A little while back I was able to pick up a few mares from a herd dispersal. One of the mares came with a foal at side (future post). I bought them on a whim, sight unseen and didn’t pick them up till they came off range a few months later. I was going a little bonkers at the end thinking I may have gotten myself into a bad deal, but from asking around the owner was known to be an honest person. I was tickled to find that they were in amazing shape, despite their age and for being range mares, pretty decent to handle! They came with the names Tookie and Honey. They are bred back to AQHA stallion, Poppin Te, for 2027 foals.
It’s pretty dang cool to own a mare (Tookie) bred by Bub Nunn! Honey came from Gene and Jan Hetletved’s program in North Dakota. I’ve bought a few horses out of their program that I’m pretty excited to get started this coming year. The annual trip is coming up, but this year I’m just tagging along for a visit!
These mares both were bought from Bill Harris out of Winnett, MT. Bill has been awesome to work with and a wealth of knowledge on these lines!
Pics to come once I get some quality ones!
