                Young Stock                  

Here are our "stars of tomorrow" up and coming in training.  They will be part of our breeding program someday, also. 

Sadly on June 12, 2009 during the storms that hit Atkins, a lightning strike took

all these beautiful girls from me. .I'm just not quite ready to take their pictures down. 

 

Puffies Tygerlily

2005 Quarter Horse

If you love ol' time Quarter Horse breeding, then you will love Lily.  She is a bulldog in build, solid in mind and very sweet..  She has Roan Light, Red Man, Poco Bueno and Three Bars in her family tree. 

Here is Lily getting her beginning education from Brad Williams.  He said she has tremendous potential as a ranch riding horse and has the easiest riding trot of any young horse he has ridden

Lily has just graduated from 60 days with Tony Jordan.  She is riding great and has very smooth gaits. Here are some photos and a video!

Hotroddin Ponko

2005 Quarter Horse

For Sale $3500 Firm

Here is another one for those Foundations Quarter Horse fans out there.  Birdie is out of Momma (King Ponkos Skip) on our Moms to Be Page .  She is a true Dun with the primitive markings on her legs, shoulders and back.  She is cutting bred from her sire's side and is quick as a cat and very light on her front end.  She will started under saddle in Fall 2007 and possibly in cutting or reining training when she is old enough.  Birdie has Doc's Fire, Skipper W and Mr Blackburn 31 in her lineage.

Here are some photos from Birdie's training session with Tony Jordan.  She is doing great!  Look at that fantastic extended trot.  Hmmmm...maybe dressage is her forte! Or maybe that stop with send her the reining pen!

 

 

 

Rafter Pride

2005 Quarter Horse

FOR SALE!  $2000  Price Negotiable to the right home!

Pride is a half sister to Lily.  She is from the outstanding breeding program of Mr. Charles Bewley's Rafter 4B Ranch.  She carries the bloodlines of Unika and Roman Mac in addition to the bloodlines she shares with Lily's sire.  She has the super foundation QH build and the brains to go with it.  She is very intelligent and very shy but once you earn her trust she will be your friend. 

Here are some photos of Pride's training session with Tony Jordan of Atkins, AR.  I'm very proud of how far she has come!
