Friends

This page is dedicated to some of the wonderful people we have met because of owning miniature horses. This is a work in progress and we will add more and more photos and information with time!

The thought of trying to build this page and to include all the wonderful people and horses in our lives has been somewhat overwhelming and it's not something that can be completed in one sitting or even in many sittings. So we welcome you to come back often as we will continue to work on these pages as time allows and add more news, more friends, and more horses!

Susan Oberg of Hilliard Horses to Hug in Wyoming is a very special person and a good friend of ours. Please visit Susan's website to see some of her wonderful horses at http://www.allwest.net/hhh

Pictured above is CCMF Carousel Calypso, a leopard colt owned by Susan and Harry.

Tommy and Dawn Thompson are breeders of beautiful show quality appaloosas. They have several CCMF horses including Reserve National Champion CCMF Legacys Legend and CCMF Legacys Colormaker, the only few spot leopard known to be an AMHA World Top 10 in Halter. Tommy and Dawn share our dreams of breeding show quality appaloosa miniatures.

Chandler Marks is the owner of 2006 Amateur World Champion mare Alliance Dusty's Feeling Fine (aka Fe Fe). Chandler also has some incredible moving horses.

Chandler has a Best Kept Secret daughter bred for 2007 to our very own Spotty. We can't wait to see that foal!

Visit http://www.royalpalmfarm.com to see more of Chandler's horses.

Mike (pictured above) and Terry Hlavatovic of Alliance Miniatures are one of the premier miniature horse breeding and training centers in the world. They breed strictly for conformation and not for appaloosas, but in the process they have produced some of the most beautiful appaloosas ever seen. They also showed Alliance Piano Man to his 2006 World Championship win! Visit http://www.allianceminis.com to see more about them.

Patty Wilhoitte is a friend of ours that breeds top quality show horses. She has many World Champions and even a Res. World Grand Champion in her breeding program or produced by her breeding program. We purchased the filly pictured above named Willow Creeks One In A Million from Patty. Visit http://www.willowcreekminis.com to see some of her beautiful horses.

Our new show filly named Ravenwoods Appasalute is from Ravenwood Farm. Craig and Bryan of Ravenwood are two of the nicest people you will meet and they own and have bred many World Champions. Visit their website at http://www.ravenwoodminiatures.com

Pictured is Piano Man with Emily Conder of Nirvana Training Center. Emily has shown Piano Man, Spotty, and now has Appsalute in training for us. She has a real talent with the horses and it showed when she kicked butt at the 2006 World Show. In her early 20's and she is already off to a great start winning many World Championships and World Grand!

This is just the beginning of this page. We will be adding many more friends to this page soon! Please check back!

Tim, Carla, Coral and Ocean Holcomb are friends of ours that live close enough to visit regularly. They have their own little herd of CCMF horses and we love to have Ocean over to help us with chores or to go riding or just doing anything horsey related.

Thanks to the Holcombs for giving some of our babies such a special home!

Pictured above is Ocean Holcomb when she rode in the 2006 Christmas parade!

Allison and Melanie Gay are our neighbors and have some minis and quarter horses and a few appaloosas. Pictured is Allison Gay (18 years old) working our very green appaloosa mare for us. We have had alot of horse related fun with Allison and Melanie. Allison showed our percheron gelding to many wins and grand championships! She has a special talent with horses.
