I am new to minis and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Stacy and I am the proud new owner of a little yearling colt. I'm going to meet and purchase him on Sunday and it can't get here fast enough.
He already has a few points in halter and color, and I'm hoping to take him further. Being new to showing too, it ought to be an interesting journey
Luckily I have a great mentor who is willing to help us along the way.
That Finale of yours is a stunning little guy, congratulations! Please post more pics after he's home and settled, would love to see more of him. Hope the next couple days fly right on by for you!
what a lovely looking little guy! Good luck to you with him, but be careful! Miniatures are addicting. Before you know it, you'll have two, then three, then five or six!
Well...one of the mares fell through, the owner decided he couldn't part with her. I'm okay with that, he is a super nice guy!!!
I'm still seriously considering the other one. She was really sweet.
And I met my little colt tonight and we hit it off GREAT!!! My camera batteries died after only two pictures. The first me and "Finale" both look weird and the second was really dark =/ Oh well LOL
Thanks for the compliment!! He will be a a larger B sized mini (one of the reasons I'm gelding him.) He's around 8hh or 8.1 I think but will find out for sure tomorrow. I'll probably be posting a ton more pictures too lol
I love your mini. I am not very knowledgable about minis, but I know what I like. I DO like the minis that actually look like small horses...refined with well proportioned legs, bellys, head etc.
I see way too much effort on size with the resulting stumpy legged, pot bellied and bulging faced minis. Not dwarfed, but dang close, by all appearances.
I am careful to stay away from them, as I would not be able to stop at one, either.
Thank you Allison!
His looks were what attracted me to him. I wasn't even looking for a mini, but a horse I could ride. I just fell in love with him. I couldn't believe he was a mini! He already has points in color and halter and going to be showing him again in about 2 weeks (so excited!)
I'm going to start teaching him to drive and do obstacles as well to keep him heathy and active
Thanks for your kind words about him =)
Of course I'd love to share some pictures ;-) These are a couple I took with my camera. My camera isn't very good, plus he was doing "mule ears" LOL He is stubborn about putting his ears forward, so these are the ONLY two I got that his ears are somewhat forward haha.. The professional pictures should be up in a few days and I'll post them on here when I get them!
