Welcome
to Miniature Ventures, a family run business and personal passion where
we breed beautiful, show quality Miniature Horses and Miniature
Shetland Ponies of pedigree.
Our goal as
Miniature Horse and Pony
breeders is to create
athletic little horses of natural action with breathtaking heads and a
clean throat latch. To assist in accomplishing the mission of
continually
improving the Miniature Horse and Shetland breed, our herd includes
some of the
finest
examples in the industry.
Our
herd
of Miniature Horses are
registered with
the American Miniature Horse Association where we are proud to be
lifetime
members, the American Miniature Horse Registry and/or The American
Shetland
Pony Club. Certain horses are registered with all three!
All of our foals are imprinted
at birth. Our mares are given
individual
care
and even our stallions are gentlemen. We believe that breeding not only
for excellent conformation is important, but breeding a Miniature Horse
or Pony
with a loving personality is as well.
We
have
been breeding and
showing
Miniature Horses since 1990. Prior to that time we had little horse
experience
at all. We fell in love with Miniature Horses at the Oregon State Fair
and spent a year researching the little equines prior to buying our
first
one. Through the network of Miniature Horse breeders we met over
the years we learned much about horses and miniatures in particular. We
realize, however, there is so much more to learn and we avidly seek out
new people and reading materials to educate us further.
We
have branched out from the
"mini horses"
and have added to our herd historical bloodlines of Shetland
Ponies. We have magnificent representatives of each in both
breeds and our breeding program's focus remains on producing the very
best
small equine in conformation temperament and athleticism.
Miniature Ventures
offers the unique
service of
providing specialty transportation for Miniature Horses and Ponies.
