beautiful Miniature Shetland Ponies with the quality to
compete at top levels and the personality of a family companion.
Our focus is on colorful horses that are registered as both Miniatures

the best miniature horse and Shetland lines, including Arenosa,

Thank You's
We would be remiss if we didn't thank the people who helped us
get started. Special thanks goes to Getitia & Les Matheny of
Buckeye Walnut Creek Farm who helped us get a good start with
some great ponies. And many thanks to people who have either
trained or catch handled our World & National Champion ponies: Marvin McCabe of
Double M Farm and his wonderful family; Renee Bush of Claybury
Training Stable who treated us like gold and made it possible
for me to realize my dream of driving at Congress; Leah Johnson of L&M Equine Services
who does a great job of catch-handling; John Eberth who
transfered our smallest mare then successfully showed her for us
at 2009 Congress.

Did you know...
...
that Shetland Ponies are generally kind and very intelligent?
A pony that is handled from birth and properly trained can be a very
loyal family friend. They are naturally curious and social
animals that respond quickly to kind handling.
...
that more adults than children own and/or show Shetland Ponies at breed
shows in the United States? And that most of those adults are over
40 or even retired? They are a great choice for adults who don't
want to ride or are intimidated by larger horses or who can't afford
the cost of feeding and caring for a full size horse.
...
that ASPC and AMHR offer classes for adults and children with
special physical and mental needs? Classes are offered in
halter, showmanship, riding, and driving.
