**DEPOS!T RECEIVED! NO LONGER AVAILABLE**
(I seriously can’t believe I’m letting this one go…. 😂🙄🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️)

2025 AQHA Buckskin Filly
DOB March 15, 2025.
VF Final Corona x CKM Driftinbluesmoke (Roxy).
Foal is 5 panel (possibly 6 panel) clean by parentage.
Roxy is 6 panel clean.
Sire is 5 panel clean (asked the stallion owner and sire is untested as of right now, for MYHM - but panel clean otherwise.)
Sire stands around 15.1.
Dam stands around 15.2-15.3.

This filly is a nice mix of speed and old foundation ranch bloodlines. She should mature to be well built, athletic, kind, talented, and smart! Out of my own saddle horse, “Roxy”, and sired by speed bred VF Final Corona, she should have all the potential to make a pretty nice barrel or rope horse prospect.
I would expect her to mature no smaller than 15.2 - her dam is a big girl, just how I like my saddle horses. Lol. Roxy is a big soggy ranch type mare, with solid bone and good feet.
Her sire will be paid into Western Fortunes, as well as Legends Of The Prairie. So this filly will have those incentives as well.
I have been torn about even putting a
pr!ce on her, because I REALLY wanna keep her for myself. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ But bills don’t pay themselves unfortunately, and as breeders, I guess we can’t keep them all. That being said, she is FOR s@le, not ON s@le. If she doesn’t find a new pasture by fall, I wouldn’t be disappointed if she stays. She is pr!ced accordingly, taking into account her incentives, what the stallion owner said that Corona’s foals were selling for out of the yard last season, and my thoughts on the kind of horse this filly should mature to be.
She is pr!ced at 💸4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ Canadian, + gst.
No p@yment plans or offers for trades please.
Depos!t holds until weaning.
Located near Killarney Mb.
Pm or text 204-534-0995 for more info! Visits are welcome… please reach out if you’d like to come meet her! 😊

Me getting the barn ready for Rox: 🤔Ok. I need to throw down about 5 straw bales. Dont knock the ladder down, dont break the bale strings.🤔

Me, literally 3 second later: *throws first bale, knocks down ladder, breaks strings*.
🤦🏼‍♀️🙄😂

But the barn is bedded and ready for Rox to foal! Her milk is testing down around “go-time” range, and the weather is changing, so she will likely either hatch out a kid tonight, or she will camp on it for a week. Lol. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

GAAAAHHHH!!! Roxy is due any day (barn is cleaned out and ready, and she will foal in there because it’s still chilly outside! She doesn’t look like foaling is imminent, but if her milk keeps coming in as steadily as it has been, we *could* have a foal on the ground within a week or two at most?? (Don’t quote me on that - mares do what they want! 😂🤷🏼‍♀️).
Just for fun, I did “the nail test” on all the mares. Theory is, if the mare is open the nail won’t move. If the mare is having a c**t (boy), the nail swings in a straight line along the mare’s back. If she’s carrying a filly, it swings in a circular motion. I’m not sure how accurate it is, but decided to check them all and see! This is the first year trying it, so should be interesting! Lol. I did try it on a mare I KNOW for sure is open, and the nail didn’t move! I did it on the ones confirmed in foal, and I got either circles or back and forth for all of them. I checked a mare that was preg checked as open (not with ultrasound), but I’ve been wondering about her, as she was looking in foal to me (although bred late). The nail swung back and forth for her. So I’ll be interested to see if she IS actually in foal after all! 😂🤷🏼‍♀️
(Fb won’t let me post the video of Roxy’s nail test along with the pics for some reason, so I’ll post in the comments. 😊)

Spencer… 🥰

03/03/2025

We can’t get enough of this handsome prospect… a home raised, own son of our late Red Eddie Drift (Eddie’s last foal ever), and out of the mare we call Pistol (SQH Dunitinlightnin - a granddaughter of the legendary Playgun). He’s growing and developing nicely, and did well in the first part of his training under saddle last summer (sending him back for “part 2” this year). His 6 panel test will be sent in soon, and as long as that checks out, we hope to have 2-3 mares in foal to him for 2026.
(Disclaimer: a friend said we should add a disclaimer, to say that Chad is about 6’6”, so makes even our tall horses look short! 😂😂)

To quote his owner, Nash says “Yes!” to Canadian Sovereignty! Happy Canada Flag Day everyone! 🇨🇦
Nash is sired by our big man, Gunner. 💜

💕VALENTINES WEEKEND SPECIAL!💕

In honour of Valentines Day, and in appreciation of the February long weekend, we are offering a special on stud services!

Book this long weekend - February 14-Feb 17, 2025, and save 2️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ on a 2025 breeding to either Gunner or Re*****on.

Live cover only - our studs have not been trained for AI, as we mainly pasture breed here. Can do live cover prior to our own season, turnout with our mares, or live cover later in the season when most of our mares should be already covered.

Regular Stud F.e.e 💸1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣, plus mare care. (BUT BOOK IN THIS WEEKEND FOR THE VALENTINES WEEKEND SPECIAL, OF 💸7️⃣5️⃣0️⃣!).

Booking F.e.e. 💸2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ (due when booking but deducted from total balance o.w.i.n.g at pick up).

Live foal guarantee, approved substitute mares allowed.
Contact for more info, CKM Quarter Horses or Kristin Vincent May (I run this page! lol). 😊

*ALSO*
2025 will be Spencer’s first season at stud. We intend to give him 3 mares of our own, have opened his “stud book” up to 2-3 trusted local breeders for 2-3 additional mares, and are *considering* (this is not definite - TBD) accepting one additional “CKM approved”, outside AQHA mare for 2025. LFG, pending interest.
As this is his first season at stud, preference for the one additional outside breeding, will be given to mares that are easy breeders (not kicky or rude about live cover), that have carried foals before (No Maiden mares please). Stay tuned for a post coming soon, with regard to this opportunity! If interested or if you have questions, please reach out! I’ll be happy to help you! 😊👍🏼

Not specifically CKM related, but definitely valuable information to have on hand!! Sharing because we care about YOUR horses too! 💜😊👍🏼

With the crazy Texas weather this is a great think to have in the barn

The weather has NOT been conducive to getting good pictures lately (at least not without freezing one’s fingers lol). But got a few today, of our 2022 stud prospect, “Spencer” - CKM Eds Son Of A Gun. Spencer is sired by our late Red Eddie Drift, and is out of the mare we call Pistol (a granddaughter of the legendary Playgun).
Spencer is the last foal, sired by Eddie. We hope to expose 2-3 of our mares to him this season, and see what he produces as far as build and mind. But we are hopeful that he may someday, fill the shoes left for him, by his sire, Eddie. 💜
