I have some very exciting news!!
Abby has a new boyfriend!!!... and guess what, he is quite the STUD!!!
.... I am SUPER DUPER EXCITED.....THRILLED TO BITS..... TICKLED PINK.... (you get the point)... to tell you all that McBride's Quarter Horses (the wonderful people who have Abby on a breeding lease) just purchased a GORGEOUS new stallion that will be bred to Abby this Spring... which I feel will be an AMAZING cross!
And.... subsequently...
I now have a paid breeding to JUMPING JACK WHIZ a very fancy SON of the FIRST EVER (new 2/29/09) 6 MILLION NRHA SIRE, TOPSAIL WHIZ!!
I am simply IN LOVE with this stud.
He is EVERYTHING I look for in a reiner...he has just the right look, just the right conformation, a million dollar head set, the right kind of movement, the style.....he is powerful, athletic, pretty, talented... simply AWESOME!!!
In fact, I am SO excited about this stallion, that I am thinking I might just hang on to that breeding till next year and see what happens.... because I would LOVE to own one of his foals.
This, people, is what you want a reiner to look like...
Check out this video... Especially watch the run down at the very end...that, IMHO, is picture perfect!
What I really like about this stud is that he not only performed (NRHA $ earner of 55,000+) but he was still showing and still SOUND at age 15!!!
Now THAT says something!
I just cant wait to see what Abby and JJ will produce!
I didn't know your mare was at McBrides! I live close to one of their other ranches, but I used to live 10 minutes away from the one in Medical Lake!
ReplyDeleteAnywho...this is very exciting news. JJ is a good looking man! It's funny, though, how you talked yourself out of AJ because he's so green and you need a more experienced horse, and your next post is about wanting a horsecolt! Haha! But shoot - this isn't really an opportunity you can pass up, now is it?
Something for you at Life on the Farm!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I guess your work with AJ will prepare you for whatever's coming next. I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteDont forget that if I bred Abby next year I'd be a full two years away from seeing a foal...and four + years away from starting it...
ReplyDeleteSo I have a while yet to worry about the particulars! lol
Wow-he is gorgeous! Definitely the full package-beauty, brains and athletic too!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous! That is gonna be a pretty baby :)
That boy can sit 'em down. Beautiful, athletic and responsive. And watching him move in his own paddock... awesome.
