Miniature Horse Wanted

[doubleopi]

I am looking for a true miniature horse. Must be less than 30" if it's an adult, or expected to mature to that height. Must be friendly, halter trained, easy to catch and tie, good for farrier/vet. Will be housed with 2 big, friendly dogs (who have lived with that size mini before) and maybe a goat or two later on. Only top quality feed, natural hoof care and vet care provided. Will have access to grass 24/7. Will not be stalled, we have lots of trees, which my previous mini preferred, as well as an adequate shelter if it's really nasty. Will not pay more than ~$500 except maybe to a rescue. Any colt will be gelded.

In NW Oregon, SW Washington preferably.

I just recently lost my rescued mini boy. We, unfortunately, lost him shortly after his gelding due to a severely damaged liver from his neglected past. My parents truly appreciated him for his lawn mowing abilities as well as his playful and friendly attitude. Here are some pics of him. I never did manage to get pictures with him fully healthy and a good coat.

Shortly after arriving home, before gelding. Heavy winter coat only barely hides skeletal condition.






A little bit later, half shaved (cause he wouldn't stand still well enough for me to bother finishing him at the time) and in a bit better shape.




Anyway, as you can see, he was a true mini, and that's what I want again. He only weighed about 130-150 lbs in optimal condition. I will wait for that right one to come along.

Feel free to ask me any questions at all.
Thanks

I'm sorry about the loss of you rescued Mini.

How are you doing on your search for another? When you find the 'right one' can you post pictures??

Thanks,
