Two Stolen AQHA Mares

Stolen Summer/Fall 1999

From Broken Back Ranch

Ten Sleep, WY

1982 AQHA Bay Mare

(coat can look like she is a Brown in the winter)

*Star, slight Strip, Snip, all disconnected.

*Left Hind Sock

*Branded on Left Thigh

This mare trots and runs with a slight limp. 

Old injury to her front hoof, lots of horny growth visible on the

outside of her heel. 

High withered mare and black leg coloring high up all four legs. 

Very friendly mare and easy to catch. 

She should have also foaled again in spring 2000,

sometime in April or May. 

Most likely producing a bay, brown or sorrel foal.

These 3 pictures were taken just after I first bougth her home

from her original owner's place.

She gained weight steadily after I owned her and looked really

good for an older mare with old injuries.  She adapted well to her range

pastures & wintering out, keeping more weight on her than you see

here in these pictures.

April 1999

AQHA 1999 Blue Roan Filly

*Might look black, bay or brown

during seasonal changes!

**Very slim chance that she would have

turned gray...

but the theives and their buddies have been

trying to buy gray and roan fillies from me

for 7 years now since 1999,

all bearing the same brand as this

stolen filly does!

* Small Star,

* White Right Hind Coronet,

* 4 Black Hooves, 

* Branded on Left Thigh.

* Super friendly disposition, imprint trained.

* Should be a very athletic mare.

* Foundation cow horse & running bloodlines.

Filly was branded the end of June 1999 with a hot iron,

our "N open 6" brand. 

The picture above was taken within minutes after she was branded. 

This is why the brand looks black in the picture. 

As a mature mare her brand

might show up very easily with black hairs

like the red roan's brand you see on

the sides of this website or possibly just as a

typical hot iron brand with some

black hairs outlining the scar/brand.

She had a coal black head at birth and at branding time,

along with the white star on her forehead. 

No other white hairs were visible on her head at branding time. 

This usually indicates that a foal will be a roan. 

Her whole body was splashed with white haris,

except for her coal black face/head.  

However she may have turned gray,

but it was not a strong possibility,

considering the coal black hairs

(shown in the picture above)

underneath her brown baby fuzz hair.

Late April or Early May 1999 - before she was branded

Late April or Early May 1999 - before she was branded

Notice the right hind white coronet band!

April 1999 - Two days old

Both mares will have an "N Open 6" hot iron

brand on their left thigh as pictured above and

also the one you see pictured on both sides of

my web site pages.  The pictures you see

of the brand are taken from a picture of a red

roan colt. This means that the blue roan filly's

brand will be easily seen with black

(possibly red or bay during seasonal changes)

hairs & should therefore be highly visible on

her blue roan coat at certain times of the year.
