Rest In Peace - Playful Idea aka “Smarty” - 2005 - 2023 - Smarty was a once in a lifetime horse - He was as gritty and tough as they come - he was the perfect northwest show horse - the worse the cattle were the better he was, I’m not sure but I don’t think he ever lost a cow - he will truly be missed and always hold a special place in our hearts 💔💔💔

💎💎 Mia Bossy Cat 💎💎

As the foaling year ends I‘d like to honor one of the greatest mares I have had the pleasure to train, show, as well as, have the ability to breed and raise her exceptional offspring. In 2006, my first year out on my own as a trainer, I had the opportunity to purchase Mia Bossy Cat as a weanling from Harvey & Lynette Doman. It was such an honor to carry on the lineage they had been perfecting. Mia was so small, but she made up for her lack of height with an abundance of width. She was intelligent, willing and cowy, which was a great combination for a successful cutting career. She carried me to several finals and championships, my most memorable was winning the PCCHA Limited Open Futurity. Unfortunately, her career was cut short by an injury. After several years off and one foal Mia was back in the show pen. This time she was carrying precious cargo, our son, Hunter. Mia gave Hunter the confidence to want to show. We will be ever thankful for her patience and kindness while teaching Hunter the ins and outs of cutting. Once again, Mia had shown her value and it was time to raise a few more babies. She has been a GREAT mother and we have been blessed to raise such nice babies out of her.
As many of you know we raise a few of our own each year and a few for some of our clients. This year we were very excited to welcome a Smooth Talkin Style filly out of Cascade Land and Cattle’s great mare Sweet Plain Reminic. Unfortunately, the recip mare rejected the foal. Despite all of our efforts and that of Table Rock Equine, we were not able to remedy the aggressive behavior of the mare. Mia had had a foal a few days prior and we decided to have the orphan foal nurse on Mia. We blocked Mia’s line of sight to ensure a safer experience for the foal. The foal nursed without incident, when the foal backed away from Mia, Mia started to talk to the orphan. Knowing that Mia had a kind heart I decided to see what Mia would do if she was led up to the foal. Mia proceeded to talk to the foal and start to lick her face, neck and back. We watched in absolute awe, Mia had accepted the foal as her own immediately. Mia is now the proud mother of Peeps and Tweets. Truly an amazing horse❤️
