ABC 3046, foaled 2002.

Black Gaited Mare. 15 hands tall.  Big, well built mare,
she is the mother of our gaited filly.  Solid black with one
blue eye and a long thick spiral mane and tail that does
not shed, she is indeed a beauty.  Exceptionally
sweet natured she will follow you around the pasture
looking for attention.  With her smooth foxtrot gait she is
a joy to ride.  Well trained to saddle she has been
successful in the show ring as well and has done multiple demos, parades, trail and ranch work.  
And now she has proven she is a great mom as well. Foundation bred out of Angel's Lady,ABC

bred to Storm Warning for a 2011 foal!

Mead's Judith,
ABC 2347, foaled 1997.

Bay Mare.  14 hands tall.  An amazingly pretty mare with
a gorgeous thick mane and tail and moderate curly coat.
Judith spent the majority of her life as just a "wild horse"
on Joe Mead's ranch.  Because of this, she is extremely
shy of humans and we have elected,at this age, just to
leave her a broodmare.  She is however, now halter
trained and getting braver, even willing to take a treat!  We have decided to keep her as
she consistently puts a wonderful disposition on her foals.  They are smart, willing and
super friendly. Out of Deborah M, ABC 754 by the Yellow Hornet, ABC 878 she is
foundation bred. Now in foal to WW Peter Lakota for a 2011 foal!

LCC Tropicana Twister, "Juicy"
ABC 3012, foaled 2002

15.2 hands tall.  On lease to High Desert, this big mare has
the Foxtrotter background everybody is looking for.  Big
and stocky with a rock solid build, her beautiful and
unusual maximum Sabino color attracts attention
everywhere she goes.  Friendly and intelligent she learns
quickly.  Well started under saddle, she will continue in
training but already has Halter Championship accolades under her belt! Look for her
2010 filly, "Amber" on the foal page! Out of NE Coles Princess, ABC 1433 by BS

Ponderosa Black Star, "Rosa"
ABC 2175, foaled 1996

14.1 hand Yellow Dun Mare.  Stocky build.  Moderate curl
with full mane and tail.  Friendly, she is easy to catch and
handle. Primarily she has served as a broodmare for us,
however this year we have plans to also get her started
under saddle once her baby is weaned. Out of Mead's North
Star, ABC 1414 by Mead's Hi Yeller, ABC 1914, she is
foundation bred.  Look for her gorgeous 2010 filly "Evie"
on the foal page!


Red Sky Dawning, "Cookie"
ABC 3215, foaled 2003.

Red Dun Mare. 15 hands tall.  This beauty is on lease to
High Desert and will be taking part in our stallion's first foal
crop.  Look for her 2010 filly out of WW Peter Lakota on our
foal page! Graceful and elegant, she moves with beautiful long
strides and has already proven herself in the show ring, as well as the demo arena.  Our
future plans for her will take her to the jumping arena as well.  Out of Angel's Lady,  
ABC 1451 by Tatanka, ABC 1927 she is foundation bred.  With a moderately curly coat,
she keeps her tail but sheds some of her mane.  Conformationally correct and with a
beautiful head to match, she is a joy to watch!

  Oakesmuir Golden Sun, "Jazz"
ABC 596 1/2, foaled 1999.

Palomino Mare. 15.1 hands tall. We figured with all the
cowboy sports in this part of the country perhaps it was time
to infuse a bit of Quarter Horse blood into our lines! Long and
tall she brings a very different look to our herd.  We hope to
have her competing by next year and to get some big-butte babies from her! Out of
Nicker to Me by Quarter Horse Tiger Gold.

 Jondra DMC Miss Dansie, "Crank"
 ABC 418 1/2, foaled 1999

Bay Pinto Mare.  15 hands tall.  Our newest addition,
she is learning she can't get away with bucking our trainers! Since
She came to us in June and only tried it twice but has now
improved her attitude and is coming along nicely. With a very lovely ground covering
trot, pretty conformation and flashy color to boot, we were willing to take a chance on
this girl and think we made the right decision! We hope to have her competing in H/J by
next year! Out of appaloosa mare Miss Shady Deck by Dig My Curl.

 Toklat's Topaz, "Topaz"
  ABC 2712, foaled 1999
 
 Grey Mare. 14.2 hands tall. Arrived as a rescue to us in Feb
of '09, we discovered that due to an old injury in her hind leg
she was unrideable.  Sweet and friendly she gets by fine as a
pasture buddy and broodmare.  We had planned to rehome her this Spring,however it
fell through.  Now bred to Storm Warning for a 2011 foal, we will
offer her again for rehome next year after the baby is weaned. Out of Sniker Bar by
the gorgeous stallion Toklat she has excellent foundation breeding. If you are
interested in giving this sweet, pretty mare a home, contact us.
