⚜️ Wind This Kitty Up⚜️ S⏺️LD

“Tilly” is a stunning 2023 AQHA Buckskin filly.

Who doesn’t love dapples for dayyyssss?

Sired by a ranked JR Cowhorse Stallion, Wind Her up Nic and out of a daughter of Palo Duro Cat. This filly will cut and track anything that wanders into their field and a nice enough mover for those cowhorse and ranch events. Her dam has other successful foals on a similar cross. She has been easy and soft to handle, with tons of try to her.

Tilly is going to be one of those horses that wants a job. She is going to want to go to work and be with her person. She will nicker to everyone she sees and comes running to hang out with me anywhere she sees me. Shes needs someone with lots of time on their hands to give her the attention she craves.

Current on Vaccines, Worming and Farrier. She’s mostly been running out but leads well, easy to catch and stalls good. Blemish free and a clean slate.

Only selling because I found a mare I’d like to add to my broodmare herd that fits my current stallion better. She is 6 panel N/N and VERY likely HZ black for breeding purposes after a career.

This beautiful lady was checked open, we only bred her once due to her having a fractured tooth removed, but I am thinking the baby hid because we are looking rather plump 💕.

This baby will be a full sibling to Sol 🔥

This beautiful momma is cooking us a Tellers Dash baby!

This mare may be one of our most balanced mares and she always adds her substance to her babies!

This gal was a beast on cattle when she was in cowhorse training in Texas, I have no doubt this foal will track a steer!

10/29/2024

My little stink is growing like a w**d 💕 I would say she’s a perfect mixture of her mommas sweetness and her daddies charm.

He’s always there to es**rt us during evening feed time. This guy is loaded with personality! Just lopin leaving me behind going 25 😧😮‍💨

Pierogi is baking her 3rd Mouse (Smart Lil Caballero) foal. This is a popular cross that produces nice big stout foals that are just plain easy on the eyes!

The yearling filly (smoochee) out of this cross stands 14.2 at a year and a half (measured with a stick, not guessed.)

Pierogi is a grandaughter of the great Paddy’s Irish Whiskey and out of a Shining Spark bred mare, crossed on mouse who is a great producer of ranch horses these foals and handy all around using horses.

10/15/2024

Here is another newer addition to our broodmare gang!

Glenda (yes she came with the name 🤭) was bred by the memory ranches out in Idaho. They are world renowned for their production of Rope horses. Glenda is an own daughter of Trace Of Glen who won $250,000 in team roping.

Glenda is such a kind, level- headed mare that has a drive to work. If you like them WIDE and STOUT this is a mare you want to watch!! She’s a blast to ride and I look forward to a year I can leave her open and ride her some more!

She’s in foal to Tellers Dash for 2025! This foal will be an all around rodeo/ranch mount. This foal will be built to last.

10/14/2024

I am just getting around to sharing one of our newest additions to the broodmare band and our first to foal in 2025. This is Gypsy a.k.a. Firewater Cream Bar.

She is in foal to Tellers Dash for 2025.
She is 6 panel N/N and has many accolades in the show pen. She is an own daughter of Firewater Special and we are excited to see how she does as a broodmare.

Her first baby is already spoken for and more than likely her second!

2024 Dark Bay Rabicano Stud C**t.
Paid in full to Future Fourtunes and 7 panel N/N.

He is Sired by Tellers Dash (Corona Cartel x Dash for Cash) and out of Poco Santana Anna (Shorty Lena x Freckles Pl***oy.) BOTH of his parents have worked for a living.

This colts papers are stacked but more importantly he is built to do a job, be it barrel racing or roping. He will have enough cow to track a steer and sure enough run to catch him, quickly. He will have a good enough head on his shoulders to do day work if that’s what needed of him.

He’s got a big hip and strong shoulder to him. Nice hard black feet and a pretty head with a big intelligent eye. He is a friendly guy and likes to please.

Hes been raised right, he is halter broke (correctly), UTD on everything. We provide an excellent nutrition program for our babies.

higher x,###. He is FIRM.

*** Warning, this is a long post and the photos are EXTREMELY GRAPHIC ***

I have debated so many times how to tell this story, when to tell it. I even debated if I should share at all.
However this little fighter and her vet deserve big time credit and hopefully by sharing her story it it provides hope for someone else. Let’s face it, horses get hurt and if have them for any amount of time you will get your own little personalized degree in veterinary medicine.

Here we go.

