I just added several used show halters to the Little Horse Barn fundraiser site! Here is the link....please check it out, as all proceeds will go to Bill & Wanalynn Chapman to aid in their recovery efforts! THANK YOU...

Just came across this old thread regarding Barbara Naviaux's wonderful book "Miniature Horses". I have this very book up on the "Little Horse Barn" auction site with approx 2 days left until the end of the auction. Ir is listed in the "Fundraiser for Bill and Wannalyn Chapman" section. I...

Will be adding LOTS more as I go through all my things, categorize them, and take photos. I have accumulated a lot more "stuff" than I realized in my 23 years of raising Miniatures, so am going to be doing this little by little. THANKS! and remember all proceeds will be going to Bill and...

Most of you who know me...know that I dispersed the last of my Miniatures a year ago. It was a very hard thing to do...but I knew it was for the best. However...I still have not done anything with all my mini equipment. It is still stored in the barn in tubs. It dawned on me that this would...

She does not look bay at all, to me. She "could" have Sabino roaning going on, which would explain the lighter hairs in her tail & forelock. But, since she is obviously carrying Appy....the varnish gene can cause a lot of roaning as well. Without knowing the colors of her sire & dam, it's...

It looks GREAT Jane! Your friend did a wonderful job. I love your babies....especially the little leopard App filly!

I agree.....this is a VERY disturbing trend, and I abhor it! But sadly, it is not new, even to the Miniature Breed. I saw this done many times, just to get photos, or before a class when I first started showing back in the early 90s. Of course, I never saw the "deed" actually done....but I...

Got a voicemail the other evening from a gal who said she saw my ad & wanted to talk to me about the Eastern Championship Show. (I had posted an ad for some horses I had for sale, and mentioned that I could transport to that show) So….I assumed she was interested in my horses, right? I...

My guess is that your pretty little girl is a Black Sabino Tovero....and most likely carries LW. As you know, I once owned her 1/2 brother (same dam) "LTDs Moonstruck" and she looks just like him. He tested out to be black/sabino/LWO. AND.....I noticed your little girl has a very small dark...

I'm afraid your only option is to keep her out of the sun. :-(

I shipped two to Australia a few years ago, and it was extremely expensive....$10,000 per horse! Australia has stiffer regulations than other countries (unless it has changed since then) and there weren't many exporters who would do it. The one my client used was a very reputable exporter who...

You were her guardian angel when you rescued her. I hope you take comfort in knowing you gave her a very good life until the end. ((((hugs))))

OMG....he is stunning! Fancy movement, great conformation, gorgeous color...and all in a tiny 30" package! What more could you ask for????

Gorgeous babies! CONGRATULATIONS!

Thank you ALL for your very kind comments. I have SO enjoyed raising these little treasures, & have made some of my best friends through my Miniatures. I have learned.....and I'm still learning so much, through this wonderful site that MaryLou has so graciously provided, and will continue to...
