We are extremely proud of our broodmares. They feature world class, proven bloodlines. Nearly all are sired by World or Reserve World Champion Sires. Over the years our mares have produced APHA Champions, Superior Halter Horses, Top Ten at the World Show, World Champion Halter Mare at the Pinto World Show, Futurity Winners in halter and performance and last but not least horses owned and loved by their owners for us. Many have also produced World Champions, Superior Event horses etc for their previous owners before we purchased them.

For repeat visitors you will still recognize most of the girls - we sold some young mares - gave The Wild Child to a good friend, Terri Carothers, traded some so what we have left should raise us some good foals with the emphasis on english prospects who can both look good and move exceptionally well.. And beginning in 2009, all will be colored foals. With the exception of Beverly, Claudia, Sparkle and Maci - the rest of the mares will be sold after foaling in 2010.

Nothings_Sacred

NOTHINGS SACRED- 1999 Bay Tobiano Mare

Sire: Sacred Indian - Leading Sire of World Champions, Superior Event Horses etc etc

Dam: Successful Secret - TB Mare

I've lusted after a Sacred Indian Mare for years and was delighted when I found Sacred for sale. She had been shown successfully on the open jumper circuit doing 3'6" courses but came up lame in the fall of 2006. Her owner was in college so decided to sell her. Brought her home, rode her on the flat and she is fine for that only. Bred her to I Art To Have Color, 16.3 Hand Bay Stallion. She had a lovely bay tobiano colt in 2008 and we left her open for 2009. In Jan 2010 she produced Fashion Tips, a lovely bay tovero filly who is homoygous for the black ge gene. Sacred is now owned and loved by Rebecca Poynder in Saskatoon and she has big plans for her.

DOUBLES HOLLY DOLLY - 1989 Chestnut Mare

Sire: Double Dose Sonny

Dam: Bonds Dolly

Diane again used her enabling skills finding me this mare at Contis once again. She has been a deluxe producer. Crossed 9 times on Dynamics Impression, 7 foals are of point earning age and all have done that very well including the 2007 Reserve Congress Champion Just Call Me Dynamics. She arrived in foal to Dynamics Impression for 2008 andgave us a really fancy chestnut filly we called Charlotte and Teri Carothers snatched her up when she was a month old. Bred back the same way, this year she gave us a really cute light sorrel colt nicknamed Tiny Tim who nearly died at 4 days old but he is a tough kid and at a month old is rapidly gaining back the ground he lost when sick. We sold him to Contis and unfortunately he broke his pastern and had to be put down in late 2009. Kim Frizzell spotted Dolly as soon as we listed her for sale and came up and grabbed her to be part of her family. She is bred to Deceived for a 2011 foal.

SPOTTED JULIET - 1999 Chestnut TB Mare

Sire: Regal Remark - Leading TB Sire in Canada

Dam: Brite Lite Liz

Juliet wants to be a paint and we're going to get her registered APHA. She has 3 large belly spots, spots on both hips, a coon tail, tall stockings and white on her lower lip. She is a kind soul, wants nothing more than to be loved on.Toyed with breeding her to a TB for a race prospect but decided I can't afford to play that game. Bred her to Deceived for a 2010 foal for her new owner Darcie Conlon who seriously twisted my arm to sell her to her. Darcie changed her mind and I am thrilled Juliet is back home. She has a lovely bay tobiano filly with some serious leg issues so she may end up living here forever Bred her mom back to Deceived for another lovely foal in 2011

 

Casinos_Rose

CASINOS ROSE - 1990 Sorrel Solid Mare

Sire: Cupids Casino - proven sire of superior and APHA Champions

Dam; Partee Say Si Bon by Mr Robin Boy

Rose was a gift from The Vos in Washington bred to Imperial Snips, sire of 15 World And Reserve World Champions etc etc. They were keeping only their halter bred mares and with her age and arthritis they wanted to chose her new home rather than sell her and they chose me.I have lusted after an Imperial Snips foal since watching Cheek My Checks over the years. She is quite the producer, her foals have earned over 800 performance pts. When we got Carol home, I kept wanting to call her Carol so she became Carol Rose and living in 5 acres of pasture really helped her ability to get around. Carol Rose is bred to Deceived for a 2010 foal. Wow, her black tobiano filly is fancy, fancy. Decided we'll keep her for a companion for Chickie. They can hang out together in 3 acres and just enjoy life. Did bred her back - couldn't resist trying for one more foal from her.

Freefall


FREEFALL

Gray TB Mare by Free At Last "Charlie" came to us from Contis - and is in foal to Dynamics Impression for 2010. This cross works really well as her gray filly "Watz Your Impression" has proven in the show pen. She is 16.2, very kind, quiet mare who loves nothing more than to be brushed and hugged. She has a truly amazing bay colt by Dynamics Impression we call McCarthy. Bred her to Deceived for a 2011 foal. Charlie and McCarthy were chosen by Sheryl Hilton to join her mare band and with her new facilities McCarthy should be a star in the future.

