Our Mares

1991 - 2007 Thoroughbred Mare
“No Pennies”

In Memory of Penny…
    During the early morning hours of Thursday June 7th, Penny went into labor. Things were not right, however, and shortly after she started pushing, she suffered an intestinal prolapse.  To further complicate an already dire situation, the foal was malpositioned with a leg back and due to the prolapsed intestines we were unable to reach it to deliver it.  With Kim at my side and the help of my daughter Victoria and friend Jeremy we tried everything possible to get the foal out even though the vet said it was impossible.  Vets were unable to get out to her in time and even with every effort we lost both her and her foal to this very rare occurrence.   This was a devastating experience for us and I want to thank all who were there for us, I could never have gotten through it alone.
    For those who knew Penny, knew she was an outstanding and loving mare as well as an incredible mother who blessed us with two wonderful colts; Quincy and Cooper.  She was known and loved by many.
    I know she is in a good place now over the Rainbow bridge, with her new foal at her side but she will be missed more than words can describe. 
We love you and miss you Penny….

"Penny" as we call her, is a beautiful 15'1 bay thoroughbred mare. Don't let her size fool you, she is know for throwing very large babies. She has great confirmation and very balanced fluid motion. Her sire "Key to the Mint" is the top international brood mare sire. Penny is an extremely sweet mare, always looking for attention and will follow you anywhere. Doing well under saddle, and we hope to show her next year in hunter and pleasure classes. This year we had an outstanding foal from her to "Quinn" Friesian Stallion(16h and still growing) the son of the late, great "Teunis 332" (17h) and a star mare. He was awarded a very respectable 2nd Premium at the inspections in Holland for conformation and movement. "Quinn" has all the traits Friesians are known for : nobility, beauty, disposition, movement, intelligence and an abundance of hair to go along with his gentle, tractable nature. And it is seen that these wonderful traits are carried on to his progeny.
In 2006 we have decided to put her awesome pedigree to use and have bred
her to Good Shepherd for what should be one incredible racing prospect.

1998 Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse

"Whispers Whimsical Dream"

"Jersey" As we call her is a beautiful gentle giant. Going about 17hh
and well built. Her movements are big, bold and very animated.
She has a very quiet and loving disposition, and is just a joy to have.

She is currently my hubbys' trail horse and my daughter will
probably do some ring work for english hunter or western pleasure.
With time being so limited and too many horses to work,
We have decided that Jersey's talents would be put to better use
and have decided to sell her to and wonderful gentleman, she will
be a partner in a pair driving time and should just love this new job.
We will miss her greatly, she is an absolutely the sweetest mare.
