Brood 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.
Jet Black Calico Frame Sabino Overo Pinto, Right Eye Blue.
|
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. Her pedigree includes Deerhorn
Valley, Sonita Highlands, Arabays, Bay El Bay and Celebes. Tiara has
produced 
Evette
is a double bred frame overo. Her sire is La Vista Brilliant Remark, a chestnut
Frame Overo Pinto, by La Vista Remarkables Remarkable, a Rowdy grandson, with
Bond on his dam's side. Her sire now lives in the UK at Birchwood Farm. Her
dam is Ashley Acres Eve Was Framed, a black Frame Sabino Pinto, with a Lazy
Acres, Ohios, and Dell Teras linage. Her first foal was Pacific Cappuccino, a
pure sabino overo colt. This mare was bred by Jeanette McDonald. We are grateful
to Patty Wilhoite for allowing us to purchase this exceptional mare. 
Susie
sire is Sugar Creek Bolero, a jet black tobiano pinto stallion with blue eyes,
from the Bond and Gold Melody lines. Her dam is Rolling Hills Strawberry
Shortcake, a red roan frame overo pinto mare from the Flying W Farms and Shady
Acres lines. 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.
Combining two superior pedigree lines we are anxiously awaiting what Susie will
produce.
China
is the offspring of our broodmare Rowdy Lass, a Rowdy and Top Banana decendent.
Her sire is Sid's 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 eyes changed over the next six months until they were
amber. We originally thought she was a champagne, but after doing genetic
testing we think she is a black buckskin. Her dam is homozygous for black and
both China and Rowdy Lass carry the dilute gene. She remains a sparkling
iridescent color in the light.
Clementine is three quarters Bond breeding tracing back to Bond Commodore,
Bond Jocko, and Bond Showboy. Clementine has produced several beautiful foals
for us including Pacific Fantome and Pacific Lady Godiva. Her correct body and
legs are a great asset to our breeding program.
We
first saw Jasmine trotting across the Winner's Circle Ranch. Barbara Norman
told me she was 21 years old!! I could not believe it. We purchased her and had
people asking to buy her two weeks after she arrived. The Norman's kept her in
fantastic shape on their large ranch. If ever there was a testimony in how a
well cared for horse can live a great, long life, Jasmine is it! She had six
foals for Winners Circle, bred to their show stallions, and we hope one, or two
more for us. Produced by Linda Marzac, my mentor, she is a remarkable horse.
Though
Lacey was not born here, she was purchased at four days old, and she and
her dam were brought to our farm where she was raised by us. Lacey even as a
newborn was an elegant horse. Beautiful long legs and movement combined to make
her not only a wonderful mare, but a perfect broodmare. Her pedigree includes
Dell Teras, Shadow Oaks and Shady Acres. Lacey has produced seven foals for us,
including two spectacular colts; Pacific Mad Hatter and Pacific Wildfire.
Some
horses we find, and some find us. The breeder of Easter, Ginger Maloney,
contacted us in 2002 and asked us if we would be interested in this mare.
Easter is one of only two foals registered to Medicine Man, who is a Rowdy
decedent, and a striking Tovero stallion with similar markings to Easter.
She is also the grand daughter of NFC Rowdys Top News, a 1990 AMHA National
Champion; and Smithdeals Apache Kids Scout, an 1992 AMHA National Top Ten
Stallion. Both sire and dam are pintos and have a large number of pintos in
their pedigree.
Kharisma is the half sister to Winners Circle
Adonis, the AMHA National Champion and Grand National Champion in Junior, Two
Year old, and Senior Stallion in Halter. They both share the sire Martins
Dealers Choice, a multi-champion, and sire of champions. Kharisma has an elegant
body and head, and is a great moving horse. We are proud to have acquired her
from Judy and Bob Mathey.
It would be hard to express
the number of superlatives needed to describe Lucky Charm! She is beautiful to
watch move, and is as friendly as a puppy dog. We just love having her. She goes
out of her way to find people to nuzzle, and is equally friendly with other
mares. She was previous owned by Linda Baerthlein Marzac where I saw her at
Sugar Creek Ranch. She was then sold to Aloha Acres in Florida, and I spent
several years trying to convince Henry Horrox to sell her to me. She was a
favorite of his, and I understand why. Lee Crutchfield eventually convinced him
to sell her. We are very grateful he did.
