GOLD MELODY BOY
LIGHTENING BUG (unreg) x
GINNS MELODY (unreg)
Found in the 4 Generation Pedigree’s of
our Following Horses: “GOLD MELODY BOY (1962-1983) was known for his balance, proportion and great movement.” per Robin Eberth (Miniature Horse World, April/May 2007, page 55). Per Pat Elder, author of OUTSTANDING MINIATURE HORSE STALLIONS PAST & PRESENT, “The offspring of this great stallion are still producing horses with the “Gold Melody Boy look” of Arabian type with balance and elegance.” He was actually a Shetland that went on to Sire a Dynasty of Miniature Horses that are found in many Pedigrees today as his progeny include such greats as ROAN RANGER (Great Grandsire to our WF DUFFYS IRISH ROSE), WITTMAACKS MICKEY MOUSE, BOONES LITTLE BUCKEROO (Grand Sire to our LUCKY FOUR BLACK VELVET NITE STRIKE, Great Grand Sire to our NOBLE ESTATES, SIMPLE ELEGANCE and HYDE AWAY RANCH NITES MAGIC, and Great Great Grand Sire to our ALAMOS BUCKEROOS CHAMPAGNE ON INCE), CIRCLE S BILL BAILEY (Sire to our CENTURY FARMS MAZARATTI, Grand Sire to our MOUNTAIN MEADOWS BEY SWEET EMOTION, HYDE AWAY RANCH CRYSTALS DEE DEE, HYDE AWAY RANCH IMAGE OF CHAMPIONS, and HYDE AWAY RANCH MAZ SMOKIN NICOLE), AF GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY, DIPPERS DUFFY (Sire to our WF DUFFYS IRISH ROSE and Great Grand Sire to our STAR VALLEYS CHINA DOLL, STAR VALLEYS PARTY PARTY, and Great Great Grand Sire to our HYDE AWAY RANCH R HOT STORMY NIGHT and HYDE AWAY RANCH R HOT TAMALE), JOHNSTONS GOLD BAR, JOHNSTONS GOLD BOY, JOHNSTONS SUPER CHARGER, PLEASANT MEADOWS BUCKS BAY BLUE, SG LITTLE BLUE DIPPER, SIDS REBEL (Grand Sire to our STAR VALLEYS CHINA DOLL and STAR VALLEYS PARTY DOLL and Great Grand Sire to our HYDE AWAY RANCH R HOT STORMY NIGHT and HYDE AWAY RANCH R HOT TAMALE), SWEETWATERS LITTLE MOHAWK, CLOVERDOWNS RANGER BLUE, and LITTLE KINGS BUCK ON BROADWAY only to name a few as the list goes on. Most of his own Get were never shown but their progeny have excelled in the Show Ring. Both of his parents were Shetlands, his Sire being Lightning Bug and his Dam, Ginns Melody, were bred by William Dalton of Peaceful Valley Ranch in Hendersonville, North Carolina. During the 1960’s & 1970’s William Dalton and his friend, J. C. Williams of the Dell Tera Farm, bred him to their Mares. In 1972 GOLD MELODY BOY was sold to Lloyd & Zola Johnston who bred him along with the the owners of WITTMAACKS MICKEY MOUSE and they did a lot of line breeding and cross breeding to concentrate the genetic prepotency of this wonderful Stallion. As a result of breeding him to his daughters and his sons to his daughter, this line has become the most recognizable and prepotent lines in the Miniature Horse World today. He only Sired 34 registered Get of which twenty-six were Daughters. He was later sold to Flying W Farms where GOLD MELODY BOY died in a stable fire in 1983, and where he was buried.
