Brood Mares:
(Scroll down to see all the mares)

Since we began breeding miniature horses we have sought out colorful marked patterns, and mostly black pintos for our breeding. Knowing that half of the genes are past on to the offspring from the mare, the broodmares we chose, as well as those we kept from our own breeding, had to be unique. We have been frequently asked for photos of the dams of our foals. Here at last are our treasured broodmares.



Van Los Angel In Calico 33.25 inches Perm.  A 76156 / R 205433A
Jet Black Calico Frame Sabino Overo Pinto, Right Eye Blue.

This stunning horse was owned by my mentor, Lynda Barthlein Marzac, for several years before Lynda (Sugar Creek Ranch) retired from miniature horse breeding. I coveted this mare from the moment I saw her walking across the field. We were very fortunate to acquire Angel. Bred by Lois Myler, Angel's sire is the well known Van Los Paleface, a decedent of the famous Sample. Her sire's pedigree also includes The Wink's line including Shodeo Time, and Showdeo Kid. The dam's line also includes the Wink's lines and additionally, Silverdales and Hillwickes. Lois Myler rebred Angel's sire and dam several times, but was never able to recreate any foal like Angel. She is a unique, one of a kind horse, which we treasure. She is art in motion.

Angel has tested positive for the frame (LWO), as well as the Sabino (SB1) overo genes, and negative for the tobiano, and silver genes. We believe she is carrying multiple sabino genes.

Angel is the dam of Pacific Justin Time, our black frame overo stallion, as well as many other beautiful foals.

Sire: Van Los Paleface
Dam: Mylers Angel



Forester Creek Tiara 30.75 inches. A 94871
Bay Frame Sabino Overo Pinto, with Blue Eyes. Homozygous for Black.

Tiara was born with two red ears and a small red crescent on her forehead. Otherwise she appears white. She has been lab tested and has been shown to be genetically a bay, frame (LWO), sabino, who is homozygous for black. She can never produce a chestnut foal. When she is wet a large number of black speckles appear on her skin due to the sabino gene. She also has a number of black patches on her muzzle. Tiara has produced four frame overos, and a sabino pinto foal thus far. She is very strong genetically for the frame gene.

Tiara has been tested and is Frame (LWO), and Sabino (SB1) positive, and homozygous for Black. She is negative for Silver, and Tobiano.

Her pedigree includes: Celebes, Bay El Bay, Dearhorn Valley, Arabays, Sonita Highlands, Shadow Oaks, Legendary Baldy, Bond, Komokos, and Soats.

Sire: Forester Creeks Rag Time Blue

Rolling Hills Strawberry Shortcake 33.25 inches. A 24478 R 30604 A
Chestnut Frame Overo Pinto.

Strawberry was the top selling mare at The Miniature Horse Event in Texas in 1997 where she was purchased for over $20,000 by Aloha Ashly Acres. She was in foal to the famous stallion Roan Ranger. Shown here in foal at 20 years old, she has produced twelve foals, including several well known stallions: Aloha Acres Terminators Hercules, a 1999 AMHA Reserve National Champion; Aloha Acres Magic Marker, a two - time top ten AMHA National Champion Stallion owned by Olympian Ranch; and Aloha Acres A Touch of Magic. We have retained two of her foals for future breeding. She is an exceptional mare that we were lucky to acquire from Henry Horrox at Aloha Acres. Her pedigree includes Cajun Cowboy, Flying M Cowboy, Flying W Farms, Kraus Kings Julianne, and Shady Acres.

Strawberry has tested Frame (LWO) positive, and Sabino (sb1) negative. As she has never thrown a roan foal, so we believe she is carrying some other sabino pinto genes.

Sire: Cajun Cowboy

This mare was bred by Jeanette McDonald. We are grateful to Patty Wilhoite for allowing us to purchase this exceptional mare.

She is the most unusual iridescent color and may be a champagne. Her dam is homozygous for black, and both China and Rowdy Lass carry the cream (dilute) gene.
