Male Miniature Horse.

Miniature Horse's

My obsession with animals when I was younger was not limited to specific animals, however, that's not to say I didn't play favorites. As many people say as the stereotype of little girls, I wanted to do horse back riding and was especially enamored with horses. These incredible animals have so much strength and can run forever. This also affected my reading choices and I read many horse books (especially the Thoroughbred series and the classics, like Black Beauty).

When I was still fairly young I was lucky enough to have an uncle who let my family stay at his house on Martha's Vineyard in Edgartown every summer for a week or two. One summer a large dog standing on his hind legs came up on the back porch and scared me silly, I thought it was a bear he was so big! Another summer a goat came to visit the backyard and would run away from my brother, it was fun to watch. I soon discovered my uncle's neighbor owned miniature horses as well. The neighbors name was Sandy and she was kind enough to allow me to visit every summer and take photos of the animals she had at the time. These are some photos from my visits when I was in high school.

Here three babies, a foal and two fillies, had just been born. One of the mothers had Heterochromia, one blue eye and one brown, which she passed on to her baby. I had so much fun visiting these horses, you will photos of them again.
