In 2010 we didn't breed many mares due to the economy. We expected a total of 8 foals. We lost three of them in a row for various reasons. These are the first three born. Two miniatures and one 100% Arenosa pony. So far they are all colts. |
2011 Babies |
We are really pleased with the quality of our babies so far. They are worth a look and are priced, we feel, very fairly. Each baby, so far, is show quality and we expect the last two (or perhaps three) to be the same. Give us a call or come and visit us at Miniature Ventures! |

MiniV Denali's Mr Peeps Peeps was born just before Easter, 2011. He's a correct little colt who will not get very tall. His dam, MiniV Raider's Ice Cream is only 31 inches tall. His sire, MiniV Raider's Denali is 33 inches. Peeps is double-bred Sooner State Raider Light and carries Raider's eye and head AND Movement! Peeps may be purchased registered for $750 or unregistered for $500! |

MiniV Denali's Southern Storm Storm is an early May colt. He's a son of Bond Brown Betty and MiniV Raider's Denali. His pedigree is royal...a Bond Showboy grandson!!! Every indication we have is that this colt will be a winner in the show ring and he inherited movement from his grandsire, Raider as well as the beauty and grace of his dam. He's all attitude and is very curious at the moment at nearly a month old. This colt could be your new herd sire without a doubt! He's priced at $1000 registered with AMHA. He can be double registered. |

100% Arenosa!! This colt is as yet
un-named. He's 4 days old in these photos and is every bit
Arenosa to the core. His dam, Bristol Chispa is an extremely
desired mare and she stamps her babies with her attitude, looks and
definitely her movement. His sire is our A Classic Touch Poco de
Echo who is giving us some remarkable babies. To be honest, we
had hoped that this colt was a filly but we're tickled with him
anyhow. At eight days old, he's got an attitude and demands
everyone give him a look-see. I will be getting more photos of
him when the weather breaks. If you are interested in an Arenosa
Show Horse give us a call at 541.410-6222. This boy is going to
be a winner, we can almost guarantee that!

MiniV
Dorados Moondust Moondust
is a four year old 75%
Arenosa
filly. Born in 2005, she has been catching our eye since she was
born. Her sire is El Dorado and her dam is our 50% Arenosa
Shetland, Pony Connection Misty Rose. The photo on the left was
taken of her
as a yearling.
She has a great eye, wonderful movement and a very gentle
disposition. Moondust could easily be fitted, shown and
WIN! We will sell her with a breeding to our Arenosa stallion, A
Classic Touch Poco de Echo for a baby with a much higher level of
Arenosa breeding and a live foal guarantee. AMHR
$1000.

Rabbit
Hutch
Ranch
Buckeroo
Gal Bunny is a very desireable cross of bloodlines. Her sire's side goes straight back to Boones Little Buckeroo and her dam's side is 100% Arenosa Shetland--two bloodlines...with national championship winning representatives in both! Bunny is registered both AMHA and AMHR. She's barely 32 inches tall. She's a little skittish but that's typical of the Arenosa bloodlines until you earn the horse's trust. Bunny was foaled in May of 2005 and spent the summer with our 100% Arensoa stallion, Poco. She was ultra-sounded in foal. Bunny is smaller than we'd like for our breeding program. That's the only reason she is on this list. She is sold with a live foal guarantee. $2500. |

MiniV Dorados Esperanza Esperanza,
which
means
HOPE,
is
a
delightful filly 2006...incredibly upright, straight-legged and
just a wonder to watch. She is extremely refined and quite the mover.
Esperanza is completely our breeding. Her sire, Bristol El
Dorado, is our multi-champion of champions, Arenosa AMHR National top
three stallion. Her dam, no slouch herself, is our miniature
champion MiniV Raiders Red Terra, a wonderful mare who we adore.
Typical of the Arenosa bloodline, Esperanza is a bit skittish and we purposely haven't handled her a lot. She has a showy, look at me attitude and is just waiting to go to a home where she'll be loved and learn to trust her owners. She'll mature around 36" and is a perfect height to drive, show AMHR section B halter, or to become a broodmare. We will sell her with a breeding for next year (2009) or 2010 to our Arenosa stallion, A Classic Touch Poco de Echo or to our Alamos Bay Escapade, depending on which way you want her bred. BOY DO WE NEED NEW PHOTOS OF THIS LITTLE GIRL! $1000. |

