[MiniaturePrincess429]

Since I probably won't be able to until I'm 18 I was just wondering what age every one else started

I think it was 1999, and I was 29 (but then, I still am...

). I had big horses first and still have them.

I was one and a half when my grandparents brought home our first three Miniature Horses.

We did a poll on this exact same thing, I think it was about 1 1/2 years ago.

Average age, I believe it was either 45, or 47, when the person first started into Minis. We had a large number respond, and there were 10 people who responded who didn't get started until over 65!!!!!!

Me age 63, hubby was 65! Now were' all of 64 and 66 but had big horses for many years when we were younger. I was a 4-H leader. Maxine

Sometimes it's very hard as we both have health issues, but it makes us appreciate them more and every day is a new chance to marvel at them..

I purchased my first mini's this year and i'm a full 20 years young! But let me tell you, I wasn't prepared for all the unexpected costs, but it was well worth bringing home the dolls!

Well on a purely technical level I guess my first pony at 8 kinda qualified he was only about 38 inches and ornery...

actual miniatures...... we got our first gelding in 1993 I was 24.......I had worked on a pony farm and we had some mini's and very small ponies so I was fairly familiar....we also have had big horses pretty much forever.........

My sis and I got our first minis this year (July). I'm 13 and sis is 8. 'Got into' minis when I was 11, though. It took 2 years to convince dad!! But once he saw Stalker

(Suzi's boyfriend/future hubby) at Bill's (our breeder) place, I think the battle was won. Although dad said our two dogs were the only pets we were going to have, as soon as we drove up to Bill's I remember dad softly cooing something along the lines of 'Ooohhh.........look at them!'

*LOL*!!
