Matchmaker page
It's BACK!
We have decided to offer the matchmaker foals again starting with breedings in
2011. The stallion used will be KC's I-Kinn Do It and the mares are both
Morab and Arabian. The Morab mares will produce Morab foals and the
Arabian mares will produce Half Arabian foals.
This is an onsite lease program where you
don't pay for the stud fee for Ike, it's included in the price. The
foal will be registered with the appropriate registry and includes the
cost of transferring the papers. Membership in said registry is up
to the buyer. The cost of caring for the mare, stud fee, and
board of the foal to 6 months old is included in the cost. The foal
is yours once it is born and I would facilitate insurance if you would
like. Feed and worming will be included in cost. I will take
care of the foal with our high standards of care and many years of
experience, but will not refund money for a foal if it dies after
birth. If it is not born live you will have the option of a rebreed
for the next year at no additional costs. Costs
are as follows:
Deposit:$250, paid when you decide you want to breed a certain mare to the
stallion
$500 when the foal is two weeks old.
$250 when foal is 6 months old and before he/she leaves ranch
Total cost to you is $1000 plus any veterinary expenses incurred by
the foal while it is here on the ranch. I do not anticipate any
expenses, but foals do like to get into mischief and if it's not something
I can take care of, the vet will be called and you will be responsible for
reasonable charges, just as if it were at your ranch instead of
ours. If you want to breed
one of our mares to an approved stallion, we will discuss the options with
you. Just ask if you want to inquire about this option. Except in
rare cases, the mares may not be taken off the ranch.
THE STALLION
 |
KC's I-Kinn Do It is a young Morab stallion with great
bloodlines. He stands about 15 hands tall and is quite
substantial in his build. Good bone, correct conformation and
excellent bulk for athletic ability. He is a great Morab
stallion. Click on his photo to go to his page with his
pedigree. He is double registered Morab and Half
Arabian. Genetic color test revealed he is ee/Aa, this means
he can produce black foals when bred to a mare with the same
potential. |
THE MARES
 |
Red Rock Harmony is a chestnut Morab mare. She
is 50/50. She is 15.2 hands tall as a three year old.
She has a very mellow disposition and will be taken off the sales
list if she is under contract as a matchmaker mare. A foal out
of Harmony and Ike will be registered as a Morab. Foal would
be chestnut in color. |
 |
Sylvan Jamala is an Arabian mare who would produce a
Half Arabian by Ike. Foal would have a "2A"
number. Would be chestnut in color and likely to have white
markings. |
|
|
 |
Redroc Jamala is a black bay Arabian mare. She
may be homozygous for black as she has always produced bays when
bred to chestnut. I would just about guarantee this foal would
be bay. It will be a phenomenal athlete and about 15 hands in
size. It will be another Half Arabian foal with a
"2A" number. |
 |
Motherways Rahab is a bay Morgan mare. She
stands about 14.3 hands and foal will be registered as a Morab.
I have not color tested Rahab, she may or may not be homozygous for
black or agouti. If that is important to you, please let me
know. |
 |
Redroc Stormileah is a 14.3 hand grey Arabian
Mare. She is an in your pocket type of mare and produces foals
on the large side. Lots of egyptian breeding. I am sure
she is single agouti, may be homozygous for black and homozygous for
grey. What this means is she will always produce a foal that
turns grey. She has never produced a red foal, it has always
been black based and twice it has been black. She can produce
black out of Ike, but it will then turn grey. If color
is important to you, I can test her. |
 |
*CONTRACT PENDING on Sierra X
Ike
Red Rock Sierra is a grey Morab filly. 50/50 out
of Redroc Stormileah above. She is going to mature at will
over 15 hands. She is not homozygous for grey since her sire
is chestnut. She is black, so when bred to Ike she will have a
good chance of producing black. She also has a 50% chance of
passing on the grey gene. I have not tested her but I do
believe her genetic makeup is Ee/aa/Gg. She is very mellow and
moves nice. This would be an awesome cross for a trail,
endurance, family or ranch horse.

Red Rock Treasure is a bay Morab mare. She has
not been tested for her agouti status. She could be homozygous
for black, and also homozygous for agouti. If color is
important, I can test her for you. I would expect her to
mature at 14.2 hands. Bred to Ike this foal would be very
quick on it's feet and stout. She will be removed from
the sales list if under contract for a matchmaker foal. |
Also available are Crescent Jamala and
Redroc Ryiah, both full sisters to Sylvan above. Both bay in
color. Crescent has produced several foals, Ryiah is a maiden
mare.
We also have an AQHA mare, A Dashing
Daisy who is a smokey black mare.
This sort of sums it all up and something I found on the
internet:
A Great
Poem......JUST A HORSE
From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a
horse," or, "that's a lot of money for "just a horse".
They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent or the costs involved
for "just a horse". Some of my proudest moments have come about
with "just a horse."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a horse",
but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been
brought about by "just a horse", and in those days of
darkness, the gentle touch of "just a horse" gave me
comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you think it's "just a horse", then you will probably understand
phrases like "just a friend", "just a sunrise," or
"just a promise".
"Just a horse" brings into my life the very essence of
friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. "Just a horse" brings
out the compassion and patience that make me a better person. Because
of "just a horse" I will rise early, take long walks and look
longingly to the future.
So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a horse" but an
embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond
memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a horse" brings out what's good in me and diverts my
thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a
horse" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being
"just a woman/man".
