Located on a 30 acre farm in West Michigan, User Friendly Miniatures is dedicated to raising correct minis that can be handled by ANYONE. 

While looking for minis for our autistic sons, we came across many horses that refused to be caught, avoided attention and freaked out over any little thing.    Our kids needed horses that were easy going, understanding and WANTED to be handled.  Horses that didn't get upset when our children threw their arms in the air or made loud noises. Horses that walked along on a limp rope held by a squirrelly 6 year old.     We were lucky enough to find a few horses like that and it was clear that we would be raising our foals with these goals in mind. 

We raise our horses with love and they are handled by people with disabilities.  They are exposed to many different situations and get loads of interaction with children and visitors.

It's not uncommon to see our horses in the house, in the bathtub washing up or playing in a fenced in yard with our kids.  They go to school, ride in the van and even hang out under the canopy while our oldest son reads to them.   They love to do these things and seek these interactions out.  Yet, they are very much HORSES. 

Our horses boast great bloodlines including National Champions. Add that to our focus,  you've got a wonderful horse no matter what direction your mini dreams take you.

Take a journey into our pastures and be surrounded by horses looking for your attention!!
