🤩 Look at Teller’s glow up!
🗓️He is now almost 6 months old
His precious human (Waylan Logan) that he adores has done an outstanding job coming over and working with him until weaning.
🐴Teller is leading, loading on and backing off the trailer, picking up his feet and going on walks with his human.

So excited for this Whiskey Shiner c**t and his very bright future.

🎤 Just a friendly reminder that humane euthanasia is not cruel, death can be merciful.

🏡 Rehoming an animal that has a severe, difficult or an abundance of health issues can be cruel.
Choose wisely and don’t feel guilty for choosing mercy.

👋 Hey Everyone

I have decided to start making a series of informational videos to help best prepare mare and stallion owners for the upcoming coming breeding season.
🎥 These videos will answer the commonly asked questions we receive every season and will also cover extra topics that you may find interesting and important.
🙏🏻A massive THANK YOU to Jill Moseley of JM Quarter Horses and Glen Moman for taking me under their wings and continually teaching, guiding and supporting me so I/we may best help all of you. I could not do this without them.

‼️SOLD‼️
🥃Whiskeys Story Teller 📖

This c**t is going to be a ropers dream.

💸x,### below mid 4’s
Payments available until weaning (5 months of age) or scheduled pick up.

🎂Birthday 4/16/2024
📏He should mature to 14.3
🍫He will be thicker than a king size snicker and has the hoof size to support it (both parents are muscular, stout and have great 🦶 feet)
🍔Will be an easy keeper and will not need the extras to maintain the bod.
🧡He is sorrel in color
📝registration is pending
5 panel negative by heritage

🏇Teller is quick footed and he knows how to use that bodacious b***y to take off fast and stop hard.
He is intelligent like his parents and easy to be around. He is brave and tends to hang out with the babysitter horses more than his momma.

He and his momma have been on high quality alfalfa/timothy hay and pasture and on deworming routines.

❗️Now… if you know me then you know I am extremely picky and honest about my horses. I don’t like surprises or secrets and will lay it all out. I believe that honesty is the best policy.

Cons:
1) His Mama was very protective of him when he was first born and she regretted that a few days later. He is happy to be around you and wants in on all the ☕️ but he is still learning to accept touch. He gets better every day and will even run up to say hello and let you scratch his b***y but we’re still working on touching and letting him overall.

2) He was born with contracted tendons in the front. He has mostly outgrown this but occasionally will stand a touch over at the knee. Vet, farrier and specialist feel he will outgrow this fully and mostly has.

He is 💲accordingly and will sell with a papers, signed transfer and coggins in state.

🌎Out of state will sell with papers, signed transfer, coggins and health certificate for shipping purposes.

📖Due to the high demand I have opened up Whiskeys books to take on a few more mares and figured I would make a post on here.

Whiskey Shiner is standing until the end of July and his 2024 fee is $700 including booking and chute fee.
🐴🐴🐴Multiple mare is $550 per.
Live Foal Gurantee 🐴
He is the perfect choice for maidens and hard to settle mares. He also crosses beautifully on race bred mares.

✍️Tons of references available and you’ve likely seen or competed against some of his babes.

Shhhh 🤫
I’m hiding from my brother

**t

🎙️Let’s talk, Mama

🐴You see that foal with that mare?
That’s not her baby
See the mare wayyyy out in the back field?
That is his Mama.

👀You see, we can take away a lot by observing nature. The mare the c**t is with is one of my retired broodmares. In fact, there are two out in that pasture of Mama’s.
🤔Wanna know why?
Because they help babysit so the Mama’s can have a much needed break.
And let me tell ya, those mares take full advantage of their babysitters and the c**ts LOVE them and seize every opportunity they can to spend time with them.
They often leave their mothers to go play and go check and see what the ole’ mares are up to.

It’s such a beautiful sight to see.
It keeps my retired mares young, vital, and healthy; all while also helping keep the broodmares healthy mentally and physically as well.

📖Moral of the story is this…
Even animals know that a mother sometimes needs a break and help with their babies.
Don’t feel bad for wanting/needing to take the time to refresh yourself and hit the restart button.
It also shows how important a healthy community and family are.

Happy Tuesday, Y’all
and have a blessed day ✝️👶

📣”I want your kids horse!”

Now that I have your attention - let’s talk about it.

🦻I hear the above more often than not when it comes to Landens precious mare, Pork.
She is an absolutely amazing horse and I 1000% understand why parents want one just like her.

However…. She is the horse that most turn down when on they’re the their search because she would NOT pass a PPE and is borderline high maintenance. (Adequan, Osteomax and a great farrier for the win)

🤗The reality is that to find a kids horse that is young, has experience, and is sound has extremely low odds and we need to begin accepting that in society. Most kids horses, especially show horses, have had and need some major miles put on them before they truly are “kid safe”.

