Less than two years ago, Debbi Sorrell fulfilled her dream of owning miniature horses. She and her husband, Roger, recently moved to the country, near Owingsville, KY, where she finally has room to raise horses.

Debbi said that after they moved, she saw an ad in the newspaper for miniature horses, and at the time she was only looking for one. Today, Roger and Debbi own eight; three of which should foal in the spring.

"They're like Lay's potato chips," Debbi said, "You can't have just one."

She said they eventually plan on being in the business of raising and selling their miniature horses, but that she will be very picky in finding new homes for them.

"I enjoy just spending time with them, grooming them or watching them run and play," Debbi said.

In February, Debbi purchased EquineMax to keep records on her horses.

"I was looking for a program to keep all of my information, and I had tried a couple of others," she said, "One was real complicated, and the other just didn't have what I needed. I downloaded the trial [of EquineMax] and I was really pleased-it had everything I needed, and now I use it every day to put in information."

Debbi said she originally kept her records on paper.

"I had to handwrite everything. It's a lot easier to put it on the computer, you just click a couple of things to put in your information, and it's there when you need it," she said, "You're not having to shuffle through papers."

Debbi is also looking forward to using EquineMax to help when she starts selling her horses.

"The person we bought from didn't have all of the information on his horses," she said, "It will be nice when we sell, because I have the pedigrees on all of our horses, and their complete background with medical histories."
Debbi said she also uses the task reminder in EquineMax to keep up with worming dates, and automatically remind her when the next one should be.

"It [EquineMax] is easy to get around. It has all of the basic things you need-it's a good program," she said, "I would highly recommend it to anyone who has horses."
