My deaf one never had floppy ears. Neither have a ton of the paints and pintos Ive seen and met who are deaf either. In fact my hearing horses hold their ears much floppier.

My deaf mini was by far my best driving mini. While it took me awhile to figure out how to train him to drive once I did he was AMAZING. He never had issues with ANYTHING. I drove him on the road, through obstacles, over under and through just about EVERYTHING. He was my most reliable driving...

AMHR / ASPC do have a registry for any horses out of or by a registered AMHR or ASPC horse/pony. They formed the NSPPR. This is copied from the Registry's webpage National Sport Performance Pony   National Sport Performance Ponies … If A Little More Pony is What You Are Looking For!The...

I said no major investment EXCEPT to get a horse with good conformation. Those same fees your talking about are also applied to a performance horse. Sweats show fees vets trainers ect... they also have the added expense of more show and training equipment than a halter horse. That is what I was...

I honestly believe there are way more out there but we are all scared to talk about it. It makes it real somehow. Like we are weak or ..... We are exposed when we show. We are in front of tons of people some we know some we dont know. If our horses behave then its good, if we do good are we...

I would love to see more performance and all round breeders too but that takes time. Major time. They have to look at having those foals (At least enough to show and promote their breeding program) around for 3+ years. Halter is easy you dont need too much stuff A horse a halter and some body...

No your not the only one. There are tons and tons of people who do the same thing. Whether they win or loose they still feel that "Drop" after. Lots of times its because the people you are with in that situation are ones that you constantly have to worry about what you said. And its not fun to...

You cant do this in the cart but you can slowly teach her to trot in hand using ground poles. You space them to the point where she is actually forced to trot. She will always return back to pacing if shes scared or nervous so you need to keep her calm and keep calm yourself. Only ever ask her...

I would never use them to show. To me if they are used they are used at public events to just add a little sparkle. The Bronc Nose Bands Ive seen on most minis dont look good at all or horses for that matter. I hated them. Im still not a huge fan though because my mom made some for the ponies...

We used Sharrway http://www.sharrway.com/transport.html From Texas to Canada. Our mare arrived in great shape IN FOAL and gave us a beautiful filly the following spring. She was clean and well handled. Which considering shes palomino with the whitest mane and tail is hard to do. (BELIEVE ME)

Heres a Mini Curly wearing one. And our POA Gelding (He was doing Canada Day Pony Rides) Im not sure why I dont have pictures of some of our other guys wearing them. I dont use them for anything other than pony rides cause they are sparkly and the kids love them.

I use the term Tovero simply because she is not tested and there for I do not know whether shes Carrying Splash or Frame or..... Shes doing better and gaining some weight. I would really like to know if anyone recognizes her or thinks they do. She knows how to lunge and set up. Because she is...

I have seen where everything except the doors have been basically full sized. Then they have a short (Miniature) Sized door on. That way there they arent limiting themselves to miniatures and depreciating the value by making it so that if they had to sell or relocate in the future that their...

Beautiful pictures. Could you please let us know how it works on movement shots? Im looking at getting a new camera as my poor Cannon Powershot SD1000 is very old now and beat up. (Not to mention the 7.1 Mega Pixels is well.....) And while the standing and posing pictures are awesome still...

Every breed out there has a half breed or acceptable out crosses. Sometimes you have to earn the full papers by showing or competing enough in order to qualify for complete papers. There is a huge number of people I know who are upset by this coming into effect. I have 2 Stunning foals who...

I have to say that my mares can have some pretty good spats. Ive kept stallions together in the past but I have also kept them separate. While I dont mind them being aggressive towards each other (That is NATURAL) I will not tolerate any aggression towards people in any way shape or form. I...

My 12 hand Curly Pony Mare takes an 18" girth with our http://www.thorowgood.com/safari-Cub.html Saddles. My mom actually made a 10" girth for our B Sized mares due to the billets being so long on the saddle. We also have 18" and 12" Western Cinches as well for the mares with the western/english...

My guys are much happier with a side check if they have to have a check than an over check. I have only had one mini that HAD to have an over check. Not sure why but if she didnt have her over check on it was NOT a good drive. Its not that anything was skipped in her training or anything like...

Here is my 2012 Curly Palomino Overo Colt. (Blue eyes included) His dam is a palomino overo as well. Sire of the above colt and Grandson of SkipAStar. Hes a tovero. Dam of the colt above. She is LWO Positive. Our newest mare Im sure carries something Splash or Frame or both. Shell be...

Pintos dont gain spots as they age. White on the face can show better over time. But over the body its not pinto spotting that does that. With Appies and Pintos being bred so much together in the Miniature World its hard to find pintos who carry no appy in their pedigree. Appies can color out...
