Overview

-MINIATURE HORSES RULE THE WORLD- is my book on the world of miniature horses. My family and I have had three different farms in New York. We still have two farms at this time-one in Orange County, NY and one Upstate, NY. We have many miniature horses and have had them since I was about 14 years old. We got our first three miniature then and they increased to over 20 mini's at certain times. These miniatures were raised for show horses although, we also had them as pets and sold them over the years. I grew-up my whole life around animals but especially with horses. At the age of four...I went around my house at night with a small tin bucket. I asked my family of only three at that time to please give funds to me to buy a horse. SO, by the age of seven my parents finally gave in and surprised me on my birthday with a shetland pony. Well, that was it this family was off and running with horses in our lives. My shetland pony was soon out grown by me. His name was STAR and we'd give neighborhood kids rides on him plus with the horse cart. This pony would run away from home. The neighbors would call us and let us know he was at their house. As a kid I thought this was pretty funny. Eventually my parents got me SAMANTHA which was a smaller sized black horse with a white star on her forehead. I had her for many years. Although, I loved to ride BLAZE my father's huge/tall red arabian. I love the excitement of him galloping through the fields. As Samantha was getting a bit too small and wasn't nearly as much fun. So, as years went by we had horse after horse after horse. After we moved to Orange County we still had Blaze and Samantha also a cow or too (to eat-yuck! I like meat but not one that I watched grow-up...Poor Blossom). Anyway-we then got into the miniature horses. It was fun to see them interact with their larger counterparts. The biggest misconception with miniature horses which annoys my children to hear...people tend to always call them Ponies. Miniature horses are bred down horses from a standard sized horse. They were bred down for many, many and many more years to come to know what we all love-the miniature horse. My book contains the history of the miniature horse. It also contains information relating to the care, exercise, grooming, breeding, pregnancy, Vet needs, sales, stalling and trailers you may need plus much, much more related to these awesome horses. This book is laid out in simple to read language with color coded words and information important to know. This is a great reference book, a beginner's book or a refresher book. It makes a great gift idea for anyone with the love for these horses or for a child. A child would enjoy it especially with all the wonderfully laid out pictures. A must-read for all types of Horse-Lovers out there: )
