    AMHR Obstacle Driving

    Even though it doesn't say it doesn't mean a judge won't eliminate you for not having it. I know someone who was eliminated for not having a cavasan even though the rules do not say you have to have one. I did find in a supplement that cavasans are optional, but never found anything about it in...

    Registration Question

    I'm not looking at the rule book right now, but arn't there consequences for the stallion owner who gives a breeder's certificate without filing a stallion report? If there arn't, there should be.

    Rule Change Proposals

    Thank goodness they are going to rewrite it! I was looking for a rule and had to go through all the suppliments to try to find the latest update. Very annoying.

    Rule Change Proposals

    That is exactly the same reason I think a horse that is handled by an amateur should not be shown by a professional at the same show. (I know the amateur must own the horse already) But then the amateur has not worked with their horse all year, but handed a lead rope to be shown in an amateur...

    What makes them famous?

    Glad you mentioned that. Buckaroo also was the Get of Sire Champion at AMHA World Show a couple times in the 2000's (Can't remember the years, but not too long ago.

    How are your horses doing in this heat?

    Here in Iowa it is hot, but the humidity is what makes it so terrible. The horses are free to come and go into the barn as they choose. They usually come in about noon and stay a while, the go back out when they feel like it. No one is sweating or showing any signs of stress. They have...

    Humane issue: Driving Horses roaring/wheezing

    Why not propse a rule to elimate check reins? That would help with the problem. American Driving Society does not allow checks and horses look and drive very nicely.

    bitless driving bridles

    I've never tried one and would only try one on an extremely well broke driving horse. Really don't like the idea at all!

    Another great loss!

    Oh, so sad to hear that. I knew him from the Area VI club meetings and he was always so friendly. He will be missed. He was profiled in the recent book put out by the ASPC "The Big Book of Small Equine" and the name of his farm was Bellevue Farms Classic Shetlands. Google Eldon McCall...

    Mystery buckle

    From a website: Buxton (Breastcollar) is a combination of straps worn that fits around the neck and between the front legs of the horse. It is used to hold the saddle and girth of the harness in place and keeps it from slipping back along the horse's flanks. The proper name for this piece of...

    Hay Prices!! OUCH

    Here in Iowa I will have to pay $5.00 for a 50-60 lb bale of alfalfa, delivered and stacked in the barn. It is up from $4.00 a bale because corn is $6.00 to $7.00 a bushel and they had to raise the hay prices to keep from taking the hay field and turning it in to a corn field. This is what the...

    Tips on Halter Breaking a 2 month old colt?

    Yes, the butt rope is just a really long rope. I have found it easier to make the loop around their rear and tie a knot in the rope so that it doesn't keep slipping. I have made my own "foal trainer" to help keep the rope in place, but it usually stays in place pretty well without it. I just...

    Tips on Halter Breaking a 2 month old colt?

    I always use a butt rope. It is just a long rope with a loop at the end that goes around the rear end. The lead end, I put through the halter and have it with the lead from the halter. This way you are not pulling on their head, just using the halter and that lead to keep them straight. The...

    Tease Looking Close? Maybe? Hopefully?

    I think a 3.0 is a B, but I suppose it depends on the grade scale they use. In most schools, 4.0 is an A.
