Lone Star Friesians - Horse Breeding & Sales

Miniature Horses

We have many friends that have been driving and working with miniature horses for years. They kept telling us how much fun they were having and how easy it is to haul everywhere. We were finally convinced a few years ago. We started with a foal from Texas Tykes miniatures named Hidalgo. He has since grown up and become our favorite driving horse! It is UNBELIEVABLY easy to just put all our stuff into the trailer and go. And we know what we are talking about! After years of hauling our big horses and carriages, this is pure pleasure. There are plenty of shows to attend and so many things you can do with your miniatures!!

We thought everyone should see how much fun this is, so this section was added to our web site. Keep coming back. We will be updating with all our new adventures.

Thanks to Texas Tykes Miniatures for having quality miniatures at a reasonable price! They are so honest and genuinely nice people. No wonder they have become dear friends! Everyone should check out the miniatures they have for sale before going anywhere else.



FOR SALE
		Rusty ASPC - Sharrways Hidden Destiny DOB: 3/2007 Gelding Price: $2500.00 Height: 43.5" Wright Up/Tempermant/Skills: As a 3 year old, he has already won: Top Tens - 2009 All Stars 2009 LSPC Hi Pt Classic Performance 2009 ASPC/AMHR Club North Tx Hi Pt Classic Performance Rusty will be going to the ASPC/ASPR Congress 2010 show. He will be shown by Martha and Suzie Sylva. I will post the results as soon as we have them! It is hard to believe Rusty is so young. Although, I do get to see his playful side when we are in the paddock together. But, the moment you ask him to work, he gets right down to business. This horse has heart and a willingness to do whatever you ask. He is an exceptional horse and we are excited to have him! Rusty will be coming home after Congress.



		Hidalgo AMHR – GMC Good News Hidalgo DOB: 4/2005 Gelding Price: Not for Sale Height: 35" Write Up/Temperament/Skills: Hidalgo is truly one of our favorite horses. Our first miniature and we raised him from a foal. He is super sweet and nothing seems to phase him. He is an amazing driving horse! Although he can be pokey if you aren't paying attention. His antics are hilarious. Mr. Twist was very unsure when he came to us. As any horse is at a new home. Well, Hidalgo was so happy to have a new friend, that he pestered Mr. Twist until he would relax and play with him. Now they are great friends, showing off together. They will bite each others knees and show their big "stallion rearing." There is nothing funnier than seeing them do that - remember that Mr. Twist is 32" and Hidalgo is 35". In the mini world, that can be a big difference. They keep us rolling!



		Mr Twist AMHR – Fort Storey's Little Mr. Twist DOB: 4/1995 Gelding Price: Not for Sale Height: 32" Write Up/Temperament/Skills: Mr. Twist came to us from Texas Tykes Miniatures. We all thought he was so sweet and gentle. I think he suckered all of us! He has so much personality and knows how to keep all the mini ladies in line. He will puff up and show us all what a flashy man he is. He has become the official mini mascot of Lone Star Friesians' miniature horse division.

		Icon AMHA and AMHR – Alamos Icons Painted Charade DOB: 4/22/2003 Gelding Price - Not For Sale Height 33.00" Write Up/Temperament/Skills: Icon is a genuinely sweet boy. We are hoping to add him to the driving team with Hidalgo. He is proving to be a reliable driving horse. The only thing that would prevent his addition to the team is his height. Icon can be pokey if you aren't paying attention, which is a perfect match to Hidalgo. LOL! We just had Icon gelded, so it will be fun to see how he plays with the other minis. He was so quiet as a stallion, that the trainer was able to occasionally turn him out with other geldings. Living permanently with them will bring out more of his playful side. We will keep you posted on his progress.

		Finn NFHR - Flicka's Finn DOB: 4/1994 Gelding Price: Not for Sale Height: 14.3 hh Wright Up/Tempermant/Skills: Finn is a prime example of the Fjord horse! He is a gentle, willing partner in anything you ask. Finn came to us from Colorado. Like a trooper, he has put up with the heat and humidity without a fuss. Happy to see me each day. Ready to go on a ride, when other horses are grumpy in the heat. Finn watches out for his buddies Hidalgo and Pacman. What big horse can you put out with minis?!?!? Very few. But, Finn guards over them and even gets involved in their antics once in a while. Rusty will be joining them in August. Finn is a dream to ride! His size and wonderful disposition allow anyone to ride him. We were told that a long ago owner had said he had driven, but the current owners hadn't tried. So, I took him to my driving trainer to find out. Sure enough. He drives and is very forgiving. Being Finn, he remembered everything, forgave my mistakes and looked beautiful in his cart!

		Taffy AMHR – Fleetwood Taffy DOB: 4/2000 Mare Price: Not for Sale Height: 35" Write Up/Temperament/Skills: Taffy is the dam to our first miniature Hidalgo. We were looking for a match to create a driving team. That is actually a very difficult task, as we found out. We were able to talk Texas Tykes Miniatures out of him. WOW, were we ever lucky! She is a great match and we now drive her as part of a team with Hidalgo. They are too cute! She has the stamina and work ethic to keep going all day. Not to mention we love her exotic Buckskin color. Almost a toffee color to her mane and tail.
