Josie Girl Josie is a
nifty gal! She's a nice big gal, about 15+ hands tall, and is a really nice choice for
producing Drum Horse foals (which is why we
imported her!). She has a great body, and is just a beautiful
mare. She has nice feather and bone, and a great mane.
Her mane and tail were thoroughly mangled when we got her, but they are
growing back thick and beautiful. She will have a long, silky
white mane, and a tail that drags the ground when it grows back. We will be breeding Josie to our shire stallion Ideal, to produce a drum horse foal for 2003. Josie carries several characteristics of being homozygous, so may well be homozygous. If she is, she will produce a pinto colored foal every time bred, no matter what the sire of the foal is. This is a HUGE bonus when considering breeding drum horse babies! Josie is for sale with her nice colt for $17,000 if bred back to our shire stallion, $16,000 if you want her open to breed to the stallion of your choice. Colt available for sale at weaning time (if not sold with Josie before then) for $7000. Josie alone after weaning $13,000. Josie's foal is a nice, big, healthy, nicely marked foal born on May 26, 2002. His name is Wesbury, and he's very well built. He's SO sweet, just adores people. He is a joy to be around! Delivery of Josie and her colt to states east of Colorado might be available in early July, 2002. Jeff will be driving from Colorado to NY on his trip to pick up recently imported horses at that time.
Josie and her new colt "Westbury", AKA Wes. His name comes from the Westbury White horse, which is a white chalk horse carved in the mountainside near Westbury, England. Jeff and I drove past this chalk horse on our last trip over, and then when we got home, noticed that Josie's colt had the outline of a white horse on his right side as well!
