Welcome to
Le Petit Cheval!

 

 

     

      We are Janet & Dennis Mattei.  We reside on 52 acres in the northeast corner of Pennsylvania which is a part of the Endless Mountain range.  We take great pride in the beauty and care of our farm.

      Our Miniature Horses and other pets are a major part of our lives.  They are our family, pampered and provided the best of care.  Always up-to-date on their farrier trimmings, vaccines, and deworming schedule.  All are stalled each night in our large barn in a 12x12 stall with clean fresh shavings, which they share with a buddy.  I am very fussy about the cleanliness and safety in our barn as well as around the farm. Our Horses are turned out daily in large fenced pastures with run-in sheds.

      I enjoy being a full-time horse mom, spending my days caring for each one and giving them the individual attention they require. My husband and I are Healthcare Professionals continually pursuing up to date veterinary knowledge on the proper care and health of our horses. A major part of our Veterinary Care is provided by Cornell University which is an hour and fifteen minute drive. 

      Our Breeding Program consists of all registered miniature horses selected for their Show Quality conformation, gentle temperament and National Champion bloodlines.  They are all double registered with the AMHA & AMHR registries.  We are lifetime members of the AMHA, and also members of the AMHR as well as the two Miniature Horse Clubs of New York State, ESMHA and NYSMHC, and enjoy showing locally as well as nationally. We have been very successful in the showring.  Up to this point we have been strictly showing in halter classes as National Show Quality conformation is our major focus.  We look forward to the future of our program to provide tomorrow's National Champions!
