What a beautiful girl!!! "Cinni" is a beautiful chestnut snowflake appaloosa with a blanket, with a star on her forehead-who greatly resembles her famous sire: Hidden Meadows Missing Link, a multiple Grand Champion Sire! She has produced some magnificent foals, one of the most beautiful is Heather Glen's Nutmeg, a Grand and Reserve Grand Champion Senior mare.

In looking over the pedigrees for this girl, Castle Rock was VERY pleased to see that she is a Falabella Blend on the top side. Her pedigree can be traced back to original imported Falabellas from Argentina, brought to the US as part of the original six-horse hitch for the Regina Winery in California. Cinni has 1x to HNF's Senior, a "Winery-hitch" Falabella from Burgendy-the direct daught of CHIANTI, the "grandfather" of miniature appaloosas and Regina, both also original "Winery-hitch" imported Falabellas. The Falabella horses of the Regina Winery had a large impact on Falabella and American Miniatures horses of today. This is a wonderful pedigree!

As said above, Cinni's sire is Hidden Meadows Missing Link, a multiple Grand Champion Sire, sired by Shadow Oaks Paul Bunyan, one of Miniature Horses famous stallions--the 1982 Reserve National Senior Stallion, a producer of National Champion and Grand Champions. Shadow Oaks Paul Bunyan lines go back into the well known championship Shetland lines of Silver Crescent (1915), Larigo (1951) and Linwood (1953).

We look forward to having Cinni arrive at Castle Rock, to be bred to one of our Falabella Blend leopard stallions. We are hoping Cinni can repeat her performance, and give us yet another Grand Champion.
