Echo Springs' Fancy Freckles:
Freckles is a 1992 mare, and the dam of WGC Patriot's
New York, New York. She has a nice foxtrot and a
sweet disposition. Freckles is a wonderful trail horse
and patient and forgiving kid's horse. Thanks to
Freckles, Dave's son DJ is finally getting to ride on his
own, at age 6.
We just purchased Freckles this fall, and have enjoyed
her immensely in that short time. She has the sort of
character that seems to only come with wise older
horses who have been well loved and oft spoiled.
Okay... I will freely admit it~ that is not likely to change
here either.
Freckles has some unusual markings as well: a clearly
defined Cross on her chest, and one perfectly oval spot
situated evenly between her nostrils, right on the velvety
part of her nose. Of course I had to dub that her "Kiss
Here" spot!
Freckles has a nice foxtrot and a running walk
Thank you to Dr. Roger Cole for selling us this sweet
sweet horse.
Freckles is in foal to Golden Don for an April foal. In
utero foal price is $2,000

Angel's Blue Diamond:
MFTHBA # 84-25936
Koscot's Jerimiah Chief x Sam's Angel
Queen
Shown here at age 23, Blue is my "horse of a
lifetime". She is a absolute powerhouse of a
mare, with more gears than any horse needs.
We are planning to try an endurance ride for
the first time this year, although she will be 24
years old this spring.
Bue is still my #1 saddlehorse, and she
hasn't slowed down a lick. Blue can perform
a foxtrot and running walk, but her gait of
choice is a smooth fast rack.
I'm sorry, Blue is not available for the
create-a-foal program

Charmalee's Thriller:
MFTHBA # 88-32467
Koscot's Thriller x Charmalee II
I fell in love with CT years before I ever met her. The
year was 1998, and she and her former owner Erin
Stevens were competing in Ava for the High Point
Versatility award to see if they could win the coveted
Garland for a second year in a row. Me? I was stuck in
IN without no trailer in those days, but was working on
versatility with my foxtrotter gelding, so I had a keen
interest in the horses being shown in this very new
discipline.
Yep, they won their title for the second year in a row!
Years later I found CT for sale on the internet. I
discovered not only a show mare, but a wonderfully
sweet and kind individual who was also a fantastic trail
horse. This decision took no thinking over at all, and CT
came home with me.
Thank you Erin, for parting with your beautiful girl.

Emporer's Travellin' Lass:
MFTHBA # 01-70901
Emporer's Final Edition Y x Radar's Scarlett Lady
My first internet horse purchase! Talk about scared to death. I
had nothing but the word of the seller, and a video tape of her
at 4 weeks old which I had played over and over til I practically
killed it. I had sent my deposit, and counted the days until
she would be weaned and the truck would meet me halfway
with her.
The day arrived, the trailer door was opened for me, and their
she stood, amazed to see daylight again, and wondering who
on Earth this stranger was. She quickly overcame this
though, and to this day still considers herself to be my special
baby. She gave me a beautiful blue roan filly this spring, who
is every bit as sweet as her mom.
Nice true roan mare, shown successfully in English and
Western Pleasure at Ava. Loves people more than other
horses, super gaited with both a foxtrot and running walk.
create a foal price is $1800 SOLD
Congratulation to the Spurgeon's for their purchase of
Lass's 2009 Foal!

Wizard's Luck O the Irish
MFTHBA # 07-91190
Cast Iron Wizard H. x Emporer's Travellin' Lass
Weanling filly out of Lass, and Wizard. I dreamed of creating
this foal from the time I first bought Lass. Six years later, she
is here! Very gaited, so far she has demonstrated only a
foxtrot, with a good amount of shake and reach.
Irish is so much like her mom, sometimes I feel as though I've
been transported back in time. And of course... I feel the
same impatience: I can't wait for her to grow up. I can't wait to
ride her. I can't wait til it's spring just so I can get some more
pictures and see what she looks like when she sheds out!!

Rage's Baby Blue H: A dream of a ride, Baby Blue was
owned and trained by Ron Hollandsworth until we purchased
her recently. A show horse deluxe, this girl can walk a hole in
the ground. Second gear is nice too, but with that walk it's
rarely needed!
There will be lots more pictures of her once spring arrives,
and we start to make some memories of our own.
"Bloobie" is in foal to Wizard for a 2009 foal.
In utero price is $2,000

sweet and personable, and like the others, comes to the
fence to meet you. For sale due to a hay shortage in IN
this year.
Lady is in foal to Wizard for October, 2008.
In utero price for foal is $1500

The success of any breeding program rests heavily upon the shoulders of it's
mares. No stallion in the world can compensate for a lack of quality mares. In
addition to supplying 50% of the genetic makeup, the mare is also, for better or
worse, THE role model to their impressionable young foals.
We are huge fans of older horses... they have so much to offer in terms of
enjoyment and sheer experience, and they also offer the added benefit of helping
to ensure that their foals also have the genetic makeup necessary to live both long
and useful lives. After all, who wants to sink a dozen years of training,
friendship, and care into their foal, only to listen in dismay as your vet concludes
that his useful years are over...at a far too young age!
