" Distance tests a horse's strength, time reveals a man's character " - Chinese proverb

WELCOME

Our goal is to promote the quality offspring of our stallions, Maxdee Blue #609,095 and Rocket Two Freedom #1,065,545. In late 2005 we purchased "Max" as a replacement for King Stormy McCue #7121121. "Stormy" became sterile after 17 breeding seasons and siring 200 plus APHA foals. "Max" is an own son of the legendary Blue Max and out of a Mardelle Dixon daughter. In 2019, we added Rocket Two Freedom aka "Jethro" to our stallion lineup. He has tested EE for the black gene and OLWS negative and carries the sabino gene. We look forward to seeing his first foals in 2020. We strive for conformationally correct horses with adequate hoof and bone, willing dispositions, color and eye appeal. All of our stallions are broke to ride. It is important that our mares have good dispositions and are easy to handle.

Our goal is to raise horses suitable for working cattle, trail riding, 4-H events and horses that your whole family can enjoy.

You can research pedigrees at www.allbreedpedigree.com or e mail Bolding@alliancecom.net for copies of registration papers.
