Description
Minuet of PVA is affectionately called "Minnie", and she does know her name! She is a proven female with 4 crias sired by Macgyver's Balboa and Diamonte.. We have 2 of her offspring here at our farm (Michellina of PVA and Black Monarch).
Minuet had a good show career, but regrettably never placed above 2nd. Her appearance, with the white splashed top-knot, always wins 1st place with our farm visitors! Her gentle personality will melt your heart as she makes a point to greet you at the gate regardless if you have snacks. If you listen carefully, you will certainly "hear" her talking with her eyes that are full of expression.
Today, Minnie is enjoying her retirement. She coaxes you out of extra snacks, and is a vibrant part of her herd. She prefers to cush in her favorite shady areas, but remains active & inquisitive with newcomers on the farm, including the crias.
It is our goal to maintain the quality of life of those who spend their retirement years at LHSA, and we monitor the weight and health of our seniors closely.
