DnA Equine Located in rural Northern Alberta, we run a small breeding barn specializing in reining bloodlines thoughtfully created with intention and purpose.

It is our mission to breed high quality foals with trainable minds, natural ability, and versatility.

Our first stud chosen for the 2027 season is Dun It Till I Shined ✨
And we have him paired up with our herd matriarch, DiamondsOnTheHorizon, (Fran).

What makes this cross SO exciting for me?

Fran is one of my heart horses, the first horse I trained on my own, and she is the definition of trainable. She passes on her trainable mind to her foals, the type where you can turn them out for a month and they'll come back the same as the last day you worked with them. She is also gorgeous, talented, non-pro friendly, and throws just the right amount of splash on all her babies.

And then there's the stallion, Dun It Till I Shined. The Hollywood Dun It bloodline is one of my absolute favorites, being trainable, non-pro friendly, and obviously gorgeous, and this stallion is a direct son. I was lucky enough to own one of his offspring, the 3 year old buckskin mare that we sold this summer, Indy. As more and more of his offspring are starting their riding careers we're seeing the same thing: trainable minds and beautiful builds.

I have high hopes for this cross. Pairing a truly special mare with an equally special stallion has the potential for a remarkable foal.

Possible color combinations are:
- buckskin
- buckskin splash
- palomino
- palomino splash
- smoky black
- smoky black splash
Any of these colors will be amazing, but I would be ecstatic for a buckskin splash 🤞🏻 knowing Fran, she will do her best to make it to order

We have our first mare booked for 2027, and to say I'm excited about this one is an understatement.
This is a cross I've been wanting to create for years, and now that I'm going to try dealing with frozen, we are going to give it a try!

Can you guess the stallion and mare?

Hint: this cross has a high probability of a buckskin splash foal 👀

Looking forward to our 2027 Gunna Stop X Shesa Concealed Gun foal!
I'd almost bet money that Molly gives me something with 0 chrome, but it'll be fancy regardless 😍

It's that time of year where we all see the "blanket or not blanket" discussions come up.

Some people feel that horses are built to live outside year round and do not require blankets. Other people feel "If I'm cold, they're cold" and keep a blanket on all winter. I land somewhere in the middle.

Blanket the horse, not the weather.

Some of my horses will be out in -30°C with wind and snow blowing and they are totally fine. Others need help if the snow is too wet or the wind is too strong or the temperature drops too much. Grace is a perfect example. We had rain yesterday and light snow today, and although the temperature is hanging around that +1° C mark, she was shivering. She does not have the same excess body fat as the other horses, her coat seems to take longer to fluff up, and she is bottom of the pecking order so if anyone is getting kicked out of the shelter, it's her. Wet rain and snow that gets down to the skin cools her off quick, and while all of the other horses were fluffy and content, she was shivering.

Would I normally blanket as temperatures above freezing? No. Would she have been "fine" if I left her naked? Yes. But do I want to make sure my horses are thriving and not just surviving? 100%.

I want my horses to have as natural of a life experience as I can give them, but I also want to listen to the science and provide my horses with what they need to thrive.

Briar is loaded up and starting his long journey to Quebec. It's always hard to watch them leave, but I think he's found a great home ❤️
Best of luck to his new owners, Roxanne Fortin and Ced Fafard, we are so excited to see what the future holds!
