Basically Sweet

2009 Bay Tobiano Filly

Here she is--your dream filly--if perfect conformation, classy good looks, fancy color AND a super pedigree filled with Champions are on your list of requirements. The first picture below was taken when she was a few hours old, the final picture in this series was taken in October 2009.

 

Basically Sweet is ''all that and more!''  She has the pedigree, the classic good looks, conformation, bone and body type that says she should be an excellent performance horse with a great long career ahead of her.  She's built to last!

Her dam is a daughter of our Western Bugs who had ROMs in Heading, Heeling, Steer Stopping Points, and was the sire and grandsire of horses with winnings in regional and national competition in many arena events including barrel racing, stake race, dressage, and team roping.  Her second dam was a daughter of Valid Appeal one of TBs leading broodmare sires for much of his lengthy career at stud. This is a very well bred filly, a youngster that's worthy and capable of a big performance career if that's what you want to do with her!

Her proven speed and performance bloodlines combined to produce what will be a versatile, capable athlete with the big heart and good mind that her families are known for.  She's kind, intelligent, has a very pleasant playful and inquisitive disposition.  She's a gorgeous mover, a natural athlete with beautiful lead changes, smooth sliding stops, quick turns and plenty of speed!  Her long shoulder slopes beautifully, she has perfect straight legs, a long underline, and a short back.  Add that pretty Western Bugs hip and her classically pretty head and you have a great all around prospect!  Contact us for pricing and a payment contract on this nice filly...you'll be surprised at just how easily you can purchase your next prospect.
