New pics of our Shaq, plus, I'm back!

I snapped these pictures little over week ago of our stallion Watch Joe Shaq. He seems to get more show stopping each year! You can definitely see his roan gene coming through in the summertime.

And also I am getting back on my feet from being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I was in the hospital from Monday May 3rd until Friday the 7th. It has been a very slow recovery, but everyday is better.

Since I have been on here, we now have only the 2 two year old fillies left for purchase and now our new 2010 additions.

New Addition!

Last Friday night, April 16th, Drifter had a beautiful little filly (pictured here)! I know these pictures aren't the best but I also know that I have never had just two pictures of any of our Windy Creek baby and then be done with it. There will be plenty more pictures in the weeks and months ahead.

On a sad note last Wednesday, April 14th Royal had a pretty red roan baby but before the next morning it had passed away. Royal seems to doing fine so we are not sure what was wrong with her baby.

Caleb's Mare Midnite and her little baby are both doing good. He is pictured here below.

We still are not 100% sure what color he is going to be!

These pictures were taken the 21st. The same day as the ones from my last post of our yearlings and two year olds.

We have a couple mares getting pretty close but there are still a couple that have a way to go.

I can't get same day pictures on here, I hardly ever have and probably never will. Because I use my sister Cindy's computer and camera (and a busy life) it so it's not easy for me to do.This is the only way that I can do my blog.

Still have 2 yr. olds.

The trailer was full for SD so we still have our 3 two year olds and 2 yearlings for sale. If you "search the blog" or whatever that box says, you can see all the entries with the certain ones in by searching their name.

I just had to add the picture of them by the water tank, I love all their colors!

These pictures were taken last night April 20th.
They are still winter scraggly but they're getting there!

First 2010 baby at Windy Creek!

Tuesday, April 13th my nephew Caleb's mare Gabbys Midnite Watch (and Shaq) had her first ever colt (a sharp little stud colt!). He is our first colt this spring!

















Once again it has the color that we are not sure what it is going to turn out to be. He has looked like a gray, a roan, and a buckskin in it's first three days of life so far, we will have to wait and see what he will actually turn out to be.

Midnite and baby are both looking good.


A side note about the last post - if there is room in a family friends trailer, we will be selling our two year olds at the Corsica, SD horse sale this coming Monday.

Yearlings and 2 year olds still available.

We currently have 3 two year olds (red dun stallion "Shaqs Royal Dandy", red dun filly "Lovely Lady In Red, sorrel filly "Watch Elsies Lady") and 2 yearlings both red dun stallions "Stormy Red Cane" and "Shaqs Proud Rebel" for sale. Their dispositions are good and they are all put together very nicely. We want to raise the kind of horse that anyone would enjoy to have and would be comfortable being around them. The two year olds are all really nice sized already so it won't be too long before they can get started. They haven't had a whole lot done with any of them but they are super easy to be around. When you are by them it is like walking into a pen of puppies, they all want your attention.

Our stallion Watch Joe Shaq, who is pictured throughout the blog, is out of Watch Joe Jack Bars who is a son of Watch Joe Jack and our five main mares, the ones whose babies are for sale right now, are all 1/2 sisters out of Sneaky Red Baron who is a son of Mr Baron Red. The papers on the colts we raise still include Watch Joe Jack on the top and Mr Baron Red on the bottom. Watch Joe Jack is featured in the latest Western Horseman "Legends" book. The colts pictured above are the 2 yearlings, "Stormy Red Cane" facing the camera born June of 2009. He is out of "Shaq" and our mare "SRB Can Cane." And "Shaqs Proud Rebel" out of "Shaq" and "SRB Country Drifter" born April 2009. These pictures were taken last fall before weaning. We have newer pictures but their winter coat is distracting. I will try and get pictures of the two year olds so you can what we got.

In the search box on the blog page you can type in the names and it should come up with the entries where they are included.

The price is $300 for choice, and $50 dollars off each when you take more than one. If they are going out of state we ask for reimbursement for coggins test. Thank you for taking the time to check us out. The Schroeder Family

Drifter on a drift!

This is the kind of crazy winter we have been facing for weeks! If you look close in the second picture you can see the tops of Shaq and the mares. It is going to be fun to see all of our stretched out barbed wire fences in the spring once the snow is finally off! These pictures were taken the middle of Jan. Today again we have more blowing snow and drifting and another inch or two in forecast.

More pictures of the registered colts at Windy Creek Qtr Horses

The one looking over is Lovely Lady In Red, red dun yearling filly. Canes Twistin Shaq is the red roan on the right side.

This little sorrel is Watch Elsies Lady, yearling

In the two pictures here at the end, Shaqs Proud Rebel and Watch John Three 16 are walking from the trailer into their new yard. I was so pleased at how slick it went bringing the littlest ones into the yard. I know that the last two post have already been pictures from 11-29 but I still had some more to share. These are just some general ones. Most all of the ones pictured are for sale. The only ones not for sale are Fancy and Lucky, the big red dun and the big sorrel.
