Remudamom Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) and then I'll give it up. I just found out that this horse: http://www.dreamhorse.com/show_horse.php?form_horse_id=1533106&share_this=Y is very close to here. Very close. Word is the owners paid $30,000 for him. He is a Shining Spark son. I have ALWAYS dreamed about owning one of his offspring. He's from the Carol Rose ranch in Texas, and Clinton Anderson buys horses from them. There's a video on the ad. Not perfect, but pretty dang impressive. The stud fee is ridiculously low for some reason. I have no Quarter horse mares left. If Memphis was alive she'd be there tonight. I can't decide whether to beat my head against the wall or just break down and cry. Edited April 24, 2010 by Remudamom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Sorry, I refuse to let this go until my online horse buddies get their donkeys over here and moan about this with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I feel for you!! Are you just perfectly sure you can't work it out?? Borrow a Mom for that baby you need?? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesa Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Oh!!!!! he's just magnificent!!! If I had a mare now I'd be sending her to that stud too. WOW. I was just thinking about you... and your horse. I lost a really good horse a few yrs back and shortly after I decided to sell all of my livestock and move to a house with covenants.... STUPID STUPID me.. it wasnt my best move ever hahaha. Now we're looking to sell our house and move someplace with acreage so I can get horses again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothersweets Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Oh, he is nice! Do you know someone with a mare you like that would be willing to lease her to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Well, I just sold her dam, Shiloh about a month ago to a good friend. Shiloh's a bit prettier than Memphis was, but I doubt she'd want to breed her. Sometimes things just don't work out. One of the kids told me to bring in my Arabian mare, but aside from the fact she's Arabian, not Qh, she's almost impossible to settle. The only reason I got a filly out of her is because we let her run with our stallion for about six months. And the last time we bred her to a Qh stallion she lost the baby, almost died and took a couple of years to recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmermom3 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I need to stay away from your posts. They make me horse-sick. It's been so long, Dick Shrake was the name in Quarter Horse training and we were breeding Khemosabi Arab lines. I think I'll go cry in a corner but thanks for sharing the pics.

Liz CA Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) If my 22yo gelding was a mare and not 22 years old, I'd give *her* to you to breed and let you keep the baby. Unfortunately, this won't help much. :tongue_smilie: Is he part of the "Doc" & "Little Lena" line? I've been out of the breeding circles for too long to recognize any other names.

Granny_Weatherwax Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Throwing in my whine, too. That stallion and the mare I just sold are related (Doc Bar and Doc Olena). I will sneak into the stable, wrangle my mare, and bring her to you. She has wonderful babies who make money in the ring. BTW - what is the current penalty for stealing horses?

Last I checked it was a hanging offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shalom22 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I will whine with you. What a beautiful animal. I love reining horses, I had a colt of Risky Business about 20 years ago that I had high hopes for. But I lost him in a fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
