Breeding

our Foundation Stallions

SIERRA'S DAZZLEM DANDY Homozygous for Tobiano - Mr. Gunsmoke, Leo, Poco and King lines

With our Cremello mare FRECKLES CREMELEO

We only came to breed horses once we had found we could be sure...
We had always loved the awesome foundation bloodlines of the Quarter Horse and Paint Horse which we had studied for many years... physically superior working lines with conformation for longevity and a can-do attitude. These we coupled with guaranteed color.
In our study of the genetics of coat color in the early 2000's, we found that the crème gene which produced Palomino and Buckskin was detectable by a DNA test from UC Davis. Also available was a DNA test for the Dun gene and the Tobiano coat pattern. We could now be sure that the Paint Horses we bred would always produce 'painted' foals, and we could add Dun points for decoration, and produce "gold" with 100% accuracy by incorporating Cremello and Perlino horses into our program.

- Along this earthly JOURNEY there have been many twists, perilous drop-offs and cliffhanging moments. Most times we honor God. Sometimes we fail.
He loves us anyway ... can you imagine?

You Love Me Anyway - Sidewalk Prophets

The question was raised, As my conscience fell
A silly, little lie
It didn't mean much, But it lingers still
In the corners of my mind

Still you call me to walk, On the edge of this world
To spread my dreams and fly
But the future's so far, My heart is so frail
I think I'd rather stay inside

(Chorus)
But You love me anyway
It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
Yes, You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me!
How You love me ...

It took more than my strength, To simply be still
To seek but never find, All the reasons
we change, The reasons I doubt
And why do loved ones have to die?

I am the thorn in Your crown
But You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow
But You love me anyway
I am the nail in Your wrist
But You love me anyway
I am Judas' kiss
But You love me anyway

See now, I am the man that called out from the crowd
For Your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking ground
Yes then, I turned away with this smile on my face
With this sin in my heart tried to bury Your grace
And then alone in the night, I still called out for You
So ashamed of my life, of my life, of my life

But You love me anyway
It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
Yes, You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me!
How You love me ...!
