In 2000, we were presented with the honor of
owning 86 acres of some of the most beautiful land we had
ever seen....86 acres of God's country, here in south central Tennessee.
... of lush, green rolling hills, spring fed
ponds, and old growth hardwoods. We were truly blessed. A topography so
perfect for raising horses, the gentle but assertive hillsides make for
strong legs and deep lungs, the deep meadows offer scrumptious offerings
3 seasons each year, and spring water in three ponds ringed with deep
shade, and shared with scads of Canadian geese, make ideal spots for
reposing during deliciously lazy summer days.. Tucked back away from the
hustle of civilization, the foals grow fat and shiny, and self assured
that they are the center of the universe. It's a dream come true
for us, the dream of breeding new champions, champions at ALL levels,
for all levels of riders to enjoy...and of course, a paradise for them!
Our
rolling topography makes for healthy babies and is essential for mares to
stay fit while in foal

DF China Doll
(Arabian Mare) |
Updated photos taken 4-08 of our spectacular
registered Oldenburg /Half Arabian colt by
Ironman and out of our Main Book GOV Arabian
mare, China Dol. IronStone is now just two years
of age and stands an impressive 15.3h of muscle
and superbly balanced, athletic horseflesh.. You
see that he jumps, his first time ever seeing a
jump chute of three jumps and we had to do
little to encourage him. The last jump in the
series was an oxer set at 3' with a 4' spread!.
Not many two year olds can accomplish this on
their own!
IronStone is currently being lightly started
under saddle to get a roaring head start on
2009's show circuit!. Buy him NOW before we
increase his price upon completion of his
training!
His movement is superior, what the warmblood AND
Arabian world is seeking. This is a National
Quality colt that is, according to the owner of
his sire, 'a stallion prospect'.. His
temperament is beyond compare and his beauty
speaks for itself. He has the talent , ability
and boldness to go either dressage, jumping,
hunter or eventing. It is now obvious why he
went PREMIUM at his GOV inspection. He is
offered for sale to competitors who want to win.
IronStone is the highly respected Oldenburg
stallion, IRONMAN'S, FIRST Arabian cross foal!!
IRONMAN is currently the NUMBER ONE HUNTER
BREEDING sire in the country, and also produces
wonderful dressage talent. He himself is an
accomplished champion Gran Prix jumper.
This gorgeous colt has been christened 'IronStone'
and is shown here at several age stages. His dam
is by the National Champion stallion, *Enchanter
Magic, and out of a Dreamazon daughter. Royalty
on BOTH sides of the fabulous colt! IronStone is
an extravagant mover of enormous quality of
conformation, and is so elegant and typey, he is
Main Ring halter quality as well as a shoo in
for winning in Arabian Sport Horse, but has the
size and athletic ability to be a top contender
on the USEF AND/OR USDF circuit as well. True
VERSATILITY!
The stallion owner tells us he is 'exquisite'
and 'in the top one or two of IRONMAN'S 20 plus
foals for 2006". And is offered for sale to the
discriminating competitor/breeder who is looking
for the very best. We could not be more pleased.
A huge 'THANK YOU' to Nancy Maloney and her fine
stallion."
IRONSTONE (By IRONMAN ) and out of DF China
Doll just went PREMIUM at the Oldenburg Verband (NOT ISR/OLD)
inspection last weekend. The inspectors were taken with him. We are
going to Dressage at Devon with him as well!!

'Classical Jazz'
FeuerEver is a once in a lifetime filly. She has particularly
correct legs and feet . With her lovely disposition , attitude,
and talent, she is an amateur's dream and a professional's
heaven.. She should mature between 16 - 16.1h, with incredible

unusually free shoulder for such a young horse, , as well as
excellent balance. athleticism (natural, smooth lead changes
)and self carriage. She is also self confident and dignified,
friendly and loving, and enjoys her people. She was easily
halter trained at the age of one day and has one of the lightest
faces of any horse we have ever bred, . She loads, ties, body
clips , bathes, sprays, etc, is a true southern lady.. She even
ponies behind our farm cart! video avail to serious inquires via
