| Just after
graduating from the University of Michigan in 1989, I received my first
exposure to
miniature horses. I had shown Arabians and Quarter Horses while
growing up, and gave riding lessons to Debbie Lynch. Her mother, Connie Lynch, had just decided to start a miniature horse farm and
I joined her on a trip across the Northeast and Midwest to find the best miniature horses
available to start Alvadar Miniatures. Five years later Connie was reviewing a tape of some
horses for sale and I saw a broodmare that I felt was too good of an opportunity to pass
up. In 1994 I purchased Grandpas Lady Spitfire with Alvadar.
In the summer of
1995 the mare gave
birth to a tiny black filly, MFAs Silver Issue who was shown to AMHA Top Ten in
1996. I was hooked.
In 1998 Abria was
established with the goal of breeding "Elegance in
Motion". Abria is founded on the principle that a top quality horse
must have both excellent conformation and movement. We have
assembled some of the finest bloodlines in the industry and are just
beginning our journey of breeding a horse that wins both National Grand
Champion in Halter and in Driving. A goal that should keep us
challenged for years to come.
Abria is located on a 60
acre farm in Lowell, MI. Please contact us if you would like
