BLUERIDGE FARM


[ MARES ]

[link]
Name: Rooster's Skippalena, "Salsa"
Sex: Mare
Breed / Registries: Quarter Horse; American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA)
Year: 1996
Lines: Starter [Gallo del Cielo x Skip Two Lylena]
Height: 15 hh
Color: Dun with distinctive dun markings (E/e A/a D/d with very minimal sabino that may be expressed more in offspring)
Markings: Crooked stripe, two hind socks. Brand from original breeder.
Conformation: Salsa is an excellent specimen of a reining horse; she is agile and small, but compact and solidly built. She has a balanced neck with a long hip that puts lots of power in every stride.
Personality: Salsa is not the easiest customer to deal with-- she's a mare with tricks up her nonexistant sleeves. She has been known to fake lameness on show mornings, and will test any new rider relentlessly. Through all her deceptive moves, she bonds to her one rider and will try her heart out for him. Under her favored rider, it is impossible to deny that she loves her job, and preforms crowd-pleasing spins and sliding stops with ease. In the herd, she is the undisputed alpha but will only resort to violence when needed.
Training and Disciplines: NRHA reining competition, some cutting training early until her trainer realized her true love was reining.
Offspring: None
Brood Info: Not currently for public brood lease, but may change later.
Restrictions: Fully realistic stallions ONLY, preferably stock horses.

[ STUDS ]

[link]
Name: Harborcoat, "Navy"
Sex: Stallion
Breed and Registries: Morgan ; American Morgan Horse Association (AMHA), Racking Horse Breeder's Association (RHBA)
Year: 2001
Lines: Starter [Lippitt Morgan and gaited Morgan lines]
Height: 15.1 hh
Color: Dark, almost black, bay with slight pangare. (A/a E/E, and tends to throw the sooty gene on offspring)
Markings: Small, vertical snip.
Conformation: Navy shows excellent old-style Morgan type, with solid legs, large quarters, a cresty neck (maybe even too cresty), and chiseled head. He has a broad chest and great lung capacity, making him an excellent workhorse type. His eyes are large and have the famed "look of eagles".
Personality: Navy is a big puppydog of a stallion. He loves being in the presence of other horses and people, and always has his ears pricked and looking intently at the action. He is gentle as a lamb, bordering on clingy. Navy is known for playing with whatever objects are around him, so be careful while setting anything down near him-- you may find he fancies it as his new playtoy. Navy can be slightly difficult as a breeding stallion, as he will become afraid of loud, squealing mares and seek cover by his handler!
Training and Disciplines: Flat-shod racking competition, working cowhorse training, and some trails and pleasure driving. An all around Morgan horse.
Offspring: None
Stud Info: Available to the public, please message!
Restrictions: Fully realistic mares ONLY. Not picky about breeds

Well as of yesterday I am. I went to see Sonic Youth on the 13th-- incredible show! I'll put up some pics later. Well, I can't think of more to say; I really just wrote this to not have a 4 month old journal...

*points to title* Could it have gone any better? Rachel is the most awe inspiring machine of a horse I've seen in a while, not to mention Mine That Bird. Bird doesn't even look like a racehorse with his sweet face and short stature (15.1, smaller than Seabiscuit!)-- He looks like someone's pet trail horse haha.

I only have 2 more days of high school, then I graduate on Thursday, crazy stuff.

It's been a reallyyyy long time... so anyhow, I'll throw some updates out there for those who care.

I GOT THE SCHOLARSHIP! :woot: Oldish news, but this is a full-ride scholarship to my dream college. I'm going to college for practically free now.

I've got some projects in the works and many projects in uploading-limbo... AP art takes up way too much of my fun art time.

I've also got to memorize a Hamlet soliloquy and present in front of the class for an accuracy grade *eek* 31 lines, ugh...

On Wednesday I'm going to see Disturbed in concert (plus some other bands I don't care about)!
