Cogswell Mountain Miniature Horses of NH aka Granite State Miniatures
Welcome To Our Appaloosa Miniature Horse Farm!
Updated 2/12/10 **I have mini leather & nylon HARNESS PARTS available FOR SALE. Email me for inquires.
See video & photos on our Facebook page! Just look me up under 'Melinda Ferreira' and send me a friend request! We have reduced our herd & currently have five (two are out on lease). Thank you to those that have purchased our much loved horses.
Our hazel eyed mini appy herd sire, Sulphuras Legacy in Red, is now a wonderful cart gelding (Scroll down to SEE HIS PIC Below) because everyone knows a great stallion means an even better gelding! He has been professionally trained to drive. Thanks to Peg for making it such a wonderful experience!
Cogswell Mountain Miniature Horse Farm started in 2004 and is centrally located in the beautiful Lakes Region of New Hampshire; just 20min. north of Concord. We will no longer be breeding our wonderful horses in 2010 as we are planning to move closer to the NH seacoast in the not so distant future where hopefully we will have less snow for a shorter winter & a longer spring and fall season, not to mention a house just as pretty but with less maintanance and smaller yard. Since our current barn setup was made for large horses, we have no need for such big pastures anymore and look forward to parting ways with all our large perennial garden beds. (I never did have a green thumb!)
About Miniature Horses
Miniature horses are a perfect way to introduce young children to equines. They are much less expensive to purchase and maintain as well as less intimidating to children (and perhaps their parents too!) Did you know:
- Larger Minis can be ridden by children up to 60lbs
- They can also drive a cart with an adult passenger!
- Minis need much less room than their bigger cousins both stable and pasture wise.
- Please click on the links in this website to learn more about miniature horses and their needs. And see you soon!
