Richard Petty & the legendary 1970 Plymouth Superbird
Read the story ⬇
Richard Petty, known as "The King" of NASCAR, is a legendary figure in American motorsports, and his association with the 1970 Plymouth Superbird is a significant chapter in the history of muscle cars.
In the late 1960s, Plymouth was eager to dominate NASCAR and needed a car that could compete with the aerodynamic Ford Torino and Dodge Charger Daytona. This led to the creation of the Plymouth Superbird, a highly modified version of the Road Runner. The most striking feature of the Superbird was its aerodynamic design, characterized by a long nose cone and a tall, rear-mounted wing. These modifications were aimed at reducing drag and increasing stability at high speeds.
Richard Petty, having left Plymouth for Ford due to frustrations with the brand's competitiveness, was lured back by the promise of the new Superbird. In 1970, Petty piloted the Superbird to eight victories and numerous top finishes, which helped cement the car's reputation as a formidable racing machine. The car's success on the track also played a significant role in Petty's career, adding to his legacy and contributing to his record 200 NASCAR wins.
However, NASCAR soon changed its rules to limit the advantages of these aerodynamic cars, leading to the Superbird's short-lived dominance. Despite this, the 1970 Plymouth Superbird remains an iconic symbol of the muscle car era and a testament to the innovative spirit of American automotive engineering, forever linked with Richard Petty's illustrious career.

AMHA registered and can be AMHR. His sire, a leopard appaloosa, is double registered and his dam, a red roan pinto, is AMHA. If you are looking for a future herd sire with color, here he is. Thanks for viewing. PM me if interested.

Two year AMHA registered two year old pintaloosa c**t. 29 inches tall. Great temperment. If your looking for a herd sire to throw color or just looking for a pet, he could do either. Sire is AMHR registered so he can be AMHR registered. Sire is leopard appaloosa and dam is red roan pinto. If I was not selling out this year, he would be my herd sire. Thanks for viewing. PM me if interested.

THE MARE HAS SOLD AND STALLION SOLD

Thank you to all that sent text message, emails, phone calls etc.

After years, I have decided to sell out of the miniature horse business. I want to first of all thank especially all of you that have bought minis from me over the past 31 years. And especially those of you that have remained in contact and kept me up to date on how your horses worked out. Right now I have two horses that I am going to sell first. The first one is my leopard appaloosa stallion, StoneHurst Rinestone Cowboy, that I have had since he was 5 months old. Cowboy is very gentle and easy to handle. He is usually the first one to me when I go into the field. He is AMHA/AMHR registered and still have a few years of stud service left in him. He has thrown red roan, blue roan, pinto and pintoloosa babies. The attached photos of him speak for him. The mare is an AMHA registered red roan pinto mare. Two years ago, these two produce a beautiful pintaloosa c**t. She foaled late last year, a blue roan filly. Did not breed her back last year but she has cycled this year and has been running in pasture with Cowboy and may already be bred back. Again, I want to thank all of you for your interest in my minis. PM me for more info.M

Two year old miniature filly. She is 32 inches. AMHA application / DNA is in process. She was a bay when she was born. Now she is frosting out all over. I expect her to roan out when she sheds next spring. Her sire is my leopard appaloosa stallion in the pictures and my sorrel/white pinto mare also pictured. Both sire and dam are AMHR registered so she can be AMHR registered also. I am not a member of AMHR so have not registered there. Spent her first two years with small children. Super gentle and laid back. Would make a good pet or if you want some color in your herd, would make a good brood mare. Thanks for viewing.

Thanks to Tyler Carpenter, Boone NC, for her purchase of Bandit.
Thanks to all the made inquiry about Bandit.

For Sale. StoneHurst Cowboy's Frosted Bandit (AMHA ) foaled 07/23/2021 pintaloosa c**t. Sire is a leopard appaloosa stallion and dam is a red roan pinto. Sire is also AMHR registered so Bandit could also be AMHR registered. He is in tact, has color and size. Don't think he will go over 30 inches. Thank you for viewing my post.

