That was then, this is now. Our impulse buying is back. We love our miniature horses. After we sold almost everything on the farm, our two minis were the last to go and we just couldn't bring ourselves to do it. We certainly had a lot of interest, but for whatever reason, we held on to them. And then this new farm landed our way and we were able to keep the minis as well as rebuild our flock of sheep.
But it has been two years since Blossom was born and Farm Girl missed out on her birth because she was out west for the summer. So we really wanted a foal this summer but we never got Pixie bred. We corrected that this year so that next spring/early summer, we will hopefully have another foal on the farm.
However, we still wanted more miniature horses and didn't think we could wait another year. We constantly are looking on Kijiji and yesterday, an add came up selling some miniatures not more than ten minutes from our farm.
We jumped in the van and headed over. And immediately fell in love with this little girl.
They really had no information on her. Not her age, her name, nothing. They had only owned her along with her mother since last summer. But she is smaller than both Pixie and Blossom and has the same personality as Blossom. She really is a pocket pony.
We have determined by her teeth that she is approximately 2 to 3 years old. She was running with the farm's stallion so could be bred. We hope not. Though we would love a tiny foal, she is too young to have a baby. We plan to breed her next year along with Blossom.
We're thinking of calling her Fantasia. We'll give her a couple days to settle in, make sure the pasture fence is secure (she is small enough to slip through some of the rails) then introduce her to Pixie and Blossom.
