Some action shots I took this morning, I opened the gate to the adjoining pasture and they had a blast running. Some of the shots are blurry but still cute so I put them in. Sassy is the one in most of the shots because she runs all the time...she loves to run! You would think she's in training for the Olympics! Their legs are wet from the morning dew. I was too busy watching Sassy and neglected to take any of Doc and Gracie was still in the barn eating breakfast with her mom. I'll get shots of them next time.
 
    
Jolie really getting into the game, jumping ditches and running circles around me.

 

Sassy running like the wind!!!

 
Finally she stopped and grabbed a leaf...Isn't she the sweetest?

Belle had this little guy between mine and Frank's shifts. She timed it just right to be before my 4:00 A.M. trip to the barn. I had to run back to the house to let Frank know that the baby had arrived...I didn't even take the time to see what the gender was. Our barn cam has bitten the dust so we are taking turns checking on the jennets in the maternity barn.
He is a fine little jack....very sweet and friendly, and he's gorgeous.
He will be for sale later on when he is weaned.

SOLD!!!

      Grand Sire:  758's Cupcake Blueberry, 29" Gray-Dun
      Grand Dam: Adanal's Painted Lady, 33.25" Brown/Gray & White Spotted

Just what we were hoping for!!! A little girl that looks just like Cajun.....you don't need to ask her "Who's your Daddy"!
We named her Jolie Blond....pronounced Jolee Blon....it's an old cajun song.
A prisoner in Port Arthur wrote a song based on the legend "Jolie Blonde" in the 1920s. It tells the story of a pretty blonde woman who left her Cajun lover for someone else. Over the years, the song has developed into the Cajun anthem.
I love this baby girl too!!!

We were kind of expecting a jack since Beauty has only had one since she's been with us but he is a fine one. We were thinking of keeping him for a show gelding but we just don't have the time to devote to training him. He will make some one a fine pet and would be a great buddy for Smokey.

He is for sale!!

This was Gabby's first foal and she did such a good job having him and she is a great mom. He is such a sweet baby, when you are least expecting it he is reaching for your pants or shorts.....anything to get your attention. He was really happy Beauty had a boy so he would have someone to play with. He will make someone a wonderful pet. He won't be very big when he matures.

He is for sale!

      Grand Dam: Fisher's Grey Glace, 32" Gray-dun

This baby girl is a doll baby...she is in your face and wants to stay with you but her Mom has other ideas. She is going to be a tank...she is heavy boned and looks to be nice and straight. She is full of personality too.
We think she is definitely show quality.

Her two full brothers have both won numerous blue ribbons.
And they have both done very well in performance classes. We are hoping she will do the same.
Her full brother S&S Strike It Rich, owned by Stockmarket Donkeys, is the 2008 ADMS Champion Jack!!! Congratulations to SiSu Morris, Barbara Hilliard, and Karen Harris for the good job she has done training and showing Striker!

 

She is for sale!

Then around six she finally laid down and got to work. He was born at 6:30 with some help from Frank. He is a dark sorrel with a very tiny star. Well, he has at least a dozen white hairs!! He was twenty inches tall with his booties on. He was scooting right under his mommas stomach right after he was born.

Mesa is a beautiful girl with lots of personality. She has the most gorgeous head, with beautiful eyes and big white eye rings. She's short bodied and has really good heavy bone. She is very friendly and in your face.
She has a lot of red showing up on her head and ears....that's probably coming out of
MGF Fiftyfire. Maybe I should have named her Red Mesa!

She is a half sister to S&S Shazam, now owned by Kathy Loudamy of K&K Ranch.

Gator is really looking good...he has a really nice chest and straight legs. His color pattern is really nice too. I don't think he will be very big, his parents are both small and he has a lot of small donkeys in his pedigree.

His sire, Cajun, was Reserve Champion Jack at The Texas State Championship Show in Conroe Texas this past weekend. He also placed 1st in his Color class. He is an awesome trail donkey, he placed 1st at Corsicana the first of June and 2nd at The Texas  State Championship Show in Conroe.

Wow were we happy to see this boy!...he is very straight and stocky, and he is very friendly and sweet. He is a full brother to S&S Strike It Rich, aka Striker, owned by SiSu Morris and Barbara Hilliard of Stock Market Donkeys, that has done very well in the  show ring. The only white we can find on him is in his ears.
These are the only photos we've been able to get of him. My camera doesn't take good photos in the shade as you can tell. The only one that shows his true color is the one of Frank holding him out in the sun. As soon as he put him down Fannie hustled him back in the shade, as she should. When it cools off I'll get more.

