Cogswell Mountain Miniature Horses of NH aka Granite State Miniatures
Welcome To Our Appaloosa Miniature Horse Farm!
Updated 1/20/10 **Horse & Cart & Harness Packages Available.** I have mini leather & nylon HARNESS PARTS available FOR SALE and I've decided to sell my OAK SHOW CART for $699 (pictured below) since I bought a more practical rubber wheeled cart for the trails around here. 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 down t& currently have five. Thank you to those that have purchased our much loved horses.
Our 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. Not to mention he looks like a million bucks pulling his oak show cart in his nice leather harness! Red is a handsome boy w/ hazel eyes.
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 in the not so distant future. I plan on only keeping two, or three or four...oh it's so hard to part with our minis! Reasonable offers will be considered on all horses.
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!
