Ginger BK WAR DOCS DIAMOND
2023 Sorrel Mare
Video is the first time I worked with Ginger in the round pen, after about 15 min.
Meet Ginger — a two-year-old sorrel mare with the kind of personality you love on the farm and the look you want in the arena. She’s laid back, willing, light on the ground, and easy to catch — no fuss, no drama. Raised here on our farm near Steinbach, Manitoba, she’s been handled, haltered and settled into daily life with ease. Her build is solid: good bone, correct feet, a clean shoulder, and she carries herself with that “ready to step into something” presence. If you’re after a young mare with foundation, temperament and potential all in one package, Ginger is one you’ll want to put on your radar.
About the Sire: LB Smokin Jack
Ginger is by our ranch’s own stud, LB Smokin Jack, son of the impressive Ill Smoke Ya (AQHA #3385446) — a Canadian-bred Champion Stallion who earned AQHA Champion status and Canadian National titles in halter and rope-horse competition. Ill Smoke Ya’s offspring are known for their versatility, structure and presence — the kind of traits that hold up in roping, performance and ranch work. With LB Smokin Jack as her sire, Ginger inherits that performance-rich sire line, athletic frame and trainable mind. It’s a pedigree that says “built for purpose”.
About the Dam: BK Haida Diamond
Ginger’s dam is our home-raised mare, BK Haida Diamond — a gray mare whose temperament is as reliable as her production. She’s the easiest mare in the herd to chatch and she handled foaling with ease. Her sire is Haidalenas War Doc — a Texas-foaled 1996 stallion who sired over 230 foals and whose progeny have competed at the CFR and NFR in team roping and barrel racing.
That combination of performance bloodlines and real-world broodmare reliability gives Ginger the best of both worlds: a mare that’s built to perform and easy to live with.
