All six foals have arrived and everyone is healthy and happy!!
We ended up with four fillies and two colts
Island Breeze (ApHC) X KJ Black Ice (ApHC)
DOB: 3/17
Our Poweriffic daughter, Breeze foaled a beautiful and leggy smokey black filly on St. Patricks day morning. She has absolutely no white on her, but does sport white sclera, right now that's the only appaloosa characteristic. But that Lp gene is in there somewhere, she will develop some sort of color as she grows. This girl should reach about 15.1 hands with a good build. Her dam and sire are both such good minded riding mounts, this filly will no doubt be the exact same. Appaloosa bloodlines include: Ha Dar Shado, Nugget Jim, Prince David, and Bright Eyes Brother.
This filly is SOLD to Kansas.
Albe Me (ApHC) X Zan Baron Capital (AQHA)
DOB: 4/8
Our Legend Bright daughter, Albe really surprised us with a chromed-out full blanketed bay filly by our AQHA stallion, Zan Baron Capital. She even has a partial blue eye on the opposite side that her mother does! I guess it goes to show, a what seemed solid mare can and will surprise you! "Quail" as we've named this little filly should mature at about 14.2 hands with a good build. Sire is a seasoned high numbered heeler and her dam has been used as a trail horse in Utah before we owned her. She already shows the awesome disposition that her sire seems to give all his foals. Quail has Bright Eyes Brother right up there close in her pedigree, (If you couldn't tell by looking at her) along with Hayes Roman Cloud, and Wapiti for her appaloosa bloodlines. AQHA influences are, Zan Parr Bar, Baron Bell, Skipper W, and Two Eyed Jack.
Sire: KJ Black Ice (ApHC
Dam: Skip N Shimmer (ApHC)
D.O.B. 5/8
Our grulla Sometimes The Bug daughter surprised us while we were out of town seeing a Garth Brooks concert on May 8th. Lets just say it was a rush home from KC on sunday to see this handsome boy! His name was easy enough, Garth! We thought the filly before was "Chromed-out" but this guy blows that out of proportion. Although we were surprised by the dun color from this cross, the "chrome" should've been figured with all the BEB breeding up close. This colt is already gentle and friendly, not once was he scared of people, just like his grulla full sister from last year that was such a delight to be around. This guy should mature at about 15 hands with a good muscled build. Bloodlines include, Mighty Bright, Mr Exclusive, and Mighty Tim through Bright Eyes Brother, Plus Prince Plaudit and Lady Bugs Moon and Skipper W for some of the AQHA influence.

Smooth Double Jacks (AQHA) X KJ Black Ice (ApHC)
D.O.B. 5/16
While we usually have gotten to witness Lady's births that wasn't the case this year. We woke up bright and early to this beautiful, HUGE filly! Although she doesn't have any color - yet, it will come in its own time. The only Appaloosa characteristic that we can see is white sclera around her eyes. Time will tell... This filly will mature at about 15 hands and she's already on her way! Appaloosa bloodlines include: Bright Eyes Brother though Mighty Tim and Mighty Bright, and Prince Plaudit. AQHA lines include: Doc Bar, Two Eyed Jack, Skipper W, and Zan Parr Bar.
This filly now belongs to Ashley Heim!

Dial A Cocoa Blue (ApHC) X KJ Black Ice (ApHC)
D.O.B. 5/16
Cocoa surprised us big time this year with her foals' arrival. I had gone out to great Smooth Double Jacks' new filly into the world and looked over at Cocoa in time to watch her water break and then the whole birthing process. Which was a very first for me to see the entire event. When we got to "unwrap" the colt we were blown away not only by his leopard pattern but all his chrome and blue eyes! His barn name while he's with us we've decided will be "Pacman" as he sports the character on his right hind! Pacman will mature at about 14.3 hands with a nice build complementing his 80% FPD. Appaloosa bloodlines include: Big Duke Six, Bright Eyes Brother, Does A Rollin, Dial Bright Too, High Hand, and Prince Plaudit. AQHA bloodlines are: Skipper W, Pacific Bailey, and Zan Parr Bar.
Pacman is SOLD to Texas!
Regal Mesa Parr Bar (ApHC) X KJ Black Ice (ApHC)
DOB: 5/24
For a first time mom "Mesa" really amazed us. She foaled this beautiful - huge filly that looks to us like she will more than likely be completely different looking by this time next year! We're very proud of this cross, specially because of the fact that Mesa is sired by our AQHA stallion, Zan Baron Capital. A home bred mare if you will, bred to our other standing stallion with this pretty filly as a result! This filly will mature at about 15 hands or a little shorter with a nice muscular build. She sports a few hip spots with all white feet and chestnuts which tells us she will begin to roan sooner or later! The end result is unknown! Appaloosa bloodlines include: Abdulls Pok A Son, Bold Print, Bright Eyes Brother, The Executive, and Prince Plaudit. While her AQHA lines include: Baron Bell, Two Eyed Jack, Skipper W, and Zan Parr Bar.
"Milly" sadly, is no longer with us.
