A few of my show horses and one of the foals. Goat kids are cute, but that have some competition from a baby miniature horse!

Wow! Such beautiful minis! They are so sleek and shiny! And that foal is adorable!

 

[Jubillee]

So gorgeous!! I totally want more mini ponies, I love little horses!

 

[Morning Star Farm]

Thank you @KY Goat Girl ! I love them. They aren't so slick right now, lol. Very fluffy in their winter coats!
She is really cute! And even sweeter. She's a yearling now and should be leaving for her new home soon.

@Jubillee They are addictive! If you ever decide to get more, let me know! I usually either have some or know of some available down here.

 

[DDFN]

They are addictive. I have 2 now and when the big horses pass away (hopefully a long time from now) I will get a few more. I love my minis! So do you have mares and gelding or a stud?

 

[KY Goat Girl]

I think they are just stinkin’ adorable in their fluffy winter coats. Not just ponies, cows, horses, and goats too.

My Florida imported filly has ended up with a fluffier winter coat than my other horses. Lol now I have to wait to transfer her papers to get good pictures of her without her winter coat.

I most definitely will. I have to convince my husband since they dont really have a purpose haha. But they are so stinking cute.

 

[Morning Star Farm]

@DDFN You definitely need more! Lol, I've always been a bad enabler, with goats and horses! I have 7 minis now! 3 mares, 3 show geldings and the red chestnut is my stallion.
I had to laugh at the imported from Florida!! Sounds like a different country😂
For the transfer, winter coat pictures don't matter. They won't be put on her papers. The only time they switch out the pictures is for temp to perm. And actually AMHA doesn't require pictures for transfer anymore and I don't think AMHR ever has.

@KY Goat Girl Winter woollies are cute on any animal!
Here's a picture from our 2022 New Year's photoshoot with my two of my show geldings.

Enable away lol. Ok it's been years since registered a mini lol. Ok they did say they needed pictures for the transfer but it's just temp papers. They filly arrived before the breeder had her papers so I have an email copy to transfer. I want more now but have to wait. One mini stud and the filly and matching set in the saddlebreds lol.

@Jubillee Well they are great lawn mowers!😉Haven't had to mow our yard once since we fenced it and turned the pastured horses out on it. And they don't eat your flowers (like goats!) or tear up your yard like big horses.

 

[Morning Star Farm]

@DDFN As long as she is already registered, you shouldn't need pictures. I just transferred a mare with temp papers in A&R without pictures. AMHA just changed the rule about pictures in the last several months.
Well you've got the start of your own herd! Lol Can always put them together when she grows up and "suddenly" have a foal!

 

[Goatastic43]

They’re gorgeous! So I know absolutely nothing about anything equestrian, but which is your favorite the minis or Shetlands?

 

[Morning Star Farm]

@Goatastic43 Thank you!!
That is a funny question because they are the same! If they are under 38", they are considered miniatures, but they are also registered American Shetlands.

I love the brown and white one! Brown/white paint coloring has been my favorite since I was like 3 years old. My grandma had a horse that color when she was a teen and I’ve always wanted one that color as my first horse since I was little. I got those colors on my first horse but not exactly the pattern. I wanted a paint/pinto but instead got a sorrel with a white stripe. But I loved him.

 

[Morning Star Farm]

@Goatastic43 Lol, They're all either full or part Shetland.

@KY Goat Girl Thank you! He is a great horse.
Awe, I like his coloring too. Do you have any horses now?

 

[KY Goat Girl]

No. I only had my horse for about a year then we had to sell him because we moved. He was a Quarter Horse.

This is Gonzo on his birthday.

 

[Morning Star Farm]

Oh that's too bad! He was beautiful.
I hope you can get horses again one day! They are such wonderful animals.
