DIXIE HAS BEEN LEASED TO AN EXCELLENT HOME
FOR THE 2011 SEASON
Good Luck at the Shows, Sunset Girls!
Bunny is a very
correct, large and gentle mare whose bloodlines are super hot. Bunny was
bred by the Bagwells in OK, and is by their stallion JKA Supreme Scooter
and out of Dee's Diablo QT, an AQHA mare. The Bagwells have found a very
good formula for futurity babies: crossing their Santee bred homozygous stallion
on Quarter mares. Bunny is one of the first of their really big success
stories: as a weanling, she WON the Select Sire Futurity! Since then, there has
been a steady stream of "Bun" POAs in the winner's circle. Currently, Bunny's
1/2 brother, RBR Bunbelievable , is leading the nation and won World
Champion and Multiple Regional Grand Championships, and has been a consistent
winner at the under saddle Futurities. We are very excited about adding Bunny
to our broodmare line up! Her first foal by Bouncer will be due in '07,
and we can hardly wait to see what this cross will produce. In the meantime, she
will be started under saddle and learn how to negotiate the streets of Norco.
Thanks to the Chastains for offering us this great mare.

FLASH!
Bunny has been taking her training very well. She has done some excellent
round pen work with our current trainer Kash Grimes, and we have had
wonderful reports on her first few rides. Bunny's very first go under saddle
featured 10 year old Miss Elizabeth Grimes in the seat. Bunny was perfect.
Thanks, Elizabeth! Next up for Bunny - a visit with Mr Bounce - then back
for another 30 days before mom gets into the saddle.

- Skyrock Copper Penny
ROM(T), a '96 POA mare, bay
with snowflakes.
Penny is currently the only "hardshipped"
POA at Skyrock. She is actually a Quarter/Appaloosa cross whom we purchased
as a two-year-old with the intention of training and reselling. Though she
was short, we didn't think she would mature under the 56" limit. But
Perry (Dad) started sweet-talking to her, and suddenly she became 'his'
pony. Penny was started by Stacy (Irwin) Lair, and has been
an around-the-house pony for a couple of years because she was always
over-height for her age. Luckily she stopped growing at just the right
moment and we were able to hardship her in at 55 7/8 ". Penny is
a powerful mare, with a nice quarter horse type build, and an amazing talent
for jumping and games.
- Flash! Penny showed in
her very first Halter class at the 2002 SouthWest Regional, placing third in
a large field of outstanding mares.
-
FLASH! Penny has
been bred to Bouncer for a February 2005 foal. This foal should be a powerhouse!
Large size POA, Halter quality with Performance
ability. SSF Eligible!

superior conformation and movement. See foal's page.

Penny will be entering a new stage here at Skyrock. K will be
training her for gymkhana (and possibly HUS). Her first show will be Sept.
20, where the team will jog patterns. Good Luck Penny & K!
-
FLASH!
Penny and K had a great Open Show series November 14,15 & 16. She
placed in almost every gymkhana class entered, and even won several! What
impressed us the most is her obvious talent despite the fact that she's
green- when Penny & K have enough hours to start really clicking,
they will burn it up!

FLASH! Penny
and K are 3rd in the Nation in POAC's Open Show Program in the 13-18
Division! Congrats K & Penny!
-
FLASH!
Penny and K competed at the Cal-State March 14th Show
at Sycamore Canyon in San Dimas. Penny was shown at Halter by Chelsea
Morgan (Thanks, Chelsea!) and pulled a respectable 3rd, then K and Penny
walk/jogged the Games for Participation points as K is up to her knee in a
walking cast (non-horse related accident). Penny was a super good
girl, and she and K even loped the final class, a Single Pole pattern!
-
FLASH!
K & Penny had a very relaxed, enjoyable show at
Cal-State's Sycamore Canyon 5/2 event. K has her foot back in the stirrup,
so they were able to actually lope several patterns. (Big grin on K's face!)
A very fun show.
-
FLASH!
K & Penny are really starting to shape up! See the below pictures
from the August 09 Cal-State Show held at the Fairplex at Pomona. Not too
shabby for a greenie ex-broodmare with not quite a year of formal training!


