Flashy, beautiful head and neck, elegant filly that should be tall - two hind stockings and a bald face with dark eyes complete the package! A full sister to this 2004 colt

Skipper W bred on the top side, out of a Western Pleasure bred mare - smooth, easy mover, elegant filly, pretty head and face.  This filly ran into the barn door as a yearling and the vet believes she dislocated her shoulder.  She has recuperated from that quite well - she gradually improved over the summer of 2007 and by fall she was sound on it, but not going out of her way to run and play much.  She continued to improve over the winter, and has built the muscle back up that atrophied during her injury and recuperation.  She's sound and moving out well on it, she runs and plays and is usually the one who starts the games with the other fillies, so I know she's feeling good about moving out on it.  I believe she will certainly be broodmare sound, and I also believe she can be ridden.  I am not sure that she'd be up to the rigors of hard daily riding - only time will tell on that issue.  She's friendly and sweet, ought to mature out 15.2 hh."

This horse has been a part of our family here since 1999, and has been quite an asset to our program along the way.  He has been started, and is ready for you to finish out in the direction of your choice.  He would make a great ranch horse, and I believe he'd do working cow.  He is nimble and athletic and is ready to go to work for you.  He has a beautiful head, and stamps his babies with his head and lots of athleticism. 

Both foals are 91.5%  foundation (NFQHA)

Meet the #1 son of Peanut

Pedigree

This is the first foal by Peanut, (Skips Awesome Shadow), our palomino Skipper W stallion, and boy is he a dandy! This colt has a head and neck to die for, is an incredibly smooth and easy mover, has lots of muscle definition and color to boot. He's buckskin, with gray eyes and a lot of silvering in his mane and tail. He's got a "smudge" just under his left eye and another under his forelock, a strip and a snip, and two short socks in the rear. This colt is something special, and has "Stud Prospect" written all over him. He is Incentive Fund Registered. His sire, Peanut, is a fifth generation palomino, so the color gene in this colt is strong. This colt's dam is western pleasure bred, and this boy has a real smooth, elegant way of moving. If this colt is left a stallion, we reserve the right to five breedings to him over his lifetime. 

Check out the pedigree and the definition in this May, 2004 filly by RLB Bueno Image (Whizzy). From Daddy Whizzy's side, she's got Poco Bueno, Otoe, Jessie James and a couple of extra shots of King. From Mamma's side, she's got Doc Bar, Poco Tivio twice, MORE Poco Bueno, Triple's Image and Showdown! When this filly hit the ground I thought about calling her "Spider" because she was so long-legged. She's going to be big and tall and stout and is showing a lot of that Foundation breeding in her conformation. Daddy's 15.3 hh /1,350# and still growing, and I believe this filly will be a good solid 15.2. Mamma is a "tank" herself, though she's only about 14.3. This filly is quick but still quiet and easy going, friendly and just wants to get along with you. She has a big kind liquid eye. This mare will make a good level-headed mountain horse, roping horse, or just a good versatile all-around horse. 

Our goal is maintaining and improving the quality and integrity of the breeds.  We do not breed to any horse that traces to the AQHA stallion “Impressive”
