ABOUT US

WESCO FARMS began in 1999 with the purchase of three Miniature Horses that were suppose to take care of that horse fix until we had time for 'real horses'. Who knew?

This passion quickly grew and we named our operation after them - Woody, Etoile, Silhouette, and COmpany (we knew more were coming even then!) and those original three are lifers here still.

WHO WE ARE

Michelle and Anna are the 'staff' here at Wesco Farms. Michelle is the everything, owner/slave to the Minis. And yes she actually does know all the horses names, pedigrees and how they're all related. A question that she gets asked by everyone that comes out here! She is the one responsible for this website and the one to blame for all the bad photo's!

Anna is the 'assistant', that works hard helping care for the Minis. Suffering through the farrier and vet visits and helping feed and groom as needed.

We also have and are owned by an assortment of cats, dogs and other farm animals including four llamas.

BREEDING

Our breeding goals follow the established breed standards for AMHA and AMHR with our own personal criteria:

• excellent conformation
• graceful athletic ability
• soundness of both body and mind
• show stopping presence
• intelligence
• robust health and heartiness
• wonderful personality
• no known inheritable issues (stifle, dwarfism, thyroid, etc.)
• good fertility

We've worked hard since 1999 to improve our herd. We do not show at this time, so are selective in chosing horses from proven breeding stock from National/World Champion bloodlines that exhibit the qualities we want to infuse into our breeding program. We are proud of our herd and the consistent high quality foals produced year after year.

This is our business, BUT the welfare of our Minis is of the utmost concern to us. A perfect pet home for our Minis is better than a life being ill-treated, abused or moved from home to home! So we work with buyers to make sure they're getting exactly what they want. We feel this will more likely assure our Minis a lifetime home.

Having experienced the 'horse trader' types that are in every horse breed, we do offer our guarantee to our buyers and are there for our buyers before and after the sale.

Many of our Minis are 'lifers' here and our policy is to retire our older breeding stock with us or to locate a great retirement home where they are spoiled rotten.