Now I’m not saying go buy a seasoned/lame horse without a PPE. That PPE will help you decide if the maintenance required is going to be something you can afford and want to deal with; but the good thing is that we now have so much knowledge and treatments for the various causes of lameness that it’s very doable to care for.

📖So I guess the moral of the story is…
If you want a horse like what my kiddo has then be prepared for it to fail a PPE and to invest a bit into some maintenance. I promise you it will be so worth it.

😃I feel my kids smile speaks for itself in regard to this and I can assure you that our precious Ms. Porkylnn will be living out her days with her kid that she loves so much.

P.s. I feel like I owe this horse the world for what she does for my son.
TAKE THAT CHANCE.

Ms. Story gave us a gorgeous and very correct Whiskey Shiner c**t 🥰

🤔Still trying to figure out a barn name for the little fella. He’s very friendly and not afraid of much and has the perfect amount of c**t sass.

🤩 For those who remember Buttermilk 🤩

She blessed Amber Duckett with a gorgeous buckskin paint c**t by One And Only Asset today!!
Welcome to the world little fella! You’re destined for greatness!

🤩 This awesome Whiskey Shiner c**t is up for consideration due to no fault of his own.

✨Unfortunately because he was originally considered sold, I do not have any professional photos of videos of him per my usual so I will share what I have and can get of him.

🐴 Finnnigan is by far the sweetest c**t you will meet and is a people “person”. He so badly wants his person to love and to give his all to. He would be a great addition to anyone’s program with his breeding, temperament and conformation.
He has been handled and isn’t afraid of anything and will always be the first to greet you and ask for attention. He LOVES kids, too. HE WILL BE AN EASY KEEPER.

Both sire and dam are on site for your viewing pleasure and pedigree is in photos.

He should mature to 14.3 and is 5 panel negative by heritage.

Both sire and dam (retired due to injury) are very athletic and talented as well as very level-headed and easy to train/handle. They are not hot horses at all but when you ask them to go to work they give 110% for their people. I feel he will be the exact same way.

Feed: Dam was on Pro Elite Growth, free choice alfalfa and pasture before he was born and after and he’s been on the same diet. Once fall hit he and his dam have been placed on PE Growth, Grass Advantage, and PE Omega. His nutritionally needs have always been met in every way.

❗️Horsey Friends❗️

What are your tips and tricks for a horse that has heaves?

If the case is severe enough is euthanasia unrealistic?

Share your thoughts below 👇

📣 I’ve said it once, twice, and now for a third time. Hopefully those in the back can hear me this time 📣

❗️THERE 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 NO 👏🏻 REASON 👏🏻 TO 👏🏻 STARVE 👏🏻 OR NEGLECT 👏🏻 YOUR HORSE❗️

The horse community is small and more than willing to help you and your animals out!

😢I’ve been made aware of yet another severe neglect and starvation case and it is simply not okay when so many of us are willing to help, judgement free. REACH OUT! We will gladly help you before it is too late and there is no turning back!

🐴 To those taking in the horses and helping as much as possible. GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU!

🥰 When you get super cute photos of one of your foals enjoying personal time with his new owner in his new home.
So happy for you Miranda Armstrong! You and Clyde (now called Tate) have a wonderful future ahead of you full of adventure and fun!

🙏🏻 God has been so good to bless me with amazing buyers every single year. I’m so thankful for all of you!

🤩🤩This stunning Whiskey Shiner filly is visiting so her Mama can have a date with her Daddy. 🤠Stay tuned, she has a photo shoot with the amazing Katie Rae Chambers of KRC Photography tomorrow! ❗️This filly is available❗️ #WhiskeyShiner #2023foalingseason #2023filly #2023breedingseason #ranchriding #cowhorse #ropinghorse

🐴 Clyde was very curious about what Kat from The Farrier Godmother Farrier Service was doing to his mother. He cautiously watched almost the entire time Kat worked on Cali’s tootsies.

When the scratches are hitting on a different level 😂 We’ve decided on the barn name of Clyde (which I’ve found to be quite fitting)😁 He’s a lover with a bit of sass and spice. #whiskeyshiner #2023foalingseason #mrjessperry #coronacaliente #shiningspark #paddysirishwhiskey #strawflyspecial

🥳🎉Our first stud colt of the season is here! Momma wanted to have him outside and she did a beautiful job at that. Both are doing well and Ms. Cali is very proud of her little man. She was asking for all the loving when I went out there and then had to show him off. Whiskey Shiner is a proud father this morning and the entire farm is celebrating our new arrival! Cali is sired by Corona Caliente and is out of a Mr Jess Perry mare. This colt is SOLD

📖 A true testament to Whiskey Shiner and his character. 🌧️ He was selected on this wet and muddy day to be used to teach how to properly trim horse hooves. He was more than happy to stand there while people were being educated. Thank you The Farrier Godmother Farrier Service for being so willing to share her knowledge and answer many questions! You’re the best! #studmuffin #goodboy #aqha #aqhastallion #paddysirishwhiskey #shiningspark
