Very stout and with a cute, cute head (and natural eyeliner), she will be bred to Ultimate Bounce for a 2006 foal.

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.

Queen is on loan to Skyrock for the next year and a half. She is a daughter of Santee Ace by Tough Plaudit and out of the great mare Santee Julie. Queen's dam is Royal Shamrock by Rated Royal and out of Hi Va Tough Lucy. Queen has her ROM(H), a World Championship and many many Grand Championships. She has a nice big body and the prettiest head in POA. We are delighted to be able to cross this fine mare on Bouncer and would like to thank Carol Keegan of Keegan Showhorses for this opportunity

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.

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.

Lullabye is a real treasure for us as we've been trying to buy her for years. She is a daughter of Suncrest Tattoo, World Champion and Int Res. Champion, and sire of multiple World and International Champions, including Suncrest Magic Moment, JPFC Winner. AND - Lullabye is out of the legendary Suncrest Forever Amber, dam of Supreme Champions and International Grand Champions Suncrest Kandi Bar, Suncrest Big Mac and Suncrest DoughBoy. Kandi Bar and Big Mac also won the International Versatility Class -- Big Mac TWICE! Wow. Moreover, Lullabye has only been bred once - to Bouncer - and that colt won the Cal-State Futurity the first time shown. AND - Lullabye was shown as a young mare and was International Champion 2yo Mare. She is confirmed in foal to Bouncer for '08. What a champion this baby will be!!!! Thank you to the Rachenok's for allowing us to purchase her. We are very excited to add her to our broodmares! (click on images to enlarge)

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.
What a gorgeous girl!
