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.
Prince Tennessee of Monashee
1973
Measured 30″
When I first saw Tennessee, shortly after Bob and Sandy Erwin bought him, I added him to my list of the most refined and tiny stallions of the breed. I took a very small mare to be bred to him, and he made her look like a draft horse! Tennessee was the 1987 National Champion 28-30″ Stallion, and has proved to be an outstanding sire, as well. He finished his life as the main herdsire for Celebration Farm of Phil and Shari Washburn.
