Donabi UK consists entirely of pure AMHA registered horses directly imported from the US, but also with BMHS and IMHPS registration here in the UK. They have been selected for qualities such as extreme refinement, beauty and correct flowing movement, together with wonderful temperament.

Their pedigrees combine the most sought after names in the American Stud Book, including Orion Light Vant Huttenest, L & D Scout, Gold Melody Boy, Wittmaacks Mickey Mouse, to name but a few. The horses we have presently also include a direct son and daughter of National Grand Champion Sierra Dawn Uno de Mayo.

We have built up a small select herd with an aim to breed beautiful miniature horses encompassing the traits we originally selected for.

From a small show team we are very proud that our horses have consistently won and been placed at the highest level. Donabi UK have for five consecutive years had HOYS finalists. In 2004 our palomino pinto mare Nehi Chinchee May won the yearling class there and went on to stand Reserve Champion Miniature Horse. In the 2 & 3 year old class the same year we also took 2nd place with Stormy Rivers Scouts Shez So Randi, the winner of the class going on to be HOYS Champion.

John and I have done much to promote Miniature Horses in the UK, including a trade stand at the Devon and Cornwall Equine Fair, an appearance on ITV's 'Des and Mel' show. In 2004 and 2005 we were invited to display our Miniature Horses at the Devon County Show, together with a trade stand. Under the banner of the Miniature Horse Club of Great Britain we presented twice daily displays to appreciative audeiences, in the Lady Clinton Ring with the help of fellow members, Jill Robinson, Janice Goudie, Stephen and Alison Johnston. The displays included driving, jumping and halter obstacle.

To date we continue to enjoy showing our horses throughout the UK, and breeding a small number of foals each year.

We hope you enjoy browsing our website and getting to know our horses.
