It's Official...the 2010 National MultiColor Stallion

Toad Hill's Spots and Dots -

2010 National All Star Champion Multi-Color Stallion/Gelding Under

Spots and Dots, 29", was shown as a yearling for the first time this year.
He was also shown in Bred, Owned and Shown by Exhibitor (BOS) placing 3nd in National All Star 2010, the Reserve National All Star winner should be Little Dove, also owned by Toad Hill.
For me that is quite a feat, since I am not a professional trainer. I have learned by trial and error to show horses, have very little time outside of work to train, clip my own horses and show them myself. I have never felt comfortable in open classes so when I discovered this class I thought I would try it. I can show my horses against a more level field with other owners who raise and show their own horses. Yeah BOS classes.

Spots and Dots now has a full brother, yet to be named. If I do not sell Spots and Dots I may show both in Produce of Dam and Get of Sire, yes I have a third foal sired by Fancy Pants.

UPDATE: 2011 - Spots will come in 2nd to my other stallion: Foxfire's Picture Perfect and he and Goblin will be National Champions of Produce of Dam for Toad Hill's Kiss Me Kate and also National Champion in Owned, Bred and Shown by Exhibitor Stallions Under.

2009 Get of Sire Top Ten All Stars

First in Get of Sire National Top Ten All Stars is this trio of paints sired by Toad Hill's the Great Gatsby. The black and white filly in front is Toad Hill's Summer Breeze (dam is Wind in the Willows), the second horse is the bay pinto Toad Hill's Mocha Jo (dam is Excaliber's Typhoon Queen) and the third horse is the black and white pinto Toad Hill's Slate (dam is Wind in the Willows).

2009 2nd Produce of Dam National Top Ten All Stars

Coming in second in National Champion Top Ten All Stars is Toad Hill's Wind in the Willows, the 2008 1st place winner. This year's team is pictured above: Toad Hill's Summer Breeze and her full brother Toad Hill's Slate.

The 2008 team was Toad Hill's Paint Me Picasso and Toad Hill's Kiss Me Kate.

2009 All Star Multi-Color Winners at Toad Hill

Coming in 3rd place in Multi-Color Stallion and Gelding - Over was Toad Hill's Slate. See other photos of Slate at: http://picasaweb.google.com/ToadHillMinis/StallionsGeldingsForSale#

Coming in 6th in Multi-Color Mare Over was Toad Hill's Summer Breeze, a full sister to Slate above.

Toad Hill's Paint Me Picasso, Summer 2009

Both Picasso and Rusty spent the summer of 09 visiting the Amish family and have some fun learning how to pull a wagon and get riding lessons. Rusty's movie was posted a couple weeks ago, and here we have the video of Picasso. Picasso took right to driving and riding and is certainly more dependable than Rusty because he is less distracted by noise and animals that go by him when he is working.

Picasso is a well behaved, quiet stallion. Rusty and Picasso are buddies and when they are away from the mares, they enjoy chasing and sparring with one another.

Another blog entry can be seen -- follow link.

Picasso's Sire is:

Toad Hill's the Great Gatsby

His dam is:

Toad Hill's Wind in the Willows

Toad Hill's Slate

Let's start by saying: "Can you say Multi-Color Champion 2009?" That's what I was thinking when I saw this new foal who is 2008 model born to Willow this morning. Willow is a consistant producer of color and was last year's National Champion in Produce of dam.

So what about the foal? Born May 24 over Memorial Day weekend. There's a name in there somewhere, just haven't figured it out yet. Anyway I suspect he (most likely) will be a dapple grey like his big brother Phantom.

Kiss Me Kate and Paint Me Picasso are also out of the same dam and were the two shown in the produce of dam class.

So give me a day or two to really get to know this colt and I will write more.

Mom (Willow) below is having a bad hair day in the photo below, but how many moms look this good after giving birth to a 40 pound baby that morning?

2007 National Champions - Multi-Color

Well it was a long summer, but we were on a mission. Our mission was to win National Champion All Stars in each of the four multi-color classes that AMHR offers. I don't believe anyone has ever done it. The ad at the right appeared in the April 2008 issue of the AMHR Journal.

We ended up with three firsts (National Champions) and a 2nd in Top Ten All Stars...so it was close. So my question is: "Has anyone come so close before in sweeping this class?"

As a bonus we won All Star National Champion in Produce of Dam ... we figured out half way through the season that two of the horses were from the same mare...and started entering in that class as well.

Would we try winning National Champion in the four multi-color classes again...probably not. First you have to have four horses, each in a different category: stallion over and under 34 inches, and mare over and under 34 inches. Then there are other factors to consider...you have to enter lot of shows, (we showed every weekend for three months straight) and did I mention cost...there are entry fees, gasoline, hotel, food and equipment costs. It was a lot of fun, we met a lot of nice people and saw a lot of central United States...but I think in 2008 it will be one horse and fewer shows.

