Windy Creek Mare "SRB Can Cane"

Cane is seven years old and has a three for three colt record since Shaq and the mares have been old enough. So far she has had red duns and roans. I can't wait to see what she will be having this year.

To us all our mares are beautiful but there is just something about Cane that sets her apart from all the rest. It is like when you see pictures of what the ideal American Quarter horse is suppose to be like. Her babies are always just as awesome. Please be sure to check back to see when our new 2008 colt crop starts.

Spring Is On It's Way

This picture doesn't look much like spring but I wanted to use it before summertime when it would really be far off. It is of our yearlings, I know it is hard to see them but you get the idea. Today is suppose to be in the upper 50's so at least for a little while it is going to feel like spring.

Our Mares are all looking good. Drifter was the first to have her colt last year and I think this year she may have a run for her money to keep that honor. By the way it looks we should be five for five again this year. We are anxious to see what Lena, mom's new mare, will have this year hopefully making it six for six. Make sure to start checking back in a month or so to see the additions to Windy Creek.

Bloodlines on yearlings

Here are the bloodlines on the four yearlings for sale. The new layout on their registration papers are neat, you can see the year the horses were born. Sorry if the print is blurry on the papers, I increased the zoom level and that seemed to help. One thing to point out, if you are wondering where Shazs Driftwood Bell came from it was suppose to be Shaqs Driftwood Bell. Again, if any questions email me at justladouit@gmail.com

Watch Joe Shaq

Shaq is a red dun stallion that is six years old. He is registered as a red dun that carries and expresses the roan gene. When dad bought him as a yearling I wondered why dad would get such a funny colored horse but dad knew what he was doing. Shaq has grown into a beautiful stud with a great disposition. He is easy to catch and able to walk up to in the pasture.We couldn't ask for a better stallion for our farm. He is usually pastured year around with the mares but this past fall he went to Cunningham Quarter Horses in Laurel, Nebraska for some training. Now Shaq is at my brothers place to get some more ride time on.

How it got started

We are located in northwest Iowa and have only been AQHA members for a few years. I can't remember a time when there has not been a horse on our farm. I realized that I didn't take much time to explain about how we got started. My dad always had a love of horses, from childhood on. He passed that love onto his wife and six kids and further on to his daughters-in-law and son-in-law and grandchildren. It was his and moms dream to raise quarter horses when they had retired from farming. Dad bought the five mares that we started with a few years ago when they were yearlings and two year old, now they are from six to ten years old. This past Fall mom bought a sixth mare to add to our herd. Our stallion was bought by dad when it was a yearling as well and is now six years old. It has been rewarding to watch our horses grow. Some may wonder why we are so excited about such a small herd but it is a family dream that takes on more meaning every year. If cancer were not so cruel Dad would still be here and anxious to see the new crop of colts coming. Mom has kept the horses because of the dream her and dad shared and that they instilled into their children. We look forward to seeing many more colts be born at Windy Creek for years to come.
