Barbara Havins

Barbara Havins, miniature horses, Summersville, WV, is based in the Appalachian Mountains near Charleston. She has been breeding miniature horses for over fifteen years and holds membership in the American Miniature Horse Association. The farm undergoes annual registry inspections and maintains complete pedigree and health records for every animal.

Their breeding program emphasizes gentle temperaments and sound conformation, with each foal raised in a pasture-based setting and socialized from an early age. Animals live in a well-ventilated barn with daily turnout across fenced pastures and receive routine health screenings for orthopedic and metabolic stability. Foaling seasons are planned to align with peak pasture growth and ensure natural grazing opportunities.

On-site shows have earned the farm recognition for consistent type and refined movement, and many horses thrive in therapy and companion roles. Visitors and owners appreciate the hands-on care and close attention to detail that foster sure-footed, well-mannered animals adaptable to family life and educational programs.
