ROUGE CHAMOIS
1993 Registered Chestnut TB

SAD DAY 4/11/08
Today we lost our beloved Roo to unknown causes.  She was in fine health with a good appetite and bright eyes.  There were no signs of distress and she had a peaceful expression.  We will sorely miss this wonderful mare.  She was truly a grand lady.  So until we meet on the otherside of this we bid you a fond and heartfelt farewell.
RIP


Roo is our TB mare but she looks and acts more like a QH.  Roo is a home bred mare and
 
never raced.  Working just doesn't suit her Diva status.  Roo has been shown
 
Hunter/Jumper, Dressage, and even Team Penning.  She can be idle in the pasture for
 
years at time and still ride just like the last time she was ridden.  


JANUARY 12,2008 CHESTNUT COLT BY SECRETLY REGAL

She produces foals that 

are athletic with temperaments that lend themselves to training.

  She is the Dam of our current APHA stallion.

TWO M COLONEL FINALLY

2001  Reg. APHA Bay Roan Tobiano

We purchased Nelly along with her Mother sight unseen just for their pedigrees basically.

We are very pleased with the mares themselves.  Poor Nelly seems to have had a bad

run-in with humans somewhere and now has some serious trust issues we are 

working on.  We are happy to say she is coming around nicely.  Nelly produced a 

very nice, even if he was solid, Bay Roan colt 09/09/06.  Nickle was well built and

just as sweet as he could be.  Nelly is in foal to our Overo stallion, Barefut Ruckus 

Raider, for a May 2008 foal.  We can hardly wait.  This should be a very versatile foal.

She's here!!  Born 5/18/08 at 7:00am.

CEE MY CINNAMON DUST

1998 Reg. Gray AQHA

Cinnamon is another home bred mare.  She is foundation on the bottom and racing stock 

on the top.  Cinnamon is very laid back and serves regularly as a lesson horse for 

terminally ill/physically challeged and beginner children.  Her 2005 APHA foal has started
 
his undersaddle career with a bang earning 6 Blue ribbons in his first show!  Her 2007 colt 

is destined to be a cow horse and is now available for purchase.  
 

Jojos Cheyenne

2000 Reg. APHA Red Dun Tobiano

This seems to our year for rehabilitation.  We got this mare on 10/1/07.  We're calling her
 
Josie.  These photos are of Josie as of 1/1/08.  She has put on quite a bit of weight and 

most of her wounds are healed.  The people we got her from said she looked
 
worse when they bought her at auction shortly before they traded her to us.  We can't 

image what happened to have caused her injuries as we haven't had a lick of trouble from

her.  We managed to speak to a previous owner and discovered we are at least the 3rd set
 
of owners to have her in just 6 weeks.  We also found out she was confirmed in foal to that 

owners stallion.  Sadly due to all the trauma Josie has since aborted the foal.  Josie is 

recovering well and shouldn't have any permanant damage save a couple of scars.  I finally
 
got to try Josie under saddle over Christmas and New Years.  She's very green but willing
 
and sensible.  She will be an awesome trail horse shortly and even a show horse in time.  We took
 
Josie on a couple of trail rides recently.  We were very pleased with her willingness and her overall
 
fantastic behavior.  We even loaded her up and took her for our big ride at the Biltmore Estate.

Josie has earned a permanant home with us due her pleasant attitude and willingness to learn.  It

seems we have once again found a diamond in the rough.
