Ms Beatle Luck

Ms had a good start on a reining career until an accident damaged her legs. She became a broodmare and lesson horse, where I began riding her when she was 5 years old. I worked on the farm where she was owned and her foals were always my favourites. I had the pleasure of showing her 1984 colt Nathan Dial at our Area 1 QH Futurity when I was very young.

She produced many AQHA foals and her first Paint was a cropout, shown above. I had the opportunity to purchase her when she was 23 years old, and we had one foal (a solid) from her. This colt was undefeated in his age group at halter as a yearling and finished as Reserve Champion Breeding Stock Gelding for Ontario in 2000. We are saddened to say that Ms was euthanized on February 20, 2002. She will be dearly missed.

Sonnys Maleeta

I purchased Maleeta as a yearling from her breeders. She is a big, stout, powerful mare with a pretty head and a great neck. She has a massive front end and her legs are almost perfect. This striking mare was a multiple Grand Champion at halter. Shown only once at an AQHA event, she earned one Open Halter point. I showed her in Pre-Preliminary and Basic 1 Dressage at our local shows in 1996-97, winning classes with scores into the 60`s.

She has produced 4 foals by AQHA stallions. Her 1996 bay stud colt WON the Sired Stakes Weanling Colt class over 35 other horses. She presented us with a beautiful tobiano filly by Bearsimpresivestar in 1999. See her newest baby, our New Year`s Surprise

Bears Jazz Tune

Punkin was bred, born and raised by us. We are glad we kept her to become my show horse and to carry on the great bloodlines in our breeding program. She is a halter futurity winner and PAC Certificate of Recognition earner to date. Her grandsire is our current stallion Bearley Light and she represents him well. Her dam was our grand old mare Skipper`s Tune Up. Punkin carries the blood of APHA Champions, Supreme Champions, Superior Halter and Western Pleasure horses. We feel very fortunate to include this outstanding mare in our program. We will continue her show career on line and under saddle.

Punkin is now an APHA Open and Amateur Halter point earner, Reserve Champion Mare, and Showmanship class winner and point earner!!

Bearley Light

We purchased Buddy from Sherry and Rick Baerwinkel in December of 1999, shortly after losing our first stallion Bearsimpresivestar. Coincidentally, Buddy is Bear`s sire! It seemed like destiny. Baerwinkels had used this gentle stallion for trail riding and sorting cattle for 10 years. He was well known for producing quiet, sensible babies and was often crossed with hunter ponies. He is solidly built with lots of bone and body. His sire is a Superior Halter and APHA Champion. His dam is a Pleasure point earner. We are thrilled with his outstanding foals out of our special broodmares.

Buddy has been paid into the APHA Breeders` Trust and MWHS Futurama. The breeding fee for Bearley Light is $400 Canadian. We do not ship semen at this time. While he is a tobiano phenotypically, Buddy does carry the OLWS gene inherited from his overo parent line.
