Sulphuras Apache Promise

"Promise" is a Brown Buckskin snowcap appaloosa mare and carries the dilute cream gene. She has produced two palominos when bred to sorrel stallions, and her 2006 colt, CCMF Legacy's Golden Ticket, a palomino few spot appaloosa colt and junior herd sire (see him on the Stallion's page), is an AMHR Grand Champion & Junior Champion stallion, sired by Carousel Designer Legacy, an AMHA National Top 10 stallion.

Promise has given us outstanding foals when bred to our own Sweetwater's Texas Spotty (see him on the Stallion's page), a buckskin leopard appaloosa stallion of Hemlock Brooks Egyptian King, Flying W Farms Little Blue Boy and Komokos lines. These two have produced beautiful appaloosa foals, with Spotty's legs, body and hooky neck.

Toyland Celena of Castle Rock

"Celena" born a tiny 17.5" with a colorful blanket, she had not done much growing (still a petite under 28") , but she has continued to color, and look how beautiful she is!

The most amazing thing about Celena is her extreme Arabian strut with her tail flying in the air. She lifts her head and her legs up high, as she does her floating trot! It's a most beautiful sight. This is a rare and highly valued trait, which we hope she will pass on to her future offspring.

Celena was born with a perfect bite and has well balanced conformation. Celena has strong Appaloosa genes with both her sire and dam being Leopard Appaloosas. She should be a top color producer for us in the future.

Her sire, FALABELLA GUILLE, (pronounced Guy) is a 29.75" exceptional Black Leopard Appaloosa imported as a young stallion from the Falabella farm in Argentina. Guille has superior qualities which he passes on to his offspring, first and foremost, being a perfect bite, perfect legs and show type conformation. He has beautiful movement with his head held high and a smooth, gliding trot like artistry in motion. Most important, Guille has 100% Argentine ancestry, with totally different ancestors from most other Falabella in the USA.

Celena's dam is Toyland Cee Cee, a 30.00" Sorrel Few Spot Appaloosa, who is small and correct and a wonderful color producer, obviously. We are looking forward to great things with this beautiful, little Fallabella mare.

Toyland Blessie AMHA A139454 / AMHR 231246A / FMHA 747 Foaled: 02/17/2001 Seal Black Appaloosa with Mottling Sire: Toyland Portentoso Dam: Toyland Tiara Mist

"Blessie" is a lovely mare with a pretty head and show type conformation. She is a beautiful "Seal Black" appaloosa, with lots of mottling.

Her sire, TOYLAND PORTENTOSO, is a 32.00" Snowcap Appaloosa, out of PORTENTO, a black Appaloosa son of GROSSHILLS COMOFIN, an imported, top quality 29" Black Leopard Appaloosa from the Falabella farm in Argentina.

Blessie's dam is Toyland Tiara Mist, a 32.50" solid black mare, who is by Toyland Zodiac, a 31" Black Leopard Appaloosa Falabella stallion. Zodiac has produced many loud colored appaloosa foals, and proved himself to be a most prolific and valued sire, until his death in 2004, and became the TOP Falabella stallion in the US, and in many parts of the world.

As a "Toyland" falabella, who are bred to carry the BLACK gene, we are hoping to assure a higher percentage of intense "base colors" such as Black, Bay and Chestnut, which are highly desirable to us in our "COLOR" breeding program. Blessie is a proven broodmare. We are looking forward to great things with this beautiful, little Fallabella mare, as part of our Appaloosa broodmare herd.

Little Kings Classy Cat

"Classy" is the daughter of Buckeroo's Top Cat, son of the legendary BOONES LITTLE BUCKEROO, going back to GOLD MELODY BOY on the top AND bottom sides. There are not many stallions that are sired by, and sire, National Grand Champions, but Top Cat is an accomplished show horse in his own right, with great presence and refined conformation, that he passes on to his get.

Classy is a beautiful young mare, totally upright and having the leggy look that is so sought after in the show ring. She has a huge eye, balanced trim barrel, and refined conformation from the Buckeroo and Gold Melody Boy lines. And a BONUS - she has SPOTS !!! A "Little Kings Farm" "Buckaloosa!"

This is Boone's Little Buckeroo and Gold Melody Boy at its best for an Appaloosa breeder-having all the extra appaloosa characteristics a breeder wants to see besides just spots: striped hooves, mottled pink and black skin around her eyes, nose, mouth, genitals and inside her ears, with visible sclera. We are looking for some very special offspring from this girl, bred to our incredible appaloosa stallions!

D'Armond Bucks Bellarena

"Bella" is adorable and a tiny girl. She'll likely mature in the 28-30" range. She's got a tiny little Arabian head, and she is extremely, extremely refined (although a bit overweight!!) With her crème gene, small size and intense GOLD MELODY BOY pedigree, she'll make a broodmare extraordinaire!!

