We began showing our first imported horses
in 2004 and consistently won championship
after championship...in our first season
over 40 various championship titles and over
50 wins with our main two horses Jezabelles
Famous Song and Scott Creek Mystical Magnum.
Both ending their first and last show season
in the UK by winning at the prestigious Horse
of the Year Show.
That same year we were the first and only
farm in the UK to have a horse shown at the
AMHA Worlds - our junior stallion took a
Top Five in 2004.
This shows our level of commitment and that
we had set our sights high. In the following
years our first homebred horses were also
taking the Supreme Titles at shows up and
down the country.
Always looking for a new challenge
and testing our horses,
we started to compete in Europe - here
the competition is tough with many professionals
in the ring. However, we are not fulfilled to show year on
year in England and enjoy succes. It is important
to prove our breeding programme can meet
the higher demands of the European Circuit.
Exciting times lie ahead as we now travel
to some of the best shows in Europe with
our homebred stock. The quality and level
of competition abroad is first class so we
are proud that our horses can be competitive.
It enables us to assess our horses and
learn how we can improve...we want to go
forward and not stagnate.
See our results page for their successes.
Hailstone Miniature Horses were the only
farm representing the UK at the AMHA first
ever European Championships in 2009
and again in 2010, held in the Netherlands.
On both visits we took home Grand Champion
titles, Class Champion titles and Top Fives.
We were very pleased to be showing our horses
in top company and doing so well.
We are dedicated to promoting AMHA miniature
horses and we are proud to say that we have
been active in bringing educational events
and AMHA shows to the UK and Ireland. Please
