Expert Profile: Toni Yates

Expertise:  I can answer general questions about the miniature horse breed- care, temperament, conformation, breeding and normal health questions but I am not a vet.

Experience in the area
I have bred and raised miniature horses for about 4 years and currently own 6 (with another one on the way). A good friend has been breeding and training them for over 10 years and is my source for information that I don't have.

Organizations
AMHR, AMHA, AQHA, PHBA and the Virginia Miniature Horse Club.

Education/Credentials
I have attended seminars and training sessions. I have done a lot of research and have a reference library on the Miniature Horse Breed.

Awards and Honors
My daughter and my horses have participated in various competitions and shows on the local and state level and we have numerous ribbons as well as champion and reserve championship trophies.
