"NFC Dandys Encore"

Our premier herd sire and son of the legendary national Champion "Rhotons Little Dandy" who sadly passed away in early 2000 leaving behind a legacy of many Champion get in halter and driving. "Dandy" was so notable due to his EXTREME floating action and attitude setting the standard for what all driving horses are judged by today, he was famous for his ability to pass these traits onto his get, a horse way ahead of his time he will be sorely missed.

Thankfully their are prolific get such as "Encore" to continue the "Dandy" legacy for future generations to enjoy.

"NFC Dandys Encore" became our Sr. herd sire in late 1996, in 1997 we returned the 'old man to the show ring with us, his first since being shown as a 2 year old in 1992. It was quickly apparent he had lost nothing as at his first show he went Reserve Grand Champion in Halter, we were ecstatic being Amateurs showing against professional trainers! He continued to rack up points, wins, and official Titles quickly with us that year. "Encore" is a multiple Supreme and Grand Champion, he placed 3rd at the AMHA Nationals in 1991 as a yearling out of 72 horses, many that are now highly regarded in our breed I might add, finished behind him. In 1992 he was lightly shown and was a Top 10 Honor Roll winner.

When we exhibited him in 1997 he received his Register of Merit in Multicolor Stallions and also in Liberty only is 2nd time out!! He qualified and received the prestigious "AMHA Champion" Certificate which is awarded to horses who have excelled in 3 events. He then went on to place in the Top 5 at the prestigious AMHA Eastern Regionals in both his Halter and Liberty classes. He also was awarded First under 2 of 3 judges at the "Julep Cup" show out of a huge class. Needless to say, it was a VERY good year!

"Did somebody say TROT? I may be still in my winter coat but how do ya like this foot work?"

"I may be less than 30" tall but I have the power, extension, speed and drive that horses much larger rarely achieve!"

"Encore's" greatest gift lies in his ability to consistently pass on his elegant floating action, winning halter conformation, color, and "Look at Me" attitude to his foals. Standing only 29.75" he is one of the smaller "Dandy" sons, a beautiful silver dapple bay pinto with a gentle, willing disposition and animated high stepping action that leaves a lasting impression!

Magic Mans Red Rocket

Meet our Junior Herdsire AMHA/AMHR "Magic Mans Red Rocket" a TRUE 5th generation line bred Overo 1999 colt. He is a beautiful frame/sabino and it is very interesting to see how his pattern has continued to grow and spread!

We searched extensively for an overo with the refinement, animation, correctness, attitude, and small size we wanted and one look at "Rocky" and we knew our search was over.

His famous sire "LTDS Magic Man" is definitely one of the loudest black FRAME overos alive with an unsurpassed number of National Titles himself and through his get bar none! "Rocket's" dam is a "Komokos Little Hussler" grand daughter which has nothing over 30" on her paper but for one granddam.

Rocky's first two foal crops have exceeded our expectations. He has sired extremely refined, correct, araby headed foals with action to burn! Many have been sabino, frame, tovero, or a combination, and the majority have at least one blue eye.

Imagine my delight when I was sent this picture of Magic Mans Miss Divine a FULL sister to "Magic Mans Red Rocket".

At the 2000 Missouri State Fair "Divine" received the following: Grand Champion Junior Mare, First in Combined Weanling/Yearling fillies, and Miniature Horse Supreme Halter Horse!!!