Toad Hill's Stormy Weather

Stormy (AMHR) was shown a little in 2006 and ended up third in Nationals Top Ten All-Star Multi-Color mares over. We decided her show in 2007. As a result of showing her the enitre season she ended up the 2007 National Champion Top Ten All-Star Multi-Color mares over.

Stormy seems to enjoy showing although she is a handful before entering the ring. John walked her around and around for at least an hour before I took her into the ring, but once the judge said to come in Stormy was all business. She would walk in with her head held proud, ears pointed forward (Kate would never do this) and almost floated on air. She was a pleasure to show, and I always felt that she was the best behaved, best looking and the one horse I always felt comfortable showing.

She will not be shown in 2008, with the cost of everything going up who can afford to show several horses these days. She is a three year old, and I think breeding her to Rebel should produce a really nice foal. Perhaps I will show the foal in the coming years, at least it is a forward looking, postive thought.

Pedigree:
Sire: Toad Hill's Oreo (32.00", black pinto, AMHR) by WF Flashy Boy (32.00", black pinto, AMHR, sired by Rainbow Ridges Starburst Cody-30.50", AMHA) out of Quincy Made Cameo (34.00", sorrel pinto, AMHR)

Dam: Mini Bucks Black Magic (34.75", black. AMHR) by S Bar P's Sir Prince (32.25, black, sired by Stouts Blackberry-30.50") out of Westwind Sand Dee (36.25", palomino)

The Phantom of Toad HIll

Phantom is the 2006 Multi-Color National Top Ten All Star Champion stallion. As you can see he is a good looking dapple grey pinto with white mane and flowing tail and beautiful blue eyes.

He also placed in National Top Ten All Stars for Two Year Old Stallion over 33" to 37" and Model Stallion, 2 & Older in over class.

But, what you cannot see is that Phantom has been kid trained by three little Amish children. They have been riding him and using him twice a week for the past year as the "school bus." Yes, Phantom takes the kids two miles to school and back twice a week on a country road in a small Amish cart.

There is more!!! Phantom's dam, Toad Hill's Wind in the Willows, is the 2002 Multi-Color National Top Ten All Star Champion (AMHR). She is the black and white pinto (with the bad hair day) right in back of Phantom. His sire, Toad Hill's the Great Gatsby, is a dapple grey pinto, AMHA and AMHR registered. Phantom is just over 34 inches and is three years old.

Pedigree:

Sire: Toad Hill's the Great Gatby

Dam: Toad Hill's Wind in the Willows

As much as I hate to do it, Phantom is for sale because I have too many horses with his bloodlines. We are asking $2,000 for Phantom, but if you purchase a mare with him we will discount the price for you.

Phantom was sold to a retired grade school instructor in Utah.

Kiss Me Kate

Toad Hill's Kiss Me Kate, Katey, is the 2007 National All Stars Top Ten Champion- (1st), Multi-Color Mare (AMHR) under. Measuring 30.5 inches (2007) as a two year, she is out of Toad Hill's Wind in the Willows (2002 National All Stars Top Ten Champion- (1st), Multi-Color Mare (AMHR) Over) and Toad Hill's Oreo. Oreo's bloodlines go back to AMHA Rainbow Ridges Starburst Cody. I hope this photo works okay, with the open door in the background, it is nearly impossible to get a good shot of the horse. Katey is true black although she looks a little grayish in this photo. The day of this photo she would not put those ears up no matter how hard we tried in the ring.

Katey has been bred to Boone's Buckeroo Fancy Pants and should foal in April 2009. I really hate to have early spring foals in Illinois since the weather is so unpredictable.

Because some have asked if I would sell Katey, I have decided to include her under this category. Since I did bred her to Fancy Pants, a roan Buckeroo grandsonsold she is offered at $3,000. If you do the calculations, there is a 50/50 chance that her foal could be a blue roan also.

Well the foal was not a blue roan, he was a fantastic black/white pinto. I have decided that Kate is worth more to me because of her potential as a brood mare. Lets consider this, she is young, measures 32.25" and has had a great first foal. Given her dam is my best producer of pintos, Kate may also to produce some nice looking foals, plus I now have a small enough stallion in Fancy to bred he with. I was worried that my other stallion would be too big to bred to her.

Lucky Four RebelChase RebelHeir

UPDATES:

Photos from 2012 - Rebel is a Non-fading black.

