About Our Farm! In 2007, we changed our breeding program from Tennessee Walkers to Miniature Horses. It was hard to let our Walkers go, but we felt our time, space, and interests are better suited by Miniature Horses. We have been very pleased with our Miniature horses, and only wish we had gotten Miniatures sooner! For anyone not familiar with Miniature horses, we have found them to be generally easier going, friendlier, and less spooky than big horses. They are just a real pleasure to be around. Our mares are bred to three stallions for 2010-Arions Magnum PI, a pintaloosa stallion we recently sold, our leopard appaloosa stallion Mtn Springs Buckeroo Spotted Dandy, and our overo stallion LBJs Dandy Straight Aces. Watch for foals available this year!
Having learned alot while breeding the Tennessee Walkers, we felt it was important to have goals in mind while choosing breeding stock in our Miniatures. We had these goals in mind for the Minis: first of all, temperment! Our children enjoy helping with the horses, so no nasty temperments will be tolerated! Next we wanted good correct conformation, with no bite or leg problems sometimes seen in Minis. Our size goal is the 30" to 32" range, we were a bit afraid of getting mares smaller than that for fear of foaling issues, but we are trying to be sure our future foals will stay under 34" so they wont go over the AMHA height limit. As far as pedigree, we know its not the most important, but we do have several nice bloodlines in our herd, including Orion Light Vant Huttenest, Toyland Zodiac, Gold Melody Boy, Yellow Diamond Little Feather, Rowdy, Lazy Ns Boogerman, and Buckeroo just to name a few. And last but not least, we love color! Having a leopard Appaloosa and overo stallions, we are hoping for colorful foals from our colorful mares.
Besides our horses, our interests include homeschooling, improving our farm, and our other animals-pygmy goats, dogs, and cats.
We hope you enjoy your visit to the site, please come back often as I will be adding much more pictures and info as we add more miniatures to the herd!
