Miss Little Pino (Missy)

Miss Little Pino ("Missy") is a 2009 AQHA bay mare, 15.2 hands and about 1,100 lbs, consigned to Shining C Grulla Horses' annual online fall sale (bidding via 32auctions, sale date Oct 11, 2026) out of Wolfe City, Texas. The seller describes her as a true personal family horse rather than a recent sale-ring flip: she has been roped on both ends and used for all phases of ranch day work, has carried the flag into an empty arena during the National Anthem with a child aboard, and is handled like a gelding with no fuss on the ground or under saddle, whether ridden daily or after months off. She is currently in foal and is marketed as broke for anyone, with listed skills including beginner-safe handling, broodmare duty, cowboy mounted shooting, guest-ranch and mounted patrol work, ranch versatility, team roping, and trail riding. Temperament is rated 3 out of 10 (calm end of the scale). Photos show a stout, correct bay mare standing quietly for a young handler in both bare and tacked-up shots, and moving out relaxed at the jog under saddle.
