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.
Komoko's Little Husseler
1974
Measured 26 1/2″
Sire: Komoko’s King Tut
One of the smallest miniature stallions of his time, Komoko’s Little Husseler set a world record when he sold to Robert Pauley of Hobby Horse Miniature Horse Farm, Bedford, Virginia. It was 1982 and Joel “Bob” Bridges had a production sale, where Husseler sold for $12,500. After three years with Hobby Horse, Husseler was sold to Bob and Sandy Erwin, who were looking for a tiny herdsire to add to their newly formed NFC Miniature Horse Farm. For $25,000 they felt that he was just the right stallion to join the likes of Hemlock Brooks Egyptian King, Rowdy, and a host of other stallions.
Komoko’s Little Husseler He remained as a mainstay of the NFC program until their dispersal in 1993, when he sold to Eric and Marilyn Meyer, World of Miniatures, in Canada. Sometime later, they moved to Texas where, at the age of twenty-six, he made an impressive appearance at The Miniature Event’s Stallion Avenue.
As a sire, he has seventy-two foals registered with AMHA and appears in literally hundreds of pedigrees as grandsire and further back. He was very notable for his wide-set large eyes, which I see continuing in his get for generations. I have one of his daughters and several of his granddaughters that you can pick out by their pretty heads and very prominent eyes. He is one of the special stallions whose get continue to show his mark.
