On Saturday we purchased Fantasia, a miniature horse. She is 8 months old and stands about 26 inches tall. Take a look and tell me she’s not the most adorable thing in the world.
With our latest acquisition, Petting Zoo 1.0 is now complete. That is, we have all the animals we intend to get until we see if this thing is going to take off. So here’s what we have:
- 1 Miniature horse
- 2 Pygmy goats
- 2 Lionhead rabbits
- 5 Chickens
- 1 Calf (that we’ll borrow from a friend that owns a dairy)
- 1 German Shepard
So we’ve got all the animals in place–we just need to finish a few administrative tasks:
- Create a brochure
- Get business cards
- Setup a website
- Advertise in the local family magazine
After that, we’ll sit back and hope to hear the phone ringing off the hook rather than crickets.

I swear I feel like any second a really little person is going to jump on that horses back and take off. (grin)
that is the CUTEST little horse-thing! i bet i could keep him in my house!!! what is it about small animals that makes me swoon?
