The Mares of Hidden Timber Ranch![]()
The TOBIANO Mares of Hidden Timber. Notice that on tobiano horses the white generally comes down from the back and the lines around the color are smooth, they can have a blaze, star, snip, strip or a solid dark head.
Trey Acres Lu Molly is our favorite broodmare. This picture was taken at the ripe old age of 16 just hours after foaling. Molly always gives us the most correct and friendliest foals you could ever hope for. Molly stands just under 33" and is extremely refined, she is AMHA and AMHR registered. Molly foaled a perfect little chestnut and white pinto colt with one blue eye, he's the friendliest little guy! Thinking we may breed Molly to "Pistol" for 2010. Hilliard Deidie, a 1999 chestnut and white tobiano mare. Annie stands 33 1/2 inches tall and is double registered with the AMHA/AMHR. Annie is the granddaughter of the great national champion stallion "Indian Snow". She has Boone's and Brewers breeding. Annie has been tested and found to be homozygous for the tobiano gene. Nothing but colorful foals to come from this pretty mare. After five beautiful foals in a row, Annie is taking this year off but will be bred back to T-Bone for 2010.
The rest of our mares are OVERO, of one type or another, we'll start with the SPLASH WHITE OVERO girls. Note that the white is not broken and that it comes up from underneath, usually right up the legs and into the body. Splash white horses usually have complete apron faces with blue eyes and only seem to occasionally have eyeliner. The splash white overos are LWO negative.
The following two mares are FRAME OVEROS. They have the typical markings of frame overo horses, the apron face, blue eyes, jagged outline to their markings. While Stinky is a well marked frame, Mime is minimally marked but has several odd overo markings on her front legs and a little splash behind her elbow. Another example of a frame overo is our stallion Streaker, he can be seen our stallions page. Frame overos are almost always positive for the LWO gene.
This is NXS Double Distinction. She is a 2000 model, palomino and white frame overo mare, with a gentle and friendly personality, just how we like them. "Stinky" is a granddaughter of Bond Darren Duffy and is registered with the AMHA and AMHR, she is LWO positive. This little beauty could get a job with Wal Mart as a greeter. She's always the first one to greet you at the gate. She is extremely correct.
Unicorner Mime in Rhyme is a darling little 2004 bay and white frame overo mare. Mime's breeding goes back to Rowdy. She is AMHR registered and stands at just 32" tall. She has one blue eye and one brown and has some of the most unusual markings on her front legs. Mime is a welcome addition to our overo breeding program. Mime was bred to Lazy Qs Misty Moonlight for 2009. Mime foaled a little replica of herself! A gorgeous bay overo filly that'll stay small.
The last few mares are SABINO OVERO. My sabino girls are minimally marked, except for Reba who displays much roaning, they all carry the typical irregular bald faces, leg white and roaning that is associated with the sabino genes. They all have the lacing of white at their withers. Like the splash whites, sabinos are LWO negative.
TVF's Country Star Reba is a beautiful strawberry roan sabino mare that stands just under 34" and is registered with the AMHR. She has dark eyes and the typical irregular facial marking so common with the sabinos. Reba is sweet and friendly and a darling horse to deal with. She will be bred to Streaker for a 2010 foal.
Silver, Gold and Diamonds Galore is the prettiest dark chestnut sabino mare with one blue eye, straight legs, nice neck and head. "Glory" sports four perfect stockings to her knees and a big bald face. She is AMHR registered and I get 35" when I measure her. Glory is a nice easy going, laid back mare that is friendly and easy to deal with. Glory will be bred to T-Bone for a 2010 foal.
