Miniature Horses Free Petting Zoo Country Store Country Woodshop Hours Map
Welcome to Our Miniature Horse Farm!
Stop in and say ‘Hello’ to the miniature horses at the Amish farm of Henry & Linda Stoltzfus, situated just outside of Strasburg. Our miniature horses are gentle, friendly, and waiting to be petted. Our free petting zoo includes miniature horses, pygmy goats, and alpacas. You can feed them, too.
Miniature Horses
Our barn offers 10 stalls of miniature horses waiting to greet you. Henry has crafted the stalls so that each has a large hole cut in the door. It’s quite a sight to turn the corner and see all these little heads peeking out at you! The design of the stalls offers ample opportunity to pet the horses and have your picture taken with them.
We also offer saddle rides and cart rides with our miniatures. Small children will love this opportunity to ride or ride behind one of our miniature horses. While in the barn, you can also view Henry and Linda’s team of driving horses, as well as their buggy.
This is a unique experience for every member of your family. There is no admission fee to tour the horse barn. There is a small charge for the rides.
We are open Monday through Saturday, 9 am – 5 pm (closed Sundays).
