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.
Goforth Littlebit
1969
Measured 28 3/4″
Foaled in 1969, Goforth Littlebit, was a beautiful-headed red roan stallion that was bred by Lloyd Johnston, who owned Gold Melody Boy. His papers show unknown background, but looking at his foals, I have always wondered if he might be related to the Gold Melody Boy line. Many of his foals have been palomino. He has forty-seven foals registered from 1973-1990.
Among his accomplishments were numerous national champion titles with the International Miniature Horse Association. He has sired three National or Reserve National Champions in AMHA: Amy’s Tycoon, 1990 National Champion Junior Amateur Stallion. Another was Bar B Littlebits Touch of Class, 1989 National Champion Two Year Old Mare and Reserve National Grand Champion Junior Mare. Still another is a mare that we own, Littlebit’s O Honey, who was the 1988 Reserve National Champion Youth Mare.
