2001 Perlino Dun AQHA/APHA Stallion - URGENT UPDATE 9/17/09

Due to extenuating circumstances which have now come to involve my health as well as my sanity (lol), I am forced to cease my specialty dilute breeding program. Without going into a great deal of detail, we live next door to a racist who has made it his life's mission to harass me because I have children of mixed race and he "doesn't want "N---- bastards living around him". Long and short, we are moving, but until we sell our place, we will be in temporary lodging which is not rural and I can not afford to board six horses. So, I am offering my prized stallion for sale as well as all but two of my TB broodmares.

WF Indian Bill is in this database, so his pedigree is available to all. It is outstanding and contains stellar foundation greats. Bill is 90.625% foundation as well. His conformation is flawless and he is so un-stud like in temperament. He is extremely quiet and gentle and very easy to handle. He is easy to work with in the breeding shed and does not savage his mares. Quite the opposite, he is very much a lover and a gentleman and gives his girls lots of vocal encouragements and kisses "before"!! <lol> He is well broke to ride western, but it's been a while since he's been under saddle as his function has been mainly for the ladies. After an almost 2-year search, I bought Bill in December of 2005 for $7500. Due to these extenuating circumstances, and to be comfortable knowing my precious boy is safe above all things, I would take half of that, so $3750. This is fire-sale value even in this depressed equine market. I am hopeful some of you may want to continue the dilute specialty breeding and will be able to use him in this way. Or, tune him up and get him going in a specific direction like cutting or reining. He is a perfect age to do that, having just turned 7 years old. He has free jumped 3 feet while lounging without a rider, so is very athletic as were many of his All Around Grand Champion ancestors.

Here is one photo, I have tons of others of both him and his get if anyone wants to see them. I also have photos of our pregnant mares if anyone is interested in those. 2 chestnut TB mares, both in foal to Bill. One is due at the end of next month on a late cover. The other one is not due til next April. If you click on the photo, it will take you to my Webshots album where there are 4 pages of other casual photos.

Bump. We are down to the stallion and one mare, having successfully placed everyone else. I would like the stallion to leave before the mare, however, as he will be a basket case all by himself. The mare is a chestnut TB, heavy in foal and due any day - asking $1800 for mare and foal. Foal can be registered with AQHA, APHA, AAHA and whichever color registry applies (IBHA or PHBA). Excellent kids' horse, safe for confident beginner and up. Up to date on everything, as is this stallion. We NEED to move, and sale of horses is only thing holding us up.

Can furnish tons of photos of mare upon request.

I did think about leasing him, yes, but it will be better for everybody if he is just sold outright. It has become abundantly clear to me that it is not safe for anyone to raise mixed-race children in a rural area. My animals have been killed and hurt, my children's lives threatened. So, we are selling our farm, dispersing our herd and moving back to town. Maybe when my youngest has turned 18 in 5 years, I will move myself back out to the boonies again, and do some rescue/rehab/rehome projects, or foster care.

Nother bump. Price reduced to $3500. We are down to Bill and one other mare, and could place the mare quickly, but am keeping her til Bill leaves. He won't like being all alone and is one of those that needs company.

I am really hoping someone will buy him and keep breeding him to TB mares - he makes the most outstanding appendix babies!! And colorful too!!

If I still had my Paints, I'd take both.

I sure hate to hear of the problems you've been having.
Warchief, you could always pick up a couple paints to go along with the group, LOL! **Hint hint** Laughing

I would like nothing better, but I paid my Life Membership in 1965. If you do the math, you'll see why I can't.

Bill is still for sale. Have had several deals that fell through, plus the fact that I have turned down offers from midwestern states. <sigh> I just need him to stay close enough for me to get mares to him later on without going across country!

Just bumping really......Bill is doing great. He recovered from the gunshot wound to the chest that the neighbor inflicted. Minimal scarring and the hair is growing in nicely.

Someone from a neighboring county is coming by this Saturday to meet him - she is looking for an addition to her stable, both for mares, and for drill team. It would sure be nice for Bill to have a real job! <lol>

Nother bump. Four deals have fallen through.....I'm beginning to think I should just keep him! <lol> He just had a new coggins pulled, vaccinations updated, feet done and wormed. He is READY to go. We also had a trainer out a few weeks ago to give him a test ride and see how he did after 3 years without riding. Boy was he good!!! NO attitude, no unwillingness. It was like he'd been riding all along.....wow, was I ever pleasantly surprised!

Buy the stallion and I will throw in his companion mare for free. She is a very well bred TB who comes with JC papers and AQHA papers. Lots of chrome, and she is super broke. Safe for advanced beginners and up. NO vices. Diplomatic Pleasure is 18, and a TANK. 16 hands, and about 1200 lbs. Very wide, stout girl, and an absolute joy to have around. Used to young girls fussing over her. She will stand for hours to be groomed, brushed, braided, etc. Nice, nice mare.

I would like these two gone before summer's end, so we can get moved before school starts. It's been way too long. PM me or call me at 321-289-6653 (cell).

JC and AQHA papers on the same horse?

Bondama · Posted: Thu Jul 30, 2009 4:58 am Post subject:

Yes. She is a thoroughbred who is reg. with JC as normal, but AQHA will register TB mares as broodmares so that the appendix progeny will also get AQHA registration availability. AQHA assigns them a reg. number with a (TB) suffix behind it.
