Mad Desire at 15 years old.
I always laugh about how paranoid I was that he was going to one day have a huge cresty stallion neck like so many other halter stallions seemed to fight, yet here we are.

It has been said the 𝙢𝒐𝙨𝒕 𝒊𝙣𝒇𝙡𝒖𝙚𝒏𝙩𝒊𝙖𝒍 𝒔𝙞𝒓𝙚𝒔 of the industry today, whether ApHC, AQHA, or APHA, have higher occurrences of linebreeding to 𝑨𝙌𝑯𝘼 𝙝𝒂𝙡𝒍 𝒐𝙛 𝙛𝒂𝙢𝒆 ancestors. These horses are what you would call horses who "stamp their foals" conformationally, mentally, and emotionally.

𝑴𝙖𝒅 𝑫𝙚𝒔𝙞𝒓𝙚'𝙨 𝙘𝒖𝙧𝒓𝙚𝒏𝙩 𝙨𝒕𝙖𝒕𝙨 𝙤𝒇 𝑨𝙌𝑯𝘼 𝙃𝑶𝙁 𝙖𝒏𝙘𝒆𝙨𝒕𝙤𝒓𝙨 𝙧𝒆𝙖𝒅𝙨 𝙖𝒔 𝒔𝙪𝒄𝙝:
21 different AQHA Hall of Fame horses, occurring 770 times within 20 generations. He's linebred to 17 different ancestors within the first 8 generations.
In addition, he has:
331 crosses to Peter McCue
203 crosses to Traveler
30 crosses to Joe Reed
12 crosses to King
14 crosses to Leo
11 crosses to Oklahoma Star
71 crosses to Old Sorrel
5 crosses to Skipper W
6 crosses to Sugar Bars
30 crosses to Three Bars
Grand Dam full sister to ApHC Dreamfinder

If preserving pedigree and type is something you are interested in, Mad Desire should be at the top of your list. . With 10 foal crops under his belt, out of an array of different mares, it is safe to say that Mad Desire stamps his foals not only with quality conformation, but exceptional minds.

What type of trim/ shoeing schedule is your horse on?

Today Bugsy is getting his toes done. We have kept him on a very strict 6 1/2 week cycle which has allowed us to make amazing progress on his feet, keeping him healthy and happy!

Thank you to all the people who continue to exhibit both Mad Desire foals and grand foals at these prestigious events.

13/03/2024

Every time I clean Bugsys stall I always stop and admire him. Even with his mid day snack in his forelock he’s still just as stunning as ever.

Really, do we have to say anything more about these amazing Mad Desire babies? Just like their dad, they love their peolple!!

21/02/2024

As soon as Aly smooches Bugsy, he turns into a total puddle of mush, every single time.

10/02/2024

You know what Bugsy loves more than his mares?
Food. 🍔

Did you know that horses can begin to deal with ulcers and other digestive issues within 4 hours of an empty stomach? That is why we strive to feed Bugsy the highest quality hay, and supplements while keeping his stomach happy by giving him
The opportunity to have access to hay nearly 24/7.

Now we just need to find the perfect slow feeder for Bugsy, do you have a favorite?

24/01/2024

A day of a lot of FIRSTS......Bugsys first outing with us since world was the Color Caper as a 2 year old the first weekend of January. He was still quite lean, and in the midst of a growing spurt. (something that babies tend to do!).. It was also the first time that I was showing as a Non-Pro instead of a youth. To say I was both nervous and excited was an understatement. The pressure sure felt like it was on as I lead this c**t into the show pen. I had hand picked this c**t myself from THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS programs in the Nation; La Pavarana Show Horses. Had I taken a gamble on this different and unique c**t? would the judges see what I saw? He was fresh off from winning the world, was a completely different pedigree and look than we normally see at our west coast shows, and of course was a young stallion. Much to my relief Bugsy was great, won his class... and honestly, I can't remember exactly, but I believe he went Grand under some of the judges. This show put us on cloud nine, and was the catalyst to set the entire projection of this young stallions life.

