Small World - Fun Show Below this post....go down

It's a small world...and the Internet seems to pull us even closer together.

When I started looking for information about chariots I ran across a blog that talked about the races in Odgen, Utah and I put the information and some photos I "borrowed" from their site....

Well one of the teams belonged to Darcy Hiatt and it was super of him to write me and fill in the details.

":Hi, I just kinda stumbled onto your website and saw the pictures of the miniature horse chariot racing. The team of paints are mine and I am doing the driving and one of the horses in the picture above is also mine. If you have any questions or comments about it let me know!! "
Darcy Hiatt

Thanks Darcy
And to make things even better, Darcy has sent detailed photos of his racing chariot. Next blog I will show you his photos of a racing chariot for those of you who might wish to build one yourselves.

Blue Roan Colt - 2008

Boones Buckeroo Fancy Pants was bred in 2007 to one mare and produced a blue roan colt in 2008. I had the opportunity to see and photograph this colt for registration papers. The mare was an AMHR only registered. As of this posting I do not know the name that this colt will be registered under. But at least you can see what Fancy can produce.

Linc and Baldrige

I had promised to post photos of Toad Hill's Lincoln Award and Toad Hill's Baldrige Award so here they are together.Perhaps not perfectly matched, but pretty close in color and size. They are both offered to sale, hopefully to someone with plans for a future team.

Nationals In Tulsa, 2008

So call me a slow poke. Here it is almost the last day of Nationals I am finally getting around to posting about it. For those that show horses, you knew that and I am not telling you anything you didn't know. However there are some interesting things you can see online now.

If you go to www.horseshowsonline.com you can see the show results.

This is a quote from the Show Details, as well as the graph that shows Show Entires by Owner's Province or State.

"The American Miniature Horse Registy national show is proud to be one of the premier miniature horse show in the nation. The years shows feature over 1500 miniature horses from all over the United States and Canada. Show dates for the show are: September 4 - 13, 2008 at the Expo Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. "

Looking at the graph (which is hard to tell some of the colors) it appears that 38% came from states other than those that have some percentage showing. Texas, which makes sense based up location, along with Oklahoma seem to be well represented. I wonder how many of these folks stuck around considering Gustav and Ike. Oh, on a side note, if you want to watch the course of any hurriance from birth to death check out: http://www.stormpulse.com/ .

I have also figured out how to capture video off the computer and if I can get it working, one of the next blogs will be about the obstacle class. Some of these minis obey better than my dogs!!
