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 (I'm going to try to keep it pretty vague on purpose so the information isn't outdated by the time I get it posted.)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.

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. ![]()
Made To Order
(Society's Hot Spot x Algwynara) 1992 Pinto, Part-Arab, NSH Mare ![]() MTO was the very first pinto filly born on our farm and needless to say I was ecstatic with her. After probably 10 years of trying to get a pinto................I finally had one and what a beauty. We started showing MTO at 3 months of age at the 4-H Production level and kept right on from there. MTO has a Register of Merit in Halter, English, and Color. We've hauled her all over and as far away as Louisville, Kentucky. Without a doubt, I spoiled her to death and because of that, she will probably be with us forever as I doubt that anyone would want to put up with her "prissy, I'm special" personality. And although, we've more than once said that she is "strange".........MTO has turned out to be an outstanding broodmare. She is loving and caring to her foals and oh so patient with them and they, in turn, are really beautiful and smart, really quick learners who love to work. Yes, we do have the stories to go with this girl; ask us about them sometime and you will be surprised. ![]()

Wildfire
(Algwyn x Margolot) 1984 Purebred Arabian Mare ![]() It's hard to believe that Tubby is getting this old. She is the last daughter of our first Arab stallion, Algwyn. Tubby has been worth her weight in gold (and she weighs quite a bit). We originally bred Tubby and then sold her as a weanling. We were so lucky to get her back in 1996 as I really wanted to continue her bloodlines. I already knew the value of Algwyn's lines and Tubby's dam, Margolot traced back to *Lotnik, one of General Patton's WW II prizes from Poland. There aren't too many offspring of that "superhorse". After many beautiful colts and solid fillies, I was finally blessed with a purebred filly by My Alybi in 2006. We will be keeping this filly to replace Tubby when she can no longer have those special foals. I'm so thankful for her filly, Reddi Made Alybi. ![]()

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. Key Sera Sera | Key Get | My Alybi | Photos | For Sale | Links | Home
