At DD Mini Farm, our mares are hand-selected treasures — each chosen for her outstanding conformation, gentle disposition, and unique personality. While color is a delightful bonus, it’s temperament and structure that truly guide our breeding choices.

We do not breed every mare each year. In fact, recent years have seen very limited breeding due to market conditions and our commitment to intentional care. Every foal brought into the world here is planned with purpose, ensuring that we’re able to provide for them fully while waiting for the perfect forever home.

Our herd showcases a beautiful range of colors and sizes, but what unites them all is the heart and harmony they bring to our farm.

🛑 Please note: none of our mares are for sale. These ladies are cherished members of our farm family and are not available for purchase.

Follow us on Facebook or YouTube.

All visits are by appointment only.  Please do not just show up.  This is our home.  Sometimes, we may be out running errands.

DDMinis Ghostly Dragon Lilly

Lilly is a true original — small in stature but huge in character. Due to her petite size, we’ve chosen not to breed her, ensuring her health and safety always come first. She’s far too precious to risk, and we’re grateful every day for her spirited presence.

And spirited she is! Lilly has a knack for mischief and a magical talent for escape, earning her the nickname “Little Houdini.” Whether she’s popping up in unexpected places or cleverly avoiding gates meant to hold her, she keeps us laughing and on our toes. Her adventures are part of what makes life at the farm so colorful.

• Sire: Lil Hoofbeats REFs Ghost Encounter
• Dam: TFM Ghost Riders Reflection

Lilly is not for sale and not available for breeding — she’s simply our little spark of joy.

DD Minis Ghost Ellie Mae

Ellie is a striking young mare that has not yet undergone full color genetic testing. We do know from her sire’s profile that Ellie carries one copy of black and one copy of Splash White. Her LWO (Lethal White Overo) status remains unconfirmed, so as a precaution, we are committed to only pairing her with LWO-negative stallions.

• Sire: Lil Hoofbeats REFs Ghost Encounter
• Dam: TFM Ghost Riders Reflection

In May 2025, Ellie was bred back to DDMinis Rowdys Velvet Diablo (aka Jim) following the success of her first foal by Jim. That foal showed exceptional quality, and we’re excited to see what this next pairing will bring. With her pedigree and promising start, Ellie is a valuable part of our breeding program and a mare to watch.

DDMinis Ghosts Sweet Mystic Angel

Though Angel may appear white at first glance, she’s genetically black and carries the Splash White pattern — a trait that adds a touch of mystery and magic to her appearance. She’s a stunning example of how genetics can surprise us in the most beautiful ways.

• Sire: Lil Hoofbeats REFs Ghost Encounter
• Dam: Villas Cinnamon Sugar

Angel is a half-sister to Ellie and Lilly, who also share her gentle spirit and unique lineage. While we’ve lovingly placed her other siblings in new homes, Angel remains here at DD Mini Farm, preparing to sparkle her way into the spotlight.

DDMinis Peppys Precious Melodie

Melodie is expecting her very first foal in 2026, and this moment carries deep meaning for us. Though we’ve bred other mares of her size, Melodie wasn’t originally part of our breeding plans. Her dam, Peppy, was bred multiple times to NFC Rowdy Satan, but fate had other plans. One pregnancy ended due to medical complications, and another resulted in heartbreak when the foal was lost at birth. After that, Peppy, at 25 years old, was lovingly retired.

We then tried for three years to breed Peppy’s son, Thunder, to Maddie, a Rowdy granddaughter, but despite our efforts, she never settled. It was a trusted breeder who finally encouraged us to take the leap with Melodie. She reminded us that we now have a well-equipped barn, excellent veterinary support, and most importantly, that this cross represents a dream we’ve held onto for years.

• Sire: Gum Branch Magics Fine Tune
• Dam: Heartlands Peppys Keepsake

Melodie is the granddaughter of Bond Peppy Power, one of the foundational names in the Miniature Horse world. She is bred to DDMinis Rowdys Velvet Diablo, a grandson of Rowdy, who is another foundation miniature horse, for a 2026 foal that embodies generations of thoughtful planning and cherished bloodlines.

This foal will not be for sale. It is a piece of our heart and heritage, and we look forward to welcoming it into the world. Look for this foal to be in the show ring in the future.

DDMinis Rowdys Sweet Velvet Heart

Affectionately known as Monkey or Spunky Monkey, this lively filly has been stealing hearts since the moment she hit the ground. Her playful spirit was evident from day one—leaping into the air, spinning with joy, and dashing across the pasture like she had wings. She’s a genuine spark of energy and personality, and we can’t wait to see where her journey takes her. Be sure to check out some of her videos on YouTube.

Monkey is preparing for her debut in the show ring in 2026, where we expect her charisma and movement to shine. But her talents won’t stop there; this winter, she’ll begin training to join our MINI Therapeutic Horses program, with a special focus on visiting nursing homes and bringing smiles to residents through gentle interaction and connection.

Monkey comes from cherished lines here at DD Mini Farm. Both of her parents reside on the farm, and her dam, Sugar, has recently retired from breeding. Sugar now enjoys her days in our retirement program, where she’ll remain a beloved member of our herd for life.

• Sire: DDMinis Rowdys Velvet Diablo
• Dam: Villas Cinnamon Sugar

Monkey is proudly registered with:

• AMHA (American Miniature Horse Association)
• AMHR (American Miniature Horse Registry)
• And soon, she’ll be joining the Pinto Horse Association, showcasing her unique coloring and vibrant personality.

Knee Hi

Knee Hi’s story is one of transformation and trust. Thought to be foaled around 2004, she came to us from kind neighbors down the road—already larger than a yearling and full of spirited energy. Her early training had been unconventional, and we quickly realized she needed gentle guidance to unlearn behaviors like rearing and placing her front legs on people’s shoulders—a trick once encouraged when she was small.