On June 26th, we had just experienced another violent storm with high winds. It took the power out and left many trees uprooted. Jed and I stepped out on the porch to survey the damage, I immediately looked to the mare and foal pasture to witness the herd gathered under a large oak. Everyone looked well, but just as I looked away a branch snapped and fell from tree and the horses spooked….. HARD.
They ran right towards the fence and away from the branch. I saw Vesper wedged in-between two mares, they turned at the last moment and Vesper when head long into the woven wire fence.

My heart sank, she was several hundred yards away, but I could see blood. I immediately ran back inside and dialed our emergency contact number for our AMAZING vet Dr Tawney. She picked up almost instantly and assured me she was on her way.

I then threw on my boots and ran to Vesper. I don’t what I expected but I didn’t expect what I found. I have never witnessed an injury so bad.
I included a photo in the post but it is not for the faint of heart. My heart sank and I felt all hope go out the window …. for a second. Then I realized she was standing there calmly, acting perfectly stable and not bleeding excessively. Hopes began to grow.

Dr. Tawney arrived in record time, I met her on the driveway and warned her it was bad and maybe we should just go look at her first before stressing her by moving her into the barn. We walked out to where she was standing hidden by her mother from our sight. As we got close she stepped around from behind Cotton (her dam) and Dr. Tawney’s mouth fell open. She said nothing. For about 3 minutes.

Then she said “I think she can be fixed, I can’t do it but I think someone can.”

That one sentence set in-motion and elaborate plan to save this fillies life. Starting with Dr. Tawney leaving to make phone calls (we still have no power at this point) and returning close to midnight to help us with a better wet dressing to protect the exposed bone and keep it stable and doing our best to see to it her pain was manageable for the trip to Va Tech, the hospital who answered the call. Vesper remained completely stable and honestly pretty unfazed by the whole ordeal from the moment it happened until the time we dropped her off at VA Tech. She had everyone there enamored with her and honestly everyone who has met her since.

Tech preformed a surgery to remove the shards of bone that couldn’t be saved and to try to piece together the skin that they could. They made full closure at first but much of the skin later died and fell away before we were able to pick her up.

We brought her home on the Fourth of July with really no guarantees that she’d make it, and no idea how long it would take to heal. She lost a lot of bone and had a gaping hole into her sinus cavity that spanned basically the entire length of her face.

I would be lying if I said I didn’t cry the first time we unwrapped her at home. It felt like there was no way she’d heal. How could she, I thought? Even though it seemed impossible by faith we wrapped her back up. Every day. Eventually the hole became smaller and the gap a-little less. We had numerous setbacks, but everyday we kept going, we kept fighting. She would lay in my lap in her stall and I would rub her neck and we would comfort each other. We had meds every 6 hours for 10 days, then had to repeat more meds when she had a lingering infection from her IV port. We would have a few good days and a few bad ones but eventually things started looking less grim and more hopeful.

Today we are 70+ dressing changes, 3 surgeries and 102 days in. We are ALMOST to closure and we can all finally exhale. For the sake of my marriage we won’t talk about the dollars put in 🤣🤣. All jokes aside I have the most supportive husband. I cried every dressing change for the first two weeks and he remained a pillar of strength. Vesper would huff as to say “Lady, it’s MY face, get a grip.” We did 50 of these bandage changes and 2 of the surgeries without her even being halter broke. She was just that willing and that trusting. She would lay her head in my arms and close her eyes and let us wrap her back up.

Every single day Vesper has met us with a whinny, perky ears and a COMPLETE gusto for life. She has never doubted we were helping her and although she was tired at times never stopped loving people.

Vesper grew more than we ever thought possible (13.1 hands at 5months) she stayed healthy and maintained a good weight. She has reminded me everyday she’s worth the worry and we have done the right thing. I am proud to say she is a testament to the minds we strive to provide in our foals. When it came down to the line it was her mind and heart that propelled herself forward. Her entire face was raw at one point from bandage changes. If you have dealt with Elasticon you know what I am talking about. If you haven’t, imagine waxing the same area on your body, everyday. Still she loved us.

I am immensely grateful for Dr. Stacy Tawney at Pocahontas Veterinary Services. We simply would not have our golden girl here if it wasn’t for her. I rang her morning and night over this filly and she was always there to provide advice and reassurance. I cannot describe how she went above and beyond for us. Also, very thankful for Dr. Gottlieb at Va Tech. She loved Vesper as her own both times she was there and made sure Vesper had a good experience.

Vesper will still be joining Jennifer Macy in Alabama the middle of this month. I am thankful she trusted us and the process and was willing to wait for the outcome because she knows how incredibly special this filly is.

It will be one of the hardest goodbyes I’ll ever say but I am proud of our work and excited for her future in the barrel pen.
