Small Miniature horse stud
www.hardingsminiatures.co.nz Hardings Miniatures is based in Blenheim, Marlborough. Thats when the miniature bug hit me!
(2)

I have been involved with horses for all my life, riding when I was younger. When I progressed into the working life I found I didn't have the time for the big horses, so I got my first miniature horse, Dove, in 2006. Slowly I've been adding them to my collection. I've shown successfully over the years and have now decided to bred a few. Hardings miniature horse stud plans to breed, true refinement, quality show horses.

Amazing day out to wee Rai Valley for a show 🙌 brought the horses with no white legs I’m far to lazy to get up any earlier with a child 🤣

Stupid Cupid ( tho he wasn’t so stupid today! ) somehow managed to be a gelding! Got ribbons around his neck 😳 didn’t really bolt off … 🤷‍♀️ what happen I dont no but was great … slightly scary !
Coming home with a Supreme !

Wee dolly was just her star as usual, grass belly high may of been her only fault, but Tyler did her off lead 🙌 I also told him to run at the judge … run her over …. Where he did exactly that, kept chasing her 🤣🤦‍♀️
Grumpy child at times - early morning, and throw in some bloody chickens that he was desperate for me to take home - I herd it all the way home! Tears and all! Thankfully a mate had some for him to visit 😂 thanks to the judge steward and the people running the show! well done to all, such a nice relaxing day

Today we waved off my stunning “keepher” baby. Tyler’s fav little horse. Was not the easiest but the most perfect home came up that I decided ( as, did Tyler ) to let her go. She will be missed but I will hold onto the memories of many supremes and runner ups, I can’t wait to see this wee miss out!

My wee boy Tyler saying his goodbyes to buck .... we will truly miss this boy - so easy, showy and just a real character! His sisters really protested and took him for a run - aswell as me! We're all covered in mud and my leg.... well, that's pretty warm right now! Best of luck Buck .... but I know your a star and you will show ya butt off ###
