Sometimes making the decision to do something different can be the hardest thing in the world to do. One gets quite snug and comfortable in what our plans were supposed to be and we sometimes forget to be practical or efficient. Because of the need to rethink the direction of my breeding program I have decided to sell a few of my miniature horses to make my goals for the future clearer and more focused. And, of course to lighten my physical and financial load some also.

I have dropped my prices drastically to reflect this need, and now is the time to get world class miniatures at average animal prices. These prices are for immediate acceptance and will not be offered for any sustained length of time. Although,  I may consider an additional discount on multiple horses. Live cover on the breeding age mares can be arranged either prior to or in the forthcoming future.

All animals with few exceptions,  will sell up to date for seasonal inoculations, de-worming, and farrier. I will also supply current coggins and health papers if required for transport. Some of them have even been micro chipped for your security and recovery in the event of loss. Due to high vet costs, animals priced under $500.00 will have whatever they need prior to delivery, but those procedures  will be performed at the sellers expense.

The internet is a wonderful thing but it is fraught with deceptions and from time to time, dishonesty does exist. I assure you that is not the case here with me and the way that I insist that I do business. I an extremely reluctant to sell an animal to someone sight unseen. I do not want anyone to feel that I have misrepresented them in any way. It is for this reason that I have to strongly suggest that early in the purchase process, arrangements be made to physically come visit and interact with the animals of your choice. In the end, it doesn't matter much what I think or say, but rather it's what you the potential buyer thinks, that matters in the end.

A certain measure of "tire kicking" is all part of this process also. The ease of emailing a question or response to an ad is simple, easy, and without cost. I would request though that if all you are interested in is kicking tires, that you go kick them elsewhere. I must insist that you value my time with the same consideration that I value yours. I have spent literally 100's of hours taking additional pictures, answering questions, and just trying to get the job done to have the potential "buyer" all but just disappear into a puff of smoke and never to be seen again. Or, as is was the case a few times, years later reappear asking for the same exact info that they were given once before.

So, please accept my apologies if I have offended you, but I think that what I have listed on these pages pretty much speak for themselves and that very few games need to be played out for them. I encourage questions and comments and I will do all in my power to quickly get you a response. Additional photos are not a problem if required but keep in mind weather permitting some time may be needed to secure particular ones.  All that I just ask is that you be as honest with me as I have tried to be honest with you.

I will accept checks and credit cards (via Pay Pal) and of course cash. I would also arrange a layaway plan if it was required. For qualified individuals, (references required) payment plans would be available also. All you have to do is inquire. I do ask though that you do not get offended when I ask for a reference or two. It is part of the process again and that it is nothing personal. Rest assured that I will do all that I can to see that you get the perfect horse for your need. 

I am truly wanting to see good useful homes for some of my horses and given the proper motivation or offer, I may be open to a reasonable offer. Please ask me. But, please no horse trades.
