Spotted Meadows Farm Home Page

We are a small farm located an hour and 15 minutes northeast of St. Paul, MN, in northwestern Wisconsin, focusing on old Appaloosa bloodlines, Appaloosa to Appaloosa breeding, athleticism, personality, conformation, and Appaloosa characteristics including easy or middle gaits. Our first stallion, Sunny, is a bay dun fewspot leopard who sires outstanding foals with intelligence, willing attitudes, athleticism, agility, and beauty. Our second stallion, Howl, is a blue roan leopard who through his offspring is continuing the fabulous contributions of the Garvin Heights and LaLonde programs. We are a family farm dedicated to breeding Appaloosas for your family. We also make every effort to educate ourselves as to the genetics of horses and our program and base our breeding plan on the newest genetic research (from The Appaloosa Project) as well as tried-and-true methods from other outstanding Appaloosa breeding programs. We provide concrete DNA information whenever possible. Our goal is a sound, beautiful horse, and we are also striving to breed purebred Appaloosas. Ask us about anything that you aren't sure of!

Our computer crashed, so that's why no updates in a while! We have a new computer, new photos, and soon some new foals, though, so check out the website!

Here at Spotted Meadows Farm we do not limit ourselves to one or two bloodlines, a particular color, or a particular pattern. We strive for excellent minds, fabulous conformation, superior movement, and a pleasing combination of strength and refinement. We also seek out the old bloodlines, believing that the do-it-all horses of yesteryear are worth preserving.

That said, we do have a little extra somethin' somethin' for you!

We are standing what we believe to be the only Foundation bred leopard/fewspot dun stallion in North America! Sunny is a bay dun fewspot leopard who is the fourth generation of only Appaloosas (that's him, his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents before there's an outcross!), so if you want spots, smarts, and great balance and you want dun too (NOT cream gene being called dun, he really has dun and we can prove it!), then talk to us!

Want the mystery and romance of the story of the Ghostwind Stallions? We also have the closest living direct male descendant of the great producer Siri Sheik! Howl is a great-grandson in a direct male line, and we also have his son Rocky to carry on the tradition. If you want Ghostwind bred, you aren't getting any closer to the source than Howl (his breeder literally wrote the book on the subject, and that's Howl's sire on the cover!). Want jaw dropping elevation, suspension, and reach on top of all that? Talk to us about adding a Howl baby to your pasture!

Our mares of course are just as fabulous, too, bringing history, mystique, power, grace, beauty, and talent to the herd.

Go to their pages and see for yourself!

We are very excited about International Purebred Appaloosa Association. IPAA registers scientifically accepted purebred Appaloosas, and Sunny is able to sire purebred Appaloosas, in addition to Foundation Appaloosas and Appaloosa Partbreds (a registry option for all you non-Appaloosa mare owners!). Megan is the Executive Secretary for IPAA, so be sure to ask us about this exciting registry!
