Now that my children have grown and left home my horses are my kids. I bought my first mini in 1994 as I had given up riding and my husband suggested that as I no longer ride, I could run more horses to the acer if I had minis. He was full of bright ideas. I joined a miniature horse club and have had so much fun since then. I bought a second filly in 1995, and a stallion in 1996. I soon learned that there was so much I could do with my little horses, and started to show them. A couple of my finest moments are "second best all rounder" at a large 2 day show and "foal of the year" for our local club.

I have loved horses all my life and not been without at least one in life since I was 9 years old. I spent my childhood on the back of a horse. I was involved in pony club until I got married. As an adult I have instructed pony club and went on to try western riding. My children were not interested in riding which was a shame. I hope to have grandchildren who will love to visit their nana to play with the minis one day.

The Miniature horse in New Zealand has become very popular with people from all aspects of the horse loving world. Alot of people have had a great deal of satifaction from breeding and selling alot of lovely foals. It is now time to show our gratitude to our little friends by taking responsibility for the welfare of many miniature horses that will find themselves languishing in paddocks all the country with nothing to do.

I have never bred a horse to produce a foal to sell and all my foals are bred with the intention of improving the breed and keeping to progress to the next generation. The time has come to only breed if you are able to keep that foal for its entire life. Buyers are now few and far between while the list of miniature horses for sale continues to grow. There is a large number of stallions that should be geldings and just as large number of mares that should never be bred from. I would like to challenge breders to take a harsh look at their horses and change the way they use some of their horses. No, eight, twelve or even fifteen is not too old for a horse to learn new tricks and take on a new lifestyle.

Here at Kiwikidz I now aim to promote the miniature horse as a horse for people to enjoy in many aspects of the horse world. In the past I have competed well at all types of shows in a wide range of events giving my horses a variety of activities.We have done well in jumping, obstacle and longreining. I am now getting involved in harness and I will be out there. I intend to join a new harness club which is for all horses to widen our experience in this field of horsemanship.

I have broken both my stallions to harness and have 2 mares almost ready for the shafts

I do not intend to breed any foals for 2009 and all my horses will be busy with other activities depending on individual talents.
