Mini Appaloosa halter horses ???

[Lost Spoke Ranch]

Thank you for giving us a mention Clickmini!

Here are a couple of our boys that are currently doing very well at the top levels on both the AMHA/AMHR show circuits in halter, model, color, and liberty. Both are two year olds and too young to drive, but driving is a serious consideration at least for "Catch" sometime in the future. If you would like to view their show records, schedules/results, photos, and other spotties we've shown at the World and Nationals, please visit our show schedule and results page by directing your browser to the following URL...http://www.lostspokeranch.com/2007shows.html

Oh I love all the pictures of the beautiful appaloosas! My great grandma and my grandparents as well as myself have been breeding pinto/tovero minis since the early 80's (well I only have since about 2000!) and we have now gotten into the appys. It is SOOO hard to find a really nice appy stallion. I know because I looked for 'Mr. PERFECT' for about 3 years. I wanted a small, bay or black blanketed or leopard appy stallion with good confirmations and an excellent head and neck. Oh boy....it took me forever! If I won't buy a pinto stallion with an ugly head or neck then I'm certainly not going to buy an appy stud with one no matter how nice his coloring is. Well I finally did find my Mr. Perfect this spring. His name is Valley View He's a Preacher Man and he's my 32" Bay leopard appy with a great thin lengthy neck and one of the best heads I've seen on an appy (small jaw, TINY teacup muzzle, and big eyes!). He's only 3 and I've been using him for breeding on quite a few mares so he's lost a bit of weight but we're working on it! These are pics of him right out of his pasture not shaved or brushed or washed...but still gorgeous! He and my bigger few spot are only being bred to my very best broodmares for hopefully some very loud colored appy babies that are well put together and with beautiful heads!

I didn't show him this year like I had planned but he was shown as a 2 year old and was reserve champion in halter and champion in color in one show that I know of. He also took high point junior stallion for the South Dakota Club if my information is correct. Hope to show him next year!

Hi Amanda

I see you did get Preacher. He is looking good.

Hey, I am not sure if you are interested in hardshipping him into AMHA,,,,but I have hardshiped his dam in AMHA, so if you decide to, you can hardship progeny him for about half price i think.

I've got some appy horses that have done well in Halter. I am having problems posting pictures these days for some reason, but you can see them on my website if you're interested at magicmistminis.com

I have a mare that was shown on a limited basis as a mature mare after giving birth who took Grand Championships with ten or more mares in the class (Wild Winds Frost Fire). The foals she has had have done the same, with two of her sons by different stallions taking Grand Championships, one took a Supreme (Magic Mist Blaze of Fire) and the other has his Hall of Fame in Halter and went Top Ten at Nationals in Amateur classes and Owned Bred and Shown (Magic Mist Color On Fire). A daughter went National Champion Youth Halter (Magic Mist Wildfire). A granddaughter won our club's futurity as a weanling (Magic Mist Bonsai in Blue). These same horses have beautiful movement too, and all that have shown in Liberty have had their share of first places. I haven't been able to show for the last couple of years, but plan to get back out there next year with more of my appaloosas.

My first love has always been the apps. We are just a small family farm and I feel with limited showing I have done fairly well with my appys. Our yearling filly was Reserve Grand Champion at our first show. We show are local AMHR circuit and all our horses are trained and shown by us. With two little girls and a full time job, it leaves no time or money to take it any farther. Maybe once my girls are older but for now we are just having fun. I am at work right now and can't post pics but if you have the time you can see our horses at www.FunEFarmMinis.com

Little America's Kickapoo Joy Boy

I've never had the time or the money, but I've always wondered how Chips would do in the show ring. He has his own presence and unique color, so I bet he would have done well in color classes at least!

His one son "Crayonbox Chips Sunday Brunch" was shown one time as a yearling and took home blues and red in halter classes, but he is solid black. I don't have any good photos of him on my website.

I'm hoping to convince "Crayonbox Cash In Your Chips" new owner to show him in the future, after he gets thru his gangly yearling stage. I think he has potential as a performance horse. Some of you may remember this photo of him from the World's 2006 foal photo contest.
