"Slick"
Funny Face Too
1982 AQHA / NFQHA bay
grandson of Sir Quincy Dan (QH)
Slick came to us at
age 8. He'd already been cowboyed on longer than most
horses...and had the scars to prove it. He was to be my drill
team horse...he quickly changed our minds. "What's the use of
galloping around aimlessly?" he'd bog his head and say. : )
Give him a cow to chase and he'd run all day long for you...just
don't give him a "silly" job. He was tough and had a
hard-working attitude. He was the absolute best choice when we
were called out for Search & Rescue because you could take him
anywhere and do anything with him. His most recent task in
life was as Jade's 1st year 4-H horse. I hadn't seen him show
so much enthusiasm for a job in years. Cancer took him from us
at 26 years young.We miss you Licker. Send me
another just like you & I'll see you on the other side.

"Brenda"
Brenda came to us as an amazing babysitter. She was giving
lessons to young children, but her children had moved on to the next
level. We bought her without her AQHA papers, but we
understand that she once tore it up at the Cow Palace shows.
Brenda came to live with us when she was over 35. We knew that
her time might be short, but she gave Mark his first rides and Jade
some wonderful memories. Miss Brenda hadn't had teeth for a
few years, and had been retired (loving to 'grandmother' the weaned
foals) for several years before she decided that she was done.
She was close to 40 years old.
What a sweet old mare she
was.
We miss her much. |

Model Design
1990 sorrel overo mare
by Barlink Macho Man
out of a Jetalito daughter
Design was an amazingly sweet mare. She lived
with us for a time before we purchased her and we really felt she
was special. In an amazingly freak accident we lost this
awesome mare and her unborn foal. We were so looking forward
to many, many more years with her but it was not to be. She
lives on in her 4 fillies and their foals.
We miss you big girl. |

"Pretty Filly"
Un-named 2003 palomino/overo filly
by Final
Review
out of Pretty Girl CEO
Due to a freak accident, this "pretty filly" is no longer with us.
A tragic end to so much potential. We will never know if she would
have followed in her sister's footsteps.
We lost her wonderful dam (right)
a month later. |

Pretty Girl CEO
1989 sorrel/solid mare
by Warcloud
out of Warriors Kiss
Pretty Girl was put down due to severe distress from Strangles.
A baby-sitter to ride, and a sweetheart to all. She left in our
care several of her foals. We will cherish them because through
them she lives on. |

Super Gold Bar
1976-2003
AQHA palomino gelding
Flecks O' Gold x
Super Bar Doll
Gold Bar has long been a member of our family.
From drill team & parades to trail rides & Search and Rescue & even
bridleless rides...Gold Bar did it all with dignity and skill.
When his eyesight started deteriorating, he was retired to pasture to
watch over his 'herd' of mares & act as babysitter for the new foals.
When painful arthritis and blossoming cancer became unmanageable, we helped him end his life
with as much dignity as possible. Gold Bar leaves behind a legacy, not
only of spirit, but of flesh and blood as well. Sire of: 11 AQHA
foals & 1 APHA foal
RIP Old Friend |

CEO Zip Gone N Dun It
1998 APHA Solid Red Dun Colt
by Major Leo T Robins
x Robins Lonsum Spot x Mr Robin Boy
out of Zips Lady In Red
Zippo Pine Bar granddaughter
Sage was one of our own foals. A gorgeous colt, and
lovely smooth mover with a willing, very mellow disposition. We
planned to keep him as a personal riding horse, expecting he'd grow to
be a babysitter for grandkids. Sage didn't survive complications from
gelding. He lives on in memory of what could have been. |