 

 

dancing_treasureDANCING TREASURE - 1998 Bay Tobiano Mare

Sire: Treasured - Well known Sire of Running Horses by Easy Jet Too

Dam: Red Wind Dancer by Raise Caine (TB)

Dancer is bred to run a hole in the wind but has been used as a broodmare only and for the last few years was just hanging out at our friends as they focused more on their warmblood program. My daughter and son-in-law, Dave and Stacey Gray decided to buy her, let her live here (hard to keep her in the backyard in town) and be bred to Deceived for a 2010 foal. That was fairly exciting as she had never seen a stallion up close and personal. But he perserved and she soon came around to his way of thinking. She is now his biggest fan and when we moved her out of his pen she hangs on the fence watching him with the other mares. Kinda funny really. Gave in and moved her back in with Deceived for the winter. She could possibly have a double homozygous foal. And God was smiling on us and Walter, her black tobiano colt is indeed homozygous like his sire. He's cute nad very independent. Dancer is bred back for 2011 to Deceived and is for sale only because of our plan to be down to only 4 mares by winter.Crystal and Travis way down on the QC/NB saw her advertised and had to have her so she is headed off to her new home in November

 

Really_Canadian

REALLY CANADIAN - 2002 Sorrel Mare APHA and AQHA

Maci is a daughter of Real Bonanza and out of a QH mare, Blue River Bottom whose foals have show records. Maci is solid filly with fancy, sabino markings and I suspect will be a great color producing mare. She arrived with Claudia’s Upset and her HBF Iron Man filly and immediately appointed herself the filly’s bodyguard. She also has become the official greeter at the gate to the field and will run full tilt to meet you regardless of where she is in the field. She foaled all by herself as a maiden mare with no problem but Dougie McKenzie was born July 1st so we left her open that year. This year with absolutely no signs of impending birth foaled outside on a very cold Sunday night. When I got up at 5.30 am - there was our fat little 12.3 hand pony and Leslie, our 16.3 hand two yr filly with a foal tucked between them in the trees. Huh, how can that be, neither were bred so down I went and of course they took off to the far corner of the field with the foal. After a slight discussion, the pony came down and was locked up in a pen. Looked around and discovered this tiny bay tobiano filly belonged to Maci and we began the long trek up the hill to the barn. The poor filly was cold, exhausted from being "so wanted" and I couldn't tell if she had even nursed. Got them tucked away in the barn, turned the heat on and left them to get acquainted while I did chores. When I checked the foal had nursed and was flat out sound asleep in the middle of the stall. The next day she developed very labored breathing and the vet came out and we discovered her lungs were full of fluid, her tongue and one side of her face swollen and she wasn't breathing out her right nostril. So we added her to the nursing care list and be the end of the week, she was doing way better and today is ripping around with the boys having a great time. We called her Highly Desired to reflect the fact that all the mares wanted her at birth. Maci is bred back to Deceived for 2010 as well. 2010 - much nicer foaling experience and although I called the very cute bay tobiano foal Brett The Hitman Hart -- I finally discovered he was a she - no wonder his head was so fancy. LOL She like the others is bred back to Deceived for 2011.

 

Claudias_Upset2

CLAUDIA"S UPSET - TB MARE


Very pretty TB Mare who had a horrible life for several years She was rescued and restored to good health, then sold to a TB farm in Florida, then resold a couple of times before we were offered her by April Hakim in SC. I didn’t know her history until she arrived home but I can guarantee she will never leave here. Her first weeks here were spent trying to be invisible in the hope that nothing bad would happen or at least that’s what I thought. , She's given us several lovely foals, 3 by HBF Iron Man . - She came up open in 2008 and again in 2009 but has been bred for 2010 to Deceived and I am so looking forward to her foal. She is such a sweetheart and I managed to make her almost obese last year when I thought she was in foal. She is 22 years young this year and in the midst of a rainstorm foaled on her own - a very elegant,minimal tobiano colt who was immediately named Gene Kelly. And bred her back for 2011.

Teddys_Sparkle

TEDDYS SPARKLE - N/N AQHA & APHA 1988 Chestnut Overo Mare

Sire: Chocks Impressive - was Teddys Splash

Dam: Burgandy Song

We bought her as a 4 year old in foal to Dirty Sonny and the resulting foal was Bodyguard. She has her Superior in Western Pleasure and was 3rd at World Show in WP. Her foals have won both halter and performance futurities. One daughter is now in Denmark in foal to a top reining horse. It’s hard to believe we’ve owned her for 18 years already. Her foals are usually the first ones to sell and the ones who show well. She is one of the mares who will spend the rest of her life with us. Sparkle was open in 2008, we're now thinking that poor little Deceived hadn't quite figured out how to breed those tall girls. In 2009, wow, Dennis The Menace arrived - Deceived's first foal for us and he is really nice. We registered him as bay tovero - he may yet shed off black as he is that funny color still. His reg name is X Press O -- this kid lopes like a natural pleasure horse already with a good head set. Neat to watch him come across the field to you. And yep, Sparkle too is bred back to Deceived for a 2010 foal. Unfortunately Sparkle absorbed sometime in the fall of 2010 but is bred to Deceived for 2011.

