BMHS,AMHA, UKAMHS,MHCGB,AEMHS,IMHPS MINIATURE HORSE SHOWS 2011

BMHS, AMHA, UKAMHS, IMHPS, MHCGB, AEMHS etc SHOW DATES , CLINICS etc FOR ALL AMERICAN or BRITISH MINIATURE HORSE SOCIETIES FOR 2011

Updated Saturday 8th October 2011

New-because I have recently experienced exceptionally high ,very unreasonable entry fees I am now going to add these to the show details so you can make your own mind up whether to support or not.

However please remember that shows offering Royal International qualifiers have to pay a Ł40 showing levy and Horse of the Year Show qualifiers Ł100 to the BMHS but this does not mean that they need to charge up to triple the normal class entry fee to cover this.

Perhaps voting with your feet might make greedy show organisers rethink their pricing policy.- this should be better for all concerned.
e been made by checking the 'updated on...' date above.

This information is for all Miniature Horse Enthusiasts wherever you are and whatever type of horse that you have.

My aim is to list as many shows , seminars, teach ins etc as I can find out about that are offering miniature horse classes or training irrespective of which society they are affiliated to or what qualifier may be offered

If you know of any shows that are holding classes that you do not see listed simply contact me clearly stating date-name of show-area-website address-email contact- I will then add them to the list.

If the shows have their own website you will be taken directly to it by clicking on the button to the left of the show listing. If it is not live then the show does not have this facility. f I have the wrong link please use contact me page to let me know.
