Littlestone Performance Horses

Tyson and Melissa Deutscher of Littlestone Performance Horses are a young couple who are keen to impact on the worlds of western performance, cutting and campdrafting in a big way and have all the plans in place to do it! Littlestone Performance Horses is situated on 60 beautiful acres in Marburg, 60 km west of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. We also breed Brahman cattle here in QLD, with Tyson's parents owning the property "Stone End" at Badgingarra WA, which runs 200 Murray Grey breeders. Our two 'A Class' mares One Moore Smarty and Vitalsignsrblazing (IMP) are from outstanding and leading sires in their industries but most importantly they are out of exceptional mares. Tyson and Melissa also aim to use the best stallions available, saying, "we have bred to amazing US stallions that include - One Time Pepto, Sophisticated Catt, Radical Rodder, Iron Age, One Hot Krymsun and Certain Potential. We have also used imported stallions such as Brooksipep, Peptos Stylish Oak, Whos Top Cat and Tapt Dancin Cat. We purchased Vitalsignsrblazing (aka Hallie) in 2009. For many years we had followed and fell in love with her dam Vital Signs Are Good, so when the opportunity came up to purchase Hallie we jumped at it!" Melissa says, "we then bred her to amazing US sire Lazy Loper before bringing her back to Australia, the resulting filly was born in January 2011, however due to unfortunate circumstances we lost her at two days of age. We then bred her to US sire Radical Rodder. Radical Rodder was not only a great show horse, he has produced many World Champions in every western breed and at most disciplines. Radical Rodder is also the sire of Australia's leading AQHA sire HF Somethin Hot. This resulting foal - a dark brown colt will be closely related to HF Somethin Hot with Hallie having Tahnee Zippo (HF's dam) as her grand dam, this colt was born in early March 2012' Tyson and Melissa's long term goals are to keep breeding exceptional foals and have fun showing them. Ultimately, in future, we would love to breed a NCHA Futurity Champion, a NPHA 2 Year Old Pleasure Futurity Champion and win the Warwick Gold Cup! With their dedication and exceptionally forward-thinking breeding program, I have no doubt we will see Littlestone horses achieve all these goals - and wouldn't be surprised if it was in the same year!
