Hauenstein's Raven Song

Raven, sired by PMF Total Eclipse, is as black as black gets!  The pic just doesn't do her color justice.  What really makes her priceless is that she is also an ivory carrier.  She is currently bred to Boo for a 2011 spring foal.  It will either be black or ivory and should be awesome!

Merry-Go-Round's Porscha

Porscha is a lovely dark jennet sired by Mr. Perlino.  This is an uncommon ivory line in Texas.  We are thrilled to be adding her as well as her dark NLP jennet foal, FL Poker Alice, to our little herd.  Thanks to Frontier Legends for making it possible for us to bring Porscha into our ivory program.  Porscha is bred to Casper for a May foal!

Country Trail Acres Patches

Patches is a very nice 32.5" jennet sired by Double N Texas Awsome.  She has great conformation as well as a drafty build.  Patches foaled a fantastic little gray jack in August 2008, and an equally nice spotted jennet in 2010, both sired by Casper.  She will be bred again in the fall of 2010....still not decided who we will breed her to.

A9A Que Sera

Sera is a very nice 33 1/2" two year old jennet.  She is the daughter of Corinda one of our two original jennets.  Sera is very closely related to Arrow Creek Harry Houdini, who has sired several very wooly donkeys, two of which were record high sellers at the Great American Donkey Sale.  She is very correct and nicely proportioned.  We are hoping she will pass on her father's dark genetics when paired with one of our black jacks.  Sera is currently exposed to Low Down's Crossfire for a 2011 foal.

Laughlin's Four K-Tee

Kate is a 33 1/2 inch very dark brown jennet with excellent conformation.  She has browns and blacks in her pedigree and is currently being bred to our black jack, Crossfire. 

For Pete's Sake Babbs

Babbs is a beautiful Ivory jennet that we were lucky to add to our herd.  She has the sweetest personality and we hope that she passes it on to her foals. 

For Pete's Sake Ginger

Ginger is a very nice ivory carrier who came to us with her half-sister, Babbs.  Her mother is an untraced Pieratt's ivory jennet, but her father traces back to Danby and Belleau stock.  He is nice and small and we are hoping that Ginger will pass on these small genetics on to ivory foals. 

LN Misty Gray

Misty is a nice light gray roan jennet that may be an ivory carrier.  Her father, ITF Blackstrap, has sired ivory so we are hoping he has passed the gene on to Misty.  She produced a nice roan spotted jennet foal in 2010 and will likely be bred to Boo in the fall.

Hauenstein's Nike

Nike is a really nice ivory carrier with an unusual thin blaze, a swoosh as her breeder Russ Hauenstein put it (hence the name).  She is gray with masked spotting factor and it looks like she will remain quite small.  Nike will likely begin her breeding career in 2010.  We can't wait to see what this little jewel will produce...spots?...ivory?...we will have to be patient and wait to see!

DK Carmella

Carmella is a very nice ivory carrier sired by Sheloy's C.J. and out of an ivory jennet.  We are very pleased with this addition to our ivory carrier herd.  Carmella foaled a tiny dark gray or brown NLP jennet sired by Boo.  She will likely be bred back this fall to Boo again, they made a superb combination!

 

Furball Acres Tinkerbell

Tinkerbelle is a wonderful ivory carrier that came to us from Furball Acres in South Carolina.  She is a Lil Longears Casper daughter and built just the way we like them, nice proportions and round butt!  We can't wait to see what she produces in the future!

A9A Queen Isabella

Izzy is our first Casper daughter and she is lovely in every way.  We are looking forward to her first pairing in 2010 to Boo.

Frontier Legends Poker Alice

Alice is named for Alice Ivers (aka Poker Alice), a frontier woman who was famous in the Black Hills for her poker skills.  This little girl tricked everyone into thinking she was a boy when she was born, hence the name.  Alice is sired by Short Assets Starfire, a champion in the show ring.  We may try her in the showring ourselves before adding her to our breeding program.  Alice's grandfather is Mr. Perlino, so we are hoping she carriers the ivory gene herself.

A9A Darcy

Darcy is a cute little 32 1/2 inch jennet with lots of red highlights.  She has great conformation that she passes on to her foals. 

Silver Hammer Bonnie Bee

Bonnie, who was actually bred by the Krenek's at CLK Ranch is one of the best jennets I have ever seen.  She is square and straight and built like a tank.  The bonus is that she is an ivory carrier!  Bonnie produced a really nice ivory jennet in 2009 sired by Casper, which we have retained for our herd.  She will be bred back in the fall of 2010.

Furball Acres Sassafrass

Sassy is a nice sweet jennet sired by Lil Longears Casper, a 33 inch Ivory jack.  Sassy was first bred in 2008 and foaled a stillborn Ivory jack foal.  We decided to give her some time off and bred her back to Boo in the spring of 2010.  Here's hoping for a better outcome this time around!

Arrow Creek Dynasty

Dynasty, sired by Arrow Creek Hudini, is an awesome black jennet that is also quite wooly.  She has slicked off quite a bit in this photo, but still retains the long hair on her belly.  Dynasty will be bred to Boo in the fall of 2010 for a black ivory carrier foal.

Furball Acres Muffin

Muffin, sired by Boo, is a rich chocolate brown ivory carrier.  She has excellent conformation and a wonderful personality.  She will likely be bred to Casper in 2011.
