We are expanding our cross-breeding program with the addition of THREE Arabian mares, with an eye toward developing a Half-Arab "department." So, we will have purebred QHs (Skipper W emphasis, of course); Appendix QHs, at least one Iberian, and NOW, Half-Arabs!! Our ultimate goal is to produce 100% palominos as soon as our homegrown Skipper W Cremello stallion, The Cloud Prince, is "of age."
Here are our three new gals: First, we are bringing in SS Patsy Cline, a chestnut tobiano from Setting Sun Stables of Wakarusa, Indiana. Patsy is AHA registered as a Half-Arabian (she is actually 3/4 Arabian, 1/4 QH), and she was schooled by respected trainer Joe Reser. She is calm, loving, respectful, and just all around adorable!   Next, we will be joined by WH Mistfy, a purebred Arabian mare from Arizona who has had limited showing but was always in the ribbons. We think she's pretty perfect:  Finally, from Silver Wind Arabians in Cedar Creek, Texas, comes JB Bling Thing, also a purebred Arabian. She's another looker. Here she is in a training session: |

Lady is a 2004 liver chestnut AQHA mare with personality and chrome! She is well-broke and has done limited showing in Western Pleasure. She is King Ranch foundation QH all the way on the top side (direct from Wimpy and Wimpy II), with Nu Bar and Poco Tivio supplying her speed on the bottom. See her pedigree here. She's a solid and well-proportioned 15.1 HH athlete who stops on a dime, is sensitive to her cues, and has even jumped an XC course. On top of everything, she's a sweetheart who has one of the quickest, brightest minds you can imagine. She's just plain awesome, and we're looking forward to some great rides and fantastic babies!     Here is Lady on December 16, 2011, showing a definite bun in the oven:

Dianes A Winner, or "Di," is a 2000 registered quarter horse mare whose bloodlines are dominated by Skipper W and Blondys Dude. She is a wonderful trail horse who leads the way through streams, dense trees, and up and down ravines. Diane is about as good as it gets. She's gorgeous, with near-perfect conformation, sensitive, loves people, and is unafraid. Can't imagine our breeding program without Diane!

Diane's advice to other mares: don't have a baby in snowy frozen mud when it's 20 degrees and windy.
Here's Twister:

 FQHA certifies Bailey as 91% foundation quarter horse!  Bailey is a 2004 cremello mare with a sweet, loving disposition. She is balanced and well-built. She descends from Skipper W, Three Bars, Zippo Pine Bar, and Two-Eyed Jack.

Kalas Bita Bar Mount, aka "Fancy," is a 2003 foundation-bred quarter horse mare with an old-style bulldog build and the sweetest, calmest disposition imaginable. She is a reliable, willing trail horse that can be ridden under saddle or bareback. She has an easy running walk that is a dream to sit. Fancy had her first foal on April 21, 2009, a lovely, large palomino filly, Barbie, who seems to have inherited great qualities from both her dam and sire--a big, solid frame, a gorgeous dark gold color, and a beautiful neck and head.   |

Annie had her first foal on July 22, 2010, a dunalino stud colt we call Peanut.
