Mom used to look at Miniature horses
and call them "useless creatures"....that was before we owned them! Now, she
says that even when she is old and grey that she will always have a mini for
herself. They are such neat horses. To read some mini facts,

It all began one
November day when a very generous family offered us their
miniature horses. They had previously bought
Sundance's Showtime Turbolina and
Chance of Golds Don Juan from the big state of
Texas. Mom LOVES animals and she loves us. Thus, saying yes to
the offer was easy, for a miniature horse was my youngest
sister's biggest wish (along with a Friesian). |
| It was love at first kiss. We quickly
found Miniatures to be such good family pets. Most of them are
very mild- mannered and loving with children. I finally have a
horse where there is no FEAR involved.
This was a
contagious love that hit all in the family. Turbolina, our beloved
mare, has excellent bloodlines and arrived at our home
pregnant!!! To view
Turbolina's
pedigree, click here.
She is a Silver Bay Pinto with one white spot on her neck.
She had never driven
a cart, so that was Jessie's first goal with her.
Click here to read an article
that Jess wrote on teaching her to drive. She learned to drive
easily and the thrill of driving made us more enamored with
these miniature horses. |

She also is very
sweet! To see her drive, click on that gorgeous mane of hers in the picture
to the left! The files take a while to download, but you can start them and
then go play elsewhere on your computer while you are waiting.
These longer uploads give you a MUCH clearer picture.

| The stallion that started all
of this is Chance of Golds Don Juan, aka Donny, whose
temperament was so sweet, we hardly knew he was a stallion. |
 |
|
This is how Donny
looked when we first cleaned him up. |
|
Donny stands at 32.5"
with bloodlines that are irreplaceable. In the book,
Miniature Horse Stallions, it mentions the incredible
blend that arose from breeding the Buckeroo bloodlines to the
Komokos bloodlines. That is our Donny. His Grandpa is
Boones Little Buckeroo
with his father being
Little
Kings Buckwheat,
Helmlock Brooks,
Komokos Little Husseler,
Komokos Teenie Jeanie
and
Gold Melody Boy
are all on his
papers. He is a 3/4 brother to Little Kings Debonaire who is the
only horse to every achieve both the Hall of Fame title as
National Grand Champion Senior Stallion & National Grand
Champion Open Pleasure Driving. That is remarkable because
rarely does a halter horse show as equally competive as a
performance horse.
|
Donny has a beautiful stride and
is trained to drive. He even trotted through the streets of
downtown Phoenix with my 92 year old Grandmother in his cart.

Here is Donny
in February 08. As you can tell, his coat greatly varies
from one season to the next. He is carrying the Buckeroo
creme gene! |
