FAO Schwarz Catalog

[CountryHaven]

Susane, I sure wish I'd known... Mingus could have had one of mine... and I would have paid YOU $50.00 (of course, at the time they were teenagers, so Mingus probably wouldn't have been interested anyway).

Also, not a single one of my broodmares hasn't carried my grandkids around, very happily, and I can't wait until next year when the older one (will be 4) gets to go to a few shows with us and do costume and leadline.

As for the 'toy' connection... some people (outsiders probably) would consider our minis as not much more than our 'toys'... more or less it's a matter of semantics. As I said in a different post on this, I remember some (many) years back when SharPei's were 'new' here, Nieman Marcus had one in their X-mas catalog.

Well, whether it is right or not - doesn't matter - we will always have a difference of opinions!

BUT I will say this - that little girl with the mini is adorable!! And Tony sooooo are YOU!!!!

Correct me if I am wrong but doesnt AMHR have a lead line class at nationals????

I have a gelding that is broke to ride. Granted he dont get road anymore due to a accident. But before then my nephews road him all the time. HE didnt care. He is only 31.5" tall.

Yes, they do and the 4H group that leased two of my horses this summer had kids that did the Leadline class that was offered at our local AMHR shows and they had a blast.

Still, some mini people tried to tell me one little girl was "too big". In whose eyes? She met the rule requirements on age, steward and judge approval while in the ring, fit the mini beautifully and what a nice way to get started in minis with a blue ribbon. The little girl is hooked on showing and can't wait for next year, even though she will be too old for the Leadline class.

BTW - loved Sue C's pics, too!
