Our second mare highlight is Ivers Catalena Annie

Annie was born on the LXHR in 2003 to our mare Muriel's Trouble Gal and by Catalena Son Evans.

Annie has raised 13 foals for us in her lifetime and has another one cooking for 2025.

She has produced:
1. 2007 Sorrel c**t by ML Hotshots Pl***oy (sold on app)
2. 2008 Palomino c**t by Freckles Shining Ace (sold on app)
3. 2009 Gray c**t by Mr Pepto 401 - LXH Peptos Beau

Annie's sire, Catalena Son Evans, was a gorgeous blue roan stallion out of the Tveit's breeding program (photo of him in comments). He was shown in 2003. His sire, Catalena Boy, earned 1 AQHA performance point, $12k in NCHA earnings, was the 1994 SDQHA High Point Open and Amateur Reiner, and earned his NCHA certificate in ability. Catalena Boy's sire, Doc Olena, speaks for himself.

Annie's dam, Muriel's Trouble Gal, was line bred Parker's Trouble and Bert bred. Parker's Trouble had 19 starts, 5, 2, 2, with earnings of $4609 by 1952 grading him as AAA. He then went on to prove himself on the ranch and gained his place in the AQHA Hall of Fame in 2016. Bert proved himself as a producing stallion and was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame in 2007.

Annie has excellent bloodlines that have complimented our stallions Cord and Ace over the years. We are continually impressed by the athleticism and trainability of Annie's foals.

This year I’ve put an emphasis on trying to take at least one nice photo of each mare, especially some of our older broodmares.

My first highlight is EMS Freckles Jodee ‘Jodee’

Jodee is sired by Cee Doc Freckles and out of Grand River Lil

She is a granddaughter of Doc Clabber, great granddaughter of Colonel Freckles, and on the bottom side has Yellow Jack, King, and Sugar Bars right off her papers.

Jodee was born in 2000 making her 24 years old in this photo.

Jodee was purchased at the Bismarck Livestock as a weanling and started as a riding horse for Papa Daymon before becoming what we call the “herd matriarch”. Jodee has protected us when she feels a stallion would get too close to us in the pasture to walking beside me as a little kid to go see all of the foals in the pasture. Jodee also maintains her lead mare position to this day.

On top of all of this, she produced 10 amazing foals for us. The primary highlight is our stallion Freckles Shining Ace.

Jodee is starting to show her age now but everyone who meets her has been quick to point out how good of shape she’s in at her age as she still lives in the pasture and receives no special treatments yet. She’s also still sound and runs like the wind.

A good majority of the foals produced here at LXHR can trace Jodee back in their lineage.

Not the best photo but we delivered LXH One Time Sienna and LXH Shiners Remi to their new home today. We are so thankful for the Baker family for purchasing a pair of fillies from us and we look forward to watching them grow up.

Grandma Lois and I made a fun trip to the Rhode Family in Halliday yesterday to visit LXH Shiners Bodie and LXH One Time Sierra. They are just yearlings and boy have they grown. We also dropped of their 2024 foal, LXH Shiners Leia and brought Drifts Rolling Ellie with for some groundwork since we were making the trip anyways.

Thank you Rhode Girls; Kia Rohde and Kaylee for a great time 💗🙏🏼

What a success story with young LXH Shining Ryder. Ryder was sold off our place as a yearling stud c**t. He was then consigned with Danielle with Seventy Two Equine this fall. Danielle texted Grandma Lois and I about Ryder coming to her place and we instantly knew who to contact. A man, who had been in touch with us who owns Ryder’s 17 year old brother and wanted the exact replica of him. The stars aligned and Ryder is heading to his new home later this week. 🎉❤️🙏🏼

We are so thankful to have played a role in helping Ryder find a new home 🏡

When you purchase a Lazy X Heart Ranch horse, you get help with those horses for life

Your legacy will forever live on in the AQHA world

Our condolences to the Aaron Family 💔🙏🏼

A little broodmare highlight:

Bonnie is sired by Freckles Shining Ace and out of our LXH Boon Bars Bunny by Pick Play.

Bonnie was born with slight contracted tendons and then when she was weaned tried to jump a seven bar panel and got so stuck that we had to cut her out leaving her with tremendous injuries to her legs.

Now at 3 years old, she’s nearly 15.2 and bred for her first foal in the spring by Shiver N Shine Two. The foal will be buckskin, palomino, or smoky black and 8 panel negative.
