glory--look on page 2

Cheryl--nope--that's exactly what I wanted--a bridge for the minis! He asked about dimensions before he started. My horse friends are very jealous. :-D I take a horse over it every time one leaves the fence--which is at least 5 times a week--usually I take two out a day.

My friend Cheri and I set up the obstacle course in the driveway yesterday to practice with Mazie and Tucker. They're going to do all sorts of things. :wink:

What a beautiful piece of furniture. It will become a much loved item that will be passed down for years to come. Age is only a number. I am enjoying the 60's. Just miss the energy I once had. Happy Birthday.

So sorry - I feel like a fool :-( Your mini-horses are beautiful! My favorite animal is the horse - they are so majestic, beautiful and strong! They always make me think of God and Jesus returning on a white horse. I'm not real familiar with minis but they are so cute! I loved the pictures and what a cool idea to bring assisted living people to your farm to experience them! I'm assuming your minis are full grown? How big are they when they are born? How big do they get full grown? What is their life expectancy compared to a regular horse? They're so cute and interesting, I'm just curious.

I got a wheelbarrow a few years ago. :lol: I asked for it though. My husband insisted we could get one anyway--that it didn't have to be a gift--but it was perfect. We needed a second.

Oh heavens--don't feel badly. It's hard to read tone in typed words. I was being silly about my wanting one, not about my sweetheart making me one.

Minis have a similar life expectancy to big horses: 25-30 years. So go more, many, many go less.

If you want to see pictures (LOTS of pictures) of the horses in various stages of growth (even birth!)--just go to my website. Or you can scroll back through my posts and see some. Click on "barnbum" and you can find them. The website would be easier though. www.littlechurchminis.com
