BILLIE BOYS RW - barn name "Billie"
Photos by Crystal Keenan
THIS IS ONE OF OUR APPALOOSA MARES NAMED "BILLY BOYS RW" (ApHC #469473) THAT WE'VE HAD SINCE 1993. WE ACQUIRED HER FROM A MAN WHO WON HER IN A POKER GAME-SHE HAD PAPERS FROM HEAVEN AND WE SAID WE'LL COME GET HER FOR A PRICE. THE MAN SAID, NO, I'LL DELIVER...THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUR 1ST CLUE-HA! SHE IS NOW 21 YRS OLD. SHE WAS WILD WHEN WE GOT HER. WHEN SHE FIRST HAD DEALINGS WITH HUMANS, SHE WAS 7 YRS OLD. SHE WAS ALWAYS THE MARE THAT GOT AWAY DURING THE FALL ROUNDUPS THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID-HER FOALS WERE TAKEN BUT THEY NEVER CAUGHT HER DURING ALL THAT TIME.
EVER SINCE 1997, WE HAVE HER NOW WHERE WE CAN CATCH HER EASILY, GROOM HER, FERRIERS WITH SOME HASSLE, LEADS, LOADS, AND WE KEPT HER STRICTLY BECAUSE ANYONE ELSE WOULD HAVE EITHER PUT HER DOWN OR SENT HER TO SLAUGHTER. SHE PRODUCED US SOME NICE FOALS-USUALLY LEOPARDS, FEW SPOTS OR BLANKETS-ALWAYS COLOR. MOST PEOPLE FREAK OUT WHEN THEY SEE HER SWIRL AROUND IN THE PASTURE FOR A BUTT RUB...AFTER ALL THE OTHER HORSES HAVE BEEN LOADED AND GONE, SHE KNEW SHE HAD TO GO WHEN WE WENT BACK TO GET HER. (SHE'S MOVED 5 TIMES SINCE WE'VE HAD HER) AND LOADED HERSELF THE FIRST 3 TIMES IN ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES. SHE GETS IN THEN GETS OUT. SHE DOES THIS 4-5 TIMES THEN GETS IN AND STANDS LIKE OKAY, I'M READY TO GO NOW. SHE ALSO ALLOWS US TO ASSIST HER DURING FOALING TIME-WE HAVE TO DO OUR IMPRINTING PRETTY QUICK THOUGH BECAUSE ONCE SHE'S RECUPERATED, SHE'S READY TO START HER OWN BONDING. SHE'S NOT AS BAD AS SHE USED TO BE AND STILL THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE SHE DON'T LIKE RIGHT OFF THE BAT AND SHE HATES CAMERAS-NO CAMERAS WITHIN CLOSE RANGE!
HER OFFSPRING HAVE ALWAYS BEEN JUST THE OPPOSITE OF HER. THEY ARE CURIOUS AND FRIENDLY BECAUSE SHE ALLOWS US TO BE WITH THEM AFTER A FEW DAYS OF HER BONDING WITH THEM...

