Congratulations to more new owners!


Joe and Marlene Perdue stopped by the day after they got married to look at some "wedding gifts" for Marlene. Her much loved 23 year old barrel mare is getting older, and so she wanted a new baby to work with and raise up as her replacement. While our sorrel filly by Sierras Super Star ("Floyd") out of Justa Dot Onthe Page caught Marlene's eye, the sorrel colt of Floyd's out of Midnight Hussy started following Joe around and loving on him. You know, sometimes they just pick who they want to be owned by, and that is exactly what happened. Joe and Marlene ended up with a set of his-and-hers weanlings! We are so happy for them and for the babies who will be going home with them at weaning time and have each other to play with as they grow up.


Our cremello yearling filly, "Sugar," also went home this week, with breeders Roy and Lyn Galusha. Sugar will be a 100% color producer and is also one of the sweetest fillies around. She loves people and we know she will be a breeze to train. Congratulations to the Galusha's on their new addition!

Finally, it was time for our orphan baby, "Frankie" to leave the nest. Born March 4th, he lost his dam at 4 days due to a nasty torsion colic. Our old broodmare Buffy was happy to take the colt under her wing and between Buffy and milk replacer, he has done very well! He goes to join Kit Cluesive and Beaus Belleringer in Cathy Atkinson's herd - finally something young she can look forward to showing. Frankie is by KLR Reflection (Tex) out of a 17 hand Thoroughbred mare, so we know he will be a big hunt seat horse - and a great colored one.








We still have many more weanlings and yearlings looking for great homes, including many palominos, so don't hesitate to stop by and check out the herd!
