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,

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.

Silver Bay Frame Sabino Overo Pinto, with

mare with lots of black pigment around her face and black eyeliner around both
eyes. Due to the sabino trait she has
white hairs interspersed in her coat giving a roan - like appearance.

Terminator, a double bred both Roan Ranger and Boones Little Apache son. China
was born the most beautiful iridescent coffee color with bright blue eyes. Her

may be a champagne. Her dam is
homozygous for black, and both China and
Rowdy Lass carry the cream (dilute) gene.
She remains a sparkling iridescent color in the light
which is a challenge to photograph. This is a correct, balanced mare that is
passing on her traits to her foals.

equally friendly with other mares. Her pedigree includes Rhotens Little Dandy,

saw her at Sugar Creek Ranch in

tobiano tovero pinto. Her dam, Dancing Cloud, is also a loud pinto that is

We have wanted to add some
Reeces "Hawk" blood to our breeding program for some time. In the spring of
2008 that dream became a reality. Bred by Rick and Becky Ferguson of Illinois,
Kitty Hawk is by a solid black, frame (lwo) positive, Reeces "Hawk" son, and out
of a chocolate silver Fergies dam. She has tested lwo negative and is a
classic splashed white overo pinto pattern. Her grandsire, Fergies Lucky
Medicine Hat is a splashed white tobiano pinto and we think that is where the
splashed white comes from, though her dam carries minimal markings. This filly
has a distinct, dark undercoat and a nice dishy head with dazzling blue eyes.
She should be a great cross with our frame and tobiano stallions.
She has tested negative for the frame (lwo)

Tequila is a gorgeous mare
that we thankfully acquired from Belinda
Bagby in Arkansas. She captured our attention as a newborn
filly. We love the look of refined miniature horses and Tequila had that
refined, beautiful body from birth. We have
always loved silver buckskins, and with this mare's added flash of color
combined with her outstanding conformation, it was a package too great to pass
up. She is a double bred Lazy N Red Boy,
and double bred Rowdy breeding. Lazy
N Red Boy's get include a significant number of National, Grand, and Reserve
Champions. Tequila's pedigree is filled with Cross Country bred
horses. As with all buckskins, she has
darken over time and is now showing off
her beautiful markings. We are looking forward
to breeding her in 2010, but in the meantime she has quickly burrowed herself
into our hearts and is one of our favorite mares. Her easy going personality is
certainly a plus, in addition to her drop dead gorgeous looks!
