One winter's day in 1993 while Tommy and I were on business trip in Rome, NY we were watching a TV program called Mac & Mutley. It was a show about animals and their interesting relationships and stories with humans. That particular day, we were watching a segment about miniature horses that featured Barbara Norman of Winner's Circle Ranch of Petaluma, California. We were so inspired by her segment about Miniature Horses we made the exciting decision to change from raising Quarter Horses to raising Miniatures. We then sold our prospective Quarter Horse herd sire by "The Dominion" that we named "Dominion's Two Eyed" at the Palomino World Show/Sale in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1994 and waged a major search for information about miniatures. We went to the library, wrote Barbara Norman, and wrote literally everyone on the AMHA breeders list that consisted of about 600 foreign and domestic folks at that time. Amidst the mound of great info we received there was a video tape of the horses Grosshill Farm of Branchville, New Jersey had available that year. While viewing their tape of over 50 horses a tiny yearling colt only 24 1/2 inches tall, all haired up, (other than his face) caught our eye. His name was Grosshill's El Hombre Falabella! Hombre's first foal crop arrived spring of 1997 and produced 2 very colorful colts! One appaloosa "Lost Spoke's Cochise Warrior" and the other a pintaloosa "Lost Spoke's Running Bear".

Following the arrival of our home grown Bay Appaloosa colt "Lost Spoke's Winter Dream Catcher" AKA Catch in March of 2005 we decided to focus on our original dream we started in 94 and bolster our appaloosa breeding program. We also added two additional appaloosa colts and an appaloosa stallion to our breeding roster. One is a bay leopard appaloosa colt "CCMF Legacy's Legend", a red few spot colt "CCMF Legacy's Color Maker" and a red snowcap stallion "Little America's D.S. Dream Catcher". We will be crossing them on our spotted and solid mares that you are welcome to view at our mares pages to produce top quality, colorful appaloosa foals.

We are considered high desert grasslands at elevation 4200 feet. We do get snow, later springs, (compared to other parts of Arizona) a cooler summer, rarely getting over 100 and the view is fabulous! We just LOVE it!

Our horses spend most of their lives on pasture, so they are not kept in show condition. During the winter months they resemble tiny buffaloes due to the coat they sport. Sometimes when spring arrives we may clip some of them. They actually enjoy being clipped to get all that nasty itchy winter coat off and the results are, well ... everyone cleans up and shows quite nicely!

We also have a tiny toy poodle we share our lives with, and her name is Menehune. The name Menehune (pronounced mini hoonee) is Hawaiian meaning little brown people of the forest and is their version of pixies, elves, gremlins, etc., which fits her to a tee. She IS a little gremlin!
