Our Broodmares

Western Sweets by Western Bugs and her 2009 filly by Basic Black Spruce

This is Western Sweets, a Western Bugs daughter out of a daughter of Valid Appeal TB.  She is one of TWO Paint Valid Appeal g-daughters in existence,,,,We were so fortunate in having leased a beautiful daughter of Valid Appeal who raised two Paint daughters for us.  Years after Valid Appeal's death, his name still graced the ''Leading Broodmare Sires'' list.  This mare is a great example of Western Bugs genetics,,,,,,,she's tall, about 16 hands, correct, and a beautiful mover....and an outstanding producer.  Her promising performance career ended when she was kicked in the shoulder by another horse.  However, her value in the broodmare band is quite obvious.  Her 2009 filly Basically Sweet, by Basic Black Spruce, is shown here.

Below are pictures of several of my favorite mares---you'll find daughters of Splash Bac, Roll the Cash, Angels Policy, Red Eye Special, Fishin Kisses, Mr. Basic Black, Treasured, Cherokee Treasured and other great race and performance horses represented in our broodmare band.
