Thank you for visiting FHF MiniHorseSales LLC. This site was created after seeing a need for sellers to more selectively market their quality horses to prospective buyers. At the same time, we have created a site where buyers can be certain that the horses listed are honestly represented.
(Look on our Broodmares page to see mares bred to this fine stallion owned by Lightening Ridge!)
The horses listed on this site are not owned by Frost Hill Farm/Karen Rudolph (unless noted) but owned by caring and educated horse people looking to find the best possible match of horse & new owner. MHS is proud to be the agent for this spectacular group of Miniature Horses.
If you are interested in having your horse listed on our site, please email karen@minihorsesales.com. MHS specializes in connecting sellers with buyers to ensure a perfect match between horse & human.
There is no commission taken if your horse is sold through our site and there is only a small listing fee to have your horse represented here. MiniHorseSales will market your horse on our very active site with email blasts (2000+ contacts), paid Facebook advertising and on our Facebook fan page with over 12,500 fans as well as direct contact from our large list of horse people looking for that "perfect" mini match.
All of the horses for sale are kept current on vaccinations, dewormings, farrier trims, and dental teeth care. We invite your questions and do our best to honestly represent our horses. We are here to answer your questions now and after the sale of the horse to offer a nice transition for our horses and their new owners. We want our horses to be placed in caring homes and will do what we can to insure a good fit between a particular horse and their future owners.
The horses listed are all AMHA and/or AMHR registered unless noted.
The ‘good home’ factor is important to us, and if you are the perfect home, we will never be insulted by a sincere offer. Please feel free to contact us with questions, comments or just to "talk minis".

Testimonials from some of our happy customers
I highly recommend Minihorsesales.com and Karen Rudolph. I sent her my horses to list and they were up and viewable on her website quickly. Karen has many contacts and ways to advertise, so your horse will be marketed in every possible way. Karen is very easy to work with and she takes the time to cover every detail about your horse, and will bend over backward to accommodate you and your listing. We have been connected with many perspective buyers through Minihorsesales.com. Anyone who is looking to get exposure for their sale horses NEEDS to contact Karen...... You won't be disappointed!
Kristina Slobody - Sawmill River Farm, West Brookfield, MA
Karen is a wonderful, enthusiastic horsewoman who brings her energy and dedication to promoting the miniature horse. She not only lists horses for sale, she promotes them and works very hard to connect folks with the right horse for them. She was invaluable in the sale of my colt, Brookhavens Knight Dreams, and because of that I will continue to support her and rely on her to help me connect with future potential buyers.
Merry Black - Brookhaven Miniatures, Summerfield, NC
A very special thank you to Karen Rudolph for her help in selling my colt Aloha Acres A Silent Partnership. I am amazed how fast her response was to me when I asked for her help. Not only did he sell within a very short time but Karen's professional help with dealing with prospective buyers was simply amazing. Can't say enough good things about her.
Connie B Heath - NC
I had my stallion Mcc Robin Hoods Little John listed on the Frost Hill Farm sales page. Within a week,
Little John sold to a Very Good home, which was important to me. With the network of contacts Karen Rudolph has in place and the quality of horses being sold by her, I would recommend Karen for all your sales!
Sandy Revard - Mini Equine Farm/MiniEquine Photography, Catlett VA
If you are looking for someone professional and genuine to help you sell some horses, Karen is it! My dad and I have done a lot of local advertising as well as on Lil Beginnings with no luck. Karen offered to help us, and help us she did! We have recently just sold a yearling filly with Karen's help. Not only does she write up a really well written add, but she helps find a good match for your horse! I will continue to use Karen to help me sell horses in the future.
Megan Herrick - South Frontage Miniatures - CT
I am thrilled that I was able to purchase a beautiful Show Halter and absolutely flipped out when I found such a stunning little filly for sale ~ exactly what I was looking for. So startling to find out that the seller was located only 20 miles from where I live. (We both live in FL). I hope others will be as lucky as I was when they utilize your website. Regards,
Carolyn Dunaway - Auburndale, Florida
Helpful Selling Hints
There are no "tricks" in selling horses. Most important is an honest, clear representation of the horse that you are trying to sell.
Don't make claims about the horse that are false, or far fetched (this horse is PERFECT and WILL win a World Championship - then show a short legged pasture pet!)
Take good photographs! If you can't do it yourself, HIRE helpers or hire a professional (we recommend miniequinephotography.com AKA Sandy Revard- WELL WORTH the money! Photos should be CLEAR, at HORSE'S LEVEL and free of distractions in the background (children, manure piles, tractors, etc)
Even the most beautiful horse, with a photo taken looking DOWN on the horse or at the wrong angle, can look UGLY! If you have any questions please feel free to contact me for help!
Price the horse fairly - too cheap and people wonder what is wrong - too expensive and people will walk away.
Give LOTS of details. Show record? Don't make prospective buyers search
for it! Champion pedigree? List it! Temperament? HEIGHT? Registries? Breeding history? Buyers NEED to know this stuff!
~ A Little More Info ~
I'm Karen Rudolph, and I've been selling horses on my farm website (frosthillfarmminiatures.com) for quite some time. Since it had become so successful for me I decided to branch out and have a website exclusively for marketing nice quality miniature horses.
The cost to list is $50.00 for the first horse and $35.00 for each additional horse through 2013. Contact me for quantity discounts (ten or more horses)
I will write up the ad and will promote your horse on the sales website, on FB (paid as well as free advertising) and also do e-mail blasts, post ads on popular horse sites like equine.com & promote the sale horses through full page ads in the AMHA Miniature Horse World magazine. Please note - HORSES MUST BE APPROVED BEFORE I CAN LIST THEM!
I would need the following info:
Registered name (nickname also)
Date of birth
Sire & dam (I can look all that up on Studbook)
Projected height
Color (if it isn't apparent)
Temperament
Show records, if any
PRICE and
Any other info you want me to include in the ad
MOST IMPORTANT - nice, quality photographs! I Only need a few (2-3 would be ideal) but can't sell without good pics! The horse would have to be clipped and prepped in the photos as if he/she was heading to a horse show.
Also - I can do all the correspondence with the potential buyers or put your name/number/email/website as the contact. Just let me know!
Send inquiries to karen@minihorsesales.com
HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR VISIT!
