Photo Taken: 9/09/2012 - The coat has finally shed...he is JET BLACK!!

TOAD HILL'S GHOST BUSTERS is LWO positive and HOMOZYGOUS black.

He is heterozygous for Tobiano.   The photos below are when he was about a week old in "baby hair."

Last night (May 16th), I got up before 10 pm to check on horses before going to bed. One on the lawn, almost exactly where Willow had foaled was Katey with a very long legged "tovero" (I think she may have both LWO and tobinao genes, will test for both) foal.

Since we did not have Fancy Pants around (the sire of her first three foals) last year, we decided to breed her to Avalanche, a LWO overo, 33.5 inches. Now Katey is 32" and it did worry me, but I was assured by vets she should be okay, since the mare biologically controls the size of the fetus.

I was very surprised to see such a tall little guy. Can't believe how all those legs fit inside little Katey.

Does this foal have a medicine hat, only one ear is black, the other is white.

Boones Buckeroo Fancy Pants

I have been asked by some: "Who was the other school bus?" If you have been reading this blog you may recall that Phantom was the mini that worked last winter as a "school bus" for some little Amish kids taking them back and forth to school two days a week. He would travel 2 miles each way, a 20 minute trip, twice a week. The other two days were Fancy Pants' responsibility. I have watched Fancy Pant pull a cart and he is a high stepping, traveling machine!! It is amazing to watch these kids with their minis. The kids ( a boy and two girls not one of them weighing more than 60 pounds or taller than four feet) swarm around the horse, hooking him me, walking him around, and the boy even loaded him into the trailer.

Surely someone would like to have him for showing in driving classes and of course using him as a stallion. Right now he is in with three mares, Toad Hill's Kiss Me Kate, Klavohan's Oreo Delight and Toad Hill's Buttermilk for 2009 foals at my place. Fancy was bred to one mare in Tuscola, IL and produced a blue roan colt out of a AMHR mare.

Fancy Pants is a blue roan and based upon what I have read on other sites, some may also say he is a blue roan bay. (I always thought bay was brown with black highlights, but what do I know?) I took these photos Memorial Day out in the field. The neck was clipped several weeks ago just so I could confirm his true color behind the winter coat. As you can see, he is shedding out and is a blue roan with black legs, mane and tail. Right now he is a little out of shape...or should I say a little over weight as the hips and neck would attest to. But he is now on a proper diet but still getting some exercise so in a month or so I have should have him looking very good.

Fancy Pants is offered for sale at $3,500 or BO. He is both AMHA and AMHR registered. I am working on getting him DNA qualified so that the foals he sired for me are dual registered too.

New photo added...taken June 20th...Fancy is slowly getting trimmer, have not used a neck sweat on him but now at show weight.
In the summer of 2008 a blue roan colt

Just for information, I am the registered co-owner of Fancy. I am not acting as an agent to sell this horse.

Pedigree:

Sire: Boone's Little Buckeroo Megabucks 31.5" (HOF) (Sired by Boone's Little Buckeroo 30.50"(HOF)) out of Dell Tera's Penny 28.25"

Dam: A A Fancy Girl 27.5"
I have added a link to his sire for reference.

Fancy was only bred once in 2007. See his 2008 colt.

Rebel Comes Home

Rebel, Lucky Four RebelChase RebelHeir, arrived home today after a long show season. For many minis, this month is the BIG month with many traveling to Tulsa soon for the Nationals. I have observed there are three groups of competitors amongst mini owners. Those that show their horses during the entire season, then go to the Nationals; those that show all season and then don't go to Nationals; and finally those that only show just enough to qualify a horse to be shown at Nationals and then just go to Nationals. Guess I tend to be in the show all season and quit, skipping Nationals. Anyway if you ask Rebel, I think he is happy with my decision. We arrived home about 9:30 AM, and as a ritual, I always let the horse out at the end of the driveway so they can run up, eat some grass or visit with the other horses before being put in a stall for a few days. Okay, I know..probably not a good idea, but I know the risks. After touching ground, Rebel noticed his buddies were in the lot adjacent to the driveway. So naturally he walked over to say:"Hi." Darn it, wish Rebel would show like that in the ring!!!
The guys on the other side of the fence seems interested.I often wonder if they remember each other. Rusty (white with sorrel spots), Picasso (black and white) and Stetson (large sorrel pinto) were all eager check him out.

Later next week Rebel will join the gang and play bachelor until next spring.

Oh, one more thought. Why is it, that these beautiful, clean horses have only one goal when they return from the show ring or after a bath?

As you can see Rebel has decided that being neat is not neat.

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".

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!!
