 Indian Hills Rowdy Lily

AMHA A136948, AMHR 251305A
31.25" Solid Grey with one blue eye, DOB 04/04/02
Sire: NFC Egyptian Kings Super Sport
Dam: SRF Arabesque

Indian Hills Rowdy Lily, our lovely “Lily,” has a pedigree of champions and a disposition to match. She is a great-granddaughter of Rowdy and Hemlock Brooks Egyptian King and boasts a pedigree which also includes Del Taras and Vant Huttenest bloodlines.  Resembling a tiny Arabian with dished face and large kind eyes, Lily floats when she moves with the action of a dancer that is poetry in motion to watch. Carrying the overo gene, there is a very good chance we may have some pintaloosa babies from Lily soon. Lily has a blue eye and a brown eye and a heart of pure gold! She is the first one to greet Mom in the morning and the last one to stand at the gate to watch her enter the house at night and is the finest equine companion ever. Lily senses your every mood and has great social skills in dealing with her peers and us humans as well.  

FYI

Sadly, shortly before coming to Mom’s in 2006, Lily suffered the loss of her first beautiful foal when it was born “lethal white.” No one knew that both Lily and the champion pinto stallion that sired her foal were positive for the LWO factor. When sire and dam are both positive for LWO they can produce a lethal white foal which may struggle to survive for a couple of days but will, in the end, succumb and lose it’s battle to live. Many people are not aware of this and it is being mentioned here so that others will read this and have their breeding animals tested for this factor before breeding their horses. It can be a very positive gene in that these animals will produce healthy foals, often with beautiful color, as long as they are not bred to animals positive for the same factor. Though not all such foals will be lethal white, (statistics say at least 25%), why take this chance? Lily and her human family grieved for her baby. All of our Mom’s Minis horses have been tested to make sure that we never knowingly let this happen to our girls. The farm that owned Lily when she lost her baby was in no way at fault and grieved along with Lily at this tragedy. They just didn’t know, but now you do. The test is done simply by pulling a few mane hairs and sending them in for testing, and it costs only $25.00. I will be glad to share more information. Just contact, Mom’s.
