UPCOMING FOAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!
We were very happy to host "Loki" World of Miniatures Diago's Derby - AMHA/AMHR 29" last summer at our farm. Straight from Arizona to Alberta. đŚ Our breeding program focuses on Arabian type, AMHA/AMHR Under miniature horses. It was time for a tiny infusion on our elegant 34" Shetland cross mares to get exotic, outcross small fillies to eventually cross to our herdsire, "Spaz" Hunterberry Hill Simply Impressive.
Hopefully by using this tactic, we would be combining the Impress linebreeding we have already had success with, with Loki's Black Velvet linebreeding, for some truly genetically powerful under 34" foals.
Or........ at least that's the vision, anyways, and we are 5 & 10 year plan type of folks when it comes to our breeding program!
We are very pleased to share that we exposed all 9 of our mares to Loki and are happy to report we had 8 confirmed pregnancies (by ultrasound, last August)! We never have so many foals due (usually around 4) but this breeding opportunity only presents itself once. And what a incredible crop of valuable AMHA/AMHR foals they will be!
Loki is:
2023 Reserve World GRAND Heritage
2023 World Champion Open Sr Stallions 28-30"
2023 National Champion Open Sr Stallions 28-30"
I was keeping my eye open for a stallion to cross to that would be a size reducer for our breeding program. In 2023 I watched Loki show at the World show and I knew (at just 29" tall) he would give us a reliably "tiny" infusion crossed on our exotic mares without losing refinement, leg length, type or the "pretty factor" that we already have throughout our mare battery!
Loki has loads of leg, show expression & a compact body with a extreme laid back shoulder and a beautiful Arabian head. Loki is linebred Black Velvet which is a bloodline known for it's outstanding broodmares. We are excited to see what Loki will produce on our Impress mares and our Knight mares.
We completely enjoyed having him on the farm last Summer as our "guest stallion". We were very pleased by his affectionate personality and kind temperament. Breeding with him, though it was a am/pm job daily for many weeks in a row to cover 9 mares, was a blast. Thank you so much to Desert Reign Miniatures for letting him come have a Canadian Summer Vacation!
