2017 Miniature Horse World July E-Magazine | Page 4
editor’s notes
by Melissa Powell
S
ummer is here and for me it comes
with busy days filled to the brim with
barn chores and re-organizing. My
plan is to slowly upgrade with new fans (the
correct outdoor ones) stall mats (which
I’ve not used before) and possibly a new
wooden floor for my feed room. Finally
I’ll cross off a few items on my “someday
I’ll have” list. The barn certainly looks bet-
ter and the horses seem to approve.
You’ll notice two new offerings in
MHW too, a feature page to honor
someone (horse or person) whose life has
touched or influenced yours. This can be
in honor of them passing or just in fond
remembrance. It’s titled In Memoriam.
Also new in this issue is the feature, The
Miniature We’d Love to Own. This special
page introduces readers to the character
Miniatures we all have in our barns, that
special, once in a lifetime, heart horse that
deserves his own time in the spotlight. All
are welcomed to submit their own special
horse -Email: [email protected] for avail-
ability.
The AMHA World Show is on the ho-
rizon and with it the excitement of view-
ing the history making performances of
some of the most talented Miniatures in
the world. The show will be webcast this
year from the vintage, coliseum- where
horse shows and rodeos have been held
since the 1930’s. Still in the Will Rogers
facility but a different venue and feel for
certain. If you can’t attend, be sure to log
in and watch at www.amha.org The show
runs August 25 through September 2,
2017.
Enjoy this good old summertime!

W e believe in putting the horse first.
After all, that is why we are here and able to do what we do.
These horses are our working partners.
We promise to put the animal’s best interest before ours.
While ribbons and trophies are wonderful, they cannot re-
place the enjoyment of the animal itself. Therefore they are
our first priority at all times.
AS always my team is the heart of this program, my horses are the soul.
We specialize in matching client to equine for the perfect partnership. Our clientele is
compromised of both amateur and youth, with hundreds of World Champion and Na-
tional Champion wins to their credit.
Visit us in picturesque Delaware and we will treat you to a tour of our state of the art
training and boarding facility!
Best of luck in 2017 and beyond! We’ll see you at the horse shows!
