Here are some important reasons why you should purchase your miniature horse from us:

• Have you always dreamed of owning a miniature horse?  If you have never owned a mini horse or horse, let us put you at ease by sharing our knowledge with you.  We have always assisted newcomers to the breed.  Whether this is your first miniature horse or an addition to an established breeding program, we are interested in helping you find the right mini for you and your budget.       

• First, I will tell anyone new to minis to ask a lot of questions before they buy a miniature horse.  It is very easy to fall in love with a mini and/or a professional  photo, but if you will do some homework you will find happiness as an owner of a healthy horse that looks as good as the photos.

• Ask yourself, how many other miniature horse farms have 22 years of experience with a true breeding program;  we retain quality individuals to breed and produce the next generation of Champions.  We never have and never will buy horses just to resell and we don't dump our old non-reproductive broodmares. Many of our original broodmares are nearing 30 years old now living a life of leisure here, they deserve it.  Take the time to find out more about our history.

• American Miniature Horse. com, A.K.A. High Country Miniatures, Inc., has many, many satisfied customers with winning miniatures, which are producing Champions for them. 

• We have healthy miniature horses which are wormed, vaccinated, trimmed and loved.  Visit our Care of Mini Horse page where you will find valuable information on vaccinating, worming, feeding, foaling, breeding, training and color genetics of miniatures.

• We have never relied on placing our horses in AUCTIONS or having herd reduction sales;  in 22 years of breeding we have sold ONE mini through auction, fortunately to  great home.  We prefer to place the minis through private sale so we know they will be cared for properly.                                          

• We offer you beautiful and correct miniature horses for sale.  Our miniature horses are sold at reasonable prices and we will consider all reasonable offers. Whether you are looking for a colt, filly, mare, stallion, gelding, driving prospect or a family pet we have a mini that is right for you.

• Our miniature horse breeding has succeeded because we rely on producing quality, not quantity, while breeding for conformation and motion.  For 22 years, our breeding program has always been based on breeding minis with outstanding motion in addition to beauty and correctness for halter;  this has taken us to the top in the industry.    You are not likely to see twenty of our horses in the show ring at one time because we don't produce that many foals a year.   Many of our minis are found in Outstanding Miniature Stallions, Past and Present and Outstanding Miniature Mares, Past and Present by Pat Elder.                    

• WE HAVE PRODUCED OVER 75+ MINIATURE HORSE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!  Not 75+ Championships, 75+ minis that earned championships. See our HCM Champions page for more details and photos.

• Our Arab-type miniature horses are bred for athletic ability, beauty, disposition, intelligence, motion, and refinement.

• We do provide financing to qualified buyers with flexible terms and  discounts for multiple purchases.    Typically, 50% down prior to shipping and 50% paid in 12 consecutive monthly payments.    Terms only apply to US sales.                                   

• International Sales, no problem, let us help you with quarantine and transportation planning; we have year of experience with export sales of miniature horses to many international destinations including Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and many European destinations: Switzerland, Belgium, England, France, and Germany to name a few.  We are overly cautious representing the heights on our minis being sold internationally.  As a buyer, you should familiarize yourself with your country's guidelines for height and at what point on the body the measurement is taken, it varies a great deal from country to country.  If we feel a mini will be too close on height at maturity - I will not send them to you.

• MasterCard/Visa/Discover/American Express accepted through PayPal.

Who is High Country Miniatures, Inc.? We fell in love with and bought our first mini, NFC Sweet Dreams, in February of 1988.  In July of that year, we purchase X-Caliber's Little Navajo (left), and he gave us a super start by producing quality foals that still win top honors today.  Navajo passed away in March of 2005, but his legacy lives on in all of his progeny.   Visit our HCM History  page and learn our secrets to success.  Miniature Horses really are like Potato Chips, you can't have just one. 

What does High Country Miniature horses breed for? Our Texas based American Miniature Horse Farm breeds miniature horses for correct conformation, performance, driving motion, refinement and beauty.  We have consistently produced AMHA  and AMHR National Champion halter, futurity halter,  performance futurity and performance Champions, since 1988.   We only produce 10 - 20 foals a year preferring to produce Quality, not Quantity. 

Our miniature breeding program began with one stallion,  X-Caliber’s Little Navajo. He was a twelve time National Champion and became Reserve National Grand Champion Senior Stallion; his titles were in halter as well as harness.  To this day, Navajo sons and daughters are still winning top honors in the show ring, and more importantly, the grand-get are also winning.  Over the years we have added select stallions to our program that have passed on quality traits to enhance the horses we started with.

We have used only stallions and mares which produce and pass on superior traits.  The stallions we started our breeding program with: X-Caliber's Little Navajo, Landry's War Paint, Little Kings Almighty Buck (left), Sooner State's Big Deal, and Cross Country's Waterford, go back to some of the finest contributors of great motion and conformation in the breed: Bond Showboy, Chianti, Gold Melody Boy, and Shadow Oaks Paul Bunyan.   Sooner State's Big Deal and Cross Country's Waterford have recently been sold to make room for three exciting new breeding stallions: HCM Navajo's X-Caliber, HCM War Paint's Fashionation, and HCM War Paint's Stars n Stripes 4EVER. Unfortunately, we lost X-Caliber's Little Navajo in March of 2005 to cardiac arrest. If you would like to view more information on our breeding stallions, follow this link to our Reference Sires page.
