I Love a Parade!
| 
It’s a song, folks! You’re supposed to feel the beat, get out of your seat, and MOVE!
For those that may not think they have a “show” horse or don’t want to spend those hard-earned dollars for show fees, a parade is a great way to show your little ones (yes, horses and kids or grandkids) off to the public. One organizer that heard we might be considering their parade got very excited over the phone. She “loved those little horses” and she hoped “we’d bring them to the parade!” Her enthusiasm was catching.
You can simply lead the horse and your heart can’t help but melt when you hear a child exclaim, “Oh, Mommy. Look at the little horses.” You can wear shorts or dress fancy. I mean, where else have you been lately that you could wear that old “after 5” outfit? Put it on, hop in your cart and drive down the street in style. Let your imagination run free. Decorate your cart and/or your horse. You could even wear a costume. At one parade we had two little minis dressed as a bride and groom. Have fun with it!
Ta-dum, ta-dum, parum pum pum. Get up and get moving! Look at our Special Events schedule and pick a parade. Call Liz Rohde and let her know you want to participate.

The club received this letter from the AMHR National Youth Committee and we are posting it here for all that may be interested. Our youth will be the ones to determine what happens with our miniature clubs, shows, and horses so we want to encourage them to participate, learn, and have fun doing it.
Spring vaccinations...what and where!

Spring is in the air and that brings thoughts of spring vacinations. This reprint of an article, by Dr. Rachel Jahnke, from our 2005 newsletter seems timely. "Ask the Vet question: What is recommended for spring immunizations for miniatures, and which ones can be safely combined...also, where on the horse should these shots be given?"

This year’s Fun Show will be held at the Beaver Creek Saddle Club grounds in Oostburg on June 6. Each year our club hosts a Fun Show for all who like to play with their miniatures. We have classes from halter, which is a beauty contest for horses, to races, which can be really entertaining since you can’t ride these guys - that means the person races beside their horse. There is a food stand for lunches and camaraderie is abundant. So whether you want to just see these little guys in action or just want to “talk horses” this show is for you! For a complete list of classes view the showbill
