YEA. Gotta win, money and Buckle

We just got back from the weanling futurity and won the SSF and got reserve on the open. Won about $1000.00 and a buckle with the pali colt.

I will get a pic posted when I get his show shot.. This was our last year and it was so nice to come in to this one and win and go out a winner..

We have been going to this show for 9 years. LOVED IT!!! I have friends I meet up with all the way from Vancouver Islands (BC) to AZ. None of them were there and they even had empty barns. They used to have to pull out portable stalls.. Just a couple of venders..... SUCKED..

This show has a 2yr old western pleasure futurity with a $20,000.00 purse for 1st place. They started that few years ago to draw people in. They seem to have just about shut themselves down. It had to have cost the Washington QHA a huge loss.. Really is sad..

Great Job!! Looking forward to seeing the show pics. So when you say that this is your last year does that mean your not gonna show anymore What will you do with all those pretty babies then? OK, you can just send them to me.

Good job. Can't wait to see the pics.

Well, Mare. there will not be anymore horses here and we will sell and move to town.. Sad story, but true... I might just send you a few.. When the time comes and they all have to go.. Don't worry, I will not send you Tom..

Lonnie is not going to Spokane.. I am bringing my stall lady.. Just going to be the grills...

wOO hOO yOU GO GIRL, WHO WAS LEADING HIM. You, What class, Details girl, Details.

Ok, Chuck Bruner was leading.. And Bryan was a putz.. I normally have to send mine out since I cannot be consitent with the training. I was going to have my stall gal work him. But, he had her in his pocket and I did not want that to be the way he started.. I hope she can stop letting him rule so she can keep him going after some time off.. He is a smart little tooter as 7c would say and he can put on the drama... LOL. I would just knock him in the head.

My new job may allow me 4 days a week to get out and do it. I like to do my fitting around 6am. The halter horse is really at it's best early in the morning before breakfast..

My new job

Well Congrats! New job... Yeah!

Well you should be in Spokane now. I dont think I'm gonna make it. But I wish you the best of Luck!! I will be watching it on the live stream so wave to me . The vet was out on the filly and she has to drop 125-150lbs in 45 days. She is gonna be so skinny it will make me sick. And she's not liking the Jenny Craig thing. But if it helps her legs it will be worth it. He said he might have to do another surgery but doesnt want to talk about that yet. She's gonna be my million dollar horse but I have to do everything I can since I brought her into the world.

Well, I didn't see you did you see me....
This like everything else was small the breedings did not sell for much and many did not sell at all. I was happy with how we did until I called Lonnie and asked him if he was watching it. He said he was and bidding.. He bought the dang breeding to our stud.. GAUD.. Now we can double dip next time as the mare owner and stallion owner.. I did not want to do that and there were other people bidding on him..

Now I need to findone bang up paint mare to do this with.. Not getting anywhere near getting out of the horses....

I was watching you too. Well you do what you have to do. And you sold your Paint mare at the wrong time. So how did the futurity go? Do you know how much was paid out for the weekend? I will be there for sure next year. By the way you looked pretty hot on the internet I even called and told them whoever was running the camera needs to shut up so we can here the actioneer better.

I still have two paint mares.. I only watched a little of the mare owners filly class. The 1st place filly took just short of $6000.00 and the second was close to $4000.00. How is that for a piece of the pie

Ten stallions did not sell. So, if you think you want in you should find out who they are..

Thanks for the comliment. I sure like the way Tommy is when I put that lip chain on him and take him out. That is the only time he wears one and that tells him what time it is and what he needs to do for me.. The gal who went with me said he was the only one who just squared right up and did his thing. Not bad for a horse that has not been shown much.


My freind took some shots of him outside earlier. I will post them when I get them from her later today. Going to pick up my pali colt and will get the disk with the shots on them. I think we got some really good ones. I had her husband hold him since he looks better then I do on the end of the shank..

Tommy acted great, didnt get out of line once that I could see. I was thinking that you about sold everything. I still have my breeding That I bought last time. They carry it over for one year and thats it for the futurity. Cant wait to see the pics!!

Pictures, Pictures.. Yeah.. Love seeing everyones pictures! Cant wait.

OK, I hope these are not too big. I just loaded them off the disk I got from my friend. Tommy never does anything naughty when he is with me. He did really strut his stuff when he got home.. We had to stop at the door coming in the barn and be reminded we do not talk or act that way.. Only two reminders on the way past the mares.. We think he looks pretty good for an aged stallion that has not been worked or fit for about three years now.

He looks awesome for not being fitted! I love that head, thats one beautiful boy you have there.

Look at the ole man with his fancy white stockings! What a guy!

I love the socks. Really makes that sorrel stand out. What I really like about him is that he is natural and not man made.. I have been told that size and muscle comes from DO DO CHICK.. Fun to talk to the ole timers that have seen and done ever thing. They say that DO DO CHICK was MASSIVE.. There was nothing like that in his time. And, he was running lines.. There is a lot of consitency in his lines as you can see.. A few of them look just alike. The Dignitary is still alive and in our area. I have not seen him in person. But, he sure put his stamp on my horse and his sire..

Here is a shot of DO DO CHICK (great grandsire on dams side)



Mr Tenacity Tommy's sire



The Dignitary (great grandsire, sire side)



You can find some really great shots of the sires on the web. I managed to find all of them on Tom's pedigree.. The only one I could only get head shot of was Sucha Smoothie. I am still looking for a body shot of him.

Tommy looks awesome! What a pretty boy with his crome! Those are very nice pictures.

wow,wow ,wow why cant we have horses like that over here

You can have them like that over there. You just do not buy them. I love to have an NN horse that looks NH.. It's all about the breeding and the lines you go to. I have an ancestors section on my site and if you look they all look the same. The older horses that are on there came way before all the BS people do to make them look that way.. That is very important when you breed your horses.. I have a look I like to see on a horse. This is it..

I took some shots of the pali colt today.. Here they are.. I really like this colt and once I get his neck where it should be I will be very happy with him. These are in the back yard with a very amy photographer.. ME...

wow stunning is all i can say.

People over here only really want the reiners,they not into Halter horses. We need Halter horses that you can ride aswell.

Because we small Island and the western side of things so small we cant specialise in any particular discipline as such. As reining is becoming mega popular thats all people go for,except the few of which im one.

Oh, we went threw that spell for a while here to.. Comes and goes....

Hes, a Doll! Love that color.. Your trainer did a really good job Fitting him... You should be very proud.

They did a great job on him. The only thing I am not happy with is his neck is too heavy. He was not in very good shape when he went to them. He was so stressed about weaning. They just had a few months and he really needed some weight packed on him. And of course some of that went to his neck. I am working on that now. He was a bit of an idiot when he left here too. Now his is a nice colt to be around.

Just wanted to say congrats Bluejay, the horses look awesome and that little Pally colt is just a DOLL!

HEY SB, I had a gal email me from Northern AZ with a mare to sell. I didn't have your email address so gave her your site address.. I told her that you and a few down there buy horses from time to time and may be interested.. The pics she sent me were TERRIBLE.. But, the mare sounded like she might be worth a look..
