Welcome to the farm. Boy, my
friends have really been after me lately to get this page updated. After all
some of the babies on this page are already "mothers" to other babies.......How
did I get so far behind? I tried to take each of the mares that we have on the
farm and have given you a brief update on what they look like and what they are
doing right now. (I'm going to try to keep it pretty vague on purpose so the
information isn't outdated by the time I get it posted.) The mares on this page
are purebred Arabians, Part-Arabians, and even some non-Arabs, but each is
special for some reason. Enjoy getting to know our mares and if you have any
questions or would be interested in one of these lovely mares, ask about
her..........I just might be persuaded to sell.......you never know.

Rain (Key Sera Sera x
Arcadian Adriana) 1999 Pinto, Part-Arab,
NSH Mare

Rainy is probably one of the
flashiest daughters of Key. She took the show ring by storm earning over 100
points in halter and over 100 points in color. It's hard to believe after seeing
her in the show ring that she would turn out to be such a good "pasture" horse.
She loves her herd and is definitely one of the leaders, but that certainly
doesn't stop her from being the very first to see any people who come to visit.
She is right there. Rainy is a gentle riding horse and could probably do just as
well in the show ring under saddle. She has also proven herself to be an
outstanding producer and mother. Look for information about her palomino pinto
filly, Rain N Gold.

Midnight
Seranade (Key Sera Sera x
Falcon's Misty Dawn) 2002 Pinto, NSH
Mare
 
Seranade is our homozygous pinto mare with
really unique markings. People laugh at her markings, asking if she is part
appaloosa. I wish I could say that she is black, but actually she is that real
dark black/bay or brown color. Seranade is really tall and has that beautiful
Key neck. She is actually 75% Saddlebred and only 25% Arabian. Seranade has
never been shown yet, but is broke to saddle and moves really well. Don't I wish
that I was younger........she looks like a super dressage prospect.

MTN Blond
Bomshell (Ru Saad
Malik x Whims Gold) 1994 Pinto Part-Arab Mare

MTN Blond
Bomshell or Blondie as she is known is the newest addition to Whispering Hill
Farm and oh, what a nice addition she is. Blondie is as sweet as she is
beautiful. Blondie is tall and very correct. On her dam's side, Blondie is the
granddaughter of the famous Quarterhorse, Whimpressive (N/N). She was shown as a
youngster in halter and then went on to become a super producer of quality
part-Arabs. We have her bred to My Alybi for a 2010 foal and of course, are
hoping for palomino spots!!! But, our real dream is to breed her to Aly Be
Dazzled and hopefully get a gorgeous double dilute, homozygous pinto out of that
cross..........only time will tell!!! In the meantime, Blondie is lots of
fun to own and sure is fun to look at with her beautiful color and fancy way of
moving.
KSM Musc Be
Klassi (*Fairview
Klassique x Muscaffona) 2000 Purebred Arabian
Mare

Every once in a while, a
very special horse comes into your life. I have been lucky to have had a few of
those special ones and Klassi is certainly one. Klassi is sired by a National
Champion halter stallion, Fairview Klassique and is out of the champion
producing daughter of the National Champion stallion, *Muscat. Everyone who
comes to visit is taken with her beauty. She is right there soaking up all that
attention. We finally were able to get Klassi out to the show ring in 2006 and
she didn't disappoint us. She went Champion mare and First place in Amateur to
Handle at the Silver Spurs show .Klassi, again, did outstandingly well in halter
in 2007. Hopefully, she'll be back in the ring again!!! What
fun!!!!

Key Kommitment (Key Sera Sera x
Algwynara) 1998 Pinto, Part-Arab,
NSH Mare

KC, that cute little filly that I had on the old Photo page,
is all grown up and has proven herself as both a show horse and an outstanding
broodmare. KC has always been very special to me. She is the last daughter of my
favorite mare, Algwynara. When I look at KC's face and eyes, I can still see her
mother. KC is a tall and flashy mare, with a really loving disposition (isn't
that so typical of Key babies?). She has quite a show record in halter and was
shown both Pinto and Class A Arab. KC earned her Register of Merit in 2000. We
planned to show KC under saddle, but unfortunately, she got put on the "back
burner" when Twister got sick. KC is a great mother and her foals are every bit
as typey as she is.
Non-Arabian
Mares
We have three other mares here at the farm
that aren't of Arabian blood, but that should cross well with our stallions and
will offer some unique foals. We had the opportunity to acquire these mares this
year and can't wait to see how they will contribute to our breeding program here
at Whispering Hill.
1) Sierras Dazzlin Pearl 2003 Perlino Tobiano Mare APHA#
772,909

Sierra is a big and beautiful
registered Paint mare. She is a double dilute perlino tobiano. That means that
all her foals will be either palomino, buckskin, or smokey black and there is a
50/50 chance that each could be a pinto. Won't those be some striking
Part-Arabians???? Sierra is a very gentle mare and fits in really well at
the farm. We had her broke to saddle and she is all ready to be a trail horse as
well as brood mare.
2) Hootin
Holler 2004 Perlino Tobiano Pinto Mare
PtHA # 132840
Hootie is another
double dilute pinto mare that we have added to our broodmare band. She is a nice
tall mare with a smooth body and excellent legs. I'm not real knowledgeable on
Quarter Horse lines, but she does go back to Colonel Freckles and Boson Mac
which were both beautiful horses. Hootie has been broke to ride and now, we will
be anxiously awaiting her beautiful babies.
3) Cookie 2001 Cremello Grade
Mare

After all the time that I
spent looking for a double dilute mare, I could hardly believe that I found one
about 10 miles down the road from our house. Not only is Cookie a gentle and
kind horse, but she is well broke to ride and quite unflappable. How exciting to
us to have another beautiful double dilute mare to breed to our stallions. We
are looking forward to many contributions from Cookie over the years.
