Pache was my first long-distance (from Texas) internet buy. I had put an ad on Lil Beginnings for a small mare. She was a little bit more than I wanted to pay, but I fell in love with her pintaloosa color. Of course, when she was delivered in January in her fluffy winter coat, Laura’s first words to me were, “She’s a brown pinto!” Her spots aren’t very visible in the winter, but she is a beauty when she sheds out in the summer.

Now, I was looking more at pedigree than color. I decided to try to find a mare, under 32”, with Orion Light Vant Huttenest bloodlines. Tina is an Orion granddaughter, with her sire being the champion Brewers Orion Mystic. We hauled Tina from Salem, Oregon to our home in northern Illinois (by way of Montana and a week of boarding her while we were at camp) in the back of our minivan. She seemed to enjoy watching the traffic go by and was a perfect traveler as long as we were moving.

Solid Sorrel
Born 04/08/2002, purchased 02/06/2005
I knew that I shouldn’t be looking for another mare until after foals were born...and sold. However, I’m constantly watching the saleboard and found Feather. Although she is a solid-sorrel mare, she has many foundation appaloosas in her pedigree.

Sandrins Double M Halee Bopp 31"
AMHA (A 86194) AMHR (100163A)
Solid Black/Brown with Blaze
Born 04/23/1997, purchased 05/28/2006
I had a hard time finding a black mare within my price range and within easy driving distance. Once I found one, I found another, and ended up buying both Halee and Dyna. I guess that's where the phrase "Take two, they're small." comes from!

AMHA (A 126756) AMHR (217827A)
Solid Black
Born 05/20/2001, purchased 05/28/2006
Although I really didn't want a black mare with no white, I liked Dyna's looks, pedigree and the package deal I got with the above mare.
