I cant even begin to explain how it is to be able to watch this on the internet and to see the horses and people and hear them introduced so I write them down and look some of them up later and read everybody posts.I will never have the money to own a Nationial horse so it is so great to be able to be a part of it right from my home.
A great learning experience for a newbie who is going to show for the first time at a MHCO show in 2 weeks.
Thanks everybody involved for sharing.
Hey, Welcome to the world of small equine - I see that you are a member of MHCO so welcome to that too. The MHCO is a great way to get started on the right track with the miniatures! I wouldn't be so down on your self either
I started as a youth, who was very much on a YOUTH
BUDGET!
I started showing at MHCO shows and the CNE. My parents help me with what they can, but we are by no means a rich family. The things I have now (other then the horses) are not at all what I started with... As can be said about most people. I started in 2005 with buying my first filly, and then in 2008 (my last year as a youth member with AMHR) I went to Nationals with that same filly, who was Ontario bred, and came back with 5 National Top Tens with that girl! My gelding, who was under $1000 CND, also went National Top Ten. If one wants to go, one can find a way. I got a job
So just never say never.
This is my first year not showing on the MHCO show circuit, and I likely won't for a few years still for the same reason that I'm not at Nationals this year - College
For some reason school just doesn't understand. Instead, I attended a number of AMHR shows in the USA this year and I can't wait to do the same next year.
I will however, be at the MHCO Collingwood show to watch in a few weeks; if you are interested you can look me up and we can talk a bit more about Nationals or showing.
Good luck.
Again, I too am SO glad we can watch online and share the joy with those there in Tulsa!
