Little Hooves Miniature Horses

11/15/2025

Oh no. What's happening? We've sold Moonstone to a family for a little girl's birthday present today. We never really intended to sell her, but selling her to a home that's truly excited to get her is a consolation.
The funds from her sale will help us pay to get Fizzy back home. That fundraiser is still ongoing, as the need hasn't ended. But what about the future of Little Hooves?
We still have Princess, Sunny, Dusty, Diadem, and our new c**t Storm. Then of course Leann and Pearl are in the wings as mascots to remind us that even deformities can't get in the way of how much love a mini can give. We are low on the mares, though.

A break in the storms and we got a nice day... here's Moonstone, standing atop a hill, looking down at me. The rain will be returning tomorrow, and back to dark, dank, and dreary little ponies again.

We've hit the $500 mark on our funding goal, everyone! Please keep sharing and donating what you can. There's also a chance we'll be adding a third Caspian to the trip. He would be on consignment at our farm. See comments for info.

Hey everyone. We know it's been a quiet year here - the year of no foals - so hello again! The biggest news right now is that we set up a new fundraiser. We're trying to pay for the transport of two Caspian mares from Kentucky, which would do two things: 1. Help a Caspian breeder, and 2. Welcome back Fizzlepop Berry Twist (Fizzy!) to our farm—it would be a homecoming! 🩷

Hello everyone, I started a fundraiser on GoFundMe and would appreciate your support to bring Fizzy back home and help the Caspians!

Every time you share, every time you donate, it makes a difference and helps us get closer to reuniting with Fizzy. Also, Fizzy won't be riding alone... another Caspian mare would come with her ... that's if we can pull the funds together!

We know times are tough, but we gotta help our fellow breeders, and Fizzy is really important to us, too. We hope you think so, too, and can help us bring her back to our family.

Dusty is a son of Pleasant Meadows Showtime, one of our former stallions who sired many lovely babies for us.

Happy trails, lovely Cowgirl. You found an amazing home and I hope you'll like your new horsey friends. We already miss you!

Cowgirl is a beautiful mare with a nice temperament, but sadly has produced foals with birth defects (non-dwarfism) and she's now seeking a pet home as we don't want to risk it with breeding her again.

They all want a treat.

Many of you might remember Little Hooves Blue Baroque Pearl, our 2024 filly born with a leg problem, presenting with "club foot" and refusal to weight the leg. Unfortunately, her problem has not resolved, and it has steadily worsened. Her quad and hind quarter have atrophied. The vet was out today to do x-rays to determine what the issue is. We identified an underdeveloped and deformed stifle joint with an unrecognizable patella. Sadly, her prognosis is not good (there are no knee replacements for horses), and we are preparing ourselves to say goodbye to another filly. What we've faced in the last year with our minis, the heartbreak has been overwhelming.

We have some visitors at the farm! These two boys are sons of Pleasant Meadows Showtime. They're both looking for a new home.
The chestnut is a gelding and the buckskin is still a stallion. We're looking into what it might take to register them - just a lot of overdue paperwork.
