Nestled in the northeastern corner of Vermont, aptly referred to as the "Northeast Kingdom"  you'll find NORTHEAST KINGDOM MINIATURES (NEK) horses.  We are a small, family farm on the banks of the Lamoille River.  Our small size allows us to spend oodles of time with our minis and they are all well adjusted, happy, productive members of the 'family.'  This year, we offer training for your mini for halter and harness.  As space is limited, we can only accommodate a small number of clients.  Call for information.

Our first mini arrived from Virginia in 2001...then they just seemed to keep coming. From North Carolina, Vermont, Pennsylvania, New Hampsire and Texas and Massachusetts.  Our mares and stallions represent some of the best the breed has to offer....Hemlock Brooks, Buckeroo (through Little Kings Black Velvet), Orion, Bond, Komoko, Gold Melody Boy and Rowdy to name a few.  Pedigrees are listed throughout our website.  All of our minis are AMHA/R, AMHR or AMHA.  Some are eligible parentage qualified.

Our horses are out and about - we show during the short summer season and enjoy the interaction with other horse folk in the area.  We're out driving 3 or 4 evenings a week, weather permitting, enjoying the quiet of back roads and trails and the beautiful scenery of the area.  Our horses participate in local affairs such as parades and other events. Friends and neighbors stop frequently to watch our horses play and anxiously await the arrival of each new foal.  Visitors stop to admire and ask questions about our little horses and we love to talk to them about these little guys.  We can occasionally they can be found cooling off at nearby Caspian Lake much to the delight of both children and adults. Now that we have three of them driving, we are confidently moving in the direction we had hoped.  We welcome your comments about our horses and this website and look forward to seeing you in the show ring, on the trail...or in the lake!

Please sign our guestbook and thanks for visiting.
