About Us...

As a young child I can remember riding by Dell Tera Farm in Inman SC. I was absolutely amazed by the "ponies" ... my mistake. I had no idea that a miniature horse even existed. Now looking back I only wish that I would have stopped to speak with Mr. Williams. Being such a pioneer in the miniature horse business, I bet I could have gained much knowledge. Oh, the stories that I am sure that I missed out on. If only I could turn back time I would have realized my true passion before the age of 33. "My Passion" I never understood what that meant until a 30" Palomino stallion came into my life. His beautiful golden coat and white mane and tail won me over instantly. And, then when my mare foaled her first filly. Good Grief! I was hooked.

My Husband, Mike, and I enjoy the miniature horses so much. But, it is truly a family affair. My Mom and Dad have backed my farm in every aspect. My Dad and I have slowly but surely acquired the mares and stallion that will be the foundation to our contribution to the miniature horse community. We have researched and located (with luck on our side) some amazing miniature horses. We look forward to enjoying and having much success in every aspect of the miniature community.

Our mission at SSM is to first and foremost provide a safe and enjoyable environment for our horses. Whether someone is searching for the next grand champion or a great companion we have it. Our horses have daily interaction with humans. My favorite part of the day is anytime that I am with my horses. We have learned that the most important skill that a miniature can acquire is to trust humans. This makes our job of teaching skills from socialization to showing much easier. We strive to breed small, correct, quality miniature horses. We hope to achieve our goals, enjoy our horses, make new friends, and ENJOY ALL OF IT EVERYDAY! OH...and win a few championships!

Our bloodlines include Dell Tera(funny how life goes full circle huh), Van Huttenest, Jefferson Hall, TimberRidge, Freedom Hill Farms, and Sids Rebel just to name a few. Our stallion is a direct grandson of Gold Melody Boy. He stepped up from junior stallion to our herd sire this year. We can't wait to see his foals.

Sterling Star Miniature Farm has been a long time in the making. We have visited several farms and have been given unbelievable opportunities of purchasing some spectacular horses. We have also gained some priceless information and advice. We look forward to meeting and making more great friends throughout the miniature horse community. We would love to hear from anyone interested in our family farm or our horses.

If you are ever in the Midlands of South Carolina please stop in for a visit. Our barn is always open! You are always welcome. Please contact us at 803-381-2844 or 864-809-2095.
