president’s message
by Joe Kahre
Dear fellow fanciers,
I have been reaching out in each of my
writings about the importance of being
positive, looking for the good, promoting
the good, take the good and running
with it! The good is our own personal
relationship with each other, with our
horses, with ideals, our passion. This
common denominator here is, of course,
our AMHA Miniature horses. They bring
so much joy to our lives, introduce us to so
many new and exciting friends, and take us
places we literally never thought we would
be. Blessings abound!
After once again traveling to all three
regionals, working that gate, seeing and
talking with so many people I came home
with the realization that YES, the power
of positivity is working. I saw happy
people, I saw helping people, I saw caring
people, I saw working people, I saw horses
excellently bred and groomed and trained,
I saw people rejoicing in the wins of each
other as well as their own. I saw new faces
that are just starting with us, and most
importantly being embraced and welcomed
with open arms and caring hearts. I saw a
community with a very cohesive bond that
few fancies can boast of possessing. I was
very proud of “us”.
I saw amateurs excelling in open classes
(something that has been missing in recent
years), I saw trainers reaching out to help

their peers, clients, and competition. I saw
youth performing at levels of excellence that
was amazing.
As a bonus, I saw ALL three regionals with
an increase in horses, ALL three regionals
with a considerable increase in entries, ALL
three regionals with a renewed excitement
about who and what we are.
I am busily doing my part in preparing
to make the upcoming World show be
ALL that it can be! The new arena, new
stalling, new layout, new, new, new……Will
everything be perfect? We can hope, but
the reality is whether it is or not, we will all
be working to make it be a great experience
for “our people”. As you approach the
new venue, please carry an open mind, soft
tongue, and helpful hands. Ask questions
and jump in, as this is a team effort. We
are all in this together wanting the best
that best can be. You have aptly proven
the power of a positive mind, so I come to
you and say THANK YOU, CONGRATS,
and let’s keep the ball rolling! We have a
GREAT World show just ready and waiting
to take off and fly, and we want you all to be
a part of it in your own way.
Please keep all of our people in your prayers
as they travel with their precious cargo.
FEATURING THE
NEW LEVER ACTION
PADDLE SWITCH
The paddle has a safety tab that is manually depressed to turn the tool on,
when released the tool turns off, the safety tab repositions itself,
keeping the tool from turning on again until you are ready to work.
