Hi to all and nice to meet you.
My husband and I have two ranches in eastern WA. One is for sale right now but I may decide to hang on to it for a while longer, like I need one more thing to do, lol. I still work full time on the coast but hubby is semi retired--lucky guy! He still farms using the team once in awhile and it's fun to see them work the fields. The main homestead is a 120 acre ranch and we have 15 horses from minis to drafts. My favorite riding horse is my Kentucky Mountain mare. I'm old and she's gaited so it's a perfect combo : ) We are building a new home and are planning to do off grid living. I've been in horses for over 50 years so it's been my life-long passion. I'm relatively new to minis and have only had them for 15 years but am aware of some of their quirks. Always so much more to learn from you all and I have always enjoyed reading this forum.
Our menagerie includes llama, alpaca, sheep, ducks, chickens, a couple of cats and dogs in addition to our herd which keeps us very busy. I especially love the minis and our latest addition is Harli who is the little mare on my profile. Unfortunately, she lost her foal the day after we brought her home her last week so if/when we decide to have her bred again this year, I want to ensure she is in excellent health and feeling good again before we do. She was under nourished and the colt was born premature so I wasn't too hopeful that she would be able to carry full term after I got her home. She is a great little girl though and has already got us under her spell.
She is AMHR and I would like to find a good stallion around my area (Colville, WA). I plan on training her to the cart and perhaps do a bit of showing for fun as well. If anyone could recommend a breeder close by, I'd appreciate it. She has produced some nice foals but her previous owner had to sell out due to a major health crisis. I wish I'd been able to find her sooner so we could have tried to prevent the loss. I would have really loved seeing the little guy frisking around the pasture later this spring.
