Frequently people ask if I could give them information about one stallion or another. That encouraged me to assemble this page about some of the stallions that appear in many pedigrees. I have searched my files, browsed through miniature magazines since they started being published, and recalled many of the experiences that I have had with minis. With all the sources at hand, I will try to show some of the stallions you have asked about through the years. If you would like to correct anything that I may have listed in error or would like to add to the information that I have, please feel free to send me your comments. I will be adding to this list as time goes by, so please check back to see if that horse in your horse’s pedigree shows up eventually.
By the way, this list is not all-inclusive, nor a list of the best of the breed. It is simply a list of horses that I know something about, that I have seen, or that I have learned about by talking to the owners or others who knew about them. If your favorite is missed, my apologies.

The picture on the left is one of my favorite pictures of Little Man. It comes from the first directory that was put out by the International Miniature Horse Registry, which merged with AMHA in later years, in the late 1970s or early ’80s. The picture shows how small Little Man really was, as he is straddled by his original owner, Delmer Moody. Del Moody is the breeder or original owner of all the horses that you see with the “Del’s” prefix.
Del’s Little Man
Little Man was one of his favorite stallions and one of the best he had. Vern Brewer bought Little Man in the mid-80s and he lived in Gainesville, Texas, until he died in 1984.
He is the sire of Del’s Benny (Reserve National Champion 32 to 34″ Stallion in 1989) and W.C.’s Mr. Lucky (Reserve National Champion
