MHW magazine - really great stuff!

[ClickMini]

I am really happy to see the performance articles taking off. Some really good stuff coming out of the performance committee. I think the performance futurities are fantastic, both of my foals are nominated for hunter and driving. The stallion rankings, etc. are just fantastic. What a great way to promote your performance stallion. The educational articles are great, too. I think the new feature of having the judges talk about what division a driving horse should go in, and why they think it, is excellent. There are similar type articles in Practical Horseman and Dressage Today. My only quibble was with one photo where the horse was NOT trotting, it was clearly a canter stride. Anyway, they are asking for photo submissions, and I am going to send a couple in myself.

I would also love to see a "Conformation Clinic" feature similar to what you find in some of the big horse magazines where people could send photos in and the judge could place a "photo class." They have this in both Practical Horseman and in Horse & Rider. Good stuff. And did you notice that the registry will send you a DVD of the comparison class from the 2008 World Show for a small mailing fee? I am calling them on Monday to get mine!

I also have to say that there are some farms that really do have great ads. They are not always the same from month to month.

Anyway, I am very happy with the magazine this time around! It is a bit slimmer than the usual one that comes just before the World Show, I guess that reflects the sad state of our economy. Maybe I am wrong and there is one more issue before the show. Anyway, one of these years I AM going to the World show! I have been to Nationals twice, once without a horse and once with. I would dearly love to experience the "other side" of our beautiful shiny miniature horse coin!

What do you like best about the magazine? Do you have certain features that you love and look forward to?

You know, it would really go a long way if you would send this note to AMHA and let them know. I am sure it would make Alison's day to get this kind of feedback directly.

What a fantastic vocation, to take photos of the most beautiful, well-known miniature horses in the world. Hard work to get just the right shot and pose but you get to visit all the great farms................and to see the fabulous "Dream Barn".

The whole magazine is one of the things AMHA has always done right IMO it is great promotion to those new to the breed, the articles are wonderful and informative for both the newbie and the seasoned mini owner- and it just presents a very professional perception of the industry. LIke I said on another thread it is the one thing I really miss about being a AMHA member

I have ALWAYS really loved my MHW magazine. It is something I look forward to reading and also looking at all the beautiful ads. This particular issue I thoroughly enjoyed the "Building the perfect barn".
