Rexs Breeze
2003 APHA dun tobiano gelding
Sire: A Breeze of Class
Dam:  Sonnys Dubie (Sonny Dee Bar, Poco Bueno, Cutter Bill)

rexsbreezeoct09.jpg

rexsbreezertoct09.jpg

Heavy boned, very stout gelding.  Stands around 15 hands.  Been used on trails, as well as used to check cattle several times when the mud was too deep for a 4 wheeler last spring.  Quiet and gentle, but recommend intermediate rider simply because he hasn't been ridden a lot.

"Bandit"
2001 black tobiano gelding

banditcrop.jpg

banditride.jpg

Big stout gelding.  He stands a good 15.1 or better and is a very easy keeper.  We sold him about two years ago to a family just getting into owning horses.  They have been riding Bandit out on trails, and though their woods, but he's really the type of horse that needs to be ridden more than once every few weeks.  You will love this geldings friendly personality and he is stunning to look at.  However, I would not recommend him to a novice horse person because he is a strong, powerful horse  that has not been ridden much for the past 2 years....and will need some consistant riding before he's ready to be a kid's horse again.
Email me for the owners phone number and you can talk to them directly.

Sheza Smart Commander
2006 APHA bay mare
 

raincrop.jpg

This mare is a quiet and gentle riding horse.  She responds well in the arena...nice walk, trot, collected canter.  Picks up leads both directions.  She will make a great 4-H project since she is easy to get along with and rarely spooks - even when deer and turkey appear unexpectedly on the trail.  She rides great in a group as she gets along with about any other horse, but she also has been taken out by herself many times.  No fuss or fight when leaving her buddies in the barn or pasture.  She's just a nice, quiet riding horse with a lot of potential.  Since she's only a 3 year old, there's no doubt she will only get better and better as she matures. She definitely has the potential to be a kids horse.  NOT a kids horse right now, since she is NOT a dead head.  She is agreeable and responsive to your requests, but would need age and miles to be considered safe for a small child to ride by themselves out on the trail.
She stands a stout 14.3 and is short coupled enough to carry a heavy rider.
Her bloodlines include many AQHA and APHA greats, including (on her papers) Smart Little Lena, Poco Bueno, Fleet Commander, Liquid Assets.......
August, 2009.  Currently being ridden a couple times a week in the arena and on trails.
100% sound and nice to be around.
 
 $1500.
 
**UPDATE** 'Rain' has been on many trail rides over this summer (2009) and has proven to be a very safe, reliable trail horse.  Most recently taken on a several hour trail ride by a novice rider and the rider was very impressed with her calm, quiet attitude the entire ride.  But definitely not a dead head.  She gives and responds well to leg pressure.  Great 'whoa' and backs up readily.  Rain has more common sense than most horse 10 years her senior.  She will follow, lead, or travel alone.  Exposed to traffic, dogs, wild turkey, deer, etc.  No problems.  Crosses water and goes through mud.  Also works great in the arena.   Neck reining training is just starting.

"Sonny"
2006 APHA bay tovero gelding.
Sweet gelding that has had 60 - 90 days of riding, mostly in the arena, but he has also been out on trails.  He stands 14.3 and is very stout.  He's big enough to carry most riders.  Friendly, easy to catch, nice to be around. 
Son of Ris Key Business, out of a double bred Sonny Dee Bar mare.
He is registered....just don't have all his info in front of me right now- his owners will furnish his papers.  He was born, raised and trained here until around Easter, 2009.   Sold him locally, but new owners have since decided that they don't really need a horse.....

Diaman H Old BlueEyes  APHA
2002 red dun overo gelding
$1250
 
 
package -  $2750
 
Pine has been broke to ride since he was a 2 year old and was well broke at one time.  He's had a lot of arena work and a lot of trail riding done.  Pine was on a number of trail rides last summer, and is currently being ridden in our indoor arena.  He's a nice boy.  100% sound. No bad habits or vices.  Big bodied, heavy boned and ready to do a good day's work. Stands around 15.2
 
