Our Mares
As responsible breeders, we are currently in the process of testing our mares for PSSM, GBED and HERDA. Any Impressive-bred horse in our program is HYPP N/N.

The most important thing is how they look. They have to look good." We disagree. Sure, looks count. It's always nice to be beautiful, even if you're a horse! The truth is, a horse with excellent looks... but a rotten mind, limited athletic ability, genetic and conformational defects and a nowhere pedigree is not what 90 percent of the population looks for when choosing a horse. That's why we readily share our philosophy when it comes to not only our mares, but horses in general: We want more than just another pretty face. And while no two breeders share exactly the same philosophy for what it takes to produce a good colt or filly, most breeders believe certain elements are involved if you want to increase the genetic odds for a good horse. As with our stallions, the mares in our program are selected based on several elements. Listed are some of our criteria: Our mares must exhibit an easy-going temperament. Our mares must be receptive to training. Our mares must have correct conformation and good ground manners. Our mares must have strong performance pedigrees. Our mares must be good mothers and good milkers. Our mares must be broke to ride and smooth-gaited. Our mares must be HYPP N/N if Impressive-bred. ***If we have purchased a broodmare who is not broke to ride, her get must have exhibited the above criteria to remain in our program. Our mares include own daughters of Dreamfinder, Ima McLoud, Mighty White Brother, and granddaughters of Prince Plaudit, Mighty Peavy, Spittin Image, Docs Prescription, My Skip Vanzi and Bonanza Dee Bar. Give us a ride that can do it all... and look good doing it! |
