1996 MPHA/KMSHA mare. Solid true black with a thick long mane and tail, Shadow stands 15.0 hands. I brought her out from Kentucky as a late 3yo with very little saddle experience and had her started by a professional for 30 days - then hit the trails with her. Within a few weeks I was able to put dead beginners on her. She is one laid back, nothing bothers me horse! She will go anywhere you ask of her, no matter what level of rider is on her and is always sweet and a delight to handle. She has never shown any bad habits and she s the one I put small children on when they come to visit. Shadow has been a wonderful producer for me.
1995 RMH/KMSH chocolate mare with star, snip and 2 hind socks. "Lucy" (barn name) is a 14.2 hand, super quirky and lovable mare that thinks she's a big puppy. She has been my primary trail mount for the last two years and has a wonderful gait and tons of experience horse camping and trail riding. She is sired by Rocky II, a grandson of Clemon's Tim. Lucy foaled a wonderful chocolate filly in April 2007 that was sired by El Cid. I call her "Chyna Doll" and she is just cute as a bug! She's got her mommy's look at me attitude and is easy as they get in temperment! I have again left Lucy open for some more trail riding in 2008.
1991 KMSHA mare. Chestnut/flaxen and 14.3 hands of gaiting machine!!! This mare has a fabulous ground covering walk, slow gait, very fast gait and a sweet canter. She has great endurance and heart and will do anything asked of her, cross anything, scale up and down mountains with amazing surefootedness and is ridden barefoot on all terrain. She comes direct from the hills of eastern Kentucky - a true mountain horse!! She produces wonderful foals in all colors, with even 4 beat gait, beauty and good bone and feet.
Bonnie was my first and favorite mountain horse mare I have ever ridden. She could "fly" in gait and was the most honest, sensible horse I've had the pleasure of knowing. She was found to have cancer in her throat and was humanely euthanized in Jan 2006. She was my wonderful little red, gaiting ferrari and it will be hard to fill those horseshoes.
5/2002 RMHA/KMSHA mare. Raven is a solid black - the first foal out of my mare Shadow and by RMHA/KMSHA state champion and 2001 High Point Stallion, J.Lee's Rock-it. I selected Rock-it to sire two foals in 2002 for his natural, wonderful way of going and this boy can really move!!! Raven is just gorgeous!! She has her sire's elegant neck and perfect conformation yet she is her mama's temperment - sweet, sweet, sweet!! Raven's training was started in July 2004 and after two sessions of ground schooling, she was being ridden bareback and in a halter around the fields. After a few more rides, my trainer was putting her 8yo son on to ride her around bareback also!! She has the temperment these horses are famous for and with her perfect gait and good looks, will make an awesome trail mount and broodmare. Raven was bred to my stallion Sundown for a 2008 foal. This will be my first 3rd generation foal to be born here and I am very much looking forward to this baby.....with the wonderful gaits and temperment of both of these horses! This is one to watch for!
Shadow taking Caleb out for his 8 year old "birthday ride" at Annadel State Park. This is this mares first trail ride in a year.
Mocha-Chino
2001 RMHA/KMSHA black mare. Mocha is 14.3 hands with a small star as her only marking. She has a beautiful little head and short back and a nice ambling gait. She is very sweet and loves attention.She is by Kilburn's Sundown J Boy by KCS and the Nance II mare and her dam is Doc's Lady J by Dock. In 2006 Mocha had her first foal...a gorgeous solid chocolate colt with white mane and tail that I called "Cosmo". She put her sweet temperment and wonderful looks and gait on this baby
(see his pics under her pedigree and offspring). Mocha has been bred to Chocolate Sundown's Heir for a 2008 foal. Can't wait to see this one!!
1996 RMHA/KMSHA palomino mare. Calli was bred by ER Davis and is a big bodied pretty 15 hand palomino with a star and snip as her only markings. She has been used as a brood mare by the previous owners for the last 3 years and has produced another fine foal with their stallion that was born Dec 1st 2005. (see the baby on the babies page). Calli is a direct daughter of Maple's Squirrel - a son of Tobe. Her dam is Missie by Choco Dock. She throws her nice hip and good conformation on her babies. Calli produced yet another gorgeous chocolate filly in 2007. Skye is well gaited and sweet in temperment like her dam and you can see her on the sale page. This mare is so consistent in producing top quality babies. Calli has been bred to El Cid for a much anticipated 2008 foal!
1995 RMHA/KMSHA black mare. I've been calling this mare "Lexington" or "Lexi" for short. I have been looking for a black Ramblin Rex daughter for a couple of years now and am SO pleased to have had the opportunity to buy this wonderful mare. She is a direct daughter of the marvelous stallion, Ramblin Rex by Buddy Roe and out of Heskel Back's April (a Tobe daughter). Her dam is Sandy's Sugar by Dock and a Yankee mare. Lexi is about 15.0 hands, black with two stockings behind and a star connecting to a stripe. She is just the sweetest thing in temperment and this girl can gait!! She comes flying across the pasture in gait and doesn't miss a beat. As a matter of fact, other than flat walking and cantering, I don't think I've seen her do anything but gait!! Lexi has wonderful stocky conformation with a big hip and wonderful neck. Lexi has produced a top quality black colt in 2007 sired by Redbud's Majic. I call him Ramblin Black Magic and he can be seen on the sale page. She produces very strongly gaited foals and now I know why. After not being ridden for many years, we rode Lexi in November for a few weeks before winter hit and man o man....this mare can gait and gait fast! She's amazingly smooth and never misses a beat. She is open this year and will be bred in the spring of 2008 to my stallion, Sundown. Crossing this Ramblin Rex daughter with this KSC x Yankee line stallion will surely produce about the best foal ever!
Calli out with her filly for the first time decided to hold her so she can't run off and play.
She's A Dandi
3/2003 RMHA mare. Dandi is a gorgeous, stocky 14.3 hand chocolate, white mane and tail mare that I had selected at the RMHA International show in 2006. She is very sweet and has wonderful conformation and natural gait. She has that nice old fashioned stocky rocky conformation with a lovely head and kind eye. Dandi is by a stallion called Pequeno Pedro that is by Pete, by Buddy Roe and Pedro's dam is a Dock mare. On the bottom side, she's by a foundation older mare called June-Bob that is a Johnson's Toby grandaughter. Dandi completed 90 days training with Bev Frost and has been certified to breed with RMHA. She is very well gaited and amazed me how relaxed and wonderful she was on her first few trail rides.....walks out on a loose rein but has a nice forward walk and a wonderful ambling gait. With her wonderful conformation, gait and temperment, she will be one top quality broodmare in the future.
Dandi tragically died in a freak pasture accident in November 2007. After only a few wonderful trail rides, it was a hard loss to endure.....she will be in my heart forever and greatly missed.
