Here are our broodmares: Mochas Faith Of The Heart AMHA A174435
Faith's sire is Crystal Ridge Once In A Blue Moon, and her dam is Woodstock Norths Red Hot Mama. Mom’s Minis is so pleased to announce that she is on lease to us from Mocha Miniature Horse Farm. Faith’s pedigree features such names as Gold Melody Boy, Movado FWF Blue Carousel, Bond Tiny Tim, Sterling Silver, Del Tares and Hemlock Brooks Cock Robin. This beautiful mare is bred to Little Kings Dynamite Dream for a spring 2010 foal. This combination has the possibility to produce the ultimate driving horse they tell me. Who knows? But, we all love Faith! We extend out heartfelt thanks to Cindy Moses at Mocha Miniature Horse Farm who has made it possible for us to have Faith in our breeding program. Faith is truly a people horse that has brains and a wonderful kindness about her. Her excellent conformation, perfect bite and straight legs makes for a great first impression, but the fact that she is gentle and sweet to all endears her to your heart. Despite the fact that she is only three years old, she has managed to take on the position of Nanny in our foal pasture due to her patience with the little ones. Already a favorite with human friends due to her literally giving “hugs and kisses” disposition, Faith is a lover of all.
Mochas CC Cherokee Treasure, a.k.a. "Zena" AMHA A162354
Zena”, is a 2005 AMHA/AMHR Bay Tovero mare by Aristas Choctaw Charlie and out of NFC Cherokee Maiden. Zena is personality plus and has wrapped mom’s heart around her little finger – hoof? - already. Her striking coloring sets off her natural spark and animation perfectly, and she is at her best both in the show ring and entertaining her new family at home. She took home the blues in her first two classes for Mom’s Minis, despite mom being new in the ring herself! Her pedigree features the magical combination of Gold Melody Boy and Rowdy breeding. Her dam, NFCS Cherokee Maiden, a daughter of Night Rider and granddaughter of Rowdy, had a successful show-ring career before retiring to her duties as broodmare mom. Aristas Choctaw Charlie, her dad, is a son of Roan Ranger, one of the most famous offspring of Gold Melody boy. Truly, the best thing about this beautiful mare is that she has the sweetest disposition imaginable. Brains, beauty and breeding all in the same mare are not easily found. Our thanks go out to Karen Rudolph at Frost Hill Farm in New Hampshire – www.frosthillfarmminiatures.com – for making it possible for Mom’s Minis to own this beautiful mare. Also, very special thanks are deserved by Momma Cindy at Mochas Miniatures – www.mochaminiatures.com – also in NH, for her caring part in bringing Zena home to Mom’s Minis, proving that we still care about our “babies” even after they leave the nest. You can learn more about Zena’s family and see their pictures by going to Cindy’s web site. Zena was Grand Champion Mare 32 Inches and Under this year.
OTFS Happy Appy AMHA A136948 Currently bred to JBR Chocolate Chip for June 2009 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.
Do Overs Just A Little Sassy (Sassy) AMHA A142989
Do Overs Just A Little Sassy, (Sassy), is a beautiful true black 29-inch mare that is a Timber Ridges Navajo Dancer daughter with lots of pinto in her background. Her pedigree sports Irsul Vant Huttenest and Dell Teras with many of her relatives being 30 inches or less. She is the farm comedienne and is a joy to be around. First to be in line for carrots and ready to poke her nose into any offered halter, she is a true favorite of all who know her. Sassy is bred to JBR Chocolate Chip for a June foal. We are hoping pintaloosa. Want to take a guess?
***UPDATE

JFF Flame N Ember (Ember) AMHA A124464
JFF Flame N Ember, (Ember) is a Yellow Diamond Little Feather bred mare with an awesome head and gorgeous red color. She has a wonderful disposition and gets along with human and horse equally well. Ember is bred to JBR Chocolate Chip for a late July foal, and Mom’s Minis is excited about this match. We are working hard to think color for this match. Watch our web site for foal updates and pictures.
Hemlock Brooks Legacys Finale AMHA A61805 Hemlock Brooks Legacys Finale is the newest lady at Mom’s Minis, and she is a love. She is a 29-inch daughter of Hemlock Brooks Legends Legacy and brings with her a history of success in both AMHA and Pinto Association shows. She introduces color, personality and the Legacy line into our breeding program. Despite her tiny stature, she has a huge heart and loves everyone she meets, proving to be a favorite of all at Mom’s Minis. This beautiful mare will be bred to NFC Egyptian Kings Super Sport for a 2010 foal.
Bit O Blue Sarahs BT Aphrodite AMHA A156705, AMHR 258137T 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. Sarah was Supreme Grand Champion AOTE Mare this year.
Here is Sarah winning a
Reserve Championship at her very 1st show with the “old lady”!
Indian Hills Rowdy Lily AMHA A136948, AMHR 251305A Currently bred to JBR Chocolate Chip for June 2009 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.
