Hello,

I wanted to say hi to everyone and say a little about myself....I am 19 years old and i have to many horses to count.I have been around quarter horses all my life.My mother use to raise halter babies but i went to miniatures. They are easy keepers and right up my ally because they are small and i love getting them pretty. i run barrels for fun and ride in a great drill team. Ok im going to let you know all my horses names..

Corona-appenix(sp?) sorrel 16 hands my favorite boy, my barrel horse, and he is my drill horse
Shiner- grade quarter horse- gray- 15 hands and is in trainning for barrels and drill

Thats the big horses now my little guy

Patches- my 26" blue roan leapord appy
Apache- my 32" red and white paint

and im not going to put my girls on here there are to many

Welcome aboard and as always great to have a new face. Hope you will fill in some material about barell racing. I have a 3 year old daughter and she likes to ride already.

I am sure she will have a go at them when she gets old enough. Right now she thinks she can start jumping...

Well glad to have you. And hope to read some fun stuff from Texas.

Hey Corona,
Where in Texas are you from? I lived outside of Austin for a while (a long time ago) and I loved it out there!
How many minis do you have? Are they easy to keep? Are they good for kids? What's the tallest a mini can be? I was thinking of getting one for my kids, but I would like it if they could ride it a little.

I live around the dallas area, i have about 20 miniatures, my website is www.HeartKRanch.com, if you want see a little more. Im not done with it the website but it will let you see my stud, i going to start adding the mare page soon.

The minis i have are really great with kids, 1/10 of the price of big horses, 38 inches is the tallest, but for your kids to ride and the horse to be happy is 34-38 inches for a good sized kid. but ANYWAYS

It is great to meet another Texan Corona. Welcome to the forums!
