Morning.
My name is Candi and my husband and I live in WA state. We run a show barn (WP, HUS, Dressage & Halter) for mostly breed horses (APHA, ApHC, PtHA).
I was hired to judge an open show 3 years ago that was 1/2 mini and pony classes... Went there NOT owning any minis/ponies. Came back with 3! LOL! Since then have bought/sold both AMHR and ASPC, but have finally started to realize we need direction! At one point got up to 16 ponies/minis! UGH! LOL
Since we've slimmed down. You folks should put a WARNING label on these little suckers
HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!
Anyhoo - I purchased a nice dual registered stallion last year from several states away - that (as I peruse the forums here was bred/raised through a member) - that's from the Lucky Hart Ranch. He's an aged stallion that was shown as a yearling, but then used as a herd sire until I bought him.
Needless-to-say, I don't own anything that can't/won't be shown... we didn't make it to many shows with him this past year - but did make it 2 three - and while he did VERY well (halter only this year) - finished Res Champion overall - we're going to be cart-training him this winter as I think he's definitely got the potential - but I would LOVE opinions on his fitting/overall appearance from last year (good/bad/ugly). Thoughts for this next year. Etc...Want to cart train him, but keep him in "decent" enough halter shape!
He's a 9yr old AMHR/PtHA 35" stallion. He "sat" in a field as a breeding stallion from ages 2-8. Then we put him back in the show ring. Most shows ended up top 2 - if not top 3 in every class - winning most.

Thank you for your "ear" and your thoughts on our boy...
