I can relate alot to a previous poster who'd decided to disperse, but, just couldn't. I dearly love the lil horses. With my nice boys, seeking out certain lines/mares for crosses, comparing mine to those of others', etc., the work and commitment to be the best breeder for the animals I love has consumed me for over a decade. I've happily pursued my passion, fortunate to be able to do so 24/7. However, as a friend stated, 'you've put the animals' welfare before your own for far too long'. And, over time, we change. I've always struggled with my decision to leave my family in St. Louis, Mo., but, after losing my leg, felt it necessary. Losing my sweet, Daddio has been worse than I imagined, and, has made me long for my family even more. My Mom's turning 80 and moving to an assisted living apartment. I need to be there more.
Honestly, I don't know what i'm going to do. My herd's the best it's ever been! In fact, recently added the handsome, blk/wht, homozygous, BREWERS CLASSIC STARMAKER, along with a loud, homo, pintaloosa, Orion Commander daughter, thanks to Bev Thawley of Knollac Farm, and, KC and Vicki of Boothill Transport. A trainer friend, I've known for years just visited, and, amid conversation remarked, 'nobody compares to DESIGN'. I KNOW!? Still, it's been an uphill climb. I haven't, yet, achieved my goal of a World title in Get of Sire for DARK DESIGN, and, TALENT's equally as good or better!
So, I'm doing/considering a number of things i.e. selling and/or leasing some, shopping real estate back home and, also, closer to DFW, thinking about having a roommate, being a farm mgr., etc. Something needs to change so I can, at least, get home more, regularly, without worrying about my horses. I probably will move home in the near future, I just don't think I can quit breeding right now! Wish I could figure out a way to live off season in Mo. and show season in Tx.! lol I'm open to anything.
First, I have 2 very nice boys, and, a very tall and pregnant, blk/wht mare I would all but give away to appropriate homes. Boys would make excellent, youth/amateur/gelding prospects. One is 2 yrs, 32", 2x Orion and twin to his grandsire, Orion Fantastic, likely, homo, too. The other is a yrlg, will mature about 31", is black and much finer in type, Irish Ladd/BTU lines. Both are pretty headed.
I do have ONE, AWESOME, blk/wht, DESIGN filly. Filly's dam is tall, necky, pretty headed, Gambling Mans Good Luck dtr. To Show Home Only.
Lancelot/Kid Banana yrlg filly, twin to sire, overo top/bottom, head to die for!
Idol/Hawk, palomino overo, yrlg dtr, dam is full sis to Holly Hawk!
Silent Investor dtr, 2 yr old, blue eyed, frame overo with a pretty head and can move!
2 Gambling Man Good Luck dtrs, red/wht on my site bred back to DESIGN, and, a palomino/wht out of a DESIGN dtr!!
Dynamic Debonaire/Orion Fantastic silver dapple pinto, possibly homo, showy yrlg filly
Debonaire/Runnin Bare, tall sorrel with 4 stockings, in foal to DESIGN, LM owns the dam!
Happy Appy/Dels tall, almost bald faced, tovero pintaloosa in foal to DESIGN
Desert Storm/Dels, beautiful headed app mare with topline/tailset like DESIGN, dam of Multi Champion Homestead No Regrets, bred to TALENT
Dandy/Peppy Power/EK darling, silver mare, big mover, bred to TALENT
D's Casanova/Dynamo Delite mare, her sire is a FULL BRO to AMERICAN EXPRESS, in foal to 3x World Ch., Dreamison.
Above are newer ones, the rest are listed on my site, mare page.
THIS ISN'T A FIRE SALE. These ARE NOT consignments or culls. This is a stunning group of girls, most with color, that's taken all my 13 yrs to research, find, afford, and assemble in number. Each chosen with a particular thought in mind as to which boy they would compliment perfectly. Contact me for pix or additional info.
I can help you find transport. Free board for up to 30 days. Short term, interest free financing to qualified buyers. I'd be more than happy to cross with appropriate boy, as I planned, for additional fee.
SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY
**AND, darling, Papillon pups available for Xmas!!
