We have been breeding and raising registered miniature horses since 2003 when we bought our first ones. I have owned big horses all my life, bred, trained, and successfully shown Palomino Quarter Horses. As I got older and the big foals harder for me to handle and train on my own, I decided to switch over to miniatures. My past experience with the big horses helped me to develop an eye for a quality miniature. We started with minis from one of the leading miniature farms in the southeast. We currently have one stallion and seven broodmares most of which are double registered from excellent, proven bloodlines and all have great dispositions. Some are retired show horses, one produced a reserve world champion halter filly who later became a champion driving mare. One is the daughter of a three times top ten driving stallion in the nation in both breed registries. Disposition and quality is our goal.
We have been raising goats since 1999 and started with Pygmies. We bought our first purebred Nigerians in 2012 and fell in love with the breed. One doe has had five kids at a time on two occasions and four several years in a row. She is also a sweetheart and although pretty wild when we got her at age four, turned into one of the sweetest of the herd. December 2015 we bought our first two registered Nigerians and in 2016 bought our first double registered Nigerian buck. We are moving towards an all registered herd from top quality milk lines. We increased our herd to a total of 30 but are now reducing the numbers to less than 20. We have phased out the Pygmies and horned goats. We like the colors of the Nigerians, the blue eyes and some are polled. We are also finding more customers are wanting a back yard milk goat. Plus the Nigerians make excellent pets and are very kind. We treat all of our goats as pets.
