What Do I Need to Do BEFORE I Get a Miniature Horse?
First and foremost, this can't be stressed enough.....If you don't live in a rural area, check with the local zoning board BEFORE you buy a Mini and bring it home. Every town in every state is different. Miniatures have not been around long enough to set any kind of precedent and, most likely, YOU will be the pioneer in your area.
Second, spend enough time researching the kind of Mini you want and know what you want to do with it. Visit with breeders in your area, attend shows, and join the local club to learn all you can about what is available before you buy.
Third, if you decide to buy a mare in foal, give yourself enough time to learn what to expect and to find a good vet and someone to help out, if necessary, when the time comes. (Look at our Book Store)
But I Still Have Questions......
Read all you can find about Minis, talk to other owners, visit farms, attend shows, and Ask Your Questions. Most folks are tickled pink to talk about their Minis!