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. Strawberry was a show mare prior to becoming a
broodmare. Shown here in foal at 17 years old, she has produced ten foals,
including Aloha Acres Terminators Hercules, a 1999 AMHA Reserve National
Champion. We have retained two of her fillies for future breeding. She is an
exceptional mare that we were lucky to acquire from Henry Horrox.
Joy's
sire, Samis Quiz Kid, is currently being shown in AMHA shows in Driving, and was
a AMHA Regional Grand Champion in 1998 as a weanling. Joy is a Rowdy, and the
1984 National Grand Champion Senior Stallion, Shadow Oaks Top Banana decedent on
her sire's side. Her dam is from the Bond and Stout's line. Joy is
another horse that found us and we are grateful to Ron and Gina Fritzke for
allowing us to bring Joy into our lives.
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 is a decedent of the
famous Sample, and the Winks Shodeo lines. 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. Angel has tested positive for
the frame (LWO), as well as the Sabino (SB1) genes.
Another
breathtaking mare! Blossom is perhaps the most elegant mare I have ever known.
She dances when she moves. She has an light Arab-type frame and an elegant head
with a small muzzle. Bred by Harvey and Mildred Levy, now retired from Bar Ls
Ranch, Blossom is the daughter of Bar Ls Dazzling Dude, a tovero show stallion
that won many awards in both halter and multi-color stallion. She looks exactly
like her granddam, AWH Bloosom, now deceased. She also has the Fishers line,
known for their driving horses in her lineage. We found her on the Li'l
Beginnings Sale Page. We wish to thank Kim Wende for letting us acquire Blossom.
Precious is a
stunning mare that was the 2000 AMHA Reserve Champion Mare as a yearling in
Santa Barbara, where she was shown by then sixteen year old, Jessica Wuoltee.
Her sire, LTD's Magic Man, has won numerous awards in AMHA, AMHR, and PTHA
National shows in halter, multi-color stallion, and driving. In 2000 Magic
Man was the AMHA National Champion in three driving classes. Her dam is pure
Bond breeding
Cloud
Nine is a refined mare by Bolero, our Gold Melody x Bond 
Double Stuff is a beautiful, correct mare from a champion
background. Her sire is the multiple halter and driving National and Grand
National champion Kays Calico (Bay tobiano pinto), her dam is Pistols Loretta
Lynn Fisher (a bay tobiano pinto). The combination has produced a well put
together broodmare. She has had two jet black pintos for us, and has been a
size reducer. Both her sire and dam's pedigrees are filled with pintos. She
is part of our jet black (non-fading) color tobiano pinto program.
According
to the Bond family, Tivoli is "I love it" spelled back words. We
love her too. Tivoli is another jewel from Lynda at Sugar Creek. She has
produced homozygous tobianos, toveros, and overos for us. Her right side is
entirely white. Her sire is the famous Bond Sir Galahad a black tobiano
pinto and her dam is a silver black mare. 
Celeste
is known at our ranch affectionately as my teddy bear because of her size, bay
color, and personality. Our smallest mare, at just 28 inches, she makes up for
her size by having an incredible character. This is another mare that
continues to surprise us by producing loud colored foals, that are far more
refined and taller than she is, and foals that have a lot of leg. Celeste has
produced homozygous tobianos, and toveros. We always wait for her next foal
with great anticipation.
Desire is by Justin Time, our
black frame overo stallion, and out of Celeste, our bay tovero mare. Desire has
a beautiful top line and tail set, with lovely features. She also has a great
personality and large eyes. Her pedigree includes the Van Los, Bond, Carousel,
and Stouts lines. We are looking forward to what this special cross will
produce.
This
lovely Lady joined our herd in 2004. Her pedigree is full of famous names such
as Rowdy and Boones Little Buckaroo. Her elegance was evident at birth and we
are proud to own her and look forward to what she will bring to our future
breeding program. For now, we are just enjoying watching her every move. We
thank Nancy and Don Richey for breeding such a beautiful mare.
This
mare has brilliant blue eyes which you can see at a distance. Brite Eyes has
been tested and does NOT carry the Frame (LWO) overo gene. Her sire is Dreamaker,
a solid white (splashed white and tobiano) tovero stallion. He is HNFS and Dels
lines in his pedigree. Her dam is a silver black mare with Dell Teras and Just
pedigree lines. She is a full sister to our mare Easterbrooks Dream About Me, a
loud bay splashed white tobiano tovero.
Panga is her barn name. She
was named by the breeder
