San Juan Miniature Horses

Almost 30 years after his death, it is nearly impossible to measure the impact Gold Melody Boy has had on the American miniature horse industry. Gold Melody Boy was a registered Shetland pony with a pedigree that goes back almost 100 years—to some of the most well known Shetlands ever bred. Because of his small size, he was eligible to be registered with the AMHA. It was not until after his death, when his name turned up in pedigree research over and over and over again, that he became known as “the” foundation sire of the modern, Arabian style American miniature horse. His small stature, extreme refinement and Arabian presence put him years ahead of his time. Those qualities are evident in the horses carrying the Gold Melody Boy bloodlines, making them some of the most sought after in the world. Below is a partial list of horses sired by Gold Melody Boy. For a horse with only 34 AMHA foals to his credit, this is quite a remarkable group. There is no doubt that these wonderful horses and their get will continue to carry the Gold Melody Boy bloodlines into miniature horse history.
