This past week we had the wonderful opportunity to visit a miniature horse farm called Triple M Miniatures, in Sterling, Alaska. I have a crazy love for mini horses, and I discovered the little ranch when browsing online one day.
We went with a few members of our 4-H horse club, and we had a blast!
There were thirteen minis on the farm, and as we tried over and over to name our favorites. But, it was just too hard! We played with them in the field, brushed their coats, and delighted in their soft nuzzles and curious gazes.
Lets see, there was Roscoe, Firefly, Vienna, Vanilla, Wishes, Rocky, Cocoa, Streak, Dandy, and more!

At the end of the visit, as we stood up by the gate, somebody asked the owner how in the world she manages to round up all the little ones from the field at the end of the d
ay. "I just call them in" she said.

Those ponies look so sweet.. You suppose they would let us herd them. We didn't see a picture of your heeler on your blog. Did we just miss it?

I apologize in advance, but I'm going to admit that when I used to think of Alaska I used to think of cold, snow and darkness. You have totally busted those wrong ideas! It's like the best kept secret! You have everything up there! :-D The minis are positively adorable.
We are so glad that you are going to spread the word. Anything we can do will help bring that puppy home...

LOL... I spent my whole childhood trying to explain that my pony was a pony and NOT a miniature horse! Then they go and do this! Looks like fun. And they are pretty darn cute!
