Small Equine - What a simple solution! Thanks! Is 45" a fair height? or should I take it to 12 hands 48"? I don't plan on having any riding class's except for maybe leadline or peewee class's, for open shows. I have a couple quick questions- Do you drive barrels just like you do when riding...

Thanks for the links! CDE's are another thing we'd like to incorperate into the program but thats a project in its own and will start out as a open event before it gets brought into 4-H. I've learned it takes baby steps to get anywhere in the 4-H program. But if we can get out from under the...

Hello, Summer is winding down and I'm getting back online occasionally to gear up for my winter projects. Sorry, I haven't been attentive to my fellow forum members I hope you've all been enjoying the out doors and wonderfull weather we've had this summer like I have. I'm working on another...

Congrats Leeana!! I can't wait to see him. He's sounds like he's going to be Alot of fun!! Good name - already a brave, curious little guy!

I love ZIP Ties!! And duck tape! But Zip ties sound like a good solution! Thanks! No one has posted anything negative about using PVC so it must be ok to use. Hog panels I'd be afraid one of them would stick a foot thru it pawing, or trying to stand on it to hang their heads over more...

albahurst - Sorry,I'm not of much help here, but I'll be watching this thread. I would think you may want gates that are adjustable since different places you may show at the stalls may vary in size. Let me know if you find any good instructions or links on the topic. Thanks I have to come up...

Thanks to you all! I started this thread as a last resort, with little time to get replies. They are all great pics. And since I have your permission now, Can I save them and use them in future projects? The only places the pictures would be used will be 4-H related and used as donation.(I...

I've reworked the Mini Horse project book for our county 4-H. Last year they had me do it in B&W and this year they said we can print it in color so now I need new pics. I just found this out lastnight and wanted to have the booklet in to the office for printing today. So I'm limited on time...

I love the obstacle course idea, but that was questioned and they don't want to have to get any equipment out for the class. Was told that right away then someone else spoke up and said its more like rail work usually, so they let it pass. So until we get to seperate the mini's from the riding...

Thank you, Your descriptions were very helpful! I knew these classes are usually for young horse, that is how they are explained in the 4-H rules as production classes, BUT there's a sentence that says horses 3 and over should have a seperate class, which is what I was prepared to fall back...

Hello, I did up the show bills for our local fun shows at the fair, I added ground driving and lunge line(longe line, however it supposed to be spelled?) I added both knowing they would fuss and not want to except them so I put in both so we'd compromise and they'd atleast approve 1 of them...

My horses love bread! (they love about any treats) But I do feed it as an extra treat not part of their regular diet. I would feed a donut hole or 2 as a treat too. My horses love left over goodies from the kitchen cupboards. Other favorites to my guys are crackers,pretzels, breafast cereal -...

I have had fish tanks as long as I can remember bred chiclids for a while, but then let hubby talk me into doing a saltwater tank. So I'm down to 3 55-gal tanks 2 fresh water and 1 Salt. YOur tanks look GReat!! I like the guppies they are so colorful! I've always loved Angel fish but never...

Here's a reminder of what last winter was like: this wasn't taken by me but its an awesome pic. And then my favorite cowboy pic. Time to relax This was the newest edition I think he feels comfortable. Thanks for letting me share and for sharing your 2008 favorites I enjoy looking at...

I've never used that particular model. But we have all(family and friends) used Kodak digital camera's And I have heard NO complaints about the low end or the high $ kodaks. It looks like a nice camera. I personally have used 3 different Kodak models each one was a little different, but all...

I would make him respect you! chain if needed, but let him run and " feel his oats"for a few minutes while you clean the stall and then move onto grooming or training. If you groom first he'll just go roll, anyway, lol. Let him run off some steam before you expect him to stand quiet to be...
