Foals at Mikarma Farm Missouri Foxtrotters

Dealer's Bittersweet Surrender

MFTHBA Reg. #05-84921

Born April 17, 2005

Deep orange-sorrel filly with lighter mane and tail,

large star and rear sock

Sweetie is by a bay stud, Panhandler's Wheeler Dealer, and out of our sorrel minimal sabino mare, Wood's Sweet Vicki. Wheeler Dealer is a son of Panhandler H (Lad's Stormy Don x Sambo's Beauty) out of a daughter of The Boogie Man, and Vicki is by Wood's Victor Ace (Rawhide's Black Ace E. x Linda's Misty), a grandson of both Red Rawhide and Walker's Merry Lad. She's out of Wood's Sweet Impression (Go Boy's Impressive Red x Chief's Stepping Tiger). These Wood's-bred mares have become sought after as broodmares, and after seeing this filly we can see why!

Sweetie has tremendous presence with a proud carriage and a beautiful head like her mother's. She loves to run and and is very quick and agile. She has a ground-covering flat walk and foxtrot as well. She loves people and is always in the middle of everything. If you walk out into the pasture with a halter she will pester you to put it on her instead of someone else.

Sweetie leads, ties and stands beautifully for the farrier. She hasn't been started under saddle yet but that may happen this fall. We are considering keeping Sweetie as a broodmare and riding horse, but we will consider offers for her.

CM's Travelin' Texas Outlaw

Registration Pending

Born June 3, 2006

Black minimal sabino gelding with a stripe and heavy sabino roaning.

Outlaw is sired by our stallion Color Master out of our mare Travelin' Tootsie. He has outstanding conformation, very well put together, square and well muscled. He has a beautiful head with a teacup muzzle and a striking and unusual color that is rarely seen in the foxtrotter breed. He is a very minimal sabino. His sire is homozygous for the Sb1 sabino gene and his dam is heterozygous for Sb1, so Outlaw has to have at least one copy of Sb1 himself. His sire is homozygous for black and his dam is a sorrel, so he has to be black. There are a lot of black sabinos in the foxtrotter breed, but not many that look like this colt. His only white marking is a stripe on his face. He has so much sabino roaning that he is a blue roan or steel grey color-- and there is no grey or true roan anywhere in his background. It is strictly coming from the sabino gene.

His bloodlines include Tom's Travel Master, Giles' Hot Toddy, Master Tom, The Boogie Man, Missouri's Outlaw, Missouri Traveler, Missouri Senator, Royal Rawhide, and Gold Man, among others. He's a full brother to Rhythm Master and Color Me Tootsie.

He has a friendly and loving personality. He is playful, quick and agile (you should see him with his Jolly Ball!). He has a beautiful foxtrot and had a running walk as a baby so he may be able to do that gait under saddle. He leads, ties, bathes and stands for the farrier. We haven't starte him under saddle but are continuing his ground work. With his conformation, personality, color and gait, he is quite a package!

CM's Texas Wildflower

Registration Pending

Born 10/05/2006

Flashy black sabino filly with a wide blaze and rear stockings.

Wildflower is sired by Color Master out of our flaxen sorrel mare Blossom. Blossom has heavy Zane Grey and Golden Governor breeding with a little Toddy's Perfection and Boogie Man thrown in for good measure. Wildflower is the first offspring from this cross, and we will definitely be repeating this breeding! This filly has beautiful conformation with the solid hidquarters I like to see, and she can really move, too. She gaits, she turns, she backs and spins-- she just loves to do it all.

She has a calm and friendly personality and loves petting, kids, cats and even the farrier. Wildflower is incredibly easy to catch and ot work with. She comes running when she sees the halter. She leads, ties, stands solidly for the farrier and is pretty bombproof in her attitude.

Her bloodlines include Tom's Travel Master, Giles' Hot Toddy, Master Tom, The Boogie Man, Missouri's Outlaw, Missouri Traveler, Perfection's Masterpiece, Toddy's Perfection, Zane Grey, and Lad's Super Star, among others. To see her full pedigree, click here.

For Sale for $2000.

Pride's Sweet Texas Sunshine

Registration Pending

Born January 7, 2007

Flaxen sorrel with oblong star with attached narrow stripe.

Sunshine is sired by Pride's Yankee Cavalier (see below) out of our mare Wood's Sweet Vicki. Her bloodlines on her sire's side include Danney Joe W., Warrior's Gentleman Gem, Ben's Black Ace and a lot of Zane Grey and Yankee breeding. Her dam is by Wood's Victor Ace (Rawhide's Black Ace E. x Linda's Misty), a grandson of both Red Rawhide and Walker's Merry Lad. She's out of Wood's Sweet Impression (Go Boy's Impressive Red x Chief's Stepping Tiger).

Sunshine was born premature and spent some time at Texas A & M veterinary hospital but she has recovered beautifully and is completely healthy but somewhat on the small side for her age. All that early handling means that she is a very friendly and confident filly.

Sunshine leads, ties and stands for the farrier. She isn't afraid of much and has a lot of natural curiousity. She has a lovely foxtrot. She will make a great trail horse for a smaller rider.

