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 34 registered AMHA/AMHR foals during his 18 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 for 2008, from this well known, established Falabella stallion.

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 have arrived in 2007 and they are little carbon copies of Spotty. 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!! [Co-owned by Castle Rock Miniature Horse Farm & Critter Creek (CCMF)]

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!

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.

Senior Herd Sire:

Wellspring Red Sky At Night

AMHA A144836 / AMHR 236598T / FBR pending
Foaled: 07/08/2003
Sorrel Leopard Appaloosa
Sire: Mountain High White Cloud
Dam: Piney's Tar Baby

Look what we found!! A beautiful RED LEOPARD stallion—so our leopard stallion list is almost complete!!!

"Red" could not be any more perfect - being Drum Roll's older (a coming 5 year old) paternal half-brother, and bringing the same FIRE and SPIRIT to our stallion line-up--with that same tail-waving movement, and arched neck prancing that Drum so proudly displayed at the 2007 AMHR Nationals!

On the top side, Red's sire, Mountain High White Cloud, is a producer of Grand and National Grand Champions, and this boy also carries some wonderful Falabella lines. Then on the bottom, there is almost completely leopard appaloosa breeding. Red's dam, Piney's Tar Baby, a black roan appaloosa with lacing, has produced all appaloosa foals. Piney's Tar Baby comes out of such foundation stallions as Davis Commanche (chestnut leopard), out of Dell Teras Jim Dandy (black/blue roan Leopard) out of Dandy Jim, from her dam, Piney's Tootsie Roll, a black leopard mare.

This boy is so beautiful, we may have to send him out to earn his place in the show-ring--like his baby brother!

Red is joining Spotty as a senior herd sire this year, and we have already started choosing his girls. Our 2009 foaling year should be an absolutely spotted wonder-year!!

Junior Herd Sire:

CCMF Legacys Golden Ticket

Palomino Few-spot Appaloosa - Foaled 3/19/2006
Sire: WF Carousel Designer Legacy
Dam: Sulphura's Apache Promise

"Ticket" is an incredibly beautiful palomino few-spot appaloosa colt, sired by Carousel Designer Legacy, an AMHA National Top 10 stallion in Open Halter, Top 5 in Driving, Top 5 in Multi-Color Stallions/Geldings and a Reserve Honor Roll in Open Country Pleasure Driving. Designer Legacy was also the 1999 Western Region Grand Champion in Country Pleasure Driving, and is a stallion with balance, fluid movement and the attitude of royalty that he passes on to his offspring. Ticket's dam is a brown snowcap appaloosa mare carrying the dilute gene. Ticket, a registered Falabella Blend, is intensely appaloosa bred, with the big names in the industry--he is double-bred Broken Lance, going back to Francisco of Kilverstone and Menelek, the most famous and one of the most prolific of the pure Falabella stallions. He also traces his roots to Shadow Oaks Paul Bunyan, Dell Teras Jim Dandy and the legendary Chianti.

Ticket can currently be seen in the AMHR show ring, and has earned several titles, including Multiple Grand & Reserve Grand Champion and Junior Champion & Reserve Junior Champion Stallion, and he was named a 2007 TOP TEN NATIONAL ALL-STAR WINNER (8th). We are so pleased he is continuing the "legacy!"

Sire: Mountain High White Cloud
Dam: Simple Pleasures Crystal Sky

Look what the Appaloosa Fairy brought! DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!! "Drum," is a most beautiful boy, with spots galore. He qualified for the 2007 AMHR Nationals, and stood 3rd at the AMHR Nationals in Multi-Color Stallions, Over! We are very happy with the Appy Fairy.

His sire, Mountain High White Cloud, is a producer of Grand and National Grand Champions, and this boy also carries some wonderful Falabella lines. Then to top it all off, Drum goes back to ORION LIGHT VAN'T HUTTENEST, the leading sire of National and Reserve National Grand Champions.

We can't wait for 2008, when he can begin siring his own group of spotted babies.

With Spotty, Ticket & Drum, the appaloosa foaling season of 2009 should be outstanding!
