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

WELCOME

Our goal is to promote the offspring from our stallions, Maxdee Blue #609,095 and Rocket Two Freedom #1,065,545. In 1989, we purchased King Stormy McCue #7121121 as a 3 year old. For 17 seasons, Stormy was our only stallion and sired over 200 APHA foals. In late 2005, we purchased "Max." He 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 were extremely pleased with his colorful 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 horses are versatile enough for Ranch and cattle events, 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.