Precious slipped in the barn and had this little boy...we were showing our grand children our new foals that we had, looked in the barn and there was Precious with her new baby!!!  She was a week over due but was showing absolutely no signs of foaling. We like to be there for all the births but sometimes these jennets will sure fool you! 

Gunner is a very nice baby...straight legs and a gorgeous head!

WOW!!! Nolane surprised us with a foal this morning!!  She usually has dark brown babies with no light points. This little girl has liver colored eye rings, nose and feet , and so far we don't see a stripe! It looks like she has some roaning in her nose and the bottom of her legs and her head are red hair mixed with black, but her body is black with no cross or stripe! Not for sale at this time!

I love this little girl...she is another in your face baby. We are having a hard time getting any pictures of her too...all she wants is to get in our laps. What a little sweetheart!!! She is short bodied and compact like her sire. Her half-sister, Shazam , placed third in her first two shows. Her sire has done very well in the show ring also. He is a super trail donkey and we're hoping he will pass this to Queenie.

Queenie is for sale!!  Sold!

This boy has an almost perfect spotting pattern on both sides.

He is very stocky with the best set of back legs you will find.

We have decided to keep Ringo for our show gelding....he was our last foal by our red jack, Sundance and we were pleased with the way he had turned out. We took him to his very first show , SDMS spring show, this past weekend and he did very well. We had to show him in the jack class because we hadn't gelded him yet and was very happy that he took third place in a class of nine very good jacks!!

Ringo has placed first in his halter at his last two shows and has never placed below third in his halter classes.

Update!! Ringo won his class and then went on to win Grand Champion Gelding at the SDMS Summer Spectacular Show in Corsicana, 2007!!!
He also placed second in Pre-green In Hand Trail!!!

Ringo was Reserve Champion Gelding at The Great Celebration in Shelbyville, Tn. 2007

We knew Fannie and Czar would give us a good one!!
Wow is what we say when we look at him. His conformation is wonderful! I haven't been able to get many pictures yet because Fannie wouldn't bring him out of the barn! This is her first and she is very protective of him. Just give him a few weeks and he will be running circles around mom and aggravating his sisters.
 

This is one nice boy, he is straight as can be and has a wonderful disposition. Striker has already been working out in the exercise area, getting ready for the show ring!! 

 

                         
 

Update!!!!  Striker places sixth in NMDA Pre Green In Hand Trail at the Dallas State Fair, with eighteen in his class. He's only six months old and this was his very first show!! He was shown by Karen Harris.

News Flash!!!! Striker places 1st in foals at halter, at the Texas A&M Horseman's Association Donkey Show, November, 2005. Way to go Striker!!! We are very proud of you!! Shown by Bobbie Ferraro.

Striker places first in the yearling jack class at the SDMS spring show, 2006 and he also placed second in pre-green in hand trail!!! There was 22 in his trail class and I think there were 8 in his halter class. He was shown by Karen Harris. Good job, Karen and Striker!!

Update!! Striker places first in the yearling jack class at SDMS show in Belton, Texas....June, 2006
Good job, Karen and Striker!!!

Dam:  LN Red Nolane, Dark Cherry Red (Sorrel)
      Grand Sire:  LN Red Sonfire, Dark Red (Sorrel)
      Grand Dam: LN Nolauna, Dark Brown/Red

We have a dynamite cross with this pair! We retained Digger's full sister Noel in our herd, and are very tempted to keep this one. Digger is even nicer than Noel and that's saying a lot.  Nice straight legs with good distance between them, good bite, round butt. She is a great little foal...with her pedigree and color background, you can't go wrong with her. You can breed her to either black or sorrel . Her dam, Nolane was the highest selling Jennet at the NASS sale.

Czar and Abby have produced a great foal!!  Shazam is very straight and has a wide chest just like her mom.  You can see how straight her legs are in the picture.  We have been waiting a long time for a foal out of Abby and we aren't surprised at all at how good her conformation is.                                               

Update!!!  Shazam placed third in NMDA Foals at Halter, Dallas State Fair, 2005, in a class of fourteen. She was shown by Tami McCleney of Mini Moons Ago Ranch.

Update!!! Shazam placed third in her foal class at the Houston Livestock Show, 2006!!!! She was shown by her owner Kathy Loudamy of K&K Ranch. Congratulations Kathy and Shazam!!! We are so proud of you both!...especially since you only had a couple of weeks to get her ready for the show! Way to go!!
