Hello everyone. We are new here to this forum. We are Michael and Mary Collings from Texas.We have only been in Miniature Horses for a year and a half, but we've fallen head over heels in love with these wonderful little horses.[/COLOR] We have raised and shown dogs for many years, but our adventure into miniature horses is a new and rewarding one. We have met so many absolutely wonderful and talented people in the world of minis, and we treasure our relationships with them. The foundation for our breeding program was to get the very best mares we could afford, and then buy or breed to some of the best stallions available. We believe lovely mares are the cornerstone of a sound program, and when you have a stallion who can put his mark on a foal, what could be better! Please visit with us on our website and see our minis. www.aristocraticminiatures.com Hope to meet all of you soon.

Hey Michael and Mary! As everybody else has said you have yourself some extremely nice horses and quite the show line up. I saw your Jr. Mare, Froggy at Worlds and she is absolutely stunning and absolutely deserved the World Grand Jr. Mare title. I believe i briefly met Michael at Worlds this year when you came to pick up your Prince colt which is a maternal brother to my stallion, Aloha Acres California Dreamin which went World Champion. Welcome and i hope to see you again at some shows this year.

Welcome to the forum, we are so glad you joined!!!! This is a great group of people and always more than helpful!

Thanks again to all who have welcomed us from all over. Thanks for your comments on our horses and our "Froggy" AKA Alliance Mademoiselle. We are extremely fortunate to own her.

This seems like a friendly forum and a place to learn from other mini owners.

Brenda-Yes, Michael is a bit of a clown and a joker. He makes me laugh all the time. Sometimes I don't know if it is his dry British humor or his slapstick humor, but he makes me laugh.

Andromeda Farm - Glad to hear you have a daughter of YP Branch Star of Africa. Bet she is a lovely mare.

Aubrey - Congratulations on your California Dreamin' who went World Champion. We hope to show his brother this year.

We hope that we will be able to meet many of you in person and put together farm names and faces.
