 The
Kansas Miniature Horse Club (KMHC) is made up of
men, women, and young people who all have a mutual
love of Miniature Horses. Our club was formed in the
Fall of 1989 as the first Kansas club for Miniature
Horse enthusiasts. Many of the founding members are
still actively involved with Miniature Horses and
with the club.
Our membership is as diverse as it is large. One
of our founding members,
 Mr.
Orville Suddarth, was fondly known throughout the
National level show circuit as "Mr. Amateur." He had
outstanding success in winning National level titles
as an amateur when competing against professionals.
Although we are not a show club, we can boast of
quite a few members who showed at the National level
and consistently won year after year. These people
give freely of their expertise to KMHC sponsored
clinics and Fun Shows as instructors and judges.
They are especially gracious in helping the
newcomers and the children.
 Other
members get great pleasure from participating with
their horses on a local level in parades, 4-H,
County Fairs and tours of nursing homes, schools, and libraries.
Some of our members had never owned a horse while
others grew up on horseback. Our farms range in size
from one acre to large working ranches, and our
herds number anywhere from one horse to over 150
head.
We are truly a club that welcomes all new members
regardless of their interests or level of
experience! |
