JaF Diamonds of Sequoia
#0168835
foaled May 13, 2005, by Eclpyse Sundance Kid  #143277, and out of Lee’s Mar-Star  #0117742
Pedigree

This was the last foal we bred by Buddy before he was gelded and sold to a truly loving home, where he is in the process of being trained as a California style Vaquero Bridle Horse. In an interesting coincidence, Two-Dee’s full sister, JaF Goldfire Michaela, was recently purchased by my working student, Casey, who not only started Michaela but is now also doing much of Two-Dee’s training. The two sisters are both quite tall and muscular, very athletic, and beautiful movers.    

Two-Dee was given her nickname as a result of the two separate white diamonds that are on her forehead.  She has a happy, outgoing personality and is a big “people horse”. 

JaF Mariposa Mtn Madrone
AMHA  #0175823
(DLacey’s Midnight Sun x Red Range Chamisa)
Foaled May 17, 2007  Chestnut filly

Madrone is out of the big, and incredibly athletic Foundation mare, Red Range Chamisa.  All Carrie’s foals have grown to be over 15 hands, and all are very, very athletic.   Like her siblings, Madrone is broad- chested, has intense bone and feet,  and a great sloping shoulder, long hip and incredible pasterns.

JaF Mariposa Mtn Wind
AMHA # 0175824
DLacey’s Midnight Sun x RiverOak Bay Laurel
Foaled May 4, 2007      Bay filly

Like all Bailey’s foals, Windy has a stunningly beautiful head.  She is truly a show stopper with her already long and full mane and tail, matching hind white socks, clear bay coat, and that incredible head.   She is a very showy mover, too.  Sensitive like her dam, Windy is a quick study and wants very much to please.

JaF SanJoaquin SummerRain
AMHA #175825
(Can Don Joshua Danny x Funquest Mountain Ms)
Foaled July 11, 2007   Palomino gelding

Joaquin is the last foal out of the late, great mare Funquest Mountain Ms.  That cross with Josh is truly magic.  When at play, Joaquin demonstrates his daddy’s wonderful self- carriage already – and combined with his typey head that makes him really fun to watch.

Kizz-A-Me Kate
AMHA # 0134163
(Black River Caballo x Conquest Moonmist)
Foaled 5/29/94  bay mare   14.1 hh

Fondly known as “Kate The Energizer Bunny”, this is pure power and stamina in a relatively tiny package.  Kate first proved herself as a riding mare, then went into the broodmare herd and foaled a  spectacular, tall chestnut colt in 2007. With her huge walk she not only keeps up with the “big” horses, she usually outwalks them.   Kate would certainly make an excellent endurance prospect for a smaller rider, or just a great trail horse. She is very brave and willing to try anything, and will do best with a confident rider who can make the most of her energy.

(CanDon Joshua Danny x Hideaway Starlight Moon)
foaled May 17, 2006

Buckaroo shows wonderful talent and has become a favorite for my working students (and me!) to take out for a fun afternoon's ride.   He is just so easy.

JaF Tehama Mtn Mahogany
#0176958
foaled April 29, 2007
liver chestnut, connected star, strip, and snip.
DLacey's Midnight Sun 143275 / Triple S Nita  0132970

Tehama is out of one of the finest Foundation bred Morgan mares I have ever had the priviledge to work with. Owned by Lynn Brown and leased to JaF Morgans, Triple S Nita consistently makes big, stout, easy to work babies. 
Tehama is a perfect example of all these qualities.  She has a wonderful mind, is very curious and eager to learn, and was a star this past summer in
my pack string.

JaF Sierra Socialite
#0168833
foaled April 18, 2005, by Can Don Joshua Danny  #155980, and out of Hideaway Starlight Moon,  #0137226
Pedigree

A beautiful and showy clear bay, Socialite has her dam’s spectacular self carriage and natural balance, and her sire’s amazingly laid-back personality. As of this writing, Socialite has just a few rides under her belt and she is learning at an exceptionally rapid rate.   Like her half brothers Inde and Patriot, Socialite loves to go to work every day, loves people, and truly likes to get out and go. Already well on her way to being a great riding mount, Socialite shows a lot of potential to be a spectacular and eye-catching driving horse.

Sold to Stan Tory and Lezli Endicott of Prather, CA.

JaF Sequoia Fortune
#168836
foaled May 31, 2005, by CanDon Joshua Danny,  and out of RiverOak Bay Laurel  #0133592
Pedigree

Fortune earned his name as a result of his very fortuitous timing of entry into this world. I was out of town when his dam, Bailey, went into labor just after noon.  As it happens, Brent was cleaning corrals at that particular time, which is unusual in itself as he is usually done with that chore by mid-morning – plus, as we all know most mares prefer to foal in the dark.    

Well, Brent noticed Bailey was in distress and unable to push the colt out beyond his nose and one foreleg. Brent pulled on an OB glove, pushed the foal back into the birth canal and fished out the second leg which had been locked at Bailey’s pelvic bone.  Once both of the colt’s shoulders were free, Bailey was able to quickly complete the birth process and the foal was saved. 

Fortune will be joining my summer pack string within the month.  He has been ridden more than Pooh has but not yet packed – and I consider packing training a big part of my colts’ desensitization. 

Red Range Chamisa
AMHA # 0111522
1988 Chestnut, 15.1 hh

Breed her or ride her, this mare is
broke, broke, broke! She is a superb dressage horse and performs up to 4th-level maneuvers with ease and grace.  She jumps.  She is a terrific pack horse and mountain trail riding horse.  She does everything. Amazingly athletic, she passes on her wonderful movement and ability to her foals.

Riveroak Bay Laurel
AMHA # 00133592
(Telesis x Broadacres Rene)
Foaled 6/6/94    bay/brown mare 15 hh

Bailey is a beautiful, well trained mare who has been used as a broodmare for the last 4 years. Before being placed in the broodmare herd, Bailey was used as a mountain horse in the Sierra, and also on cattle – both gathering, and in the sorting pen. Bailey is sensitive and energetic, and goes well for a rider who is confident, light handed, and considerate. She is a mountain goat on trails, but could use more time in an arena setting.

All her training has been done following the precepts of Buck Brannaman, Ray Hunt, and Bryan Neubert.

As a broodmare, Bailey’s foals have been even more beautiful than she is, with gorgeous heads, great breadth in the chest, long shoulders and hips.

JaF Sierra Sunrise
#0169065
foaled July 5, 2005, by Caduceus Moses  #126871,  and out of Funquest Mountain Ms  #090061
Pedigree

I bought Sierra’s dam, Funquest Mountain Ms, when she was in foal to Caduceus Moses and I feel blessed to have both Ms and Sierra in my life. The two of them are so happy and quiet and fun to be around.    Sierra has absolutely the most beautiful head and soft, soulful eyes – you can’t miss her out in the pasture even when she is surrounded by other horses. Sierra’s sire is gaited, and so is her dam. So far Sierra shows every indication of being gaited as well, and as her training progresses we’ll explore this further. However I don’t want to go on record as stating that she is, since I am not knowledgeable in that area yet. Stay posted for updates, though!