With patience, love, and consistent care, Knee Hi blossomed into a calm, confident mare who now brings joy wherever she goes.

Our Unicorn Extraordinaire

Today, Knee Hi is the star of our Unicorn Birthday Parties, delighting children with her gentle nature and enchanting presence. Dressed in sparkling accessories and a magical horn, she turns ordinary celebrations into unforgettable memories. Her kind eyes and quiet demeanor make her a favorite among young guests—and a true ambassador of the magic miniature horses can bring.

Knee Hi is a cherished member of our herd and will continue to live out her days here at DD Mini Farm, surrounded by love and purpose.

Mini Gates Hello Tippie

Mini Gaits Hello Tippie carries the legacy of two of the most influential miniature horse sires in history: Orion Light Vant Huttenest, a foundational sire whose descendants shaped the modern miniature horse standard.

NFCs Fire and Ice, a record-breaking stallion known for elegance, color, and championship offspring.
Her bloodlines are rich with refinement, expressive movement, and show-ring prestige, traits she quietly carries with grace.

Picture Perfect Minx N Pearls

Minx is a beautifully refined miniature mare originally purchased from Florida, she made her way to Tennessee thanks to a respected miniature horse trainer who personally delivered her to the Shelbyville Miniature Horse Show. Their first impression? “She’s put together exceptionally well.” And we couldn’t agree more.

Minx has proven herself not only in conformation but also in temperament and maternal quality. She’s been bred twice, producing two outstanding colts, one now a cherished gelding for a child, and the other a proud standing stallion in our program. Her willingness, gentle nature, and balanced build make her a cornerstone of our herd.

But what truly sets Minx apart is her heritage.

Minx is a granddaughter of Little Kings Black Velvet, one of the most iconic stallions in the history of the American Miniature Horse breed.

Little Kings Black Velvet was a cornerstone of Lucky Four Farms’ breeding program, producing countless champions and shaping the breed with his elegance, balance, and presence. His offspring have won National Grand Championships, Supreme Halter titles, and earned top honors across the country.
In his later years, Black Velvet was exported to Made In Spain Miniatures in Madrid, Spain, where his legacy continues to influence breeding programs internationally.

REFs DDMinis Rowdy Pride N Joy

Some horses arrive in our lives with perfect timing. Joy was not one of them, she was better. She came late in the year, against the odds, and brought with her a story that’s woven into both friendship and fate.

Her dam had struggled to conceive, despite months spent with my stallion, Gum Branch Magics Fine Tune, from March to December. My friend was determined to get a foal from this cross, and finally, the mare became pregnant. We knew it would be a late foal, and in the miniature horse world, that’s a gamble, since horses age up on January 1st, no matter when they’re born.

But Joy didn’t care about calendars.

She was born while I happened to be at my friend’s house picking up a chicken coop. Her boyfriend was home, but my friend was at work. I looked over and saw Joy, just minutes old in the stall. Instinct took over. I cleaned her navel, made sure she nursed, and watched her dam pass the placenta. It was one of those quiet, sacred moments where you realize you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
In honor of that moment, my friend included my farm name in Joy’s registered name, and gave me first option to purchase her when the time came.

Show Circuit & Sisterhood

When Joy was technically a yearling, she had to show as a two-year-old due to the January 1st rule. That year, she was stalled with Bonnie, and the two became inseparable, traveling, sharing stalls, show prep, and the rhythm of the road.

When Joy became available for sale, I didn’t hesitate. She came home to DD Mini Farm, where she and Bonnie remain best friends to this day, whether in the pasture or curled up in their stall.

In 2015, I took Joy on the AMHA show circuit, and she placed 3rd in the world’s Junior Stock Mares competition. She is one of our favorite DD Mini Farm Mares. Joy has become a therapy horse and is available for hire.

REFs Little Bens Bonnett

Bonnie the Miniature Horse is a bay mare born in 2009, carrying a distinguished pedigree that traces back to foundational miniature lines like Flying W Farms, Komokos, and Cross Country. She embodies the refinement and charisma of her lineage, with ancestors known for elegance, movement, and vibrant color genetics. Her heritage includes the Rowdy and Red Boy lines, and she stands as a living tribute to the legacy of miniature horse breeding.

But Bonnie is more than her bloodlines; she’s a beloved ambassador of joy and healing in her Tennessee community. From cheering on athletes at the Achilles Nashville Race to starring in her own music video, Bonnie blends charm with purpose. Her gentle presence and expressive personality make her a favorite at outreach events, where she brings smiles, comfort, and curiosity to children and adults alike. Whether she’s trotting into a schoolyard or posing for a promotional shoot, Bonnie represents the heart of therapeutic equine connection.

Bonnie has quite a following in Middle Tennessee and is almost a famous horse.  She is one of the star characters in the Bucky & Bonnie Library Adventure.  Bonnie is currently available for hire for therapy visits.

 Villas Ginger Snap

Ginger arrived at DD Mini Farm as a frightened and uncertain mare, having just delivered her first foal. Unfamiliar with people and wary of touch, she kept her distance. It took months of quiet presence and gentle care to build a bridge of trust. DaNel spent countless hours simply sitting near her food pan, letting Ginger set the pace. Over time, the fear softened, and Ginger began to accept the kindness around her.

Today, Ginger is a transformed soul. Anyone can catch her, provided they approach with patience and respect. Her journey from fear to trust is a reflection of the farm’s philosophy: honoring each horse’s emotional story and allowing healing to unfold naturally. Ginger is currently boarded in Kentucky, preparing to welcome a Kentucky Incentive Foal in 2026.
