Who remembers Lily 🌸?

She is Zanny’s very first foal (Resi’s full sister)!

It’s so hard to believe how grown up she is now. Watching her and Kayla Meyer together has been such a blessing. They are truly becoming superstars as a team and making their way into the big barrel pen!

A couple weekends ago Lily went to her second ever big girl barrel race and placed 2nd in the 1D 🤩
We could not be more proud of this amazing mare and all she’s accomplishing already.

I truly could not have asked for a better partner for Lily to go through life with, and I’m so thankful Kayla continually keeps me updated on her. It means the world getting to watch her succeed and be so loved.

Zanny and Wh***ey Shiner really did something special with this one 💕

The Great Debate — Culturing Your Mare Before Breeding

Let’s talk about something that always sparks conversation in the breeding world… To culture or not to culture before breeding?

Some swear by it. Others feel it’s unnecessary unless there’s a problem. So what’s the right answer?

Here’s the truth:Every mare is different, but a uterine culture can be one of the most valuable tools we have.

A culture helps identify:
• Hidden infections that can prevent conception
• Bacteria that may cause early embryonic loss
• Issues that aren’t visible on ultrasound alone

The reality is, not all mares will show you there’s a problem… until they don’t settle.

Breeding without a culture can work—especially in young, healthy mares with clean histories. But when you’re investing time, money, and effort into a breeding, having that extra information can save you a lot in the long run.

My personal stance: To me, culturing is a necessity and the way to a successful breeding. If your mare isn’t healthy, then a pregnancy cannot happen—regardless of how healthy the stallion is.

It’s not about doing more just to do more. It’s about being intentional, informed, and setting both mare and stallion up for success.

At the end of the day, good horsemanship is about stacking the odds in your favor.

What are your thoughts? Do you culture every mare, or only when there’s an issue?

📣 As I spend countless hours talking with friends about stallions and searching for the right crosses for the upcoming breeding season, I keep running into the same issue—stallions without proper conformation photos. If there are photos, they’re often front-facing or taken at an angle, which makes it difficult to truly evaluate the horse.

I always try to give the benefit of the doubt and will reach out to owners asking for side-profile conformation shots. Some respond, some send very old photos, and some don’t respond at all. When that happens, I unfortunately have to cross that stallion off my list.

This isn’t coming from a place of criticism or meanness. It genuinely makes me sad to eliminate stallions I’m excited about simply because I can’t determine whether their conformation complements my mares 🐴

Honestly, I don’t care if the photos or videos are taken on a phone. I can look past dirt, winter fluff, and imperfect conditions ❄️📱 What matters is being able to see the horse as he is today.

Please don’t unintentionally sell yourselves short. Having current, clear conformation shots readily available helps breeders make confident decisions—and keeps great stallions from being overlooked 🙌

🫵Are you planning to breed your mare this season?
Here’s your friendly reminder to…
A) Track your mares cycle 🥚
B ) Plan for a culture and ultrasound pre-breeding and what may come with It.
C) Review your stallion of choice’s breeding contract again so there are no surprises 😲
D) ❓ASK QUESTIONS❓ - breeding can be complicated so there Is no such thing as a dumb question. I will gladly answer whatever I can and If I do not have an answer then I know people who are a text away that do. ASK QUESTIONS PLEASE! We want to help you!

💦I like to do my culture and ultrasound on the same cycle as breeding, but some will ask you to have a culture done within 30 days prior to breeding.

☹️I am loathing making this ad for him because he is THAT nice and I selfishly want to keep him for myself; but unless Jesus is going to come down and help me show three - two year olds and two aged horses this year, I can’t justify keeping him (and I’ve really tried to). He is the sweetest and most willing horse and is so easy to handle. He does not have a mean bone in his body. He so badly wants a human best friend and would give 110% for them. His lope is so smooth and jog so balanced (from watching him in the round pen)that he will be a smooth ride. His stop is already very natural and beautiful (from the ground) and he will likely have natural spins as well (both parents do and siblings). All of his full siblings are extremely atheletic and are doing really well in the show pen. Some have even shown successfully in multiple different disciplines that you wouldn’t expect out of his pedigree.
He currently is scheduled to be gelded on March 11th so if you want him intact you will need to make a decision soon.
He stands for the vet (She says he is the cutest and sweetest) and farrier. Loads on and off the trailer, ponies down the road and on the trails quietly, and has been exposed to A LOT of different things (mini bikes, quads, ducks, chickens, emus (you read that right. He’s shared a pasture with an emu), heavy farm equipment and is generally unphased by it all. He will need more time standing tied, not because he’s naughty, simply because I haven’t tied him much. He is a VERY easy keeper and will maintain just off from hay and free choice loose minerals. I had to pull him off grain this winter due to him getting too chunky. Oh, and he LOVES kids and thinks they are the coolest.
Papers in hand and signed transfer. Plenty of references as well.
