Take a few moments to become acquainted with our "Staff"
"Rowdy"
Rowdy was a 25" tall stallion. That's about as small as an adult miniature horse comes. He was our first miniature and the namesake of our company. With his small stature and gentle disposition he quickly became a beloved icon in the French Quarter. Unfortunately Rowdy passed away during Mardi Gras in 2009, but his inspiration will live on .

Autumn
At 29" tall she's about the mid-range for miniature horses.
Autumn is a very sweet girl but she came to us as an abused animal. Since she is still apprehensive about strangers, we don't take her to the parties
Autumn recently became a mommie!
Her little girl, Summer recently joined the petting zoo
and the kids LOVE her.

Midnight
Midnight is a 32" tall stallion. He's extremely gentle and quite a looker!
This little guy is our "Saddle Boy"

Rascal
Rowdy's Little Rascal is a 3 year old stallion. He came to us when he was
2 months old and he's become quite the little man.
He lives up to his name on a daily basis
and can always be counted on to entertain with his antics.
He's made a beautiful & fun addition to our family. Rascal's father is the same size as Rowdy and it looks like he'll take after his dad & his namesake and be as tiny as they were.
Rascal now pulls our Kiddie Kart

Dixie
This is Dixie. She joined us at 2 months old. She's a beautiful and docile little girl and we're thrilled to have her as part of our family. Dixie is a little pocket horse. At almost 3 years old, she has remained tiny . Dixie stands about 24" tall and we don't expect her to get any bigger .
Bella
Bella is a 7 year old, 32" tall mare.
She pulls our cart and hopefully one day she can sub for
Midnight doing Pony Rides
Meet Fancy!
Fancy came to us at 2 weeks old. She replaces Totie
who at 3 years old lost her patience with the children.
Totie is now living a life of luxury at a farm in Mississippi
EVERYONE gets a kick out of the pig
Gabbie
Gabbie is a Nigerian Dwarf goat. We bottle raised her from a week old and as a result she's totally spoiled. Gabbie can always be depended on to delight and amuse
Pixie
Pixie is Gabbie's first baby and like her mommie, she's a beautiful little girl.
So far she's delighted everyone at the parties. We'll be keeping Punkie, Gabbie and Pixie. They will eventually provide us with two new babies for the
parties every year.
Summer
Shown here with her mother Autumn
June 4th we were shocked when we got up and found Autumn
with this beautiful little baby girl.
Speaking of ears....Ajax came to us March 18th as a 2 day old baby.
His mother rejected him at birth and we were able to take him in and raise him on the bottle.
He is a sweet funny little man and we are thrilled to have him join our little family.
Watch him showing off his stuff on YouTube

Francis
Francis is a miniature mule. Since mules are bred for strength and size you don't see many in
miniature form. He is probably, next to Ajax, the most loving of all of our family of critters. Although he was originally sent to us to place for adoption, Francis will have a forever home here with Rowdy's Rascals

Munchkin
Munchkin is the latest contender for the title of "World's Smallest Horse"
Currently he stands at 17" tall. He is available to us from the Critter Farm in Terry Ms. and is available ONLY for special events & promotions

Gabbie
| Baby Goats! They grow up so quickly but when they are babies there is nothing funnier or more entertaining. Below are photos and video links showing the goats when they were babies..
Watch their antics on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HShMaBdXnso |

Our little guys & girls work hard to make our parties successful.
Here are a few pictures of them in their off time,
playing & relaxing and showing off.
Note- we no longer have the rabbits. Rabbits, like our ferrets, ducks & chickens are not capable of learned behavior. As a result they may sometimes bite or scratch. We at Rowdy's Rascals will not risk such behavior around the children.
