Our foundation mare is Tiny Acres Smokey
(Smoke). Smoke was the first mini that I trained. I had big horses before I got
some of my Mother's minis after she passed away. Smoke was easy to train,
considering I didn't know anything about training minis. She excelled in
jumping, obstacle in hand and driving, also country pleasure driving. She has
placed in the top 5 in every class that I showed her in. She was also
Grand Champion Mare at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. She was very gentle
and so willing to do anything we ask of her.
She even was great in a costume. I dressed as an old farmer.
Smoke had been retired to the brood mare band
for two years. But she was able come back and win in driving, jumping, and
driving and hand obstacle, with no retraining or conditioning. In 2004 we lost
Smoke to laminitis which we could not cure. She suffered with it for 5 years She
will forever live in our hearts and on our web site. Smoke blessed us with these
foals: Tiny Acres Alero, Tiny Acres Black Classic, Tiny Acres Late Morning Star.
Tiny Acres They Call the Wind Maria. They have went on to enrich peoples lives.
They all have special talents.
PLM Painted Lady (AKA
Lady) AMHA#A60216, AMHR#49601A, 32 1/2". Birth date:06/08/1994. Lady is a full sister to Princess. She
has been shown. Each time she was shown she placed high even with being in foal
and nursing another foal.
She
has an Arabian head and fine bones.
We started to teach her to drive. She was
very willing but because of foals, she was returned to the brood mare band. Here
she is with her foal of 2003. His name is Tiny Acres Idaho Lightning.
We use Lady and her foal for Baby Animal Day in which people come They got to pet her and her foal. Lady is such a sweet horse that she does not mind all of the attention. She gets at this time. We had one children come up and give Lady a hug around her back legs and she didn't mind at all. She just stood there being very still until the child let go. This is the kind of miniature we are breeding for.
Her grandfather Flying W Farms Little Crescendo was Reserve National Junior Champion. Lady passed away peacefully on June 24,2008. We will miss having her for Baby Animal Days. She was one of the kindest mares I ever owned. She loved all of the children that came to pet a real live horse. She was always live in our hearts. She made a lot of little kids happy. I'm sure they will remember her as the first horse they got to touch. Lady left us with these special foals, that can follow in her foot steps. Lady blessed us with these foals Tiny Acres Elegant Echo, Tiny Acres Frosted Boy, Tiny Acres Golden Buck, Tiny Acres Idaho Lighting, Tiny Acres Just Wow, Tiny Acres Painted Laddie, Tiny Acres Starlite Dream. These foals are going on to make a lot of other people happy. They have a lot of special talents. We have added her filly Tiny Acres Starlite Dream. She is now giving us some great foals. She is just like her mother her foals have great dispositions. They also have a lot of color.

Karen for
making my dream horse.
I have been trying to get a
foal by her stallion Boones Little BTU Crowned Prince for three year. I bought
Mya from Karen in 2006. Mya has a pedigree to die for. Her
Sire is triple bred Boones
little Buckeroo. Her grand sire is IMA Boones Little Buckeroo Too. On the Dam's
side she is double bred Flying W Farms Little Blue Boy. (Who was known for his
Arabian style head), also Roan Ranger. She also has Gingerbread Farms
Rapid Transit in her pedigree. We almost lost her two weeks after we got her
home. She got really sick and almost died. I'm so thankful that the Lord let me
keep her. I have her story on another page. Because
of Mya's stomach condition we only showed her at local show so we can take her home
at night. We showed her at the Eastern Idaho State Fair and she won Grand
Champion Mare. Mya had a beautiful filly by
Westwind BTU Crown Prince Git R Dun. You can read more about Mya filly on this

SPIRITS THUNDERS BREAKIN HEARTS
Spirits Thunders Breakin Hearts(AKA Thunder)
AMHA#A209684 PQ AMHR#314916A ASPC#161491 FOUNDATION#5514
Height:33 1/2" Date of Birth:05/28/2011
SIRE: D&S Fast Break (HOF in Halter and Pleasure Driving) 50% Arenosa bred and 50% Seth Thomas bred
DAM: Sundance LB Reyna De Suerte.(100% Arenosa Bred)
I was looking for a stallion to
breed my Shetland mare to for a long time. He had to be registered AMHA and be
under 34". I found this little guy. He is 75% Arenosa which is a plus for me as
I like that blood line. I like his sire D&S Fast Break. In fact he beat me a
lot of times in the show ring. Little did I know I
would get a
chance to own a s
on
of his. I got to see Fast Break place well at the Nationals last year. I'm not
sure of his show record but I know he has a good one. He has a lot of HOF horses
in his pedigree some are Shetlands and some are miniatures.
Thunder's Dam has been imported to Belgium in the spring.
I want to breed him to my minis so I will have minis that are 1/2 Shetland and they will be registered in AMHA and AMHR.
I have started training Thunder. He was not handled much as a foal. He is learning to trust me. He is showing me that he has a good head for learning. He seems not to be afraid of anything. He still has to let the mares knows that he is coming to the backyard. I really like his trot. He has very good movements. He should drive real nice and be real showy. He still has a lot of growing up to do. Here is picture of him at his first show. He did real well and learned a lot. I want to thank Alan and Dennis for showing him at the Snake River Miniature Horse Show. He did very well considering it was his first show. He got 2 Reserve Champions.
He really loves to play. Here is picture of him playing in the water. He makes me laugh all the time. He watches me when I come out of the house. He comes running to me. He sure has changed since I got him. He is very easy to work with. He love to play in the water. We have 1 foal by him this year. He is very nice we have decided to keep him and train him to be performance gelding. I'm sure he will exceed in this. His Name is Tiny Acres Thunders Rocky. You can see pictures of him on the gelding page.
I lost Thunder to a freak accident and we were not able to save him. He has foal to carry one his blood line. He sure will be missed. He was a great stallion.
