A new beginning…
The Billy Idol syndicate and the Country Club
members are excited to announce Billy Idol and T.G. Ima Country Boy
(2014 AMHA World Supreme Halter Horse) will soon be moving to their
new home in western Pennsylvania to reside at Diva Valley Miniature Horse
Farm, owned by Nicole Pearsall, DVM and her husband, Boomer Pearsall.
Dr. Pearsall will serve as breeding manager for both syndicates. We
couldn’t be more pleased to have Nicole on board, bringing her love of all
animals, her expertise as a veterinarian, and her enthusiasm as a Miniature
horse owner, breeder, and exhibitor. We are looking forward
with anticipation to the future for these two incredible stallions!