MiniV
Dorados SunStruck Sunstruck is a March, 2007 filly. She is a gorgeous golden palomino with 75% Arenosa breeding. Her sire is our Bristol Eldorado, multiple champion of champions and our A Classic Touch Kewpies Flame, 50% Arenosa mare, one of the friendliest horses in the herd. Sunstruck is going to mature at around 36 inches. She is 100% Shetland pony and her ASPC papers are pending. She is inquisitive and friendly. She should be trained to drive as she is strong, fancy and a superb mover. We call her one of the "triplets" here at Miniature Ventures because she's one of three lovely little solid palomino girls we had within a month in 2007. Sunstruck will make a valuable addition to any herd as a future broodmare. Write us for more photos...this is one filly who should not be missed! $500. LOWER PRICE!!!!  photo taken January 12, 2009 |

Pocos Hiela Hiela
is a pretty special
filly. Born in May, 2007, she is sired by our A Classis Touch
Poco de Echo. Her dam is Alamos Snowmans Blue Ice, a very special
mare in a lot of ways...her color (perlino) being only one of them.
Hiela was shown to Champion Junior Mare in her only show as a weanling. As you can see, she's a golden palomino and will mature to about 35 inches. She is registered AMHR and really deserves to be in a show home. That's the only reason we're selling her...she has the potential to go all the way if she is handled properly. Hiela has it all. She's friendly, inquisitive, loving, charismatic and put together beautifully. With her very refined Arabian looks and movement, she can easily be driven as well as shown in halter. Hiela inherits the dilute gene from both her parents. She is number two of our 2007 triplets. We have current, winter fuzzy photos of Hiela. Please Inquire about her price as we will make special considerations to a show home. Private Treaty. |

MiniV Pocos Senorita
Senorita is a 50% Arenosa filly born in June, 2008. Her dam is our 32 inch Nestucca Squaw's Meetoo (our very first miniature) and her sire is our 36 inch A Classic Touch Poco de Echo (100% Arensoa Stallion). Senorita's birth is chronicled in our health pages, A Normal Foaling in pictures . Senorita's registration is in the works with AMHR. She is a silver dapple filly with a beautiful white star. She's very correct and has all the movement qualities of her Arenosa parentage. We guess she will mature around 35 inches tall. $750. LOWER PRICE $500 |

2010
Foals
2010 was a light foaling year for us at Miniature Ventures. We purposely only bred a few mares because of the economy and us down-sizing our herd some. We have had 8 foals this year...a total of five colts and three fillies. We are proud to present the majority of these delightful babies to you here on our website. We have more photos available if you need them and can easily take others |
 |
if
you
like.
All
these
pictures
were
taken
in
the
field
on September
7, 2010 and show the babies as they look to us every day. The
pics of Halbarad have some spots on them because of stuff that was on
our camera lens. Most of our babies are either weaned or ready to
be weaned so they can leave here any time. The only exceptions
are Flora and Lightening Bolt. ENJOY the pics and come on by to
check out these wonderful kids! |

Halbarad should mature right around 36 inches so is the perfect size to be shown as a driving colt or in halter/performance events. He's fine enough to be considered for a herd sire and should remain black, black back with a white sock in the front and a white stocking in the rear. He is sold unregistered at $750 and registered for $1000. YOUR CHOICE!!! |

MiniV Pocos
Precious Precious is a gorgeous filly with one ice blue eye.Many visitors here at the ranch are drawn to her and her "look-at-me" charisma. She's offish and needs a lot of handling but will make a magnificent show pony both as a halter horse and a driving pony. She should mature around 36". Her sire is our 100% Arenosa A Classic Touch Poco del Echo. We have only just decided to let her go...and for the bargain basement price of $750 unregistered. Precious is 100% Shetland. |

MiniV Pocos Jewel Jewel is 50% Arenosa Shetland Pony and 50% miniature horse. She is sired by our A Classic Touch Poco del Echo and her dam is our MiniV Bay Brianna. We call her jewel because of the "necklace" of white that she wears. Jewel was to be our daughter's show mare but our daughter lost interest when the show season hit this year. Jewel will do well in both halter and performance classes. She can be registered AMHR and we're selling her unregistered for $750. Jewel needs a lot of one-on-one attention right now and certainly has an "attitude". I will post better pics when the weather clears. |
