How small is...

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Maple Hollow Farm...Love Spot. This past March I got to meet Buck Echo and he is such an amazing lil horse with such personality.

Thank you, Spotty was my first mini, he is very spoiled but I absolutely love him!!! We got to meet Buck Echo when we bought our Echo, we still cant get over how much our Echo looks like his magnificent sire!

My smallest mature horse here on the farm is Country Hills Dreamers Little Red, 28.25". She's in foal to Redrock Magic Maker 30" for March.

I also leased out to a show home, Redrock In The Red, a tiny coming 3 yr old chestnut pinto stallion. He's currently only 26.25" tall and looks to mature very small.

We have a lot of little ones!

Doves Buckeroos Golden Dream-27.75" Palomino LK Supreme Dream son, upcoming 4 yr. old. Will be showing in 28" and under sr. stallions in 2011! We have 3 mares in foal to him, 2 of which are just 28"

**excuse this pic, it was taken after a week straight of rain!

This is a 28.25" upcoming 2 yr. old colt. He's very mature and I think he'll top out at 29" max

This is an upcoming 3 yr. old mare that is just 27.25". She is so refined that it makes her look even smaller

Here is a 28.25" 9 year old chestnut splash mare:

And just because I LOVE this picture so much...the little 28.25" upcoming 2 yr. old playing with our little weanling appaloosa colt that is on track to mature in the 28"-29" range. The head of his dam is also in the picture (she's in all of the pictures and just hilarious-she looks SO upset with their antics) is just 28" and one of our best broodmares

I have a bunch of others in the 28"-29" range, but need to get updated pictures

[O So]

Wow!! I just love them all! My smallest ones are around 31" tall. This is my stallion, Levi aka Fabio. He is a silver brown and I think he is gorgeous!! lol

I just love, love, love, his mane and forelock!! I so want O So's to get that long! He keeps rubbing it and breaking hairs though! Uggghhh!

our stallion cash is the smallest besides the foals from this year. he is just under 31 inches tall . i have a filly that was born this year that is looking to mature at 30

Here is our smallest stallion - Shorty - who we just purchased from Iona this year. He is 27.5" and is pictured both in show shape and out to pasture this summer:

We have two other under 30" stallions on the farm. Our smallest mature mare is 28.5", but as of tomorrow she will be mine no more.

I've retained her 2009 filly though, and expect her to mature about the same size. Here she is as a 27" yearling:

I just absolutely love looking at all the small ones there are out there! It seems we don't hear much about them untill someone starts a thread like this and suddenly we see how many really nice little ones there are.

Here are some of mine....of course, I couldn't miss out on this.

Cowboy, 25 1/2"

Some Cowboy kids:

Buttons N Bows, 29"

Daniela, 27 3/4"

Oooh La La, 28 3/4"

Now we are getting a lot of small ... as in under 30"...from Skipper bred to Cowboy daughters. this year we have a Skipper daughter bred to Cowboy which is a first for us and we are SO excited to see this one!

I can't remember the numbers, but a high percentage of Cowboy's foals have gone into the show ring and everyone of those has been World or National Champion, Reserve Champion or Top Ten. It just goes to show that horses don't have to be tall to be really really good.

So glad you added Cowboy he's the first who comes to mind with small and handsome.

 

[Tremor]

Well, I've looked through this entire thread, and I didn't see one dwarf, lol. Well, I must share my dwarves because they are truly short.

Connor- 4 month old Silver Black Appaloosa Filly 22'' tall. (25'' estimated.)

Teddy- 4 year old Chestnut Appaloosa Gelding 25'' tall.

These two were born on our farm and accidental breedings. Not something we're proud of, but we're glad that we have two beautiful foals with wonderful personalities a like.

Connor has become my inspiration in life. I hope to become a certified NARHA Therapeutic Riding Instructor. I ahve taken Connor to school and to a Christmas Parade already in her short life and I think she'll be a great therapy horse!

Our smallest adult mini is one of our perlino BTU mares, Erica's Sweet as Sugar, a/k/a Sweetie. She's about 30" high and is currently in foal to our National Champion (halter) / Reserve National Grand Champion (driving), Halter Hall of Fame all around marshmallow of a stallion, Destiny. A repeat breeding of the foal she's pictured with below.

Here's our smallest, Misty.. She's sort of our mascot and has done parades etc. with us, she's our weanling babysitter, farm clown/show off and everyone who meets her falls in love with her.. I believe she's right around 29" tall.. We had bought her dam in foal with her and to our surprise she foaled early on April Fool's Day 2006 before we even brought her home.. Unfortunately when the filly was a week old we lost her dam and through the help of members here and other horsie friends we raised the filly as a bucket baby and she's a healthy happy coming 5 year old (OMG

where does time go!?!?!)
