet we had at the time...

How long has it been since the original injury?

I hope the hauling will go well for you. I agree a trailer would be your safest option. Is this xxl crate a dog crate, one of the wire ones? If so, I would really caution against that. A mini foal is not the same as a large dog and I could see her demolishing that carrier if she gets upset...

Hoof nippers are what I use.

Actually when it comes to minI show halters, trends do not change very much. A nice cable halter--your choice of style/color, conchoes or no--is always appropriate for open halter. Stock halter you will want a western show halter. For showmanship or performance halter, (obstacle or jumping)...

I would say go for him. It sounds like his personality and training is just right for your daughter's experience and confidence needs at this time. It also sounds like you understand his needs health wise. The price seems right--i think you will soon have a pony!

Today is the 2nd time in less than a week that a Colorado low has missed us. We are getting wind tonight from the storm going past to the south but no snow.

What do you have for predators? Do keys can be good protectors, but I would get a full size one, not a mini. It is expecting a lot of a mini donkey to protect against wolves or dogs, even coyotes if there are a lot of them--not to mention a cougar. A mini donkey stands no chance against a...

The Arabian type is a trend that has taken a pretty good hold on the registry shows. Horses that were winning 10 years ago have a hard time competing in today's open halter classes. Today they like to see more leggy, refined horses, which is why the Shetland bred ones have become so popular...

ClaraN this is a cable show halter--this is what is used on minis showing in breed shows. If you show in western stock halter then a western type show halter--leather halter, with or without silver trim, is the proper halter to use. That is what is usually used in performance (jumper...