January, 2009 - Old BlueEyes (Frankie) has just been broke to ride.  We had the trainers put on 30 days ride and will continue training as soon as some of their time frees up.   Just too many outside horses in for training right now.....  Frankie is VERY quiet and gentle.  Don't let the low price fool you - he's a wonderful horse - we are just looking to get a small percentage of our training and feed costs back for the time he's been here.   Beautiful gelding, but has had a blow to his face so its not quite as pretty as it once was.  100% sound.  Needs intermediate rider - but only due to his short time under saddle.  He's safe enough for about any rider, including a child.  But they probably won't get him to go the direction THEY want to go.  With Frankie's outstanding laid back personality, I'd guess they'd be safe enough on a trail ride following the other horses.  Stands over 15 hands.   This gelding will find you in the pasture, and stand to be groomed all day, if you'd let him.  He just really likes people.....
 
 

Diaman H Zippa Zandra  (839640)
2005 red dun (overo) filly
Dam: Zippa Skip Zena
Sire: A Breeze of Class
 

dhzzandra06.jpg

zandraheadshot.jpg

zandranov.jpg

 This keen headed, big bodied girl is the prettiest color of red dun and will mature near her dam's height of 15/15.1 hands.  She's a smooth and easy loper in the pasture - great athletic ability.  She does carry the overo gene, and a couple of her spots could well qualify her for regular papers in the future.  As a broodmare she carries a double advantage of being able to throw TWO kinds of 'color'.  She'll produce overo foals AND dun/red dun/grulla babies.  Can't go wrong there. She's straight, stout and very correct. We already have one of her full sisters in the broodmare band, or she'd be higher priced.  Just take a look at DH Zippa Zondra (APHA broodmares page) if you want to see how nicely this little girl should mature.  She's turned into one of our best broodmares.  No doubt this girl could do the same for your herd.
 
I would be willing to include a 1/2 priced breeding to Ris Key Business for when she turns 3 or older.  You might want to note that we just sold a filly for $5000 that was the produce of the above mentioned FULL SISTER crossed with Ris Key.....  This little girl would sure pay for herself rather quickly that way, wouldn't she??
 
30 days ride, just finished November 8, turned back out to pasture for the winter.  Mini-clips of last ride available through email.  Natural, low head set and easy going gaits.
Excellent WP prospect. 
**UPDATE   another 30 days ride started June, 2008

Diaman H Goldfingers
2001 AQHA palomino mare
Dam: Foggs Rascal
Sire: Roses Flashy Joe

mvc-040s.jpg

goldfingers06.jpg

This mare is coming along quickly.  We put 2 weeks of groundwork on her in October (2002).  Goldfingers took both saddle and bridle in stride, and shows a willingness to work for you.  November, 2002, we put 30 days ride on her (trails).   Massive hip and chest.  Heavy, straight bones.  Stands around 15 hands. Beautiful, beautiful head and ear.  Small, old scar on coronet band but no other dings.  100% sound, no bad habits. . 
I really love this mare, as I loved her dam and sire.  I wouldn't even consider selling her, but I think, in fairness to her, she deserves a home that has fewer horses to care for.  If you want this mare, you have to have her teeth floated at least once a year or she will get thin.  $68 worth of vet work for a fat horse isn't a bad tradeoff......  
February, 2009.  Put another 30 days on her.  Quiet and gentle to ride.  Great for trails, but she's been a broodmare long enough that she'll take a lot of work to ever be a showhorse.

Diaman H Jessies Risk (839829)
2005 bay tobiano filly
Dam: Jessie Jill (AQHA)
Sire: Ris Key Business
 

jillsfilly505.jpg

dhjessiesrisk706.jpg

jessiejune08.jpg

Jessie is our last (2005) spotted filly from Ris Key left to sell.   This filly looks to mature in the 14.3  hand range.  She really has great conformation and a captivating look about her.   With her bold personality, she should make an excellent show horse.  She took the saddle really well this past fall (as all the yearlings did......not really a 'bucker' in the bunch).  She's becoming very quiet and friendly. 
 
 30 days arena riding (October), then spent the month of November going down the road and on the trails. Tackled a 20 mile trail ride with all new horses on her first trip off the farm.  NO PROBLEMS. Put out to pasture for the winter in December.
**UPDATE** another 30 days on this filly started June, 2008.  Very talented, cooperative young mare.  Someone could really make something out of this one!!
 
