Cloverdale Miniatures
White's Casino Elise
"Cassie"

|
| Cassie was born on May 27th, 1993 at White's Mini Farm in Pittsfield, NH. She was the first foal for her dam, Snowy River Dimples, and due to a difficult birth she was born blind. As she grew her vision improved to the point that she could safely live a normal life as part of a herd. Needless to say she grew up with lots of extra tender loving care :o) She has matured into a beautiful mare and is the queen of the Cloverdale herd. | |

We first saw Cassie when she was a few days old.
She was curled up in the grass of her paddock taking a nap. Needless to say ...... It was love at first sight :o) |
|
|
A couple months later we returned to White's Mini Farm to bring Cass home with us. Mike White was nice enough to allow us to bring Dimples along to make the transition to her new home easier. |

| Still at White's, Barb was just a little excited to be with her new babe :o) | |
|
|
| Exploring her new home while keeping close to mom :o) | |
|
|
| Her mom back in NH, Cassie takes a nap with her new buddy Rosemary :o) | |
|
|
| One year later, almost fully grown, her shiny chestnut coat and bright white mane outshine even the wildflowers in the pasture! | |
At 3 years old Cassie returned to White's Farm for a romantic rendezvous with Hobby Horses Roan Ranger. On the return trip she kept her head in the cab of the truck to be close to us during most of the 4 hour trip ....... an ample supply of carrots may have had something to do with this :o) |
|
Eleven months and a difficult 90 minute delivery later, Cass gave birth to the first minihorse foal to be born here on the farm......Ross's Belle Star

Although our herd has grown since we brought Cass home, she and Belle will always hold special place in our hearts.
