There are few direct sons of the great Merry Boy
Sensation left but here is a good one!
Merry Boy Sensation was the sire of the 1986 and
1987 World Grand Champions as well as the 1988
World Grand Champion 3 year old. He produced
ribbon winners for years before passing away in
1995. Merry Boy Sensation became known for
consistently producing both fillys and colts with
deep sloping shoulders that allowed the colts at
maturity to reach out with great extension. This
has become known as a "Sensation" front
end. In addition his trademark was
extremely gentle dispositions. For years
countless amateurs have trained their own
"Sensation" offspring as they are so
willing. "Little Big Man"
is the result of crossing Merry Boy
Sensation with a wonderful little grey mare,
Fury's Free Spirit.
Fury's Free Spirit is out of Blue Daniel, a
former Model Champion and a walking bred mare
that goes back to the well known Mack K's
Handshaker. Little Big Man
was brought out to the show ring as a 3 year old.
At the 1987 Futurity he won 2nd in the studs and
geldings qualifying class. He proudly placed 8th
in the championship out of 145 total entries
ridden by a rider he had never had before that
night.
Little Big Man went on that
year to place 9th in the overall 3 year old World
Grand Championships against horses from all over
the United States, many who had started their
careers as 2 year olds. As a 4 year old he won
numerous Hi-point awards in Performance, Model,
and Ladies displaying his versatility and willing
attitude.
Little Big Man (Chief) has
not been offered to the public for several years.
He was crossed with the mares on our farm, the
colts we didn't keep to show ourselves were sold
out every year. Most were bought and trained by
amateurs and shown successfully in both Model and
Performance or ridden for pleasure with smooth
gaits and gentle attitudes. Our mare lines
included Yankee, Traveler, Frosty Zane, Black
Cloud, Master Tom, and Zane's Go Boy, all these
made excellent foals - with colors from black,
grey to palamino. Chief even line crosses well
with other Sensation daughters. It's in the
bloodlines - get some Sensation - up close!
One of many winning offspring is Sensation's Little League.
Hi Hopes Farm...breeding and

experience. Our select bloodlines produce
