Enyalien Farm Miniature Horses

Hello, and welcome to my blog! My name is Tina, and I have been raising these beautiful little horses since 1994. Life changed drastically for me in 2009, and to go along with the changes I renamed my farm to something meaningful to me (Enyalien means "In Order to Recall" in Tolkien's Elven language of Quenya), am working with a dear friend on redoing my website, and...am starting a blog. If you'd like to keep up with my thoughts or my herd, here is the place to do so. I will post updates, information, foaling chronicles, training bits, showing bits as I get back into the ring, fun stuff, etc. Enjoy!

Melody Foaled!

This is Kernel's last foal....and what a gift to remember him by. Enyalien Magnificent Revelation was born
right around noon, April 18, a full month past what I was expecting. And she didn't even have the decency to have him overnight while I'm watching her LOL! This gorgeous bay colt is built just like his sire was as a newborn, and about the same height...22", with a 7.5" cannon at birth....so he should finish about 32". He
does his legacy proud....I can't wait to show him! He is AMHR only...hopefully I will be able to hardship him into A. And his coloring....WOW.

Mr. is a little better than 50% Winks blood, and also brings in such Miniature greats as Rowdy, X'Caliber's Little Navajo, Landry's War Paint, and Vanilla 3rd. He is line bred to one of my original mares, Polly Pearl, as Kernel is Melody's uncle. Was. Meet a significant part of Enyalien's future....(pics taken at less than 2 hrs old)

First Foal of 2011, A Lovely Chestnut Filly!

While I was watching and waiting on Melody to foal, Lillie decided she didn't want to be outdone,
and surprised me the morning of March 4th with a lovely chestnut filly! I learned Lillie is not one to
give much in the way of signs, bags up right before foaling, and is an excellent mother. She foaled
easily and quickly, as a maiden, for which I am very thankful.

Clover was almost 17" at birth, and now at 6 weeks stands 21". Her mid knee to coronet measurement is
7.5" at 6 weeks, indicating she should mature around 30". I am really divided on this filly. I love her sire, I love her dam, I want to keep my herd small. She combines the bloodlines of Glenn's General Patton and Little Kings Locomotion from her sire, with Dels Cowboy, Uno's Monarch, Orion Light, and Vanilla 3rd from her dam. This filly could easily show...and I am hoping to take her as a weanling to Nationals this year. It would be my first, and sounds like fun! Anyhow, here is a picture or two, and I'll chronicle her growth on her as we go. She is available for purchase, for now....that might change as my other foals hit the ground.





I am taking votes on a registered name for her =) or suggestions! Her sire is Bar B Smiten, a Res NC. Her
dam is Frontier Silverado's Lillie Lou. Ideas I have had included Smiten with Roses, Rose Blossom, Cherry Blossom, In Love....all with the Enyalien prefix of course. 

Has it really been this long?

Egads....here I start a blog to keep you updated, and I get so busy I forget to write! *laughs*

Well, the last few months have been hectic. Hmm. I just said that, didn't I? Try again...

Enyalien has news! First, I have finally fulfilled another lifelong dream, and added a Rough Coat
Collie to my life. Meet Seagaze, who is, of course, the best dog on earth *smiles* She picked
me, when I went to pick a puppy, and will be my show companion, if I can ever get her out of my

bed.....

She's even confiscated my teddy bear....

But seriously, Sea is a lovely blue merle, well trained, and who connected nearly immediately with me. One
of those 'moments' as she stared into my face, with head cocked, then just....I don't know. That was that. It has been many years since my childhood Irish Setter, who was also 'my' dog....or, I like how Albert Payson Terhune put it.....any man can be a dog's owner. Only the dog chooses his master. Or, in this case, mistress. Look for Seagaze to accompany me to shows as we grow together.
