	Thistledown miniatures receive the highest standard of care and attention while young, ensuring they become healthy and affectionate pets as well as exceptional show horses. Thistledown miniature horses have gentle, affectionate natures and make wonderful companions for horse lovers of all ages and abilities. They are intelligent, patient and keen to learn.


	Thistledown Miniatures has some of the top American bloodlines, including Orion Light Van't Huttenest, Brewers Moon Dust, NFC's Remarkable Rowdy, NFC's Egyptian King, Shadow Oaks Top Banana and Bond Atoy4uc. Our three stallions have an exciting array of colours in their pedigrees that includes overo, pinto, appaloosa, chestnut and silver dapple. We take pride that our stallions are registered with the American Miniature Horse Association. All have pedigrees that extend over several generations of ancestors with small heights. Welcome to our site - please take the time to browse through all the pages. There are heaps of great pictures, which we update from time to time, so please come back again soon.
