Well this is my first entry and I dont even know where to start.  Guess Ill start at the beginning.  Four and a half years ago my family and i finally got our dream farm.   Originally I wanted to own riding horses again as I grew up riding horses.   After alot of thought though i decided my almost 40 year old butt didnt need to be on a 1200 lb animal.  40 year old bones just dont bounce like 14 year bones.   I ran across an article on the internet about miniature horses.  I was so intrigued and my husband thought I had lost my mind.  I researched for months.  It just felt "right" 

I bought my first miniature horse and 5 days before we were supposed to pick her up (a mare in foal) our barn burned to the ground.   We made a makeshift spot for her in the corn crib and went and got her.   She gave us our first miniature horse foal that we named Baxters Tiny Rocket Dancer.    I feel immediately in love.   Tiny got off to a rough start (she was a fainting foal) but is now 3 years old and so beautiful she takes my breath away.   We have shown her since she was a yearling and she always gets the ribbon even being shown by someone new like me.   She is pictured here as a foal. 

Now its 3.5 years later.  We now own 9 miniature horses and 3 shetland/mini horses.  We also have our beloved border collies that we have occassional litters out of.  And i cant leave out Frannie.  The worlds ugliest Llama im sure but we love her :)  she has a horrible bite but people are just fascinated when they come here just watching her.   They have a very odd way of moving.
