If anyone is interested in Black Powder Rum (Winnie), she's looking for a new address and she has a fantastic start on her. Mesa at Ivey Performance Horses has done a wonderful job with her. Winnie will stay in training until sold. Description below from trainer Mesa
Winnie is a very calm quiet horse with a lot of try. She has been trailered to a few places. She has a nice stop on her. Winnie knows her leads, has a nice slow trot, can extend her trot and is an overall nice mare. She is not marish and has never bucked. She has a good foundation for a side pass, spin, and moving her hip. Don’t let her age fool you she has a good calm demeanor that is ready to go in any direction!

If you are interested in trying out Winnie or would like more info, please send us a message.

I haven't posted many updates on our foals lately so here we go. Our oldest baby Winnie (Black Powder Rum) was recently started under saddle. Cricket(PG Bug Off) has been in her forever home for 2 years now and is getting ready to be started as well. Blue(I Bug Everyone) has joined his maternal half sister Cricket in their forever home and is thriving. Mojave(Fancy Like Frenchman) is in her new home out on a ranch here in Northern Nevada. Zira(Especially Effortles)our yearling Bar Frenchman filly is still here. She is available but has not been advertised much as we don't mind if she stays. She has a fantastic mind and will be started under saddle in the spring if she's still here by then. We've acquired a new stallion prospect. He is a buckskin yearling and a son of Big Time Reno, the stallion we lost at the beginning of the year. He has a wonderful disposition and we look forward to getting him under saddle in the spring. He will not stand to the public or be bred until he proves himself under saddle as a ranch horse. We may use him as a heading horse too but that will be determined as he gets older. We also have a 5 month old sorrel c**t(Frenchmens Fiasco) by Bar Frenchman, he is the full sibling to our Bar Frenchman filly. He's absolutely massive and is just the sweetest baby. We only have one foal due in the spring, sired by Peptocremzmal and will be out of Eye Em Gone, the dam to both of our Bar Frenchman babies. That foal is a guaranteed palomino and will be available, if interested we are open to selling in utero. We will also be looking for another broodmare in the spring to replace Eye Em Gone as she will be getting some much needed time off from raising foals.

Update: Whiskey has sold and is getting ready to start her new career in Idaho as a barrel horse. We could not be happier with the person who picked her up and look forward to seeing them excel in the arena.

Whiskey is officially available. We hate to see this incredible mare go but we are excited to see what her future has in store. A link to her video is below.

We will have a few horses available this summer. Especially Effortles(Zira) is available now. 2021 sorrel filly. All of her information is posted in the pics below. We will also have Black Powder Rum(Winnie), a 3 year old black filly available. She can either go before or after she is started later this summer but her price will reflect additional training. Fire N Whiskey(Whiskey) is also going to be available. She is currently in training for a refresher as it has been a few years since she has been ridden consistently due to mostly being used as a broodmare by previous owners. Her price will continue to go up the longer she's there. Please message with any questions or for more pics and videos.

We had a big c**t born this morning out of Eye Em Gone and by Bar Frenchman. He's got long legs and already wants to run. His full sister is a fantastic yearling so we have high expectations for this guy

18 years with you was not enough. Rest in peace sweet boy. We fought so hard to keep you here but there was nothing more that could be done. I love you so much Reno and I'm sorry your last day was filled with pain. Colic and a twisted gut is no way to go.

Our last foal of the year was born yesterday morning. Other than a little more white on her face, she's a carbon copy of her dam, personality and all

These two are so cute

I'm so excited to see how this boy grows and matures. He will be with us until he's weaned and castrated and then will be headed to his new home in Oregon. Congratulations to his new owner Madelyn B. She had dibs on him way before he was even born and its super cool that he was born on her actual birthday.

Our second foal of the year was born this afternoon. It is a very big, buckskin c**t. He already has a big personality and is making his mama crazy running around their pen
