| Celtic Miniatures |
How it all began
Celtic Miniatures began from the dream of a young girl that grew up in Upstate New York.
She began working with Miniature Horses under Rainbow Acres in Ghent NY at the age of
twelve. Through hard work Cristal began showing horses for the owner, Shirley Steward.
Cristal travelled throughout the Northeast showing the horses of Rainbow Acres. She often
found herself being sought out by other farms and trainers to help in the show ring. This
gave her a unique opportunity to learn a variety of show styles and techniques which she
has put together into her own methods of training.
Cristal was married to an Active Duty Army soldier in 1995. Through that marriage she
realized her dream could become a reality. She found herself in San Antonio, Texas in 1999. After attending a show she met Judy Frazier,
owner and head trainer of Cinder Oaks Training. Judy was the lead trainer and handler of Miniatures from such notable farms as Alamo Miniatures ,
Bettes Miniatures and Hallmark Miniatures. Cristal began training under and for Judy and the fun hasn't stopped since. She travelled a 100 mile trip
daily for almost a year to learn and train some of the best horses in the Miniature Horse Industry today. She has worked with such names as Hallmark
Miniatures ""To Sir With Loves Boomer" (AMHA and AMHR National Reserve Grand Champion Futurity winner, National Reserve Champion
Senior Stallion and National Reserve Champion Amateur Senior Stallion- pictured above) and Alamo Miniatures "Locomotion".
With a strong Irish and Scottish heritage naming her training facility Celtic Miniatures Training was an easy choice. Today Cristal and her family live
back in upstate New York. Here she has begun training for local owners and leading a variety of training clinics. Cristal has also become a certified judge
for WCMHR (World Class Miniature Horse Registry). She was the first person to receive full certification from the registry.
Cristal has taken on Mountain Top Miniatures in Ancram, NY. Mountain Top Miniatures focuses on breeding top Appoloosa Minatures. Cristal also
trains for Point of View farm in Bengall NY. Point of View Farm offers wonderful little horses in all colors. For information on either of these farms,
please contact them via the links page. Check out the picture page to see the horses in training.
