TOYS STARR DODGER

PTS POCO BELLE STARR X TOYS TRIPLE CHICK -

DUN FILLY (Chime), very pretty head, and just LOOK a the leg barrings coming out now she is shedding her baby coat!

This filly will mature about 15.1/15.2 and is going to be very well muscled and athletic.

Very feminine with light floating action, very much a lady, straight and correct.

Registered with AQHA, AQHA (UK) eligible for Foundation Registers

There is a possibility that Chime may be homozygous for the dun gene as is her father

Chime is very quiet although definitely the boss of the babies. Her full brother is proving to be a very quiet, reliable, sensible riding horse and I believe Chime will be the same.

SOLD








TOYS RED CHICK

FORNOUGHT MCFLIMSY (Moose) x TOYS TRIPLE CHICK

RED DUN FILLY (Chilli)This one is definitely a red dun, one white sock and a small unique blaze. Her legs are enormously long and she is faster than her mother already.

Going to be a tall girl, but very gentle like her mum. She is very inquisitive and is the first to be the peace maker. Will mature about 15.2ish and be very substantially built and up to weight. Very laid back and nothing upsets her.

Extremely pretty girl and very feminine with strength. Has adopted 'Chisum' and I think eventually she will be a super brood mare.

Registered with APHA and AQHA Appendix II

TOYS TRIPLE CUTTER

MOONSHINE CHILD (PEEWIT) X TOYS TRIPLE CHICK
-
DUN GELDING (Cruise)born 13th April - small white star on forehead. Very handsome foal with LOTS of energy. Doesn't stay still for a second, trying to get underneath mum's tummy, skipping about everywhere. Lovely colour darkening quite a bit now he is shedding out with black mane and tail, with the usual dun markings we are becoming very familiar with Roosters babes.

Full brother to Archer (TOYS TRIPLE CHILD) who is proving to be a very successful two year old and has the potential to be a top reiner.

Will mature about 14.2/14.3 but built very substantially and all solid horse.

Registered with AQHA, AQHA (UK) and eligible for Foundation Register.

Cruise has all his little grey cells working and doesn't miss a trick, very intelligent and although not sharp, takes everything in and learns so quickly it is amazing.

FOR SALE - £3000.00






CHISUM

Red Dun Gelding

Kissit run with Rooster for two days only last year.

This summer she was getting fatter and fatter, but then again had lush grazing and I thought perhaps she may be pregnant, even though I saw no signs of Kissit being in season or Rooster being interested. One year came and went, and it was presumed she was having a phantom.
THIRTEEN months and a few days (399 days) after she run with the stallion she presented me with a beautiful dun colt, perfect in every way.

Chisum is for sale.

He is very high Foundation percentage and will be eligible for all the registers.

Will be registered with AQHA and AQHA (UK)

just loves his older brothers and sisters in preference to his mum!

GOLDEN PARR MISS (the Yank)
Sadly left us on 26th April 2007

Unfortunately, on the morning of Thursday, The Yank (Golden Parr Miss) was euthanased with foaling complications.

She did however, leave a legacy of a strapping dun colt. The fact she always gave birth to such big healthy foals was eventually her undoing.

Now the work was up to us to do right by her.

All my friends set to and a potential foster mare was found just down the road, unfortunately, this attempt was not to be , but Jude found another mare down in Gloucester, but the owner was flying back from the USA so we had to wait till we could contact the owner for the okay. The mare (a maiden) had lost her foal 5 weeks prior to her due date and the veterinary clinic was preparing her for fostering, e.g. leaving the dead foal with her, moving it in and out of the stable to maintain interest, milking her, etc etc.

Pasadena arrived at 10pm Friday night, the foal having been maintained on hourly bottle feeds. He would only accept the bottle from myself, but we fooled him by getting a friend to wear my dirty clothing.

The hard work then started - everybody has been so supportive and going without sleep from Wednesday night through to Sunday night was only possible by the support of genuine friends and locals and the Quarter Horse world. Thanks to you all.

Special Thanks to Beverley who did nearly every session with me despite the fact one of her mares was due to foal (good old Michael came in useful here - still waiting by the way), Jude for contacting the National Foaling Bank and finding Pasadena, leaving work and bringing her straight up and working through the night with us and then turning up on Sunday when Bev and I were like spaced out aliens and staying till Monday morning. Jan for helping move the foal at a moments notice, as my trailer was safely locked up some 15 miles away. Mel from Priory Veterinary Clinic, who went far and beyond the call of duty and maintained personal contact throughout the whole thing, and Paul and Sherry Sharon and Charlie for moral and physical support, making sure I was eating etc.

The biggest thanks of course have to go to Johanna Vardon of the National Foaling Bank without whom the whole thing would have been a complete disaster with a dead mare and foal.

Johanna Vardon was always on the other end of the phone no matter what time of day and night with advice and support, we had several hiccups during the whole procedure, but she got our positivity up and encouraged us to go a step beyond we thought we were capable of. The most wonderful person.

If you had read this please consider donating or joining the National Foaling Bank as this a charity and is purely funded by the public. I am ashamed to say I was not a member, but it made no difference to Johanna, a foals life is a foals life.

Cooper was sold the moment he was born and the new owners will be looking after him very soon, as they live quite close to the home of Pasadena the KWPN mare who saved his life. She is 15 years old, a maiden and has wings in my opinion!!

It WAS all worth it, we have had to boost his immunity with an IV serum, but as of this moment he is as healthy as any other little foal, and his new mum absolutely loves every inch of him .
SOLD

Cooper has now gone off to his new home with his foster mum Pasadena.

Pasadena comes from the Gloucester area and it was pure coincidence that the people who bought Cooper, Wendy and Philly also come from that area, so it made sense for the pair of them to go now to their new home, so Pasadena's mum can keep in touch. Below a picture of Cooper arriving at his new home with a gentle word of encouragement from 'mum' to come out and have a look at their new home!
