Bud, Mandy and I live in the Country. We have 3 miniature horses (the Boys), 3 dogs (the Girls), one mini rooster and 5 hens (the Ladies). We live on 43 acres with our horses, dogs and chickens.. We sold our 17 acre property that we owned for 2 years and our 5 acres. We purchased 43 acres and built a barn and a house in 2008 and named it Mini Hill Farm. It is very private and has a wonderful view! Click here to see our Mini Hill Farm build pictures. Mini Hill Farm was completed and we were moved in October of 2008. By December 2008 we were pregnant. Mandy Andrea was born Wednesday, September 16th 2009 at 12:14pm, 17 1/2 inches, 6.4 lbs.

It is fun having horses they have wonderful personalities and love attention. They also love to eat. Miniature horses are very curious they get into EVERYTHING! The flower beds had to be moved or modified to allow only horse friendly morsels. We noticed he seemed to get into a lot of things because he seemed to be lonely so we had to add two more little stinkers to our family to try to keep him out of trouble. We added Chester and Lester!

	The girls are all ready for Christmas. We had to hide their stockings because Maggie will sneak and get all of them if we don't hide them well!
Bud loves playing with his tractors. He mows hay every year selling some and keeping the rest for our horses. He is very active and loves hunting, chopping wood and playing on our properties.
