Maple Ridge Minis

The purchase of two mares from a local farm auction in 1995 reignited my passion for horses, only now they are a much smaller size!  I have learned a lot and continue to learn about this special breed of horses.

My herd stallion is a grey and white pinto son of the Reserve National Champion, Yashica Light Vant’Huttenest and grandson of the great Orion Light Vant’Huttenest.  His foals have all been pinto,  except two, on solid color mares.  He has had dark bay/white, sorrel/white, black/white, palamino/white and a white appaloosa. He is correct and very refined.  He passes  his refinement  on to all his foals; they are slender through the body and  have wonderfully long slender necks.

 

My focus has changed through the years from breeding to driving.  In light of that, my herd stallion is for sale, as well as the older mares. I have several that are trained to drive and  they are also for sale.  I love to show them to people, so don’t be afraid to call for an appointment , even if you’re not going to buy.  An up-to-date sales list is available by calling the phone number listed below or by contacting me by E-mail.
