Hello! My name is Kathy and I live in Wisconsin. New to Mini Forum

[smallpackages]

Hello All,

I just joined this forum so I can learn as much as possible. I do not currently own a mini but am on the hunt. I own a beautiful AQHA that I show Western Pleasure. However, I want to get involved with Therapy thus the search for my first mini. I know horses and I know these little packages are just smaller versions of a horse and require the same type of respect and manners. I love doing ground work and other fun still with my horse. If anyone knows of a nice mini under 30" that would be suitable for this type of work, please let me know. I do not plan on breeding or showing. Anyways, lots of info on here and I look forward to this next adventure in my equine world!!!

Kathy

Hello from Southern Illinois!

This is a great place to learn and ask questions. A few pointers if I may...never worm a mini with Quest, they take far less feed than a big horse(they are easy to over feed), it is hard to have just one. They are just wonderful little equines!!!!

Good luck in your search for the perfect lil partner. Take your time and you will be rewarded tenfold. You may try looking into Miniature horse rescues, there are many in need of a loving home.

Hi Kathy

If I can help, drop me an email.

We are always happy to "talk" minis and answer questions if we can.

Thank you all so much for a warm welcome. I love that..much better then my WP forum which seems to always be arguing about something or other, and I am so over it!!! Infact, I doubt I'll even show this year, and just let my horse have some fun out on the trails!! I am providing my email address and I hope that isn't against any forum rules, should anyone come across a mini for sale that might fit what I am looking for. I have checked most local rescues but most of the minis are too big for therapy work. Anyways, thanks again. [email protected].

Hi and welcome to the wonderful world of minis! This forum is awesome, some of the nicest forum members around.

Have you tried the sales board portion of the forum? You can open an account and place an ad on there, many forum members do scan that on a regular basis. It's one of those routines that go with our morning coffee

Hi from far north Illinois near the Wisconsin stateline! I hope this is OK to post-but if you are close enough or want to travel for a great day or weekend-try the Midwest Horse Fair at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin on April 19-21st of this year. It is a huge and great event. There will be many minis represented and several demos. I great place to look and learn! We do all kinds of things with our minis and enjoy them hugely!

Welcome, don't know where you are located but we are 40 miles north of Milwaukee. There are 2 miniature horse clubs in Wisconsin. The NE Wisconsin miniature that has 2 AMHR rated shows located near Pulaski (northwest of Green Bay) and the SE Wisconsin Miniature that has an open show, a club fun show, and goes to parades and meets around Manitowoc/Sheboygan. Their website is www.sewmec.com You might want to give it a look for horses for sale.

I also happend to have one for sale. He is 31.5" and very laid back but would be more for showing as he drives too.

If you want to talk horses, I love to visit. Contact me thru our website below.
