A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
I am 19yrs old. I own a Paint Horse mare infoal (foal is FOR SALE IN UTERO!, a pony gelding who is FOR SALE!, Falabella gelding & stallion (Falabella mare coming soon!). I show my horses (and horses for other people) in English, Driving, and Halter classes. I love Falabellas and Miniature Horses. I also love Paint Horses, and have a huge interest in endangered breeds.

I have been a youth leader in the Haldimand 4H Miniature Horse Club for 5 years and have helped in promoting both Miniature Horses and 4H at the CNE for the past 2 years.

I now have a Horse Body Clipping Service for the Niaraga and Haldimand area, called New Design Horse Clipping. I have 7 years experience in clipping, 5 of those years were clipping show horses all summer. Clipping is a passion of mine; arabian style miniature show clipping is my specialty. I can also do a wide variety of traditional European style clips. I can clip all horses from Minis to Drafts! Please feel free to email me for more information, prices, and pictures: newdesignhorses@hotmail.com

    They were really good.
    I loved the Gypsy Vanner farm.

    I forgot to tell you that the most work with horses out there would probably to have your own stable and do trail rides, especially in the mountains.
    There's not much work out there with horses, unless your a western rider. Most of the work of there is Oil rigs, and cattle ranchers.

    wow hes so pretty! Yea you deffinatley can tell a difference. He reminds me of the build of my neighbors mini who was really stocky but small. He was colored though. If I ever sell one of my horses I want to get a mini just for company so now i have something to think about :]

  • Sarah S

    yea I knew you could show them im sure there are just as many divisions as showing the big horsese except for the riding part. If I ever buy a mini I will make sure its registered so I do have the possibility of showing. But im big into showing my two three year olds in the APHA/AQHa world

    hey,
    I saw you have a lot of experience with showing. I just started showing 3 of my minis and i find it hard to get them to stand up properly two of them have been shown quite alot already before i got them and im either not giving them the right commands or they are just to lazy to do it and i have a little filly who gets really bored of it all very quickly so i cant really do many training sessions as she then gets quite grumpy at shows any tipps???
    Your horses are very pretty by the way.

    Hi K, my names Jess

    you asked a question months ago on my Buckskins and Duns group, I decided to answer here cause it was so long ago

    I saw the pic you posted and thats clearly a BAY DUN ,
    Dun horses dont always need to have the striped legs to be duns, what matters is what gene the horse inherited from his parents. If he has one dun parent hes most likely a dun

    there was once a misconception in this country that a dun without the proper amount of primitive markings was a "Buckskin" this is not true, A buckskin is a once diluted BAY (diluted by the creme gene)

    a dun is a dun is a dun, even when it also carries the "buckskin"/creme gene
    dun trumps creme

    the Dun horse can come in BAY Chsnt. or BLACK (Dun,Red Dun, Grullo)

    Hey,
    She dosent really rub she just sticks her head thru the fence and she dosent rub on anything else. She also dose it in her stable and she goes into different paddocks but i will try that. Im not allowed to braid or band her mand (miniature horse showing rules here) so not sure what to do i have thought about putting fake hair or something iin but not sure how to do it so its not obvious.

  • Sissi Wagnerberger

    I think that mgiht work she already has a really long one but i can give it a try when i clip her.
    I will wash and clip her next weekend so i will see how she looks washed and then see what i will do i will take a pic and upload it so u can see wat it looks like.
