[REO]

For the $3 donated for the story.......(thank you donator!)

As I was into big horses and had big horses all my life, I got the magazines, like Horse & Rider, Western Horseman etc. In the back of one I saw that photo of a mini foal standing on a man's hands. I looked into it and found some minis in TX. Paid a large amount for a breeding pair, not knowing anything about minis. The filly went over size within months of getting her (she aborted every foal for years after she was bred at Breeding age) and the stallion never dropped, so we had to buy another stallion. Bought the 2nd stallion from the same place and was shocked to see he had a bad bite, which the seller never told us. Needless to say, I never bought from her again and after years of having them, I sold them as pets. I won't say their names because I don't believe in hurting others and it was MANY years ago.

Come June, will mark our 20th year in minis. I've learned a lot, made many great friends! And I've done all I can to help others along the way to not make the same mistakes I made in the beginning

 

[Frankie]

This is such a great way for so many to help, and all you need do is type!! Thanks REO for sharing your story and for all you share!!

Surprise buckets go through Thursday, $3 Story until Friday!!

Here's my $3 story

My husband of 27 years and I are both retired US Air Force. We retired to Kentucky, where hubby Mike is from in 2001. I always wanted and loved horses as a girl, but never got the chance to have one until we moved to Kentucky. We only have a ½ acre plot 1/4 of which is hill that can’t be used, and the family farm is down the road a bit, so I didn’t expect to ever get my childhood pony. Until…

June 2004- We saw an add in the paper for a 14 month old gray (silver dapple) mini filly! Mike talked me into going and seeing it, and the rest is mini history! Of course I fell in love at first sight and we went home and started building a stall and putting up fence! 2 weeks later we brought Jelly Bean (nee Mini Meadows Gypsy Delight, AMHR) home.

We played, primped and learned tricks together for 3 years. She and the LB forum have taught me so much about horses!

In March 2007 we decided to get Jelly Bean a horse friend. I have stayed friends with the lady we got JB from and had seen a little sad little appy mare there that I wanted. I talked her into selling and after another round of furiously adding onto JBs stall, we brought Lexy (nee Midnight Lexus, AMHR) home. The two hit it off right away and have been best buds since.

Last November we added an adorable little mini molly mule to the family. We call her CoCo Puff. She sure lives up to her name J she is very round and sweet although still very shy.

Here is my $3 story:

My son who was 7 years old at the time wanted to learn to drive horses instead of ride them. I had seen minis before and thought they were really cute so we did research on the breed and after looking at many ads, sending many emails and phone calls and visiting farms we decided on Cornerstone's Lil Peek A Boo. He was a 3 year old gelding. When we met him he was so patient with my son and was content to be led all over the place. Nick got running with him and tripped and fell. Peek just stopped beside him and looked at him like "you getting up or what"" It was decided Peek was our new horse. He has been a pleasure to have in our family.

This is my favourite picture of Nick and Peek