-
FLASH! Penny
and K showed at the Rocky Mountain Regional and the Western Classic in
Loveland Colorado over the 4th of July weekend. Penny placed in
Halter and then had a couple of phenomenal rides in HUS, placing 8th of 17
in 13-18, which thrilled us, then going on to place 4th in Senior, again out
of 17 entries. It was awesome! The team also had a gorgeous WP go, and
though they didn't place, it was a personal best for them and we were super
happy with it. At the Classic, the team concentrated on Games, trying to
earn those last few Regional points towards Penny's ROM(T) and they
pulled it off! It was a great trip, not only showing, but seeing the
gorgeous countryside and the wildlife along the way. We have a couple
more shows in CA, then Penny will go back home to 'Skyrock West' and
plans are to breed her to Bouncer for a 2012 foal.
-
FLASH!
Penny and K showed at the Cal-State Labor Day Weekend show and picked
up several more Timed and Non-Timed points, plus a Second in Large
Mares - woohoo! Not too shabby for a 14 year-old ex broodie!

Missy is by Santee Twister,
International Champion and Sire, and out of R Misty Stuff, champion
producing mare. Full sister to Santee Impress, many time Utah State
Champion Stallion. A lovely mare, Missy was bred by Gene Carr and was
in his South Dakota broodmare band for nine years, so when she arrived in
California, it was a big change for her in more ways than one. However, she
has a naturally good, quiet nature and has decided she just loves all the
individual attention she receives at our smaller operation. Our first
"full-time" broodmare, Missy's job is to produce a top
quality Skyrock bred foal each year for show and sale. She has the bloodline
credentials and the build, and if her first foal born at Skyrock, Skyrock
Skipper Twist, is any indication, she's going to be Skyrock's top
producer for many years.
-
FLASH! Missy
has been bred to International Champion Santee Saladin for a March
19, 2005
foal. If you might be interested in this foal, please contact us at ponies@skyrockpoas.com.
SSF Eligible!

Missy outproduced herself again with Skyrock Sequoia Tee,
sorrel few-cap colt by Santee Saladin, POA ROM Champion. See

FLASH!
After the traumatic loss of her last filly, it's been decided that Missy
will be retired from breeding and enjoy mooching around my folk's place with
no specific job.

Lacey is
a half sister to our mare Driftwood Dixie, having the same sire, St
Nik's Snowstorm (Proven Producer), sire of such famous POAs as JBJ's
Firestorm and Miss Cinnamon Snow. They look quite a bit alike,
especially their beautiful heads, although Lacey is taller and has more
of a rail-pony build. Both mares have the same sweet personality, something we
look for in our ponies. Lacey's Dam is JBJ's Design By Dude, who
was of course by Premiere Sire Doc's Tough Dude. Lacey has
produced foals for Little Valley Oaks, notably LVO Respect This Miss,
Cal-State Futurity Champion, NW Regional Futurity Champion and 3rd at the Select
Sire Futurity, as well as reserve high selling mare at the '01 Sale.

LVO Respect This Miss
is the dam of Doc's Respect This Dude, (above) standing at ElDiHan's POAs.
LVO
Whole Lotta Respect, now in Texas, was also out of Lacey. We are so
pleased to have such a well bred, proven broodmare to add to our herd. Thanks to
Karen Dunford for letting us bring Lacey home.

Big Tyme Model
'05 palomino near-leopard POA Mare
Sandee is a daughter of Color
Me Big Tyme (Santee Admiral X Santee Pride) and out of Santee
Spanish Model (Santee Spanish Nick X Santee Model). With fabulous breeding
like this, we couldn't pass her up! Stacy Lair of Competitor's Edge, and Shannon
Clark of Clark Performance Horses found her at the 2009 National Sale and
purchased her for Mom, who has always wanted a Palomino! She's a little thing -
barely 53", but she's well built and should broaden out this year. Sandee
spent a bit of time at Stacy's, then was sent to be bred to Bouncer for a
2011 foal - we can't wait to see the color on this one!
Can't see the great color in
these pics, but you can see her nifty new purple PJs! Better pics coming soon!
-
FLASH!
Sandee is in foal to Bouncer
for a 2011 foal!

FLASH! Sandee attended
her first show over Labor Day Weekend. Guess what? Reserve Grand Champion
Mare, plus firsts in Color and her walk-jog Pleasure classes, plus some
placings in 3-gaited as well. Super happy! Alas, as Sandee is already
starting to show a tummy for her March foal, she headed back to Skyrock West
for down time before foaling season.

colt is weaned.
