BROKEN BACK RANCH QUARTER HORSES

back to home page of Broken Back Ranch Quarter Horses

Welcome to my

Reference Broodmares Page

This page has pics and info of older mares that have produced many of my current

broodmares, stallions, geldings and foals sold in the past.

These mares are all deceased or sold to the best of my knowledge.

 

Comet's Little Lady

1988 Chestnut

Grade Quarter Horse Brood Mare

Foaled:  Spring 1988

Height: 14.2 Hands

Approx. Weight: 1,100 lbs.

Comet is a solid brood mare, producing smaller, cowy, athletic colts that are people friendly.  She has produced 13 foals as of spring 2007.  Colors include Bays, Buckskins, Palominos, Sorrels, Red Roans and Grays.

She is a favorite brood mare and her sire and dam's bloodline say a lot when it comes to producing quality ranch horses.

She may not look like much now, but in her time she was a fancy, well balanced little mare, considerably smaller than both her sire and dam, so there is height potential in her background.  She was the last foal produced by Red Dun Lady.   Comet's colts generally have more height, depending on which stallion I breed her to, but cow sense is almost always a likely attribute of all her colts!

*The horses in the following pedigrees that are typed in capitol letters are AQHA or APHA registered stock. 

The lower case typed horse names are grade quarter horses and/or quarter horse/thoroughbred crossed horses,

steming from my father, grandfather and great grandfather's horses.

 

Snowflake II

Grade Palomino Quarter Horse Brood Mare

Foaled:  Spring 1983

Height: 14.3 Hands

Weight: Approximately 1,200 lbs.

Snowflake II has produced 16 foals as of spring 2006!  She is the dam to Buckskin Bo pictured on the stallion/home page. 

We currently ride two of her geldings on our ranch. 

Their disposition is priceless, their cow sense a guarantee and they aren't bad looking horses either! 

She has produced palominos, buckskins, bays, grays, red roans and sorrels.  

Foxy Lady

Blood Bay

Grade Quarter Horse, 1/4th TB Brood Mare

Foaled:  Spring 1988

Height:  15.2 Hands

Weight:  1,350 Approx.

Foxy Lady has produced 14 foals as of spring 2007. 

She commonly produces grays, sorrels, bays and red roans. 

Her colts are built to run. 

She is the lead mare of the herd and earned that position easily with her speed and watchful eye.

There won't be many more foals out of this cross, so barrel racers hurry before she's gone. 

All of her foals have been easy on the eye, long legged colts with narrow barrels,

high withers, short backs, long necks, keen heads and speed, speed, speed! 

They aren't always cow horses, but I am currently riding one of her older sons

and he can get the job done in a hurry and still has more stamina to go all day long if needed.

We have always crossed her on Spooky Rip and most of her colts have been taller than 15 hands

and the one I ride stands 15.3 hands.

Southern Dell Fox - AQHA Appendix # X0459880

Blood Bay Brood Mare

Foaled:  May 24, 1990

Height:  15.2 Hands

Weight:  Approx. 1,300

** Open for 2009.

Southern Dell Fox has produced 10 foals as of spring 2006. 

She produces beautiful fillies and keen looking horse colts. 

Her colts take after their sire generally and are smaller built, generally averaging around 14.3 hands tall,

however once in a while she throws one as tall as herself.  She is a full sister to Ten Sleep Foxy Bar. 

My only regrets are that I didn't keep more of her full sisters. 

This bloodline passes on good looks and cow sense, along with tons of common sense. 

If anyone knows what happened to her full sister & foals below:

"Val Leah Bar King" - 1997 Sorrel AQHA Appendix Mare (sister to Southern Dell Fox)

&

"King Bar Passion" - 1995 Gray AQHA Appendix Gelding

&

"What A Classy Dell" - 2002 AQHA Appendix Mare

Please let me know. 

I'll try to post their colt pictures later below this message.

King Bar Passion was owned in 1996 by some folks that lived near Roberts, Montana and they lost his registration papers in a fire and re-application was never done before he sold again.  He was then sold to someone in Montana sometime after 1997 without his papers.  I'd love to help give him his ID back, so if you own him or know the person that does, please contact me.

Val Leah Bar King temporarily resided in Manderson, WY as a long yearling and was later sold through her 3rd owner to an unknown buyer without her papers being sent on with the filly to the new owner sometime around 1999 or 2000 or possibly 2001.

What A Classy Dell - Her papers have never been transfered into the new owner's name, even though I filled out a transfer

at the sale and turned them in at the sale barn's office.  

I sold her in the spring of 2003 at the Vern Black Horse Sale in Riverton, WY as a yearling. 

Her papers are yellow or AQHA Appendix papers and her picture is on the papers!

Folks, please pass their papers on to the new owners!!! 

It does you no good to keep their papers and sell the horse without their ID!

It only hurts the horse and they loose their identity!!

Is your foolish pride or dirty dealing really worth it?

Red Fox

Grade Sorrel Quarter Horse Brood Mare

Foaled:  May 14th, 1989

Height:  15.2 Hands

Weight:  Approx. 1,250 lbs.

Red Fox is another favorite brood mare of mine with a dandy bloodline.  Grade or not,

she's better bred than most quarter horses these days and isn't bad to look at either.

Quality conformation, athletic ability and good disposition along with plenty of cow sense are just some of the attributes that she passes on to her foals.  Speed and long distance running are in

her bloodline!  Anyone remember Big Red owned by my father Boyd Mills? 

He entered him in the long distance race from Hyattville to Ten Sleep many years ago. 

Big Red was the only local horse fit enough to finish the race in a decent time. 

