If you need some help just give a holler. Looking forward to seeing your crew! I well know what you mean about having a hard time letting them go. It's one big downer to breeding any. I don't like it at all but horses need jobs and you can only use so many! That doesn't make it any easier to say good-bye.

I haven't actually bred any Appaloosas any more for several years. I have retired two of my great mares and send them on retirement with some friends of mine.......................one, a Roman Cloud mare, is at a lady's that sits with her evenings and sings and plays her fiddle to her..................................the other , a half sister to her, is with 3 other horses and is getting pampered . The mare I still have is the only one that is bred, as her and my stallion are F4"s and have the blood to help the breed to survive as colored Appaloosas. But I guess that is another topic..................I love my Appaloosas and have for over 45 years now. All started with a little 2 yr old Appaloosa mare, never heard of Appaloosas before, and boy did she do it to me..............................I had her for 35 years and she is all that it took to sell me on them. Had them ever since.........................and will as long as I am still able, and if it is only one.............
I call it spotted fever...................................I had the pleasure to meet many of the great Old timers of their time........and its a shame that so many of these great bloodlines have totally disappeared from the picture. New Appaloosa owners and breeders have no clue what we have lost ........................thats it for today,................a beautiful day , maybe I can get some nice pictures?

I agree with you. A horse has to look like a beefy quarter horse these days for a lot of people to think "quality". It's very disheartening if you dwell on it. I try to be as positive as I can and hope for the best. All we can really change is ourselves and possibly those we encounter along the way. Maybe that will be enough. I hope you got some good pictures!!

I still love Indy! Can't wait to see yearling pictures of him.

They look so cute grazing together!
