Houck's Miniature Horse Farm

We are fortunate to have two farms. At one time we had horses at both locations but now we only have the horses in Wisconsin. Our main farm is in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin and our second farm is in Mt. Dora, Florida. Can you think of two better locations? We keep the farm in Florida in case we decide to move some of our horses there.

Our Wisconsin farm has 420 acres. The horse barn has 16 stalls, a large hay loft and an equipment area. There are nine pastures for horses and lots of crop farming acres. A farm wouldn't be complete without a beautiful wooded area for riding and we have that. A creek runs through our farm and we often see wildlife like deer, fox, coyotes, geese, Sandhill cranes, ducks, pheasants and eagles. We think it is a very special farm.

Our Florida farm has 20 acres, 15 stall barn, eight pastures, and a five acre lake with lots of bass.

Both farms are equipped with closed circuit TVs for foaling. At present we only foal at our Wisconsin farm.

Each farm has It's own character. The Florida farm is perimeter fenced with cross fences. This allowed the miniatures to roam freely around the barn, apartment, and the driveway. The miniatures like to look through the doors and windows to see what is going on inside (not always patiently.) Visitors were always pleased to see these little guys following them as they come down our 700' driveway.

At the Wisconsin farm we can see miniatures from any window. It is the only farm on the road giving us lots of privacy, but we are in close proximity to Milwaukee and Chicago. A visitor might see the miniatures and our dogs, Anatolian Shepards from Turkey, in the pasture sleeping together with bodies touching.

We presently have 45 miniatures. Our mares will start foaling in spring of 2012. We try to be finished foaling in May of the year.
