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!

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.
