How points were calculated For those classes that you had one horse one handler.....Ii took each handler with that horse and wrote them down. I went through all of the classes that were listed for the awards.....points system: First place got 6 points, Second place got 5 points, Third place got 4 points, Fourth place got 3 points, Fifth place got 2 points and Sixth got one point. Each judge placing is how points were given....example....Judge A you got a First place....6 points....Judge B gave you 4th place.....3 points and Judge C gave you a Second.....total points That class would have been....14 points total. Went through all of the classes, wrote every horse/handler combination and each horse/handler combination got their points. There were  bunch of classes where there were different horses for a handler.   For the high point horse...again wrote down each horse and went through all of those classes that were listed and wrote down all of the points that horse earned....also most of those performance classes that were listed had no participation. Amateur and Youth High point was one horse one handler...again, if a youth or amateur showed more than one horse, then I wrote down their name with one horse, their name with another horse and each horse/handler combination was given their points....not added all together.

Club Members busy promoting the versatility of the Miniature Horse: A couple of ODMHC club members have recently added another item to the list of answers to that old chestnut: What do you do with a Miniature Horse? Nancy Wheeler and Judy Rennyson both from Culpeper VA have successfully completed the course work and evaluations to become Delta Society Pet Partners Therapy Teams with their miniature horses. Nancy’s organization, Cavallini di Amore*(Love of Little Horses), had two additional group members meet the qualifications as well. We have many therapy dates on the calendar for the summer and are looking forward to watching the minis work their magic. Nancy’s farm, Brandy Manor, is also a sanctuary and shelter for miniature horses who have come upon hard times in one way or another. These horses are cared for, seen by vet and farrier, and trained with the goal that they will eventually be fostered, adopted or used in the youth or therapy program at the farm. * Cavallini di Amore is a non-profit tax-exempt organization 501c3, registered in the state of Virginia, running entirely on contributions, program fees and donations. Its owners, directors and volunteers work without compensation.

Back To Top Jan 2014 Club Meeting Update: Thanks to all that attended the meeting Sunday the 5th. It was a good turnout even know the weather was a little unpredictable. We are working hard to get the meeting minutes put together to make available for everyone and will post them here when they are ready. Meeting minutes are now available click here for word and here for pdf format. But one of the major things discused in the meeting was the cost of showing at the Summer Sizzle. We will be crunching some numbers over the next couple days to see if we can lower the costs to help make it more affordable for everyone to show at the Spring Thaw Show May 2, 3, and 4 2014.

Another benefit of being a member of The Old Dominion Miniature Horse Club Ever wonder if you could afford advertising your farm for a whole year in the premier trade magazines for miniature horses, AMHA’s Miniature Horse World or AMHR’s The Journal? Well by being a member of the ODMHC and the power in numbers, you can be part of a half page add in both magazine for $180 a year that’s only $15.00 a month. That gets your Farm name, member names, city, state, zip, phone number and website address in all 6 issues of both magazines. WOW what a deal. Not only will it promote your farm and help prospective customers looking for minis in your area find you, it will also promote ODMHC and its goals and help drive membership for the club. As we all know in tough times usually advertising is the last thing on our minds but in reality it should be the first thing. If you stop advertising you will discount any new clients that your ad my generate or refresh memories of existing clients. If $180 is just out of the question what about $110 or $70? Again the power of numbers come into play. If you prefer to advertise in only one or the other of the magazines you can be part of the same half page add in AMHA for less than $10 a month ($110 year) or AMHR for less than $6.00 month ($70 year). So by skipping a Star Bucks run or a McDonalds run every once and awhile you could put your farm name out for all to see for a whole year. Ads are submitted to the magazines about 6 to 8 weeks in advance.  You can pay for your ads in two ways, half of the year total, AMHA is $55.00, AMHR is $35.00 or both for $90.00 or the whole year all at once AMHA $110, AMHR $70 or both for $180 Please email us if you would be interested.
