Another new addition to our homestead.....

Posted on Tuesday, May 6, 2008 at 07:51

This is the newest addition to our homestead.  His registered name is Go Max Shooting Star .  We will call him shooter.  I liked the name pistol but I got overode.  My girls have watched him for sale for about 3 or 4 months.  We were not interested in buying another horse but you know how that goes.  They just wear you down.LOL  I must admit he is so beautiful.  We will go to pick him up on May 19th.  Or better yet Dh and the girls will go.  I hate pulling a horse trailer.  It makes me a nervous wreck.  He lives on the Coast of Ms.  So it will end up being about a 4 -5 hour drive pulling trailer. 

He comes from excellent stock and hopefully will make a good 4-H project for my middle DD.  I think he will show well.   

Lord willing, we will get the keys to our new house on Friday the 16th and he will be able to go straight to the new house on Monday the 19th.

GO Max Shooting Star

April 28, 2007 BS APHA Smoky Black Paint Colt

out of GO Maximum Overdrive and Jenny's Lucky Star

This colt has been tested with UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory for coat color verification.  He is a Smoky Black-he received one copy of the cream gene.  His results are: Ee, aa, N/Cr.  He has very unusual coloring.  This colt can produce buckskins, palominos, or smoky blacks when bred to a mare of a base color.  He is very smart, willing, and has a great disposition!  He leads and backs easily, stands tied, trailers, and lifts all 4 legs very willingly.  He has been clipper trimmed on his body and had his feet trimmed by the farrier and did great.  Also takes shots and worming without problem.  This guy will make someone a really great horse. 

He's georgeous!

You mentioned Shooter's breeding and coloration stuff, but what BREED is he? He looks tall and lean, and athletic- will your DD show him? Do you think your DD will have the heart to sell him (even tho' he's a 4H project, you know how that is!)

I wish I had the energy for a horse like this... he's georgeous!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, no we won't be selling him!!!
He's mother is a Quarter Horse and His father is a Tobiano Paint. He is registered as a paint. APHA
Blessings,
