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! 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.
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 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 foaled a perfect little replica of herself in 2009! A gorgeous bay overo filly that'll stay small. Mime has been bred for 2010 to Pistol.
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 is 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 has been bred to T-Bone for a 2010 foal.
