MiLo Minis
Well-Known Member
Hi I am not really new to the Forum. I have been reading replies for quite some time before becoming a member - "lurking" I guess! I've noticed that people introduce themselves when first coming on and I never did that so I thought I would take the opportunity to introduce myself.
My name is Lori. I own MiLo Acres Miniature Horses which consists of around 20 minis give or take a few at any given moment! We raise mostly AMHR horses although several are double registered and a couple are WCMHR as well. I breed for driving and halter quality horses - everyone here over the age of 2 drives! We are located in Ontario, Canada just south of Hamilton.
I got my first mini 15 years ago, a weanling stallion purchased at an auction because he was just so darn cute! Having shown full size horses all my life he was a novelty. Well, I fell in love and the minis have grown while the large horses have dwindled. We are down to one Paint mare and a Hackney gelding that both drive. I lost my 32 year old Quarterhorse mare just a year ago, had her since she was a youngster and miss her terribly.
I have given up my amateur status this year as there are just too darn many people out there that need help with driving - both their horses and themselves. I am a stay at home mom although I work part time for Jim Muir Training Stable. My 4 year old daughter, Mickey, has come to work with me since she was born.
I am a director of the MHCO as of this year after having been a member for the last couple years. We show the MHCO shows as well as the AMHR shows and the Fall Fairs in our area. This year was our first venture to the Nationals in Tulsa which was quite an experience!
Well thats me in a nutshell and now I feel like I have done things properly! Hello to everyone!
PS That is my Mack in the avatar whom I adore! I bought him as a weanling from Getitia and he did really well for me in the show ring this past year. I have just started him ground driving and he will be hitched in the spring. He will be standing at stud on my farm this spring and I am looking forward to some wonderful colour from him!