THIS FOUNDATION APPY MARE'S NAME IS "WINNIECOOS FULL MOON" aka BLAIR {ApHC #608557}. SHE IS ALMOST 6 YEARS OLD & SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF THE MARE ABOVE, "BILLY BOYS RW". BLAIR IS SO SWEET AND THE BEST WINDWALKER (INDIAN SHUFFLER) THAT I HAVE SEEN. IT'S ALMOST LIKE WATCHING A CARTOON HORSE FLYING ACROSS THE PASTURE. SHE HAS BEEN BROKE TO RIDE AT AGE 3, BEEN RIDDEN ON THE HIGHWAY, ACROSS FIELDS AND DOWN THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD APPROX 3-10 MILES AT A TIME. LATELY, SHE HAS NOT BEEN RIDDEN DUE TO LACK OF TIME AND SHE'S IN FOAL FOR SPRING 2008. SHE'S BRED TO OUR AQHA RED DUN STALLION NAMED HEZA DUN LEGEND. SHE'S VERY LAID BACK, SMOOTH TO RIDE BUT YOU CAN'T COWBOY HER. SHE HAS TO BE ASKED TO DO SOMETHING AT HER LEISURE SUCH AS, CROSS A DITCH OR SHE'LL SULL UP LIKE A KID. SHE LIKES YOU TO TALK TO HER WHILE BEING RIDDEN TOO. WITH A LITTLE EFFORT IN A ROUNPEN OR IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T EVEN TAKE THAT MUCH, SHE'D BE ON THE ROAD AGAIN... SHE HAS ONLY BEEN RIDDEN WITH A BOSAL, NO BIT. SHE'S A GOOD GIRL, NO KICK, WON'T RUN OFF WITH RIDER AND EASY TO CATCH. LAST TIME SHE WAS SAT UPON WAS ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS AGO. SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG ON THE RIDING SIDE OF THINGS, SHE JUST SNORTED AT A BLANKET HANGING ON RAIL AND BACKED UP. SHE WILL STAND STILL WHEN MOUNTED. YOU CAN MOUNT HER FROM A BALE OF HAY OR FENCE FROM EITHER SIDE. SHE STANDS APPROX. 15.1HH NOW AND SHE'S GUARANTEED SOUND. SHE'S BUILT REALLY WELL AND WOULD MAKE A GREAT TRAIL MARE/BROODMARE.
SHE'S GOING TO COSTA RICA! SHE WILL BE A PART OF AN INTERNATIONAL BREED REPRESENTATION AT PANACA (PARQUE NATURAL DE LA CULTURA AGROPECUARIA)...IN OTHER WORDS A GRAND THEME PARK WHERE CITY FOLK AND TOURISTS CAN INTERTWINE WITH EQUINE ACTIVITIES/BREEDS, CANINES, CATTLE, SWINE AND EXOTICS. SHE WILL LIVE A LIFE OF RALLY! WE ALWAYS KNEW BLAIR SHOULD BE SHOWN...YOU GO GIRL!

SHE IS BROKE TO RIDE BUT SHE HASN'T BEEN RIDDEN SINCE LAST OCTOBER AND SHE IS NOW IN FOAL TO OUR AQHA RED DUN STALLION, HEZA DUN LEGEND FOR 2008. SHE IS A VERY FRIENDLY AND A SWEET, LIKEABLE MARE. THE LAST TIME I RODE HER SHE SPOOKED AT A TINY GIRL IN A LIGHT BLUE DRESS THAT CAME RUNNING OUT TO THE ROAD WHERE WE WERE RIDING AND SHE JUMPED TO THE SIDE BUT SHE CALMED RIGHT BACK DOWN BECAUSE THE GIRL QUIT RUNNING TOWARDS HER AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL ON THE ROAD HOME.

ZIPPIES SASSY LADY aka SASSY is a registered AQHA #423707 mare that foaled her 2nd foal (red dun with an upside down V on his nose stud colt)) He didn't live but a few days due to joint ill...(checked on her at 3 am and at 6am, the foal was already up nursing, so he didn't get his navel iodined in time).
Sassy is 14.1HH & 6 years old. She is not broke to ride. She is very eady to catch, leads, loads, does good with ferrier. Her 1st foal was a classic bay filly (now 2 years old and stands 14.3HH) named COLONEL'S ANGEL FIRE. COLONEL FRECKLES is her G-grandsire. HYPP RESULTS = N/N.

Photos taken May 2008 by Crystal Keenan
JAE LU EM aka MERCEDES IS A 7 YR OLD DAPPLE GREY REGISTERED (AQHA #4386914) MARE. She is a mare that we purchased for breeding purposes but we've decided to cut back on the herd and concentrate on just breeding appaloosas. She has a red dun stud colt by her side that was born on Derby Day (May 3) and he will be sold separately....
We acquired her at a horse sale in TX in which she was ridden through the ring but after we got her home, we found out she is unrideable. Mercedes would make a great broodmare addition to a QH breeding program.
On her papers: DOC BAR, DRY DOC, BOSTON MAC, AND JR BONANZA.
Mercedes Pedigree This is Tuff's dam.....he can be seen on the 2008 Foal Page.
