What began in 1987 as a sister internship to the Summer Experience in Farm Management has since grown into an entire equine program at Miner Institute. Mr. Miner strongly believed in high quality education and registered livestock, so the versatile Morgan Horse was a natural fit. The few foals each year registered with the Heart’s Delight Farm prefix, "HD", form the core of the educational program’s mission. The stables and herd are used to demonstrate good farm, breeding, and training practices, as well as provide the foundation of learning for the Summer Experience in Equine Management students. Year-round events have established Miner Institute as the place to go with equine-related questions. Seminars, workshops, clinics, and one-on-one training provide vital services to the area’s horse industry.
The Miner Institute Morgan Horse Herd
Miner Institute maintains a herd of Morgan Horses as the core of the educational program. All horses owned by the Institute are donated, home bred, or the result of a donated stallion service. Our goal is to raise a few foals each year to carry the Heart's Delight Farm registered prefix of "HD." As well as our own horses, we maintain free leases on breeding stock to continue to improve the bloodlines and quality in our herd. There is usually a selection of horses to choose from for sale.
