Robins Nest Ranch

RNR Dyna Mite Valentino...

RNR DYNA MITE VALENTINO is a 29" stallion and our first miniature horse foal. He was shown with great success and moved into the breeding shed in 2001. Valentino, born on Valentine’s Day, was raised initially by Sheri and Mike Riedel/Meadowood Farms co-located with Meridian Miniature Horses. After his 1998 show season ended, Valentino came home to Robin’s Nest Ranch. Extremely colorful, this very flashy paw printed bay pinto (with the tiny Arabian style face and big brown eyes and mixed black/white mane and tail) is a very correct stallion. While easily managed with a great personality, Valentino becomes a stick of dynamite in the show ring that desired "hot" winning attitude.

Valentino’s sire is a multiple time AMHA National Top Ten Champion who is the son of the legendary Bond Dynamo and out of an Orion Light Vant Huttenest daughter. With that pedigree and show record (below), Valentino is on his way to becoming a great stallion.

Because of this, we are giving him some of our best mares to cross on. As we had expected, Valentino crosses with our beautiful Dels Cowboy daughters with incredible results. His 2005 stud fee is $1000 (includes a $250 booking fee) to approved mares. To see his first offspring, a buckskin pinto filly, Click here!

2000 Last minute decision to show (no training, no fitting – pulled from pasture and clipped two days before show)

Robin showed him at a local show to win in of all his entered classes: AOTE, Amateur Jr Stallions, Open, and Liberty

Thrown back out to pasture, we’d had so much fun we decided (with no fitting or training) to clip and show again:

2000 Western Regional Top Three, Showmanship
2000 Western Regional Top Four, 2 yr old Stallions, 28" and under

shown by Robin (an amateur) - with a full show string already, we chose to not take Valentino to Nationals (big mistake in hindsight!)

2001 shown locally – taking home blues - while being fit for pictures, then off to the breeding shed
