Havencroft Miniatures

Description

We hope you will enjoy your Web visit to our Safe Haven. As is often the case it seems, we started with "full-size" horses, and loved them. I worked with retired Standardbreds from the harness track and spent 2 years volunteering with the Standardbred Retirement Foundation and 3 more years on their payroll working at retraining and finding good loving homes for horses that for one reason or another just couldn't stay on the racetrack any longer. They were big, loving, steady horses, that taught me more than I could ever express. In 1995 I "discovered" miniatures and was absolutely "hooked" on these little guys with so much spirit that they carried within themselves, along with their gentle, affectionate nature. So I started writing for more information, researching and talking to anyone I could find who knew about miniatures. In 1996 my husband and I attended a herd dispersal auction for miniatures. (I was going to find more people to talk to and to see how much more I could learn).As we walked through the barn a little yearling colt caught my eye. He was small, and a beautiful golden color with a flaxen mane and tail. I spent the best part of two hours in the barn talking to him and getting to know him while Noel watched the progress in the ring and did some of his own talking and learning. Knowing that now was not the time to bu,y I finally left the little guy and went to see who would take him home that day...
