Located on the west side of beautiful Antler Hill, 2.5 miles north of Innisfail, Alberta (half way between Edmonton & Calgary) on Hwy 2A. I have been showing & training horses since 1967. In 1978, I began breeding Quarter Horses, specializing in the old line of Skipper W blood. I had a lot of success with this line, producing AQHA Champions, World Show Qualifiers, and Superior Halter and event horses. Many times, I stood Grand Champion in the morning, going on to win the all round Jr. or Sr horse at the end of the show. I still believe in a VERSATILE Quarter Horse, and in the new millennium, added Skipper W blooded paints to the pastures, with the purchase of Irresistable Finale. My goal is to continue to produce TOP QUALITY Paint and Quarter Horses, with sound minds, legs, and feet, to ensure these individuals go on to provide years of service for my customers.
Most recently, in 2006, with the winds of change, we decided to scale back on the paint operation, since with the success of Ringo Stringo Star ( son of Sierra String, and who also is a full brother to the dam of our other standing stallion, Shazannies Classic), most recently achieving Level II in Dressage, and our young Palomino Stallion, JR Nick Shoemaker, (also a son of Sierra String) having great success in his budding career in Dressage...we decided this was an area we wanted to focus on, particularly since Dressage in the AQHA is just now at the baby stage. We would like to be as successful in breeding Dressage Quarter Horse prospects, as we have achieved success in other areas, proving once more, the great versatility of the Skipper W / Impressive / Two Eyed Jack bloodlines....My thanks to dressage superwoman, Lynn Salvatori Palm, for encouraging us to pursue this avenue, with our bloodlines, that seem very adept for this discipline. She is the biggest promoter of Quarter horses in dressage, having been so successful herself.
Enjoy your visit through the site, and I look forward to your visit in person, so we may share a good cup of coffee!!
