Someone directed me to this site. There are two registered and bred mares for sale on it within my price range. I wanted to see what you guys think of them quality wise? Its kind of hard to tell since they have their 'winter underwear' and have baby bellies. http://midnightmini.googlepages.com/

Do you want a baby or something bred/breeding age? I would prefer a breedable or a bred mare but I also wouldn't mind a young filly. Are associations going to be important to you? (AMHR, AMHA, ASPC or some combination) If I raise show quality Miniature Horses, then yes, but if I just decide...

What a beauty! I love both her color and her eyes.

I have contacted Timberview Miniature Appaloosas and I am now waiting to hear back from them. In my opinion their horses are beautiful in both conformation and coloration. I would love to buy a filly from them this year and see if maybe we can make a deal payment wise. And I have actually been...

Here is another Iowa breeder - http://www.acesminis.homestead.com/

Breeders are willing to take payment plans on their horses? If so that would change everything, because I thought for sure that you would have to pay full price at the purchase of the horse. Here is one breeder that is only a hour or two drive from us -...

How much would a nice quality filly cost? Either as a young filly or as a breedable or bred mare? I'm open to changing my mind and aim towards the quality, even if its just one vs. two. I do see the points that you guys are making. Breeders are willing to take payments? If so then that might...

I have been doing research on them and I am most certain that I do want to raise Miniature Horses. I'm not looking to make a profit on them, maybe just break even in the long run. I guess that at this point show quality isn't as important to me. I do want to raise quality miniatures in the...

I see your point. I fear however that I couldn't afford to buy one show quality filly, much less two. Not when the going prices are $1000.00 at the lowest and more commonly in the $2000.00 range. At least not at the moment that is. My plan was to start off with one or two non show quality mares...

Congratulations! She is beautiful.

I know that show quality Miniature Horses are anywhere between $1000.00 to $2500.00 and upwards, but what about pet quality Miniature Horses? What are their going prices? B quality I suppose you call them. I have been reading through the threads here on Lil Beginnings as well as doing some...

Does anyone know of any Iowa Miniature Horse rescues or Adoptions?

I want a miniature horse as a pet right now but if its a filly or mare I might want to breed her in the years to come. I would probably keep the foal as another pet though for myself rather then sell it.

Sorry to be confusing. By lower quality I mean that the quality isn't what you see in the show rings yet the horses are still nice animals with decent conformation. Poor quality I see as animals with under bites, or other big faults that are at risk of passing onto their foals. And I didn't...

They are all wonderful little babies. Congratulations.
