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 has always been our favorite mare. These pictures were taken at the ripe old age of 16 just hours after foaling. Molly has always given 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. After 13 foals Molly is retiring from the broodmare band to live her life out as companion, babysitter and grandma :)

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 took 2009 off but has been bred back to T-Bone for 2010. Annie foaled a gorgeous red and white filly on May 15th, she has been bred back to T-Bone for 2011.

M D Little Doll is a 1998 homozygous black and white tobiano that stands 33.5" tall, she is AMHA and AMHR registered. This mare is as sweet as she is beautiful! She has stolen my heart in no time at all. She is pictured here with her 08 filly, China. In 2009 Patches foaled an eye popping bay and white tovero filly. This cross has been incredible!! Patches had a gorgeous little jet black and white toby filly, she can be seen on the 2010 foals page. Patches is once again in foal to T-Bone for 2011.

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.
C Spots Rare Jewel. Jewel is 33" and the most stunning red bay, she is AMHA, AMHR and PtHA registered. We are so excited about this addition to our small brood mare band. Jewel foaled a pretty bay and white, blue eyed colt on May 11 by Streaker, see him on the 2010 foals page. She has been bred back to Streaker for 2011.

UPDATE: Indy has been hardshipped into the AMHA!
After purchasing Cherry and seeing how beautiful she is in person, I went back and bought her sister, SunRae's Indian Lace. Indy is also an AMHR 1998 sorrel splash white overo that stands just 32" tall. This little girl has a disposition second to none, she is a real sweetheart.

Hidden Timbers Splash of Ebony is a 2005 black splash white overo mare with gorgeous blue eyes set in a spectacularly beautiful face. She stands 33" tall and is sweet and docile. Ebby is AMHR only for the moment, come five years old I hope to hardship into the AMHA. She is that nice! This year we are breeding Ebony back to Streaker. She foaled a darling sorrel filly with socks, star, strip, snip and a bright blue eye. This is another fantastic cross that will be repeated!

RHA Private Mercedes is a gorgeous 2007 black and white splash overo mare that is super correct with a pretty head and a nice long neck. Mercedes is very sweet and friendly, comes right to you looking for atttention. She has a pedigree that is as stunning as she is. Her paternal grandsire is Lazy N Red Boy and her maternal grandsire is the famous "Hawk". Don't know that I have ever seen a horse as symmetrically marked from side to side as she is. Mercedes has been bred to Streaker for her first foal in 2011.

East Acres Grullo Babe is an AMHR registered silver chocolate splash white overo. Babe has two blue eyes and four high white stockings, not to mention a football size white splash on her stomach. Very pretty mare with excellent conformation, nice long neck and very straight legs. Babe wasn't handled much but loves treats and is coming around quickly. Turns out Babe was bred for 2010 and delivered a nice buckskin filly on April 10th. We've bred Babe to T-Bone for 2011.

The following mare is a FRAME OVEROS. 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.
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 has been bred for 2010 to Pistol. Mime foaled an incredible little bay and white sabino filly on May 7th, I believe we will be keeping this pretty filly for ourselves!

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.
Lilliput Acres Miraculous Alex is registered with both the AMHA and AMHR. Alex is a stunning 33.5" chocolate colored sabino overo mare with four white stockings and that beautiful bald face. Alex has one of the most gorgeous extended trots I have ever seen on a mini. Alex gave us the most incredible sabino filly on April 20th, 2010. I am going to be retaining her filly this year for our future!! She is also the dam of my current PtHA show horse, Hidden Timbers Ghostly Miracle. Alex has been bred back to Streaker for 2011.

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 foaled a stunning white filly with bright blue eyes on April 27th, sired by T-Bone. Glory is bred back to T-Bone for 2011.
