We have put together a select group of Paint broodmares (after many years of searching and breeding) who carry the tobiano gene and we are selecting cutting bred Quarter Horse pedigrees to bring the colour gene into, to give us modern Quarter Horses that carry the tobiano colour.

Our Quarter Horse mares that are included in the broodmare band were selected purely on their depth of pedigree.
All the mares trace closely to the most consistent performance bloodlines in Australia such as ...

Acres Destiny (imp), Peptoboonsmal (USA), Docs Spinifex (imp), Docs Freckles Oak (imp), Dual Pep (USA), Smart Little Lena (USA), Peppys Doc Bar (imp), and Highbrow Cat (USA), One Time Royalty (USA), Heavy Metal (imp)

Each year we breed these mares to stallions that are cutting and reining bred and have world class pedigrees and outstanding performance histories. Check out our choices in the REFERENCE SIRES pages.

We five panel or three panel test all our broodmares before they join our breeding herd. Results are listed in their writeups. Scroll down to check out our broodmares. From time to time a few of our broodmares are for sale, go to our Sale Barn page for more information or email Dawn or you can simply phone her 0402 797196.
