The Florida Miniature Horse Club is pleased to announce the following upcoming events:

Start your show season with a bang by attending our Saturday, March 14th clinic.

Topics will include:

GETTING YOUR MINI READY TO SHOW (clipping and grooming)

I JUST BOUGHT A SHETLAND - NOW WHAT DO I DO WITH HIM? (How to show your Shetland pony)

DRIVING YOUR MINI (without driving yourself and him/her crazy) and

PERFORMANCE EVENTS (hunter/jumper & obstacle).

Cost is $20 per person which will include a BBQ lunch. The clinic is scheduled to start at 10AM at the Conder farm in Summerfield.

Put the FUN and AFFORDABILITY back into showing your minis and Shetland ponies.

The FMHC is proud to be sponsoring two one day shows at the Conder farm.

Both shows will feature:

NO STALL FEES (everyone shows out of their trailer)

GREAT BARGAINS ON ITEMS FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR HORSES at the gently used items area (you can set-up a table for $5)

YUMMY HOMEMADE TREATS AND ICE COLD DRINKS from the concession stand

DISCOUNTS FOR YOUTH (unlimited classes after you show a horse in two youth classes for $60) and

SUPER DEALS on entry fees (only $20 per class plus a $5 grounds fee per horse.

JOIN US ON MAY 2nd FOR AMHR & ASPC and AUGUST 1st FOR AMHA.

See you soon,

You guys are awesome. This is just exactly one of the perfect ways to promote and encourage the Miniature Horse. If I was back home, I'd be there in a heart beat. I hope other clubs see this and follow suit. You go guys! You got it going on for sure.

Ok all u mini owners out there be sure to get to these seminars and shows. Finally affordable shows and educational seminars, HAPPY DAY!!! Good job Gary and gang

All right!

Definately going to be there for this! For the clinic in March, can we bring our horse to participate? Or is this a seminar type clinic? Was going to try to "wing it" at the upcoming February show in Ocala, but might wait now to get a better handle on some things hopefully through this clinic.

Looking forward to the two upcoming show dates there as well, and will hopefully be at the meeting next month too. Do ya'll have the new club website up yet?

Very excited to see you all soon!

Tanya, will be glad to see both yourself and Lee. The new website should be up and running this week with any luck.

Ruth and I am so sorry to hear of your bad experience earlier today. Don't let people (i'm using the term loosely) like that ruin your enjoyable times.

Gary

Sorry for the delay in answering your questions, but Ruth and I both work during the day, work horses when we get home, and then, have time to look at the forum.

The show manager is Marylin Gilchrest and show bills are currently being developed. If you have any concern about show stewards you may PM me with those.

As stated in the original post there is a "R" show and then an "A" show at a later date.

If you must have information immediately, let me know so I can e-mail you my personal cell phone number for an instant reply.

Thanks for your interest, hope to see you in May.

Sincerely,

Gary