For sale for $1100.

A Little Texas Color (Lily)

Registration Pending

Born November 5, 2007

Smoky black sabino filly with rear stockings, extensive sabino roaning, and no other markings.

Lily is sired by our stallion Color Master out of our palomino mare Stepnstone's Cream Puff. Color Master's bloodlines include Tom's Travel Master, Giles' Hot Toddy, Master Tom, The Boogie Man, Missouri's Outlaw, and Missouri Traveler. Cream Puff is by the well-known cremello stud Cotton Eyed Joe (Golden Emperor x Golden Mae) out of Stepping Dixie (Boomerang's Allen x Doc's Dark Lady).

Lily has been DNA tested for color and is a smoky black minimal sabino, which means that she is a black horse that also carries the cream gene. If she is bred she will be able to produce palominos and smoky blacks and she can produce buckskins if bred to a stud that carries the agouti gene. Lily will not stay the gorgeous light color that she is now. She will darken to nearly black as she matures, but she has heavy sabino roaning so she will look similar to her half-brother Outlaw (see above).

Lily has stout, correct conformation and a beautiful head. She foxtrots in the pasture and she is quick, agile and confident. She is a very friendly, people-oriented filly but is also independent and curious. Lily leads, ties and stands for the farrier. Her ground training will continue until she is sold. She will make someone a very striking riding mare or broodmare!

For sale for $1800.

Pride's Yankee Cavalier

Our mare Warrior's Yankee Lady gave birth on May 14, 2004, to a lovely bay colt sired by Danny's Pride of Princess S., a gold champage stallion owned by Linda Vishino of Zorro Farms. Cavalier was sold as a two-year old after siring one foal for us. Now a gelding with a wonderful home in California, he is being trained for Competetive Trail Riding. He has a beautiful head and excellent, well muscled conformation and a natural, ground-covering foxtrot. He also has a suberb, very gentle and excepionally calm temperament.

His bloodlines include Danney Joe W., Mack K's Yankee, Warrior's Gentleman Gem, Campbell's Express, Ben's Black Ace, and many other outstanding MFTs. Cavalier is not for sale at this time. We are evaluating him as a possible second stallion.

SOLD!


Rhythm Master
	Rhythm Master, born July 25, 2003, is a flashy stud. His sire is Color Master and his dam is Travelin' Tootsie. He's a black sabino with a wide blaze and rear stockings. He also has sabino roaning, especially on his flanks. He has foxtrotted since birth and is a friendly and athletic stallion, showing special talent as a jumper. He started jumping things for fun as a baby, and jumps obstacles in the field just for fun. Fortunately, he respects electric fencing. Rhythm has matured into a very well built, stout horse with excellent bone. He has a beautiful head with large, expressive eyes. He is now at stud in New Hampshire where he is producing some very nice foals. SOLD!

Color Me Tootsie

Color Master's first foal, a black sabino filly, was born May 11, 2001. We named her Color Me Tootsie, or MeMe for short.

She's smart, playful and bold. She is a combination of the best traits of each of her parents-- just what we hope for when we breed. She has great conformation, is very athletic and boy can she move!

MeMe is the calmest, friendliest foal I've ever met. Imprinting her was a breeze since nothing seems to bother her. She's very well put together and started to foxtrot as soon as she could manage her long legs. She is black with a large star and snip, mixed mane and tail, and roaning caused by the sabino gene.

SOLD!

MeMe now lives in Hawaii near Volcano National Park.

Pete
	Pete, born in May 2003, was sired by our stallion Color Master out of a sorrel sabino mare owned by a woman in Chillicothe, Ohio. The photo at left shows him at 3 days old. At that time, he had color along his top line and a few other places, but when he shed his foal coat he turned out to be mostly white, with a few colored spots and some roan patches. The photo at right shows him at 4 months old. He is a near-maximum sabino. These photos are not the best, but they do show the change in his markings.

Renegade Lady Warrior

An unusual blue-papered bay roan sabino filly with one blue eye. Her dam is Warrior's Yankee Lady and her sire is Top Spot C., who has Toddy's Perfection, Missouri Traveler, Red Rawhide and Poole's Blue Boy bloodlines.

Lady is bold, friendly and curious, coming up to the barn to greet all visitors.

She will be tall, like both her sire and dam, and boy can she foxtrot! She has great reach, rhythm and headshake. She's a delight to watch and to work with. She now lives in West Virginia, and her new owners have nicknamed her Xena the Warrior Princess.

Warrior's Rockin' Tootsie Roll

Blue-papered dark blood bay colt. His dam is Travelin' Tootsie. His sire is Greystone Warrior S., making him a half-brother to our mare Warrior's Yankee Lady. Rocky is a grandson of World Grand Champion Warrior's Gentleman Gem.

He also has Missouri Traveler, Red Rawhide, Golden Governor and many other foundation bloodlines. He has beautiful conformation and carriage and a natural foxtrot. If you would like to see pictures of Rocky's sire and some of his half-siblings, click here to go to the Heavenbound Farm website .

Rocky is now owned by a man in Wilmington, Ohio.