Bella is sired by the wonderful cremello stallion, LITTLE KINGS MAJOR BUCKS. Major Bucks is by the lengendary BOONES LITTLE BUCKEROO and out of Smiths Buttermilk II. Although Smiths Buttermilk II has an unknown pedigree, she is obviously a super producer. This cross was repeated six times and also produced the super cremello stallion, Little Kings Buckeroo Zodiac.

Bella's dam, AF MELODY IN GOLD, A Reserve Grand Champion senior mare, and producer of champions, has one of the most intensely line bred GOLD MELODY BOY pedigrees. She is sired by the lengendary National Champion producer, WITTMAACKS MICKEY MOUSE, the only line bred son of Gold Melody Boy. Mickey's dam, Johnston's Silver, is also a direct daughter of GOLD MELODY BOY. On the bottom side, AF Melody In Gold's dam, JOHNSTONS' GOLDEN GEM, is also a direct daughter of GOLD MELODY BOY. GOLD MELODY BOY is her grandsire top and bottom, and also her great grandsire on the top!

GOLD MELODY BOY, one of the most recognizable and prepotent lines in Miniature horses today, carrying tremendous Arabian type, balance and elegance. All of this wrapped up in a tiny, beautiful package. This pretty girl and a few other special girls have been hand selected for Silverado. We can't wait!!!

Teachers Pet Eva Gabor AMHA A67948 / AMHR pending - 32.50" Foaled: 03/12/1995 Smokey Black Sire: Lancasters Iron Eagle Dam: Zsa Zsa (Daughter of Gold Melody Boy)

"Eva" is a black minimally marked Appaloosa mare foaled 3-12-95. She's got a sprinkling of white on her rump, mottling on her genitals, and striped hooves-and best of all-SHE THROWS APPALOOSA!!

Eva is out of a mare named ZSA ZSA, a direct daughter of GOLD MELODY BOY!! Add to that, Eva was sired by Lancasters Iron Eagle, son of National Champion Komokos Dark Destroyer from Komokos Little Husseler, a FOUNDATION miniature stallion producer of National Champions, and Eva's sire comes from National Grand Champions on the top and bottom of his pedigree.

Eva has produced a MOST beautiful appaloosa buckskin colt in 2008-one of Castle Rocks future herd sires (see him on our Stallion page). He is Eva's fifth AMHA registered foal, but she has had colts that were sold unregistered by a previous owner. Four of the five registered foals are appaloosa-so Castle Rock could not be happier!!! GOLD MELODY BOY LINES AND SPOTS!! OUR DREAM COME TRUE.

We will continue to use Eva to produce those SPECIAL GOLD MELODY BOY line bred foals.

GOLD MELODY BOY, one of the most recognizable and prepotent lines in Miniature horses today, carrying tremendous Arabian type, balance and elegance. All of this wrapped up in a tiny, beautiful package. This pretty girl and a few other special girls have been hand selected for Silverado. We can't wait--especially because Eva throws SPOTS!!!

Castle Rocks Dancin' Spotty Style
AMHA pending /AMHR 294548T
Sooty Buckskin Blanketed Appaloosa - Foaled 05/21/2008
Sire: Sweetwaters Texas Spotty - 33.75"
Dam: Castle Rocks Dancing In The Mist - 33.75"

DANCIN'S BACK HOME--AND WE'RE SO EXCITED !!! This pretty feminine girl has matured beautifully! As a newborn, she was proportioned like a big horse foal (all legs, small body, trim barrel, dainty head). Her legs went on forever and her throat-latch was clean, her neck was upright and hooky like her sire's. All the "Spotty" babies have that "look" stamped on them with trim small barrels, legs that go on forever and beautiful heads with big expressive eyes, and this girl got it all. This is NO blocky-headed appy mare--this is a beautifully refined mare.

We are so happy to have "Dancin'" back at Castle Rock. We will continue to move our program more and more toward the buckskin and other dilute appaloosas blended with the AWESOME Gold Melody Boy lines. And with two leopard parents, we are looking forward to some remarkably spotted babies when she is bred to some of our wonderul appaloosa stallions!!

This mare is a full sister to our 2007 colt, CCMF Castle Rock Florida Spotty, who has received multiple Junior Grand Champion Stallion titles and Supremes in Amateur halter in the show ring in the past few years. We couldn't be more pleased! We look forward to Dancin' making her own mark in the show world by producing quality appaloosa foals that can go to the top!

AMHA A108952 / AMHR 218317A
Foaled: 03/14/1999
Chestnut Appaloosa with roaning and large blanket
Sire: Sligo Spotted Horse
Dam: Rogges Abbie

"Temptation" is a most beautiful chestnut mare with just the right amount of Appaloosa roaning to complement her gorgeous large spotted blanket!!! And we now own a beautiful cremello stallion to help Temptation bring us those gorgeous dilute appaloosas -- hopefully with her outstanding blanket.

Temptation is an own daughter of the famous SLIGO SPOTTED HORSE, a multiple National Champion sire -- a most gorgeous Chestnut Leopard appaloosa bred from Champions and going back to the strong foundation lines of Dell Teras and Stout horses. We are very pleased to own this beautiful mare, and all the promise of her future foals.
