The Cattle Show & Ag Lifestyles

Miniature horses are found all over the world and come in various colors and coat patterns. While they are the size of a very small pony, many retain horse characteristics and are considered “horses” by their respected registries.

Miniature horses are friendly and interact well with people. Maybe that is why the Monastery Miniatures have become a major tourist attraction in Brenham, Texas. The Monastery of St.Clare welcomes guests from all walks of life every day (except Christmas and Holy Week) from 2 to 4 p.m.

Since 1985, Sister Angela has been the monastery miniature caregiver. They have helped her develop an even greater respect for all of God’s creatures. These “little miracles” have been blessed with intelligence, a sense of humor and a trust that they will be taken care of.

Today, The Poor Clares of Brenham maintain a herd of 80-100 prized miniature horses on a 98-acre ranch in Washington County, Texas, about an hour’s drive west of Houston. In case you don’t get a chance to visit the Monastery Miniatures, Ag Lifestyles has brought their heartwarming story to you. We hope that you enjoy the show!  Watch it now at 24-7agtv.com
