Marty....... We all think the world of you too! Yes, that was Shane. All of our kids love to show but I would have to say he loves it all the most. He wants to do everything at shows and obviously he is small for his age and young to be doing any of it but he doesn't care. At our local club...

I've read post after post of people over the past few months complaining about "high-steppers" or "hackney-types" in the pleasure classes with excessive action and many people have criticized the judging or the judges for not penalizing those horses. I've pretty much stayed out of it and I do...

Pam I have to agree with you and also say that I get tired of people complaining about the stewards and the judges because I personally think both are extremely difficult jobs and we should all appreciate the people that are willing to put themselves out there and do it. I have yet to see a...

We've always bought the horse NOT the "farm name" and not the "pedigree". We are never really in the market to buy a horse but we are always looking and keeping our eyes open so that when we come across a horse that is right for our family we don't miss out on something special. We've bought...

You have seen most of our driving horses and we have Lutke harnesses which are biothane and we really like the look and how easy they are to maintain and clean. Some of the harnesses we have had now for several years and they have held up really well and they still look great. Having said that...

Just wondering..................does anyone else think my family is insane? I play along a LOT with their hair-brained ideas but I can see them somehow figuring out how to get the whole family showing horses in this EXTREME VERSATILITY class and killing me in the process. I can only do so much...

I haven't had time to be here on the forum for a very long time and I didn't take the time to read every reply or even search around to find out what caused you to need to post this about Erica but whatever the reason I feel the need to add my two cents. It sounds as though she is getting a...

I think we have what you saw at Nationals. At the Taylor Pony Sale last May we bought a cart like that which I think was Bruce Abbott's and he used to use it for training and said he also sometimes used it in the show ring. The one we have bought has natural wood shafts, red metal cart base...

We are in Minnesota, in the Mpls/St.Paul metro area, 15 minutes west of Minneapolis in Orono. We have 10 acres and our whole family is involved in our minis and ponies. We show minis, shetlands and have two hackneys that we hope to start showing in 2010. Our website Enchanted Hollow We also...

I think you need to check the stables in your area that do board and find out what they offer and how much they charge for big horses. A big horse that is not an easy keeper can eat a LOT of hay and feed during winter months. We don't currently board, but we did agree to board a mini for someone...

Unless your child has allergies, just buy them a real hamster already instead of a toy one. Cheaper, safer, more fun and teaches them responsibility with the care and feeding requirements. How does this even happen in this day and age. NEWS STORY SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC 4 NEWS) - This years...

My husband Bob and I write the column for The Journal and the deadline is near and we are working on the column for the next issue and we are hoping for more news and information to be submitted from those of you that live in Area VI. Don't assume what you have to share is not newsworthy...

We give them a HUGE thumbs up too. They are reliable and take great care of the horses they are hauling! As an added bonus they make fantastic coffee. I survived Congress thanks to them and the coffee pot that was always on.

You might want to think twice about that cute name you stick your oh-so-adorable fuzzy little foal with. I'd always personally felt that horses (all animals for that matter) live up to the name you choose for them. And over the past few years I've gotten to know a couple of animal...

Not even sure this would be something that would be appropriate as a proposal or not. I decided to bring it up though because I recently came across a mini that I really liked but that I passed on buying it because it is "unregistered". I would have been willing to pay the money to hardship the...

Bob already pretty much said it all and spoke for our family with his original post on this but I wanted to add something further for people to think about. I think this rule proposal was not well thought out at all. The biggest impact would be on trainers showing multiple horses for clients...

I'm sorry to have missed the costume class!! Isabella must have been adorable. I am looking forward to her and Sienna growing up together and competing in youth together. I also meant to get a picture of the two of them together. Maybe we can do one at AMHR Nationals ?

Something was definitely going on. Pretty much everything horses do is for a reason and the calm/sensible horses especially should send up a red flag if their behavior changes this dramatically out of the blue. I've had horses react like this when something was messed up on their harness or when...

Congrats on all your wins!! You have some awesome horses and had a terrific show but my favorite horse of yours is........ Martin's Best Dressed Sinatra Congress STAKES CHAMPION Classic Pleasure Driving, Under He is beautiful and I love watching him drive. I am pretty sure he wants to move...

Congratulations!! You (and the horses) looked fantastic in and out of the ring. I KNOW how hard you worked and believe me it showed. Jessica did an awesome job of showing too! I am so glad your husband was able to fly in for a few days and got to see some of your best classes. Thanks for...
