Hi,
It has taken me a very long lifetime to acquire a property with land and a barn / amenities to be able to get mini's. I am finally ready and... guess what? I can't find any?? OK, so that is not totally true, I can find fancy breeders on the internet that want like $5k , $10k or more deposit on a 2 year waiting list (scam?) for the prize bloodlines which are of course beautiful in pictures. I occasionally see one on craigslist looking old and shady healthwise with little truth on their background and dodging questions on temperament. Are they just all gone now or am I looking in all the wrong places? I used to see them all the time. Horses ( or cows) under 200 lbs the size of large dogs. They were often used as support animals for hospitals and stuff? Gone?? I was worried so much about making sure I have the perfect place, I guess I never paid enough attention to where they come from. Any help from anyone would be appreciated. internet links to the "correct" places perhaps? Should I be going to county fairs or something instead of looking on the internet? I don't need a blue ribbon trophy mini, I just want happy and healthy.
