Meet the Ladies

Dent Painted Belle

AMHA A 63642 34.00"

AMHR 213130A

May 25, 1994

sire: Bond in the Chips 30.5" dam: Tina 34"

Belle was our first miniature mare. She came to us pregnant. They sold her because she kept having sorrel colts and they wanted spotted ones. Our first baby was a black and white pinto filly!! The second foal we had with her was also a pinto filly. Then the third, the fourth, the fifth.......must be something in the water........ Belle is a wonderful broodmare. She settles on 1 breeding, usually, and delivers by herself without giving you any signs she is close. I think she prefers to do this all privately.

Savannah Moon

aka: Toot

AMHA A 114564 29.25"

dob: May 8, 2000

sire: Dent Tom Thumb 30" dam: Dent Painted Belle 34"

Savannah was our first foal. She has quite the attitude. She had colic surgery in Feb.'02. She did great. The vet says it is probably because of her attitude that she did so good. Now we have to keep a close eye on her so that she doesn't do it again. Since she was our first foal, I'll do all I can to keep her around. Since she is prone to colic issues we will never breed her. She will just be our sweet Savannie and live out her life here. She has become the "Boss Mare" of the young ones. I think she kind of likes it even though she does get tired of them following her everywhere. It's cute to see her little herd running around.

On May 23, 2007 Savannah received a severe eye injury and lost the use of her left eye. The photos are gruesome so if you have a weak stomach....don't look!

Little Americas Buckeroo Gal

aka: Gal

AMHA A 123947 34"

AMHR 255780A

dob: May 15, 2001

sire: Little Kings Bingo Buckeroo 29.0" dam: G ES Sara 33.25"

I bought Gal as a yearling. I purchased her specifically to breed to Tommy. She thought she was ready as a 2 yr old but I wanted to wait a while and show her. She finally had her first foal for us in 2008 and BOY was he worth the wait. See Mouse on the "sold" page.

R Hossy N Das Princess Red Feather

a.k.a. Feather

AMHA A 66369 32.5"

AMHR 255779A

Sire: CC King of Hearts 29" dam: R Hossy N Das Mariah 31.25"

dob: May 5, 1994

I found Feather on the Internet. She was a deal I couldn't pass up. She is a really nice mare with a beautiful head. She is a solid chestnut that I think will make a nice cross with Tommy. She is a sweet girl, easy going, gentle and the foals she has had a really nice foals. Her first mule was a little doll!

McSperitts Cutters Cantata

aka: Katy

AMHA A 53953 32"

dob: May 01, 1993

sire: Pineys Grass Cutter 29.5" dam: McSperitts Symphonette 33.25"

Sienna is a middle aged mare but is still breeding sound. She had a filly in 2008 that looked almost identical to herself. She is a sweet mare but isn't a "pocket pet". She doesn't mind being loved on but doesn't demand it either. She was shown as a younger horse and did well with a youth. She has produced several show quality foals. We're happy to add her to our herd and see what we can do with her. She's very happy here with all the attention and room to romp.

DNA tested to be LWO-. This means she can be bred to any stallion without worry.

Morning Moons Streak of Luck

aka: Streak

AMHA A 117536 33.5"

AMHR 203738A

dob: May 6, 2000

sire: Bryland Farms Grey Luck 32.5" dam: Sweet Sue's Spring/Morning Moons Susie Q 33.25"

Talk about unusual color. She is registered as gray on one registry and buckskin on the other......hmmmmm. She's sweet either way. Her foal has a cream gene so she has to be a Smokey Black under there somewhere.

DNA tested to see what she really is.

Red/Black = Ee = Heterozygous. She is black based but does carry a recessive copy of the red gene.

Agouti = aa = Non-agouti, she will not throw bays.

Cream Dilution = nCr = Heterozygous. She carries one copy of the cream dilution gene.

Silver Dilution = nZ = Heterozygous. She carries one copy of the silver dilution gene.

SO, this means she is a Silver Smokey Black Roan.....officially!
