This I understand completely.

Except that Section B are supposed to be lighter riding ponies, and yet you can register their offspring as Section C or D (cob type) if they go oversize, so...

Yeah, long-term they use flufenazine (I know a horse who was stuck in her stall without getting out for a year. They had to use flufenazine when they first started working with her because she'd...

Flufenazine and acepromazine are used in horses.

*snort*

I believe you have developed your very own social rules regarding that particular thread. There had already been non-ponies (cobs) posted.

[edit]

Duh, that's when I have to laugh at my own jokes- when nobody else will laugh at them.

Except my mom, but she has to.

No need for validation- I was simply curious whether it was an issue...

:lol: There's the attitude to have!

I appreciate the need for some to set strict guidelines and rules- but I'm still really curious as to how breeds decide whether they are "horse" or "pony"...

LOL, ours does the same thing! I always think PHEW!

Then I shall call it a fauxny.

But only if it has papers.

What if it is 14.1hh, you know both of the parents, but it was never registered? Then is it a pony?

Shetlands and minis- I've heard mini breeders say they are not breeding ponies, they are breeding miniature horses. However, outside of show shine, you'll find even modern shetlands (and minis) tend...

The rules are kind of arbitrary because they are different for each show. See, you can show that 14.1 morgan, OR that 14.3 morgan, against horses in Dressage. , and both would generally be called...

So if you have a horse that you know is arab x TB, and grows to only 14.2, are you morally obligated to call it a pony unless you get it registered?

I'm not sure where the "you can't call it a...

LOL, well that goes back to the original comment that people claim Sec D is a horse breed rather than a pony breed, LOL! Which is why I asked ;)

"Yes, I guess you can get a horse."

LOL, who decided that?

So breed only matters if you have papers?

SWOON!

Neat baroque stuff and medieval pads here too:

How about a Connemara or Welsh that is over 14.2, though?

It seems to me that you aren't making things less complicated, just drawing arbitrary distinctions (and to me they are arbitrary, because...

I had heard that there is a contract requirement that they not sell to meat buyers, or sell less than a certain percentage at auction, but I can't find a reference now.

But you could make sure...

So there is tons of gray area. It seems to me that that is why people start using the word "hony."

a) A horse that is really small enough to be more suited to a child or very small rider.

b) ...

So we can all agree that scores in the 50s happen (I don't recall the actual percentage, but the shows that I've been to always had many scores in the 50s).

But is it due to ego? Or a desire for...

I've heard of having the seats put on new fabric, for about half the price of new breeches, but never having new seats put on old fabric. I think most of the cost is in the seats for the...

You can turn them in and they'll lose their contract if that's true.

Are you sure they really still have a PMU contract? Because the issue is that a lot of fugly breeders are CALLING themselves...

But there are no breeds that can be called "ponies" regardless of height?

Any bite can become infected with bacteria that can necrotize the tissues and eat a hole. Bites that cause an extreme reaction are just more likely to do so.

If it looks like it's getting a hole...
