Lorien Miniatures

Different kind of horse tonight! One of the early Breyers, early 1960's, glossy palomino Family Arabian Stallion. He is in near mint condition, I included a few closeups of the couple of flaws he has. Beautiful creamy shade, he'd make a nice addition to your home decor! $60 ppd in the continental US.

Still miss this handsome young man.. Lorien Shenanigans, at his first world show. He brought home top tens in both of his halter conformation classes that year, then was bought by an older Morgan gentleman who loved his Morgany look, a large compliment indeed! He is well loved and spoiled, but was a favorite here too... Sometimes its just hard to let them go!

Welcome and hello to all of our new followers! Its been an eventful year with my husband and life in general! I'll be posting some model horses available soon, and hopefully new pics of our last foal due(we think). Ms. Bailey went to a friends last May to be bred, as she is registered Shetland first and foremost, and I have not had a Shetland stud since selling Dandy to said friend 🙂. She has not come in this year, and Ash believes she's due in June or July. Here's hoping!

Spent yesterday in the ER with Neil. Thankfully nothing too serious, on the scale of serious that he's introduced me too, "just" dangerously constipated and filled all the way to his colon, and that full too. They helped what they could, and things should start moving more now with some new meds.

So - that's probably the oddest introduction to a foal post you'll ever read! But I needed some good news, and wow did Malibu provide! I lost her gorgeous golden buckskin c**t last year and couldn't even talk about it, that one hurt so bad. He was my most anticipated foal, and so flipping gorgeous. She repeated him this year for me though, giving birth about 3:30am to another golden buckskin pinto all chromed up for me! Thank you Ashley for taking such amazing care of my girls! This boy is a grandson of Boones Little Buckeroo, heavily Winks bred through both my lines and Booboos SMHC dam, AND includes legends Landrys War Paint, X'Calibers Little Navajo, and Chocos Little Specks Red Boy in there too! Baby is walking under mom easily, so I'm hoping he stays small enough to hardship A in some years!

The Revelation of TwoBit Tommy & LK Malibu Buckeroo. Chandler M Marks, I can't thank you enough for selling her to me a few years ago - she was serious competition already to my heart horse, and always will be just one hoof behind Sonata ♥️

Oct 12th my husband suffered a cardiac arrest and another stroke with anoxic brain injury. The minis are currently staying with friends, and this years foals have found a wonderful home.

I will have to rehome some of them. I will have foals available in 2024, 3-4 of them. The ones available are currently in Canton, TX. I have an older smoky cream (UC Davis tested homozygous black and homozygous cream) mare who's sire was a National Grand Champion, exposed for a buckskin foal in '24 who I would part with. I am still reeling from this and trying to find my footing on who to let go without stressing my husband more, as he is very invested in them also emotionally. She is not a pocket pet though, so I know she is one who won't upset him.

I have started a blog to process our journey through this, if you are interested it is www.thetimewehavebeengiven.com

I will try to update here as I can. If you are interested in Blessings, please reply or message me. She will only go to a loving, quality home.

Life, Love, Brain Injury, and Hope

When you need to be just a little bit taller to reach the salt lick 😂😊

Well, I found out recently that I am losing my land lease. Looking for land around Georgetown TX, and looking for a co-owner for one of my stallions. Have sold mares & one of the foals that I can make myself part with. Firefly is available to a show and breeding home.

Always something! But we will get through, we always do! Please inquire 😊

Joy's little man is unfolding handsomely! He's coming around in the pocket pest area also 💙💙💙

Our last foal for the year was born late this morning! A refined, leggy, high stepping bay pinto c**t by TwoBit (50% Winks, 3x Blue Boy, X'Calibers Little Navajo - 12x World Champion, and Landrys War Paint - World Top 3 Senior Stallion).

His dam is Impressible Shadows Jubilant Joy, whose pedigree includes NFC's Superman, multiple Michigans bred Shetlands including 3x Midget Mike; Rowdy, 3x Boones Little Buckeroo, Double Destiny, Komokos, Glenns, Vant Huttenest & more!

This c**t will be available. We'll see if he's stallion material as he unfolds, but definitely available as a gelding. Should mature 32-33", and already has good lift in front, so will definitely make a driving horse - its in his lines on multiple sides, proven to the Worlds level with everything from uncles with 20x Top Tens, to great grandsires (2 of them) with National & World Grand Champion driving titles. If you are interested, please let me know, payment plans available until he is weaned!
