Flashy Colours

I was always fascinated with the paint horse and it was the first horse I bought in February 1999.  I saw him as a weanling, hanging out with his mama in the Rockies. Two years later I owned him. His prior owners named him Jumping Jack Flash and I renamed and registered him as Quahilli. Quahilli means "Little Boy Who Runs" in the First Nations language.

Whichever name we gave him, he lived up to. He has a lot of pep and spirit and after one year I re-sold him back to his breeder. He now has a full time job working in the Rockies.

My next paint was Mekeezun, registered as Cuedeebarhemp. Her story can be found under In Memory Of.

In July 2003 I purchased Docs Pine Bar a sorrel and white tobiano paint. His lineage shows all Q-horses and paints. Solid foundation on both sides. And he looks it. I named him Cloud. He was born April 23 2000 and is a well turned out lad, great for trail riding and for fun activities. He does anything I ask of him and is a lot of fun in the process.

In November 2006 I purchased Ruby Racer, a black and white  tobiano paint.  I renamed him Ouray, which means "Arrow" in a First Nations language. His birth date was May 6 2004.  His lineage has mostly tobiano with only two Q-horses going back 4 generations.  Ouray is not built in the foundation manner at all. A lot sleeker and he has some great moves. I am finishing his training but he needs his own special friend. He can be found under  Registered Paint Gelding For Sale

My two Friesian crosses, Metina and Nitika have a touch of their mother, Mekeezun, but mostly seem to have their father's influence. You can find more out about Nitika under   Friesian Sport Horse Sold.  And more about Metina under Friesian sport mare SOLD

Boomer, registered AQHA as Lovyatildeendatime is an appendix Q-horse. He was born in March 30 1989 and is the grandson of Affirmed, the last winner of the Triple Crown. Boomer has a lot of fast moves and a very independant personality. He was ridden by a friend of mine and the two looked like they were meant for each other. Now he is retired from active riding.

Equinox, a T-bred who lived here, died September 9, 2010 at the age of 30. He is missed by Betty the donkey and all the other girls in the pasture. Aztec my current boarder is a former pasture mate of Equinox, Aztec is about 21 or so and is looking forward to retirement. Pip, my second board is here until November and he is a young Morgan. Pip's owner is very involved in Parelli Natural Horsemanship and has done amazing things with him.
