RHOTENS LITTLE DANDY (1982-2000) has produced 38 AMHA Halter Champions and Performance National Champions, of those 20 were Driving Champions and 18 were Halter or other Performance Champions. No wonder he is thought of as the leading Sire of Performance horses in the Miniature Horse World!  Those who have seen “Dandy” say that his movement was unique and beautiful.  His feet hardly touch the ground.  His foaling record shows that he passed his movement onto his Get. There were many people in his life and they all boast of his intelligence, he was independent yet willing.  He was always interested and always curious.  He had a willing attitude because he had a desire to please.  Like Father / like Daughter, our VERMILYEAS DANDYS UPTOWN GIRL likes having her rear scratched as did “Dandy”.  It is said that “Dandy” never put his ears back and neither have I seen “Spirit” put hers back.  What I have learned of “Dandy” I see in “Spirit”.  The Legend does live on. Kay Pate once said of “Dandy”, “That of all the horses I faced with Snippet . . . the one that I feared the most was Dandy.”

FACT: As of the end of 2004 RHOTENS LITTLE DANDY produced for AMHA 3 National Grand Champions, 4 Reserve National Grand Champions, 19 National/World Champions, 23 Reserve National Champions, and 135 National Top 10 Champions.

NOTE: Kritina Slobody had this to say of "Shady Lady", "They say that everyone has a once in a lifetime horse...... Shady Lady is ours. Shady has 2 World Grand Champion Mare titles to her name, in addition to many World Championships. She is one of the winningest mares in AMHA history. In addition to her show record, She has timeless beauty and elegance, and the Dandy blood that is sought after. Shady Lady passes all of her finest attributes on to her foal, and is consistenetly raising the bar on quality foals. Shady's foals have gone on to win in the AMHR National ring and the AMHA world ring in Halter and driving. Shady has left her mark in AMHA history." We would like to thank Sawmill River Farm for their permission to use the Photo's of NFC Dandys Shady Lady.