Until 2008 the stallions we have used were mostly from our our breeding. Toad Hill's the Great Gatsby has been a super stallion but we thought it was time to find one that could enhance the foals we produced. After a good deal of searching (mostly on the Internet) we found Lucky Four Farms. The horse we contacted about was sold, but there was this black and white pinto out in the field with the yearlings Wade thought might interest us. He sent photos, we flew out to N.C. to see the horse and bought him on the spot. That was Rebel with the funny name.

Lucky Four Rebelchase Rebelheir is an awful long name to dump on such a nice looking horse, but it links back to his breeding: Rebelchase --the sire Lucky Fours Rebel Chasin Rainbows, and his grand sire -- Sid's Rebel.

Pedigree:
Sire: Lucky Four Rebels Chasin Rainbows (32.50", sorrel pinto-photo to right) by Sids Rebel (31.00, sorrel) out of Glenns Calico Kitten (AMHA)
Dam: Glory Be Farms Painted Jingle (33.75, black pinto) by Glory Be Farms Chocolate Chip (AMHA) out of Glory Be Farm Rebels Lady Jingle (AMHA)
Reference photos at this page.
Rebel will be shown in selected shows in 2008, including we hope some AMHA shows. In 2007 Rebel was the National All Stars Champion in Multi-Color Stallions/Gelding Under 34".

Copied from Facebook - Aug. 15, 2012
All I can say is WOW! Lucky Four Rebels Chasin Rainbows! This stallion is amazing. I was so glad to get him updated photos because he looks better than ever! He measured straight up, square at 33". He is 11 years old. He is a World Champion as well as a multi World Champion sire and a multi Honor Roll Champion sire. He is a once in a lifetime stallion that is ready to put your farm on the map. Please PM me for details. To see more photos of Chase please go to www.starsminiatures.com. There are lots of them! I also have a video of him tracking and a pic of his bite. They are all good. He is priced at $12,500. Enjoy!!

Toad Hill's Wind in the Willows

Toad Hill's Wind in the Willows (AMHR) was the 2002 National Champion All Stars Multi-Color Mare Over. The photo to the left is Willow the year she won the title.

Willow has consistantly produced nicely colored foals. Included among her produce are Phantom, Kiss Me Kate, Picasso, and Breeze.

All Willow's foals have been black and white pintos with the exception of Phantom who is a dapple grey pinto. I suspect that he is a base black but the dappling covers it. Willow is expected to foal in May and it is likely that foal will be for sale or we may decide to sell her 2007 filly (photo below). She is bred to Toad Hill's the Great Gatsby (AMHA, AMHR). Gatsby is the sire of Picasso, Phantom and Breeze.

In 2008 Willow won the National Champion Produce of Dam. Her two offspring that were shown that year were Toad Hill's Paint Me Picasso and Toad Hill's Kiss Me Kate. Both were also National Champions in the multi-color class. When you think of mares, I believe you can say that Willow is one of the top producers of multi-color champions. As of this blog she has produced three in that class. We will not be showing any of her offspring in 2009 because last year we showed four horses and this year are relaxing a little. However next year, who knows...with Willow just having another great looking foal, we may be back and show in produce, color and get of sire as well. We currently own Kate, Picasso, Summer Breeze and new foal. Phantom (her 2006 champion) was sold to DeLynn Decker in Provo, Utah and will become a therapy horse. Good luck Phantom!!

To the left is a included a photo of her 2007 filly, Toad Hill's Summer Breeze. Breeze who is now a year old (I edited this blog in May, 2008) is looking even better and next yer most likely will be shown.
Willow's pedigree is below.

Pedigree:
Sire: WF Flashy Boy
Dam: Quincy Made Patchworks

Kate and Picasso

Kate, a two year filly in front, and Picasso, Kate's yearling brother in back, are both out of Toad Hill's Wind in the Willows. When we started the 2007 seasion it had not occurred to us that they could also be showing in Produce of Dam (two horses out of the same dam). Four weekends into the season, it finally dawned on us that they could be entered in that class. Frankly I have a theory that some paint patterns are dominant, and the pattern that Willow has seems to be typical of every foal she has thrown. The two looked like book ends, with similar patterns on opposite sides. Additionally there were within two inches of each other in height...this all contributed to them being hard to beat in the show ring.

I am pleased to present to you the National All Star Champions of Produce of Dam for 2007.

Toad Hill's Paint Me Picasso

Picasso is a black and white,three year old pinto. In 2007 he placed second in National Top Ten Multi-Color Stallions over. Picasso is a full brother to Phantom, a full brother to The Phantom of Toad Hill.

In February we thought about possibly selling Picasso but as you read below you will see we changed our plans.

Picasso is well trained for halter, very easy going and would make a good pet or project for the kids. Since things changed around here, Gatsby went off for training this year, Rebel was on the show circuit so Picasso was put into stud service with four selected mares. He will be offered as a proven stallion in the fall at $1,800 since he does not have the driving training his brother has.