23/01/2024

This may have been one of my favorite times with Bugsy. We had just brought him home from World after purchasing him from Marco Bertazzoni. He was the richest, darkest color of bay possible, and covered in tons of tiny white spots. The best part though was honestly his very vibrant mottled skin. it was EVERYWHERE ~ even inside his ears. At this point we had begun to pull weight off of him to re-start for his 2 year old year. I laugh now looking back, but we were SO FEARFUL that his neck was going to get big and cresty as he grew older. Joke was on us, as realistically I don't even know if sweating Bugsy was ever even needed. As anyone can tell a "fat neck" has never been an issue for him. We could never imagine what this great stallion would accomplish in his career

22/01/2024

Where it all began... The criteria was "a pretty face" the rest was up to me. This was the guidelines we received from my aunt when we made our trip back to world. There was only one person that I would go to and that was my friend Marco Bertazzoni. He was in the prime of his showing career, owned easily one of the most winningest programs in the nation, and had a vision and passion that was unmatched. When I asked what he had for sale at the world, Bugsy was our guy. He was so impeccably balanced, so unique , and SO MODERN!.... While the modern look had already been popular in the AQHA world for some time, it was JUST getting to the ApHC pen and Bugsy was hands down one of the first to embody it.

CALLING ALL MAD DESIRE BABIES!!! We would love to hear from your owners! Drop a photo below to show us what your Mad Desire foals are now up too!

~Pictured, Beamer, who was a Reserve World Champion 2yo gelding, went on to complete two years of training with a local Reining & Working cow horse trainer. Shown successfully in the Ranch Riding, and is now a mountain trail horse in Oregon for a teenage boy!! We're so happy for the life that Beamer has gotten to lead.

20/01/2024

Have you had the joys of breaking out a Mad Desire foal? Because we sure have! Each and every Mad Desire baby we have had the pleasure of starting are kind, trusting and sensible- truly a trainers dream!! (Or amateur, like myself)

⭐️ if you need a horse who can last you a lifetime, and be there for all moments of your life- consider Mad Desire. He will sire you winners in and outside the show pen.

20/01/2024

My Childhood Desire , a colored gelding did quite a bit of winning in his short time in the show pen.

20/01/2024

It's our favorite time of the year!! Time for some beautiful foals to start hitting the ground! Check out this absolutely stunning Mad Desire c**t, loved and owned by Jessica Hance.

A wise man once told me that with a halter stallion you get that ONE amazing profile photo , and then you never change it for the rest of that stallions career.
I replied "but I have nothing to hide"

So without further ado, here are profiles of Bugsy through the years.
January at 2
November at 3
Summer at 8
Autumn at 15
Soon, we will be prepping him for his Photoshoot as a 16 (!!!!) year old stallion. I cannot wait to share these photos with everyone!

17/01/2024

One thing we have learned over the years is Mad Desire just might be the KING of FORM TO FUNCTION! His foals are so perfectly balanced that they can go from winning at the highest levels in halter, and turn around and be well rounded, athletic riding partners! Don't miss out on breeding for a horse who can last you a lifetime.

A lil evening turn out for Mr Bugsy

Happy Father’s Day to our favorite boy Bugsy! Comment below 👇 with a photo of your Bugsy baby!!!

When we brought home Bugsy as a yearling, I always feared that we would battle with a “big stallion neck” as he got older …. Isn’t that every halter horse owners fear? But, at 15 years old, in nice weight (so be it, not halter horse weight) this is the neck we have. The best part? He puts it on his foals. Now booking mares for the 2023 season!

Bugsy just chilling in the round pen before his trim last night. Those are ”his mares” as far as he is concerned off in the distance, always keeps a watchful eye on them. Hate to break it to him that the one pretty grey is carrying an Andalusian foal 🤦🏼‍♀️

One of the best headed horses in the business! We love this boy.

Spa day for Bugsy.

Share a laugh with us. Every time Bugsy is asked to come in,he always makes sure that Rudy stands in the “right spot”. Nearly 10 Years since he was in the show pen, and he’s not forgotten. (And we promise his tail was chewed off by his neighbor 🤦‍♀️)

It sure was a beautiful sunset this evening!
