Well I got my first pony when I was 3, she was a welsh cross, that was in 1981, then in 1991 when I was 13 I got my 1st arabian, have been breeding Arabians since 1993. In 2003 I got my 1st mini, a gelding and now I am 27 and have 8 in total with 4 foals due in 2006. I only have one arabian now. In 2003 I had 6 arabians and one mini. I also own a shetland mare. I hope to buy some more mini mares in the future when i find some nice ones. My mares and stallion are well bred with lines to Hobby Horse, Dell Teras, Bond, Rowdy, Rhotens, Stouts, and Vant Huttenest to name just a few.
