Paulie Ebony
1986  Brown/Black Mare
By Ebony Light out of Hobar Paulie

"Ebony" carries all of Dad's foundation stallions, Leo Lightning, Horatio and Dixie Jr. She also shows Dad's first horse, Candy, on her bottom side and Little Sug, his first registered Quarter Horse. When Kristy and I look at Ebony's pedigree, we see a long history of our family breeding quarter horses. Our friends the Baakes sent her back to us to retire at Horse Creek. So far she is still eager to be a broodmare and foaled on April 1, 2008 a brown filly, named Coco who is by Dukes Golden Legacy. Ebony is wonderful with the boys and other children eager to meet her foal. She has a special place here at the ranch!

Bea Will Skip
1996 Sorrel Mare
by Skip Will Win out of Wham Bea

"Bea", is a 1996 15 hand sorrel daughter out of Skip Will Win and Wham Bea, a 1990 bay mare out of Whammy Ball and Bea Light. She is a registered as a sorrel but has a significant amount of white hairs in her coat. Bea has had one foal by Whammy Ball in 2002 named I Bea Double Whammy. Since she is out of both of our senior stallions we really don't have many options for breeding her right now. Bea is a mare that is out of two horses on her Dam's side that I used to ride when I was growing up, Ebony Light out of Leo Lightning, a 1968 black stallion and a 1959 sorrel mare, Lotta Blaze out of King Damon by King. We are selling Bea as a broodmare. She was started under saddle as a 6 year old but has only had about a half dozen rides. She is a very well bred mare as you will see from her pedigree with such names as Three Bars, King, Leo, Black Hawk, Skipper W, Skippers King, Skippa String, and Blondys Dude. She would cross well with a stallion that has a lot of cow. $1850
