One of the first minis we ever bought is a pinto stallion named Touch of Magic whose paternal Grandfather was Lucky Four Harbor Lights and maternal grandfather was Hemlock Brooks Buckaroo (Making great-grandpa Ramundo). Even though some trainers and such have told us he is too "old school or...

Many of the folks in Area III have seen our little guy Boss. He is 4 and the tallest he has ever measured (while acting like a hopped up stallion during measurement, ARGHHH!) was 27". Usually he measures in the 26" range. He is double registered and we do a lot of parades and public service...

I got this this evening. I emailed the rescue group in Arizona to see if any of the horse are ponies or minis. I will let everyone know what I hear. Has anyone heard of this Arizona rescue before? Anyone interested in rescuing a baby "big horse"? Ruth ----- Original Message ----- From...

What a lucky old girl she is to have found someone ,such as you, who is willing to invest the time and effort into her rehab. My advice, take the positive ideas and ignore the negative ones. It sounds as if you are doing everything that you can for her. Good Luck and God Bless you both. Gary

I agree that the information regarding nutrition is incredibly important with minis. Just within our own heard we have horses that have dramatically different needs in terms of protein level and starch. Some, need a higher protein level or they have very loose manure and have difficulty...

Our four year old stallion has broken out in hives last summer and this summer. The vet happened to be at our farm for something else last year and identified the "lumps" as hives and said to give him the minimum adult dosage of benedryl. He is very small, only about 120 lbs. at 26 inches...

This incident occurred about one hour away from us and very near where we buy our hay. It is a huge story on our local news. It was just reported that the snakes cage was only covered with a blanket, no lid. The snake had also previously escaped earlier that night. The baby's maternal...

What a great horse he is. Thanks for letting Ruth and I share him. He is indeed a celebrity Gary

Gary has a good time teasing me about our Buckeroo son that I absolutely adore. He is as sweet as he is beautiful. We are hopeful that we will have at least two Buckeroo grandbabies next year. Ruth

Gary and I enjoyed the Perry show. I was absolutely thrilled when our Buckaroo son won the Senior Stallion 32-34 class with very novice me at the end of his lead. We were also very proud of our homegrown 4 year old mare Kahlua in Country Pleasure driving. She has only been driving about a...

Yes, we are going and bringing our tiny senior stallion, our Buckeroo son and our "B" size driving mare. However, we've decided not to bring Diesel our Shetland. We are looking forward to the weekend, should be fun. Gary and Ruth

Gary and I will be going to Perry with three of our AMHR horses. Wish we had more room in the trailer and the extra stall and entry money to take our shetland. He is so much fun to drive and did such a good job in Marianna. We hope to take him to Congress. I emailed the showbill to everyone...

Gary and I are still so relatively new at the whole mini horse thing that I guess I never paid attention to the amateur gelding incentive program or the amateur rewards programs. I love doing the parades, vacation bible school, fall festivals and other stuff as well as driving outside the ring...

Congrats, Keely Cali looked really nice. Not bad for his first show, as you well know there was some tough competition. You should be very proud of your horses. Gary

Gary and I are excited about seeing many of our forum friends from here in Florida this Saturday, May 2nd at the one day AMHR/ASPC show at the Conder farm. In these tough economic times many people cannot afford big travel expenses or to take time off of work to travel. Hotels can be...

Just refreshing our previous post to remind everyone about these two fun events. It has been really neat to see how many small time mini-lovers have contacted us. Shows where they have to travel a great distance, leave their horses overnight at the arena, and stay in a hotel are a little...

The premium (showbill) for the May 2nd show at the Conder farm in Summerfield, Florida is now here. Just email us at [email protected] if you did not get one via email or snail mail and would like one. Hope to see lots of ponies there.

We had our vet vaccinate some of the horses that were going places first thing this year but have deided to do the rest ourselves. The catalog and label info for 5 way vaccines state to give a 1ml. dose then 3-5 weeks later give another 1 ml dose then revaccinate at one year. Our adult horses...
