Through the charitable efforts of our volunteers and our community, we strive to provide help, hope and loving life-long homes to miniature equine that have been seized, surrendered or suffered gross abuse and neglect."
My minis arrived at Triple H April 1, 2009 in a snow storm from Paris, Arkansas. There were 14 minis, all malnourished. Subiaco, estimated to be 5 years old, was very close to foaling. Even with extra care from Alison, Steve, and HHH, there wasn’t enough time and after 3 weeks she lost her foal.
Coury, estimated to be a 4 year old mare, showed with ultra-sound that she was 5 months pregnant. With much excitement my friend Pam & I went to Triple H on June 1st, and got Subiaco and Coury. It was midnight when we arrived home by Dazey, ND, so I left the minis in the trailer over night with some hay and water, rather than put them in a dark, strange correl. It is a 16 ft. trailer so they had room to move around. My husband Dale unloaded them early the next morning. By the time I got home the next evening from work, my granddaughter, Jerica, had them named. Coury became Pebbles, and Subiaco became Butterscotch. Both were on the wild side, but learned real fast that a pail meant pellets, and within a couple days they were running to see us. 8 year old Jerica could lead them both, and my 4 year old grandson Jared, was leading Pebbles (Coury) within a few days.
Christain was also very close to foaling when she arrived at Triple H from Paris, Arkansas. Very thin, but with extra special care from Alison and Steve and HHH she delivered a thin, but healthy foal, Slator, on May 17, 2009, just 6 weeks after arriving in starving condition. Christain is estimated to be 8 years old.
The first two pictures are Subiaco and Coury when they arrived at HHH. The next two pics are Subiaco and Coury when I picked them up to take to my home. These next two pics are Christain when she arrived and soon after she foaled. The next is a picture of Slator alone. These pictures were all taken by Alison and HHH.
I brought Christain and Slator home on July 13. From the extra attention Christain received before she foaled, she was quite tame and led real well. My minis had the run of 3 correls they shared with an old Shetland/welsh named Dusty and a black mare named McCue. The next picture is my little mini herd with McCue.
Christains name has been changed back to Trixie which was on her coggins papers, although she gets called both, and sometimes my grandson Jared calls her Justine because he couldn’t remember her name. “Trixie” has been a long time pet name for both Dale and I, both dogs and horses.
