Well, I got a cart and it came with two sets of wheels (bicycle and wooden). So my question is, which do you use where? I assume the wooden ones are for parades on concrete? Which are best in an arena?

We will be having three miniature classes at our horse shows this year. We will have a halter class all ages size 38 and under, a driving class (any cart is allowed), and a hunter/jumping class. We are a saddle club that has 36 classes for all types of horses. We are not a sanctioned show...

Bless you. I went through that last yaar. Had two mares I pasture bred so didn't know for sure when foals were due. Put up my cameras, put on the monitors and put my cot in the kitchen and got woken up about every 30 minutes! This went on for a month or more. I have to get up at 5 to get...

When my daughter first started showing (11 years ago) we bought a 17 year old Western Pleasure Show horse. We did not do a vet check and he had heaves. The people never told us. They delivered him to us and knew our situation. We owned a barn at a saddle club and had no grass pasture only...

Here in northern mississippi, I paid $24 for the coggins and $35 for the farm visit this last time. My vet has gone up a $1 each year for the past 5 years. I only pull coggins on the horses we show and what is being sold, but still adds up.

Thanks! I just love that picture!

Wow! I wanted to print a copy of the picture and the site would not allow it. Could you put a copy here. It is so cute!

Thanks for all the responses. After posting my questions, I did go to AMHA on line and discovered the jumps were supposed to be 5 feet wide. I don't know if my husband will feel like redoing ours since we are not sanctioned, but I am going to show him the pictures you sent and see what he decides.

Ok, bumping this up. Somebody please you must have some pix of your horses jumping and can tell me the width to use to build some jumps. Pretty Please?

Where and what is this sale?

We have decided to add a mini jumping class at our club shows to try to encourage more mini owners to come out and show. The only mini show around here is the Mid South Fair in September which is AMHA. We currently have a mini driving and mini halter class. We don't follow any AMHA/AMHR...

Last year someone on the forum said they used calf manna the last couple months of their mares pregnancy and that the resulting foals had no problems being up on their hooves. (not problem with lax tendons). So I tried it and none of my foals were down like in the previous year. I used...

I'm interested in starting Clicker Training. What do you recommend as the best book etc to order to start? I went to the sites listed in previous posting and there are several choices. Is it better to get the video?

Well Ashley, in the first place, AMHA said I had to send in the papers. The other farm had had the prefix for years not after I used it. In fact there are two farms with almost the same prefix, only a space is the difference. They said they should have caught it. Heck I would have left it...

I am a little ticked off about something and need to vent to someone who knows how frustrating all the paperwork with the registries can be. I have a gelding who I registered under a name at 6 months of age. I had used the prefix for his mother also. About 18 months later, I decided to send...

I did not think it was particularly funny, but it certainly didn't upset me. I think some folks take all of this too seriously. And I am not refering to abuse of animals. I don't think this ad will make anyone run out and buy a mini to ride chasing wagons.

Yes, like "Woodnldy" when I started the other thread it was to try to find out bloodlines that produced dwarves. It appears though that that would be most at some time or another. I still would be interested in knowing about stallions that were used that were dwarfs. Of course I know that...

Runamuk: I sure don't see dwarf either. Is his bite bad? He looks fine for a horse his height. JMO

Hey Happy Valley have I got news for you. My saddle club has been having mini classes for the last few years. (this is in addition to full size gaited/QH/ and speed classes).This past year we had miniature halter (we use 38" and under, just one class) and a cart class. Next year we are adding...

Well, this has really proven to be very interesting and informational. So....from what John has stated he has seen dwarfism in all pedigrees. As I am just really starting out, this whole issue was "frightning" to me, especially when I looked back and saw "Hussler" and "Lord of the Isles" in...