I believe he came in 4th, beat only by 3 well conditioned Arabians!!  

We ride one of her full brothers and he's the type that I wish would stay young forever!

She has produced 9 foals as of spring 2009. 

**She is in foal to Spooky Rip for a 2009 baby.

**2009 was her last foal.  I lost her spring 2010.

 

Snowflake's Fancy

Grade Quarter Horse, 1/4th TB Brood Mare

aka - "Fancy"

Foaled:  May 4th, 1989

Height:  15.1 Hands

Weight:  Approx. 1,100 lbs.

 

    

Fancy has been a dependable brood mare and has produced 10 horse colts as of spring 2005.

She is no longer with us as of 2009, but leaves a legacy of good using horses behind her.

Yahoo!  She finally produced a filly for 2007.  I will not sell this rare filly though, sorry! 

Fancy crossed well on Spooky Rip and produced several red roans, grays and a few sorrels. 

We ride her 1st son, named Leo, on the ranch and couldn't imagine not having him around. 

He's very dependable and has turned into an excellent little cow horse.  He stands just 14.3 and

isn't a long distance running horse, but he gets the job done and shows his cow sense consistently.

Fancy is in foal for a 2008 colt, sired by Spooky Rip - Fancy's last foal!

 

 

Frosty Flame

Grade Red Roan Quarter Horse, 1/4th TB Brood Mare

Foaled:  Spring 1990

Height:  16 Hands +

Weight:  1,400 lbs.

Ya, well, so Frosty Flame isn't much to look at, but she sure produces gentle, pretty colts

and they don't stay in my corral very long, so obviously her foals are better looking than she is!

So far crossed on Spooky Rip she has produced grays, red roans and sorrels. 

She has produced 12 foals as of spring 2007. 

More hancock breeding in this mare's bloodline and her granddame and

great granddame were favorite Mills family brood mares.

Most of her colts are big boned, plenty of muscle, gentle dispositions & very cowy.

She is bred back to Spooky Rip for a 2008 foal.

Frosty Flame is no longer producing for us - 2009.

 

Duskie - Brown

Grade Quarter Horse, 1/4th TB Brood Mare

Foaled:  April 26th, 1994

Height:  15.3 to 16 Hands

Weight:  Approx. 1,300 lbs.

 

Duskie has produced 7 foals as of Spring 2007,

two bay roans, one bay and two gray fillies and one brown colt. 

Her dam's bloodline stems from a long line of Mills family brood mares. 

They all had plenty of speed, cow sense and longevity. 

Her dam, "Bay Roan Mare", is still alive at age 27. 

Duskie is a sound, fast traveling mare with a long stride and plenty of wind to go all day. 

We currently ride her oldest full brother on the ranch and when he was young

we weren't sure if he'd ever run out of faster gears! 

Barrel racers, Pole Benders and Ropers, take a long hard look at her yearly foals. 

She's got all the right stuff to produce great performance prospects and we've down sized the height of her

foals a bit by crossing her on Spooky Rip and added more cow with shorter bursts of speed & pretty heads.

Duskie is no longer producing for us - 2009

Queenie

Grade Quarter Horse, 1/4th TB Brood Mare

Color:  Brown

Foaled:  April 1993

Height:  15.2 Hands

Weight:  Approx. 1,300 lbs.

Queenie is one good looking GRADE mare!  Isn't she? 

She has produced 6 foals as of spring 2009.

Two bay roans, 2 grays and one sorrel, all sired by Spooky Rip.

She is a granddaughter to our own Peppy Rojo, making her a great granddaughter to Peppy!

You can't ride papers, so why not ride a good looking Queenie colt!!

Queenie will be producing fine ranch prospects for many years to come!

**She is in foal for 2009 to Buckskin Bo.

**She was bred to Spooky Rip for a 2011 foal.

JESTER LITO

 

   

JESTER LITO

APHA # 266,932

Color/Type:  Sorrel/Overo

Foaled:  April 12, 1994

Height:  14.1 - 14.2 Hands

Weight:  1,100 lbs.

Current Owner: Lynette Mills

 

Jester has produced 4 foals for me, crossed on Ten Sleep Foxy Bar. 

She produced several paint foals under the care of Stan & Dawn Allred of Ten Sleep. 

**She is bred to Spooky Rip for a 2009 foal.

She has produced 2 sorrel/overo fillies, one solid sorrel gelding

with white stockings and one bay roan overo gelding named

Classy Jack Frost, pictured and For Sale on my 2004/2005 COLTS page.

Jester's colts have all been tall colts with pretty heads and balanced conformations. 

They would make excellent barrel racers and maybe reining prospects or you could

probably put them in a few english events!  Very amiable colts with good minds & bone!  

I wouldn't hesitate to use them as big rope prospects either. 

Plenty of speed and cow in this mare's extended bloodlines.

Jester Lito is bred to Ten Sleep Foxy Bar for a 2011 foal.

SUGAR ALMONDBAR

AQHA # 4856444

Gray Mare

Foaled:  June 8th, 2006

Sire:  Spooky Rip

Dam:  Luckys Bar Lady

(Dam Owner:  Dawn Allred of Ten Sleep)

Allie is one classy little gray mare!  Thank you Dawn Allred for letting me keep her. 

I plan on passing on that good Spooky Rip color & disposition with her foals.

Better pics to come as she ages.

Bred to Ten Sleep Foxy Bar for her first foal in 2011, but did not catch.

** IMPORTANT UPDATES: 

Sold Sugar Almondbar only because I like another gray 2 yr old filly better than her,

in disposition only.  Their conformation is a toss up!  Both are perfect.

  Sold - October 2011- at BLS
