Little
America's 007 Rowdy Tornado
1988-2007 27"
Sire: Lisa's Easter Bunny (Grandson of
Rowdy)
Dam: Crescent's Melodee
By: Double
O Seven and One Half Moto (National Grand Champion)
People can't believe how tiny Tornado is after seeing him in
person... they say his picture looks like a sixteen hand horse, but he is
only 27" tall. His tornado shaped blaze set part of his name but his
royal background did the rest. His sire's dam was a 31" daughter of the
immortal show horse sire, Rowdy, and his dam, Crescent's Melodee (27 3/4") was our favorite showmare for years. She was a daughter of
the National Grand Champion Senior Stallion, Crescent's 007 1/2 Moto.
Most of Tornado's foals have matured under 28", not as little,
chunky, short-legged horses, but as elegant, tiny horses with style.
We recently learned that he was carrying the overo gene. We look forward
to capitalizing on that through his sons,
Little America's Silver Tornado
and Little America's Tornado Terrific
and
his grandsons,
Melton's Tornado's Whirling Thunder, and
Little America's Too Incredible.
To say we admire his production is understating it considerably.
