Our Babies

One of the most exciting things we are experiencing is the birth of our foals! So far we have two on the ground. We have a filly who we call "Queenie" - she is a chesnut solid and is a very muscular filly with a perfect babydoll head, and we now have newcomer, "Bubba," our black and white overo colt. He is HUGE (thus the name Bubba) and has minimal white markings that are going to look quite amazing as he matures... white up both back legs into the groin, big bellyspots underneath, and semi-bald face with two high white socks up front.

When we purchased the dams of both foals we did so with the goal of trying to see what type of foal Clayboy will throw when crossed with big bodied running bred mares, and he now we sit back and look at them, and know we did the right thing. These mares are truley amazing. Queenie's dam, Big Mama, is getting very close to my heart. She is an own daughter of Rocket Wrangler with lots of Hall of Famers in her pedigree. She is quite special and I cant fault her for anything; she is the perfect mare. Then there is "Della," our ChickleBook/Jet Deck mare who is the dam of "Bubba." I am so grateful to Big Foot Ranch for letting us purchase Della b/c this mare is one big jet black tank~! Her colt is the largest we have had and fancy!!

I updated Queenies pictures on our website but need to get my butt outside and get some good shots of Bubba. We have Bubba in the roundpen next to the house and I can see him and watch him from my kitchen window when doing dishes. Its been cloudy and drizzling, thus my reason for lack of updated photos. Yesterday, I watched Bubba checking out all the lil birdies in his pen... he chased them all afternoon, and I knew this is going to be a colt that needs a job, that wants to be stimulated. Like so many of Clayboy's babies, he is very gregarious as well, always wanting to sniff you, check you out and be close to you.... we havent decided if we are going to list him but want to wait a couple weeks to see how he fills out first. I think he is a nice stallion prospect...
