Here are our broodmares:
OTFS Happy Appy AMHA A136948 Currently in foal to NFC Impressives Outrage for a June 27, 2008, foal. HER FOAL IS HERE--SEE OUR FOALS PAGE! OTFS Happy Appy, “Happy” to those who know and love her, spent most of her years roaming the hills of ME and being a mom and has not had a lot of human interaction. Because of this, she tends to be a bit cautious until she gets to know you if you are of the human variety, but she is a gentle affectionate mom and will mentor and protect any foal by assisting in the “babysitting” for the pasture. This Chianti granddaughter is matriarch of the farm and keeps the other horses walking the straight and narrow. She makes sure there are no disagreements among her peers and feels there should be peace in the pasture. Should arguments arise she quickly puts an end to it by asserting her dominance. There is always peace and equal sharing when Happy is on duty. It is easy to see just by looking at this beautiful mare why Chianti blood is so much respected. This mare has beautiful conformation and “horse sense” to boot! Happy is color plus class! You can see Louise, one of Happy’s fillies, on our foal page.
Bit O Blue Sarahs BT Aphrodite AMHA A156705, AMHR 258137T Currently in foal to NFC Impressives Outrage for a July 1, 2008, foal. Bit O Blue Sarahs BT Aphrodite, “Sarah” for short, has a pedigree that reads like the “who’s who” of miniature horses. Sarah’s pedigree features Boones Little Buckeroo, Ima Boones Little Buckeroo Too, Komokos Chief Running Brave, JTR Loud and Clear, Komokos Little Husseler, Komokos Dark Destroyer, Vant Huttenest and Del Teras, just to mention a few. Sarah has attitude, spirit and a sense of humor and is great at plucking things from pockets and running away with brushes when Mom’s not looking. She wants to be near you whenever you are in the pasture and will follow Mom and the wheelbarrow like her shadow during pasture clean ups. Sarah is pedigree and personality plus as well as the love of Chip’s life. The two are inseparable. (Not to mention she is knock down gorgeous and knows it!) Look for Sarah at the shows this season.
Indian Hills Rowdy Lily AMHA A136948, AMHR 251305A Currently in foal to NFC Impressives Outrage (shown above with Lily) for a May 14, 2008, foal. 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.
