The farm name Catca Woods is derived from the Choctaw designation given to the
nearby creek.  It has been stated that the word "catca" translates to "black cats."  The
Choctaw Indians have long since gone but in their place lies a thriving horse and
cattle farming community.

Catca Woods Miniatures is located in the rolling countryside of Washington parish,
fifty five miles north of New Orleans, Louisiana, owned by Grace and Wilson
LaGraize and raising horses and cattle for the past 12 years.  The first miniature
horse was purchased in 2003 as a pet to entertain the grandchildren.  It then
became an obsession to acquire better miniature horses.  Miniature breeding
comes naturally to Grace and Wilson with experience in horses and cattle.  The little
equines have become a natural compliment to the raising of Braford Cattle and
Tennessee Walkers.

On of the first buying trip, Grace fell in love with a beautiful Leopard Appaloosa
Falabella stallion.  Later, stallions Lucky Four Rangers Imperial and Cascades Top
Cat Creme de la Creme, a perlino, were added.  Then began a search for suitable
mares to complement the well bred stallions.  

Most recently, we have acquired a three year old stallion WF Zeus White Lightning
aka "Popsicle" from Ray Zoercher and Wing Flight.  Popsicle with the famed
Buckaroo and Patton breeding crosses well with our select mares.

No other endeavor has shown the willingness of so many fellow breeders to share
their knowledge and experience breeding these wonderful little equines.  
Specializing in breeding AMHA, AMHR and show quality miniatures. Grace and
Wilson hope to achieve the highest level of miniature horse standards of perfection
in meeting the goals of all registries servicing the American and International market.

Please feel free to come visit our farm and see our quality animals.  This site is new
and will be expanded soon  to include more show horses, stallions, mares and
foals.
