2016 Miniature Horse WORLD Issues April/May 2016 - Volume 32, Number 2 | Page 30
Perhaps the highlight for many amateurs or new mini owners was the
seminar given by Brooke the Clipper Girl. Chairs packed the room as
Brooke gave her candid opinions on clipper choice, techniques for a
great body clip and even some of her trade secrets! Her vast knowledge of this subject was evident even before she revealed her incredible 16-year history of clipping horses. Expect to see at least one great
article in MHW prompted by Brooke’s informative dialogue and face
clipping pictorial!
Featured on Saturday was the informative
visual slideshow depicting the multitude
of colors of horses, created and narrated
by Dan Simmons- a Morgan horse breeder
and active genetic horse color educator. His
informative power point explained what color
breeding matches can produce and gave visual
examples of the rainbow of color examples horses
can portray.
Overall the feeling of the 2016 Annual Meeting was that of camaraderie. Attendees enjoyed spending time together without the usual
hubbub and rush of getting ready for their next class- as is normal at
a horse show. AMHA is privy to broad and diversely talented group
of people. Its members have one thing that binds them together, the
love of the Miniature horse. This passion drives their lives and assures
the Miniature breed will continue to flourish for many more years to
come.
Friends for over 30 years, Toni Reece (Reece Family Miniatures and
Wade Burns (Lucky Four Farms), welcomed the opportunity to visit
between meetings.
Breaks between meetings were sponsored this year by the AMHA Club,
Orange Blossom Miniature Horse
Club. A big “thank you” goes out
to this club for their generosity
and efforts. The repast of cookies, fruit, and drinks kept meeting attendees focused and attentive
