Welll my first blog.... EVER!  Welcome to my other home on the web (Our webiste is www.bluelineranch.com)  Well I guess I should introduce you to the guys and tell you a bit about us.

ME:  Angie, the 36 year  old crazy woman (or so my step daughter says!) 

BERT:  The best husband a woman could ask for.  (He gave me a horse for my birthday the first year we were together!)  He has been accepted into the John Lyons Certification Program for 2008 WOOHOO!  He is the best man I know (Other than my dad of course!)

 KIDS (Oldest to youngest)

Andrew: Senior at Georgia Southern majoring in engineering

Greg: US Marine!  SEMPER FI

Heather: High school Senior  and an aspiring equestrianne

Brooke:  Sixth Grader, and the silly goose,

Tyler AKA "Tigger" cause he bounces so much!  He is in fourth grade.

The Horses:

The Studs:

Silvers Blue Print AKA Boober or Blue, 2005 AQHA Blue roan stallion.  Line bred Skipper W, Barrel prospect

Sol Ansosn Peppy AKA Senor Peppe, 2006 Bay Roan stallion, Grandson of Peppy San Badger and Leo Hancock Hayes, NFQHA Registered

The competition and riding horses:

Formulate AKA Duke, my semi-retired barrel horse.  An own son of Rare Form.

Duchess 1995 model Appaloosa mare.  Definitely the boss mare of the herd.  She rules the roost!

Ima Major King AKA Kinger, 1994 model minimal white sorrel APHA gelding.  Scared of his own shadow 3/4 of the time.

The Broodmares:

Make It So AKA Sophie: 2002 model JC registered TB mare, grey, our newest broodmare prospect.  Won $55,000 on the track before a fall dropped her out of hard training.  Now she gets to try her hand at making babies and if she stays this sound we may try her on the pattern.

River of Tears AKA River : Silver Grullo mare.  Solid foundation breeding with Robert Redford and Joe Hancocok and Blue Valentine in her lineage.  She has produced 1 buckskin filly by the palomino stallion Scouts Alexis and 1 red dun colt by the Palomino Sire Nifty Windcatcher.  Expectional producer.

Rips Bluebonnet AKA Bonnie:  Blue Roan Mare.  NFQHA registered.  A exceptionaly bred mare that we have super high hopes for.  We liked her son, Sol Ansons Peppy, so much that we bought her too!  This mare rocks.  Foundation lines to die for!  

And last but not least the ponies!

Jingles; B/W paint, a double stuffed oreo cookie.  Absolutely one of the BEST ponies around. 

Chief:  solid black, The SOFA!  He is a sweetheart that can be counted on to take care of the kids.  the consumate babysitter

Scout: The Kid.  Grey yearling colt with aspirations of greatness (or at least great pranks!)

Sarge:  AKA Studly!  Solid black, What a diva!!!!  He thinks he's a moviestar.  The smallest pony and the LARGEST attitude!

Hot Shot:  the big guy!  He is a brown and white paint and he likes to tote the kids around. 

Well that sums up my crew!!

 Have a great Christmas everyone and may the New Year bring blessings for everyone!
