Show off your appaloosa minis

[HGFarm]

Here is one I owned for many years, now in Texas....

This is Grays Smoke Signal, sired by Shadow Oaks Cock Robin. Bob, as he is known as by all his friends is a driving fool and one of the best horses I ever owned, big or small

By the way, he is not a black leopard. He is a silver dapple varnish roan with spots over his hips. It is the only area he has spots- not over his whole body like a true leopard or even a near leopard.l

And here is another I owned, Almost Heavens Keep A Copy- he also goes back to Cock Robin and was out of Happy Appy's first daughter.

Here is KC as a yearling, winning his first show....

New 2 Minis, Thank You for the complement on our Apps. I so this boy and

his babies.

Dawn, I so love this picture of your boy Broken Arrow. He is such a Doll.

[SIZE=14pt]Lost Spoke's Broken Arrow[/SIZE]

Thanks Vicki I'm glad Broken Arrow's gives you such a tickle...he's contagious you know!

: I took his lil bum pic when he was a couple of days old and it gives a glimpse into the incredible "tude" he has and how highly he thinks of his little self. The show picture is of him with my husband Tommy and was taken at the AMHA World Show a couple of months ago. Broken Arrow measured all of 22 inches and was the smallest horse shown at the 06 AMHA World! He is sired by Mountain High's White Cloud and out of CCMF Lily Blue who took third at the World in mare and current foal class. BA is her first foal.

Broken Arrow is presently in Tomball, Texas with Amanda Jones at Just One Training Center and will be shown on the AMHA/AMHR show circuits next year. His dam Lily is arriving today being delivered by Wayne of Sharrway Transport and we are tickled to have her home. Wayne will also be picking up CCMF Legacy's Legend to take him to Kriss Calao of Viadera Training Center in Petaluma, CA for the 2007 AMHA show season.

I will always love seeing spots!!! I can safely say I will never, ever, get tired of seeing your beautiful horses and am feasting my eyes on all the lovely spotties displayed on this thread! It's also great to see spots gaining popularity and being shown off. Yeah!!!

Thanks Dawn!!!! But u shouldnt have encouraged me, lol. Because here are some more of the gang! Wish I could take new pix but they are pretty much woolly yaks now so will have to make do with what pix I have.


Below is DD another homebred snowcap coming 3 year old. This is one horse with attitude! She demands attention and if u ignore her she will start to undress u, pulling at your clothes, untying your shoes, she is a riot.

 


This is Fancy another snowcap filly, she is the one on the right of course.

 


Here is frosty a born solid that started showing white frosting by 1 year old and her newborn filly. The filly was born solid buckskin but now has what looks like appy roaning coming in on her face. She was a later year foal so thats the only part of her that shed out. I dont want to clip her now so will just have to wait till next year to see if she is an appy or not but I think so!

 


Jolene and her 06 colt are both pintaloosas. MAny of the white areas on them that are spotless are due to the white pinto markings.

 


Joy snowcap mother of Chief shown in my last post.

 


Talker and her 06 son who are sold but I know their new family love showing them off!

 


Dottie, left, and Firewater both very pregnant and cute!

 


Lady and her 06 white butted appy colt

 


Tical giving me that look like "are u taking pictures again?" She has a lot more spots than u can see in this pix.

 


Like I said we love the appies! But we dont discriminate we love all spots, we have a lot of spotted overos too but I guess thats another thread.

Cool! I'll get Moon tested for silver, then - he might be homozygous! From the little online photos I've seen of Bob, it's been hard to tell what color he is! I do know that Bob gave Moon his chestnut gene, since Alice, Moon's dam is homozygous black and Moon isn't.... I just love genetics! :bgrin

Moon is still a teeny little guy - how tall is Bob?

My daughter (Ashley) said she would love to own a appaloosa like piano man some day with blue eyes, but a filly or mare. Ashley said to tell everyone she loves seeing all these nice minis. :aktion033: My daughter said she is going to start saving her money to get her a nice appaloosa someday with good bite and straight legs and etc.My daugther got her AMHR mini from saving her money for two years and making great grades.

Tony,

Ashley said she loves your Little America's Silver Keepsake appaloosa colt.

: She told me to let you know if you are reading this post.It would be nice if it was a filly.

Take care,

MELISSA :saludando:

Well, I'm glad I encouraged you and pleased to see more of your beautiful spotties! I can relate to your comment of loving spots of all kinds, but the appy coat pattern has had my heart since 1971 with loving and showing my first POA stallion.

: Our miniature program has also been focused primarily on the appaloosa coat pattern although we've been known and celebrate being able to color outside the lines on occasion!

Dawn,

Broken Arrow is to CUTE. Did you raise him or buy him from someone else?

thanks MELISSA

Hairican,

Your buckskin blue eyed appaloosa is so cute.Did you breed the mare back the same way for next year?

 

[HGFarm]

'Bob' is exactly 33.5"- his sire was Shadow Oaks Cock Robin (one of MY favorites) who was a chestnut. His dam then, must have been a silver of some kind.. I never got to see what she looked like but was told she was a 'bay'- silver bay? Who knows?

Bob has all the characteristics of silver- the white mane and tail, and has sired at least two silvers for me - out of non silver mares that didnt have it in their background either. When he is clipped for showing- he truly IS a glowing silver- literally! When not, his varnish marks, etc.. show up a lot more. His first foal I got from him was a silver snowcap, with a white blanket to his withers and not a spot in it, but he was even paler than Bob so was hard to see his blanket when he was clipped out.

Bob showed well in driving, halter and obstacle. I also showed him on an open circuit one year against ALL breeds of horses and he won 5 hi point year end awards for me! Am still using the 'prizes' from that- halter bags, etc... for my show halters, harness and all.

 

[rabbitsfizz]

This is Golly, all 28 " of him!!

He is Rabbits Grandson, and as you can see a little...erm, how shall we put this tactfully??

Portly?? in the picture!!

He is quite a nice chap- I think he is five now, or he may be rising six, I'm not sure to

be honest.

Since his previous owner did not use him for breeding (or so she thought) he has only

one foal on the ground- an Appy filly o/o a solid black mare- he slipped that past his owner!!!

Hopefully now he is back where he was born he will have many colourful offspring,

although sadly not for me- I am not an Appy lover first and foremost and he is closely

related to all my stock so he will be up for sale next year.

I am in no hurry- the home comes first, of course.

Thank you Melissa. We purchased Broken Arrows dam CCMF Lily Blue bred to Mountain High's White Cloud from the CCMF gang in central Florida last fall. I helped bring his tiny "tudeness" into this world July of this year so he's a native Arizonan!

this is our young stud D'arcy, he has done well at showing this year and is a great character, his dad is Kerswells Commander, who now stands at stud in the National Stud in France, so high hopes for this little guy

:saludando:

 

[Tammie-C_Spots]

Here are two of our apps- all ours are appy or appy bred. This is Justin (our stallion- he's a spotted blanket appy) and Saga (imported mare in foal- she's a near leopard). Both are homozygous for black

[tallgateminis]

Hi Tommy,

Thanks for the compliment on Dude!

I think he was maybe 3 years old in this pic and now is 5 years old. He really doesn't show in halter anymore. He much more enjoys his driving job! We show him here in New England in the A shows and Eastern Regionals and Nationals. :bgrin
