New on The forum / How to get to know others

[Relic]

Hi we're over in the west but have sold a number of minis down your way in the past few years. We started with one as a xmas gift for the family 25 years ago while l was a stay at home mom now we have over 30 mares and 10 stallions but am a stay at home empty nester these days. We got booted out of our 12 acre place in a subdivision so moved to a quarter section just to keep the horses. Gotta love those horses. :lol:

Hi Rebel! Welcome to the Forum...a good place to be. and I have to thank you for starting this because I am finding out interesting things about people that I didn't know before.

:

Frank and I are right in the middle of the US....Oklahoma City, OK. We've been 'in horses' all our adult lives and started our mini farm in '91. we breed and show and HAVE FUN!

I'm sitting here right now watching Spring who is getting close to foaling.....I think....she'll make a liar out of me what do you bet.

: I figure she'll wait till Frank gets on the plane to FL for the AMHA meeting...THEN she'll foal! :bgrin

there's a link to our web site in my signature. Please stop in for a visit. I'm going to go visit yours before I go back out and finish cleaning stalls.

Here's a pic of Frank and Colors last year.

p.s. WOW! What a BEAUTIFUL picture of beautiful little horses!

I'm here, in beautiful Wisconsin, our farm sits on top of a 500 ft bluff that over looks the Mississippi River. I used to raise big horses and rode alot, now I have the little horses and like to drive. I just ordered a gold and green harness, you know, Packer colors! I was up to 48 mares last fall, I don't even know how that happened, talk about an addiction! Now I'm down to 25 mares and feel good about it. I love my minis donkeys too. It's nice to meet new people on the forum, great thread!

Hi, Welcome everyone from South Central Montana...the Big Sky Country! Lots of blue skies, praries and nearby mountains.....not crowded {yet} and very peaceful living. My hubby and I are retired and enjoy our minis. We belong to the Big Sky Harness Club and hubby really enjoys training for harness. We only have 6 minis but this way each gets their individual attention. We love the Bukeroo and Rowdy lines with good conformation, intelligence and trainability. My favorite mini is pictued below. Only shows his beautiful neck and head because it has been too cold to do a full clip. Mary

[susanne]

Hello and welcome to the forum! I'm susanne (duhh...silly me). Keith and I live in Scappoose, Oregon, with three minis, four dogs and three cats. We're part of the Hwy 30 contingent...there are quite a few minis and mini owners in this neck of the woods.

We adopted our first mini, Mingus (named after jazz bassist, Charles Mingus) from a rescue group, and soon Thelonius (named for Thelonius Monk) and Pastorius (Jaco Pastorius) soon followed. I'm always telling stories about these guys, so you'll soon know more about them than you ever wanted to know!

Here are our boys:

Thelonius

Pastorius (aka Flash)

Mingus

Hello there from Sunny Southern California! I joined the mini world almost 10 years ago and from what I can tell, Susan O. was the first person I contacted regarding minis!

I currently have 6 minis, with baby-on-the-way (Poppy in avatar)

Below is the love of my life - my 8 year old gelding Cody, who I would not have been able to deliver without the knowledge that I learned from this forum (8 years ago!)

Cody and his sister Gracie:

Here's me and Cody (under hosscrazy)

Wow, Mary, Apache is looking really good. Can't wait to see him clipped this spring.

:aktion033:

I've tried twice now to make a seperate post, but the darn computer keeps putting my two posts together, so...

Welcome from frozen NE Montana. I live on a ranch with my husband and we raise beef cattle, have several saddle horses for working cows and pleasure; and now for about a year minis. I bought Dakota, about this time last year, he is my first mini, picture in my avatar. I've since added 3 mini fillies; I'm picking up the third filly tomorrow. :bgrin

Feel free to check out my website. I plan to move it soon, it's currently on my ISPs website and I'm not happy with what I get from them. Oh, and the home page link doesn't work, once you are on the site, but the links to all the other pages work just fine. :bgrin

Welcome Rebel :saludando: .....and I love your pictures!

:

We live in Southwestern Ohio & have been involved with Miniatures since 1989. Just have a small farm where we breed, raise & show a few each year. Specializing in Overo/Toveros now & like to keep them as small as we can without losing conformation. Our adults range from 28" to 32" and are double registered AMHA/AMHR. We also enjoy sharing our Minis with others at events, parades & nursing homes & schools.

Here I am showing one of our babies a couple years ago.

And here are a couple of pictures of some of our minis in the pasture.

Hi Mary. Welcome to the Forum!

I've been a member here for about seven years already! Wow! And hardly a day goes by that I don't check and see what's going on here.

Like Amelia, I hope you'll join the MHCO, too. It's a great group of people and you'll have tons of fun and learn a lot, too. If you visit the website, www.mhco.ca, you'll get a good idea of what we're all about.

Looking forward to seeing you at the shows this year!