($3500 - terms to show home)

Diaman H LeoSans Risk (840430)
2005 sorrel bs filly
Dam: Peg Shannon
Sire: Ris Key Business
 

pegfilly705.jpg

leosanjune.jpg

This is a sweet daughter of Ris Key.  Her multi colored mane and tail (don't know what color to call it) makes her stand out in the crowd.  She's very quiet and friendly, easy to be around - even in the middle of the pasture.  Her dam is a 15.1 granddaughter of Brujo out of a gdtr of Leo San.  It will be interesting watching this one grow up.  I know she has great conformation and personality, but other than that, it's a 'wait and see' on her.  Definitely will make a great all around and/or 4-H project......might make a rope horse.  With her personality adn her pedigree, there's little doubt she'll be an excellent broodmare prospect in addition to her duties under saddle
**UPDATE**  June, 2008 started her first 30 days.  Wow. What a quiet, gentle sweetheart she is!!

keeping this one as a stud prospect - for now

tj.jpg

This young stallion is one of our best hopes to replace 'Old Joe'.  He has a similar quiet disposition and truely outstanding conformation with about the heaviest bone you'll ever find.....a tribute to his foundation breeding - top and bottom side of his pedigree.  He has a medium golden color when he first sheds in the spring, and stands a good 15/15.1 as a two year old.  (December, 2007......measured at15.2, no shoes, and 1300 pounds - in pasture condition) This guy has a gorgeous head and ear with super straight legs, short heavy cannon bones, large joints, and huge hip/chest.  30 day ride last fall (2006) and another 60 days late 2007.  Back in the pasture beginning of 2008.

Diaman H A Dun Risk
2003 dun breeding stock filly 
Dam: Ms Fancy Freckles (gdtr Colonel Freckles/Bills Rock)
Sire: A Breeze of Class
 

dhadunrisk.jpg

This is one beautiful dun  filly.  She is so sweet and so friendly.  Her dam is a massive gdtr of Colonel Freckles, and it looks as though this filly will mature with the same type of body.  Take a peek at Ms Fancy Freckles on the APHA broodmares page to get an idea of how this filly will look in a couple of years. This little girl has been ridden about 45 days now.  Most of it in the arena, as well as several rides down the road last summer.  (2005)   She is very, very quiet. She has incredible potential as a rope horse, team penner, etc.  She can easily be registered in the buckskin/dun registries, where she could take you to the 'head of the class'.  Ready to continue with training, or will be moved into the broodmare band in the spring.
  **Update March,2008.  Rode right off without a fuss!  She is one quiet, lazy riding horse.  If you ride her, you'd better hope you aren't in any hurry to get to where you are going, because she sure isn't.   Very agreeable under saddle, but she sure won't put out any more energy than you demand from her.  We'll ride her a few more times....but my husband has decided she's riding so quietly for our trainer that she might actually be suitable as his next trail horse.....(He's a walk/trot kind of guy)
($2500 - expect more price increases w/additional training)
 
Bred to TJ (AQHA Palomino) for 2010

Gorgeous grulla tobiano colt that has just been tested HOMOZYGOUS for the tobiano gene.  His sire is A Breeze of Class, our grulla tobiano son of Ris Key Business (mulitple world champion/multiple world champion sire), and his dam is an own daughter of Little Pepaleo (son of Peppy San Badger out of daughter of War Leo.  Little Pepaleo is a money earner ($16,000 +),  a Texas Classic Senior Breeders finalist, and a semi-finalist in the NCHA Open Super Stakes.).  This little guy has an incredible head and ear with that stunning grulla color.  Definite stud prospect with an outstanding combination of color, conformation, pedigree and personality. 
 
4/5/07 30 days ride just finished......and WOW.  He's about the easiest horse to start we've ever had.  Extremely smart, willing and quiet.  Putting him out to pasture now, and we'll get him into cutting training in the fall.  Super, super nice.....
 
6/24/07  Cutting training started, and seems to be an outstanding prospect. 
10/1/07.  EXTREMELY athletic, now shows both the desire and ability to 'hook up' with a cow. 
 
 
($7,500) includes 9 months cutting training (through February, 2008)
