Welcome to Dusty Lane! TOTAL HERD DISPERSAL Due to the fact that I REALLY miss my grandkids, I've decided to move back to Wisconsin!

Dusty Lane Miniatures got it's start in 1991 in northwest Wisconsin. A former barrel racer, I couldn't be without horses after seriously injuring my knees...and found these little guys. The first foal born at my place was a National Top Ten All Star in jumping numerous times, but that was with my niece running him around the pattern. Those early days were gruelling, and a lot of fun, hitting the show circuit in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Illinois as well as the AMHR Nationals....in addition to commuting 120 miles a day to a job in St. Paul MN.

In September 2005, I moved out of the frozen tundra to a ridge between Greenwood and Booneville, Arkansas. It was a wonderful move at the time, but now it's time to go back "home".

Over the years my program has seen several changes, but one very important constant has been Hilltops Little Vegas, buckskin/dun son of Iowas Little Kernel, and now 28 years of age. He has produced several National Top Tens that have style and grace, and movement. Along with Vegas, my bloodlines include Gold Melody Boy, Richters Apache, Dippers Dipsy Doodle, Buckeroo, Egyptian King, X Calibers Little Navajo, Rowdy, and other well known lines.

My livelihood these days is my web design business for miniature horse breeders and other small businesses...better known as Dusty Lane Designs. Visitors are always welcome here on the ridge...and thanks for stopping by to visit me on the web.