PANZAS QUTEE 1996 Gray Overo Mare

Sire: Panzas Top Robin

Dam: Socks Skip A Girl x Sock To Impress

"Beverly" was purchased as a yearling to re-sell, but luckily no one would buy her - "too ugly". She wasn’t much better as a two year old. Then she blossomed and in a short show career spanning only a few months as a 3 and 4 year old she earned both her Open and Amateur Superior in Halter and accumulated a fan club along the way. Her sire is a Reserve World Champion Sire, + multiple superiors, APHA Champions etc. Her dam has 21 halter points and is a ½ sister to Sock Broker. Beverly hasn't had a foal for a couple of years so she was thrilled to foal out Fletcher, a fancy black tovero colt who has inherited both his parents super minds and attitude along with their good looks. He is Mr Personality. She too is bred back to Deceived for 2011

 

DSC_0081FAR MORE CONCLUSIV - 1997 Sorrel Overo Mare  N/N

Sire: Mr Far Verse. Reserve World Champion

Dam: ET Exclusive x Conclusive

"Vivian" is such a pretty mare plus she is a producer of ROM earner. Her full siblings have earned superiors in halter. She's in foal to AQHA Sudden Instinct for 2011. This foal should be a good one is eligible for BT and maybe IF and we are working on Vivians AQHA papers so the foal will be double registered as well. Also sent away her tests for HYPP, OLWS and we'll post the results when we get them. She is a typical frame overo pattern so bet she is a carrier. But we'll breed her to Deceived in the spring and he's not.

 

Horse_Pictures_004SISTER PATSY ELLEN - 1999 Dk Bay TB Mare

Sire: Evansville Slew x Slew City Slew x Seattle Slew

Dam: Sweet Sis x Secreto x Northern Dancer

We lucked out buying this mare. Patsy is tall, elegant and a super pretty head and neck. She is a black type winner and her foals have been successful at the track as well. She is open but had a foal in 2010. We'll breed her to Deceived as he seems to cross really well with TB.

DELTA TOWN -2003 Dun Tobiano Mare

Sire: Will Spot Ya

Dam: Smooth Harlita x Smooth Town out of a daughter of Do Do Chick

Delta is one of the prettiest, kindest mare we've ever owned. She's almost 16 hands, has a tiny head with a big kind eye. She unfotunately broke her shoulder as a yearling so showing was out of the question. But she is definitely has the conformation and bloodlines to be a broodmare. So, she has a date in April with Deceived and then the waiting begins.

Will Spot Ya is a well known sire of pleasure horses and her dam - daughters of Smooth Town are well known as producers.

MISS SIZZLE CHICK - 1978 Mare APHA & AQHA 1978 Sorrel BS Mare

Sire: Our Sir Prize

Dam: My Tontime

We are so fortunate to own this mare. She is a multiple World and Reserve World Champion producer and to list all of the accomplishments of her foals would require her own website.She’s a full sister to Barlink Macho Man’s dam as well. She is 32 years young this year and is now registered QH as well. Miss Sizzle Chick came up open for 2004 after a long run of superb babies so she was officially retired along with Illusion. With the passing of both Illusion and Smooth Angie, Chickie has new friends and a new career. She was the guide mare for the blind TB Mare, Buffy (which drove her nuts sometimes) I am sure she was thrilled when Buffy went home with our farrier. We were quite surprised last year (June 20/09) to find her hanging on the fence in full blown heat winking at Deceived with all her might. So we invited him to come for a visit for the afternoon and he bred her -- that would sure be something if she catches after all this time. She is in excellent health, lopes off in the morning to meet her friends and has been known to buck and rear when the mood strikes her.

 

 

 

Bellarosa_in_Foal_to_Deceived

 

Bellarosa - 10 yr old, 12.3 hand Buckskin Tobiano Pony


We hauled Belle to a sale for her owner and of course were smitten with her - she is too cute so bid on her and brought her home. Turns out that she likes to buck although she can jump 3' when in the mood. When we tell people about her quirk - no one wants to take a chance of rehabbing her so we bred her to Deceived and Penelope arrived with little warning. She is the cutest black tobiano filly, has her dads blue eyes. Bred Belle to Dirty Harry, a 13.3 blue roan gypsy vanner cob -- that cross should be simply amazing. SOLD

SMOOTH ANGIE -- 1981 Bay AQHA Mare - DECEASED

Fully recovered from her injuries, she's fat, happy and hard to believe she is creeping up on 25 yrs young. Her gelding, Z1 Sierras Three Jets was 8th in Novice Ammy WP Cut 2, and Smooth Recovery, her now two year old filly, is the Ontario Paint Horse Club’s high point halter mare for 2003. Smooth Angie also came up empty this spring for whatever reason, old age maybe. In the 2004 World Sale catalogue there is a grand daughter of hers going thru the sale. In the remarks, it notes that she has had 10 QH foals and 8 Paint foals so has definitely been a producer and earned her retirement as well. She too lived in the seniors retirement pen with the others. We lost Angie to a heart attack late in 2007.
