Mad About You Appaloosa Stallion

Hi everyone,

Obie (Mad About You) will no longer be available for stud duties, and as we couldn’t find the right home for him as a stallion, he will soon be gelded.

As such, we will archive this page shortly, but wanted to give you all the opportunity to jump across on to the Kiyiya Horse Stud page to follow any updates on him as a gelding. 🧡

Our final foal for the season has arrived and we got exactly what we wanted! 🎉🥳

Introducing “Holly” 😍

By “Mad About You” and out of our leased mare “LL Travlin White Cloud”.

Born at the respectable time of 9:21pm on the 6th of December. This little firecracker is full of “appytude” already and keeping her mum on her toes.

We are thrilled to bits! Welcome to the world Holly! 🥰🧡

Last Foal for the season by Mad About you. And it’s a Filly ! photos to come
(3 fillies & 1 c**t in total)

Mad About You is offered for sale again due to buyer default and inconsiderate time wasters , serious buyers only enquire .

This is the last oppertunity to purchase him as a Stud and would be an asset to any breeding program

Obie is booked in to be gelded in the new year if he does not sell before . Not Negotiable on price as he is already priced to sell and under value of his true worth .

⚠️ Wide Load ⚠️

Our lovely Ella (WJ Seek To Impress) due any day now to our stallion Obie (Mad about You).
The wait is killing us 😫...

What do you think? Will we get a Halloween baby?? 🎃

💕 WJ Seek to Impress aka Ella 💕

A 2003 (super)model, Ella is AAA registered, approx 15.2hh and 5 panel negative. She’s also an absolute sweetheart and a firm favourite with visitors due to her affectionate nature.

Sire: Sure to Impress IMP USA (DEC)
Dam: JVQ Gold Seeker (AQHA)

Ella was the NSW Reserve State Champion in 2004, NSW State Halter Champion in 2006 and the National Futurity and National Halter Champion in 2007, before retiring to the broodmare band, where she has already gone on to produce national, state and club level champion progeny for her previous owners, including halter and versatility classes.

Ella’s sire “Sure to Impress” IMP USA (DEC) was an iconic National Champion sire and Australian Multi National Champion himself.
Her dam “JVQ Gold Seeker” is also a champion halter mare with points in HUS, trail and western pleasure, along with a pedigree overflowing with World Champions and world champion producers on both her dam and sire sides.

Ella is in foal to our stallion “Mad About You” aka Obie, and due in a couple of weeks for a mid October baby.

It’s a little quiet here at Kiyiya at the moment, after a not so great start to foaling season. 😔

On Tuesday morning (18th August )our lovely mare Luminescence surprised us with a beautiful chestnut filly by Mad About You , 5 weeks earlier than planned.

Despite the best efforts of everyone, including our fantastic vets and constant care for 24hrs, our fiesty little redhead lost her battle and we had to say goodbye.

Lumi has adjusted as well as can be expected and is now back in with her best friend Freckles.
It has been an incredibly difficult time for us all and has taken some time for us to find the words.

Rest In Peace sweet girl.
You were, and always will be to us, a force to be reckoned with.
