Castle Rock Miniatures
Proudly introduces our herd sires and junior stallions
Senior Herd Falabella Stallion:
Grosshill's El Rey
AMHA 29587 / AMHR 36469A / FMHA 354
Foaled: 08/11/1989
Black & White Pinto
Sire: La Ruina (Argentine import)
Dam: Cincha (Argentine import)
"El Rey" is a true 100% Argentina bred, Falabella stallion, whose name speaks for itself among Falabella breeders. El Rey is 31" and is an AMHA National Top Ten Senior Stallion. Born of imported parents, he has fathered over 30 registered AMHA/AMHR foals during his 20+ years. His record of foals is very positive with over 60% mares, and 80% pintos, many being show quality. As you can see from the pictures, El Rey has matured from his show days to a stallion of great presence, conformation and personality. El Rey has a sweet disposition, and treats his mares well. We are looking forward to several new Falabella and Falabella Blend tri-registered foals from this well known, established Falabella stallion.
Senior Herd Sire:
Sweetwaters Texas Spotty
AMHA A139672 / AMHR 255833A
Buckskin Leopard Appaloosa
Foaled 04/02/2002
Sire: Sweetwaters Gold Buckeroo
Dam: Kegleys Call Girl
Sweetwaters Texas Spotty is a buckskin leopard appaloosa stallion that is AMHA/AMHR registered and has the leggy, horsey look of the modern shetlands. He has a huge eye, balanced trim barrel, an upright neck that he can really hook over and a beautiful head. And not only is he pretty, but he moves like a dream! Spotty's first foals arrived in 2007 and each year he produces little carbon copies of himself. He stamps his long legged look, clean throat latch and pretty head on all his foals. We are excited to see his foals in the show ring. We are getting closer to meeting our goal of breeding loud appaloosa miniatures that are competitive at the very top levels. Even non appaloosa people look at our appaloosas and can't help but loving them because they are balanced, refined, pretty headed and beautiful!!
Spotty's pedigree includes Flying W Farms Little Blue Boy and Hemlock Brooks Egyptian King.
Awesome, refined, beautiful, spotted, incredible! We think Spotty has the potential to help take our appaloosa breeding program to the next level! WOW! Only time will tell so stay tuned!
Senior Herd Sire:
Tompkins Silverado
AMHA A 22991 / AMHR 99254A
Foaled: 06/02/1988 - 28.5"
Chocolate Palomino with Flaxen Mane & Tail
Sire: Johnston's Gold Boy (Son of Gold Melody Boy)
Dam: Johnston's Silver (Daughter of Gold Melody Boy)
"SILVERADO" - A PIECE OF LIVING HISTORY IN THE GOLD MELODY BOY DYNASTY!!!
DNA TESTED 50% GOLD MELODY BOY BLOODLINES, LAB TESTED TO CARRY THE DILUTE GENE!
DOES IT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS?
It took my breath away to be able to purchase this boy, and give him his "forever" home at Castle Rock. His sire was non-other than JOHNSTONS GOLD BOY. His dam, JOHNSTON'S SILVER, is the dam of WITTMAACKS MICKEY MOUSE, and is FULL SISTER to ROAN RANGER. THIS GOLD MELODY BOY LINE IS THE FACTORY WHERE THE BUCKEROO LINE HAD ITS BEGINNINGS.
Silverdo is the only surviving JOHNSTONS GOLD BOY stallion that carries 50% of the Gold Melody Boy bloodlines, as his sire and dam are direct Gold Melody Boy get.
It is truly a sad day when you realize that all of the Gold Melody Boy Sons are gone. These were the great ones that started it all, the ones who have brought so many of us together, and the ones whose legacy we will try to continue. To all the Gold Melody Boy breeders: It is not the end, but rather the beginning of what we can do to continue the Gold Melody Boy tradition. May GMB live on in each and every one of us.
Rest in Peace...
GOLD MELODY BOY 1962-1983
Roan Ranger 1974-1998
Wittmaacks Mickey Mouse (Mickey) 1979-2006
Johnston's Gold Bar (Bar) 1980-2007

Junior Herd Sire:
Castle Rocks Spotted Melody Boy
AMHA pending / AMHR pending
Foaled: 04/04/2008
Buckskin Blanketed
Sire: Seahorse Gold Melody Bar (Son of Johnston's Gold Bar)
Dam: Teacher's Pet Eva Gabor (Daughter of Zsa Zsa, Gold Melody Boy daughter)
This spotted boy is an ultra refined and pretty headed colt, AND he's got a wonderful pedigree to go with his looks! Just look at the legs and the refinement in his head, the beautiful upheaded carriage and the total elegance this boy shows! With his multiple "up-close" crosses to GOLD MELODY BOY, one of the most recognizable and prepotent lines in Miniature horses today, carrying tremendous Arabian type, balance and elegance, he is everything we were looking for ++ Appaloosa spots.
He is sired by SEAHORSE GOLD MELODY BAR, a/k/a Junior. Junior is sired by JOHNSTON'S GOLD BAR, A DIRECT SON OF GOLD MELODY BOY, and out of AF PRINCESS MELODY, who is by WITTMAACKS MICKEY MOUSE, the only linebred son of GOLD MELODY BOY.
His dam, Eva is out of a mare named ZSA ZSA, a direct daughter of GOLD MELODY BOY!! (see Eva on our Mares page) 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.
GOLD MELODY BOY LINES AND SPOTS!! OUR DREAM COME TRUE. We look forward to his future here at Castle Rock, bringing his beauty and elegance with spots, to future Tompkins Silverado fillies.