Disregard the first photo. Didn't mean to put that one in. This little guy is now 8 months old and he is full of s***k. He will be AMHA registered and can be AMHR registered. Recently measured and he was 24 1/2 inches. Don't think he will ever see 30 inches. He is out of a leopard appaloosa stallion and a red roan pinto mare. If you are looking for a future herd sire with color and size, in another year or so, he could be it. DNA has been submitted and he will be parentage qualified. Thanks for viewing and let me know if you might be interested in him.

SOLD

Thanks to all of you that inquired about this filly. She sold today but hopefully will be posting another baby in the near future.

Here is the latest addition to our mini family. This little girl was born night before last at approximately 2:10 AM. The last bay baby this mare had shed his foal coat to be a red roan. When he shed his yearly coat he was a blue roan. Don't know what may happen with this one. She will be available for sale if anyone is interested.

Our last baby for this year is weaned and ready for a new home. He is a pintaloosa. Both hind quarters are blanketed and looks like will spot out. Expect him to mature at 28 - 30 inches. He will be AMHA registered and possibly AMHR. Sire is AMHA/AMHR and dam is AMHA. He has a great playful personality. Loves to chase me around in the round pen. If you are looking for a future herd sire to put some color in your herd, this could be him. I am attaching photos that include his appaloosa sire and pinto dam. Message me if questions/additional info or if you would like to come see him. Thank you for viewing our post and our page. Please disregard the first photo. Didn't mean to put that one in the post.

Well, my buddy that I called "Bub", now has a new name, "StoneHurst Cowboy Rebel" and a new home with his new owner, Craig Goff. Craig says "Bub" made it home with no problems and this morning was playing with a lamb. Thank you Craig for your purchase and I hope "Bub" and your daughter have a long wonderful life together.

Baby enjoys being outside.

Not the best of pictures but last baby of the year is looking better all the time.

So my mare, Lady in Red, had always foaled during the night. She always bags real tight before she foals. For the last few days, she has been bagging and even this morning was not tight but I decided I would put her in the foaling stall tonight and start put the monitor on her halter. So tonight I got up to feed her and put her in the foaling stall, and when I get there she is standing at the gate waiting for me and this little pintaloosa c**t is standing beside her. What a wonderful Friday afternoon surprise. And Momma and baby are both doing fine. Thank you Lord.

This c**t was born 4/11/21. He is out of my leopard appaloosa stallion and a black and white mare. Both are AMHA registered and the stallion is also AMHR registered so the c**t could be double registered. I don't think he will stay this color and don't expect him to go over 30 inches if he goes that big. He has a good disposition. Let me know if interested.

06/03/2021

Not the best pics but a few of our latest baby born yesterday approximately 12:15 AM. Will post more later. Hopefully better pics coming. She is a filly.

Spring cleaning is done at the barn. Mama's stall is ready. Mama is ready. OK baby. It is your move.

We are in our first foal watch for the year. Sweet Country Dreams is in the barn during the night and in the paddock behind the barn during the day. If my records are correct, she should foal within the next two to three weeks. She is in foal to my leopard appaloosa stallion, RhineStone Cowboy. This will be her first foal. Anxious to see what they produce. Will keep you posted.

It amazes me the number of notifications I get on FB about people liking StoneHurst Miniature Horses. I want to thank each and everyone that visits our page. Not much going on right now. Just watching the mares get bigger. My records indicate that our first foals should be due about the first week of April. Again, thanks for your viewing our page and we will keep you posted.

Filly has sold.

Have decided to sell my 26 inch filly. She will be 6 years old in 2021, straight legs and smooth mouth. She is AMHA registered.
She has visited nursing homes and has been to a number for "Farm & City" days at a number of different schools. She has her whole life ahead of her and has the potential for about anything you might want to use her for. Her sire is black and white and her dam is grey. She is the true miniature horse. I am asking $2,000.
