About us...We're long time breeders of fine horses for sporting
purposes. The majority of our Appaloosas and Thoroughbreds have top
quality racing pedigrees. A horse can "outrun" its pedigree, but
seldom "out produce" it. Champion families will continue to produce
champions, from generation to generation. Trendy bloodlines eventually
fade, but those known for producing soundness and durability keep going. Quality does pass on.
If speed is what you need, you'll find it here.
Many of our horses have gone on to compete in racing, halter, western
pleasure,
barrel racing, roping, reining, dressage, jumping and 3 day
eventing. No matter what discipline you are in, we have youngsters to
fit every need. Our goal is to raise you a good horse...not be your
competition.
News...This has been a
very sad week for us. The time that I had been dreading for several
years finally came. We had Zarf put down on Monday. His cancer
finally won. It first appeared six years ago. After the second
surgery, it was clear that when it came back, there would not be much else
that could be done. Only so much tissue could be taken away.
We had several bonus years while the cancer seemed to
be in remission. This fall we noticed some redness again. In the
few weeks since the holidays, it came back with a vengeance and literally
exploded. We noticed last Friday that the lymph nodes in the area of
his rear legs had started to swell. His condition deteriorated rapidly
between then and Monday.
Since then, I've shed many tears. Zarf was a
mama's boy all the way. There will, never be another horse in my life
as good as he was. A Patty Loveless song comes to mind. Life's
about changes...it's okay to hurt, it's okay to cry...how can I help you say
goodbye? Thanks for all the wonderful memories big guy.
Thanks for visiting with us. Come back soon to see what's new.
