Our Christmas Story...We bred Kelsie last year on December 26, 2003, and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to have a Christmas baby next year?." Our wish came true! This year, the week before Christmas, was very busy for us. Kelsie kept showing strong signs of delivering the entire week so we cancelled attending several events to be close to her if she needed us. We had been on board "The Polar Express" this week with our granddaughter, Shelby, and how special it was to "Hear the Christmas Bell" and share that experience 'to believe' with her. In all the hustle, bustle, and family get-togethers we kept thinking of names for our expected foal. We had many on the list but decided on Happy Holidays and we'd call the baby Holly, if it was a girl. Family had gone and presents were opened so Bob and I had just settled down for a much needed rest. At 2:30 a.m. Christmas Morning we "Heard Our Christmas Bell" in the barn. As we awoke and watched on the barn camera we saw that it was time for Kelsie to have her baby. I called my good friend, Dayle, so she could log on to our camera and observe this special Christmas birth. We quickly got dressed and headed out to the barn in the 7 degrees temperatures to be near the stall in case Kelsie needed us. She was doing fine on her own. So, on Christmas morning at 3:12 a.m., Kelsie presented us with this beautiful spotted girl with a big dark star on her forehead. The Bethlehem Star was right here in our barn this Christmas morning. We had heard on the news and read in the papers that people were saying we should say "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas" this year. How sad.......we named our new baby, Hallelujah- "Halle" so..Merry Christmas to you all from Bob, Sandy and Halle this year.

Looking for that perfect Stocking Stuffer? Santa is sure to like delivering this special bundle. Ginger Snap is as cute as they come. She has such a stocky little body and those cute straight drafty legs and her bite is perfect. Her coat is so full and fluffy and such a pretty brown that it reminded us of Ginger Snaps. Of course, that could be because we were drinking coffee and stuffing our face with ginger snaps when her mom, Cindi Lu, went in to labor. Cindi was a maiden so we were watching closely for her first foal. She did great and knew exactly what she needed to do for this baby. Everything was textbook delivery and Ginger was up and walking within minutes of being born. She has such an adorable personality and snuggles all the time. We have made the decision to offer Ginger and her mom, Cindi-Lu, for sale as a package. It is rare that we sell any of our brood jennets but our herd is just a bit too large right now. So, this is a great opportunity to get a brood jennet with her new (girl) foal at her side before Christmas. What an opportunity. Santa will have a big surprise for someone!

As Racer's little new born jack entered this world it was apparent he was going to be a "track favorite". He had a strong will to push ahead and the energy to go for the win. No matter how you "place your bet" he is going to be the crowd pleaser, Win, Place, or Show. He did it all the night he was born. A good friend of ours was present during Tracker's birth and was pulling for him to emerge with great anticipation. Betsie Jo, his dam, was a maiden, and her birthing skills were not the greatest. We are going to give her "deep breathing and pushing classes" for her next birth. :O) She finally caught on to the process and helped by giving some final hard pushes after about 30 minutes and "Tracker" came out with a big gasp of relief. Then, it was off to the races for this little guy. He was up and nursing in 14 minutes and our visiting spectator went behind the barn to change jeans, shirt, and whatever else was necessary. All is wonderful at Wit's End and "Tracker" will be the crowd pleaser to watch for in the show ring or with your herd. He has that much sought after compact body, drafty, perfect bite, legs, and just an itty-bitty squirt. We have not measured him yet (17 hours old) but he does not even come up to my knees and I'm short. I watched him on our barn cam all night and he raced around his stall like he was in training for the Triple Crown. Tracker is for sale! Contact us for more information!

Meet our deep, dark, rich, full-bodied Hotty Chocolate. CoCo and Racer certainly did themselves proud on this little gal. Hotty has it all...stocky, rich dark color, perfect bite, straight legs, and a bubbling personality. What a gene pool in this "steamy cup" of rich, dark elegance. Just minutes after Hotty was born she was snuggling up to us as if to say.." I'm here to warm your heart like a good cup of hot chocolate. Taste me, feel me, smell me. Ummmm, ummmm, GOOD."

Dixie puts a smile on your face the minute you see her. That rich dark color catches your eye and we think we see a very faint cross on her back. She bounces around in such a playful manner that she puts a smile right on your face. It's been raining so much since she was born that we spent the first week playing with her in her stall and in the hallway of the barn. After a few minutes of playing with her she has you "Whistlin' Dixie". She is such a happy little girl with a bubbly personality. Dixie will be a great addition to someone's herd as she has the potential to produce a dark or spotted foal if bred to the right herd sire. Her spotted herd sire, Short Spot Luigi, is a gorgeous dark brown and white jack. Dixie is for sale. Visit our 'for sale' page for more information!

Ebony had her first foal and boy are we tickled with this little fellow. The Prez is breathtakingly gorgeous. He is so very tiny yet has such a drafty bone structure. Wide chest, straight legs, perfect bite, unique color, fantastic pedigree, and gregarious personality. He appears to be a very dark sorrel, some may call it russet, but whatever it is it is striking. His no light point nose is so cute as it is lighter than his body coat. He darts around and his favorite trick at two days old is to put both front feet in his mother's feed bowl and his two back feet on the outside and then potty all around her bowl. I guess he figures if he can't eat it yet he'll try messing it up for his mother. He nurses with gusto and has embraced his new life with the same. We adore this little fellow and are enjoying his new born antics. He puts a smile on your face the minute you lay eyes on him. He's for sale!

Introducing our newest foal, Dino-Might, is a real pleasure. This little guy is "exploding" with personality from the big white star on his forehead to the tip of his tail. He was born, Sat. August 21st and did not lay down until Sunday August 22nd. He was so curious and had to look at everything for hours. He kept hopping and jumping around and when he got tired he would fall asleep standing up and wobble back and forth until he'd wake himself up and start exploring his stall. His white throat-latch goes from ear to ear which is unusual and gives him such an elegant look. When we go in his stall he pins those ears back and comes running for his hugs, kisses, and butt rubs. Amazing how they have US trained at such an early age. Trying to get pictures of him was a real challenge. If he was not tucked up under his mother he was trying to get in my lap. The first picture taking session was over 200 shots and I only had about 10 that were worth sending to my picky web mistress! Dino has a perfect bite, straight legs, beautiful color, great conformation and a gorgeous head, and a much sought after pedigree. He will be such an asset to someone's herd as a junior herd sire and a great pal until he matures. What a bundle of dyna-mite!!!!! Dino Might is for sale!

It is a rare occurrence when one observes the phenomenon of foxfire. This is exactly why we chose this name for our new "black cherry" foal. We continue to marvel at his deep rich color and his elegant conformation. He embodies all the qualities of his extended pedigree and the progeny of 'The Fireman', 'Rearview', and 'My World' will be carried on in his future offspring.

We were anxiously awaiting his arrival as his mother had "white milk" for 39 1/2 hours. We knew he was exceptional the minute he was born as his dark sorrel color was very evident even though he was still wet. My good friend, Dayle Haworth, was here for the big event and she decided to use a hair dryer on him so we could see his true color right away. So, at just 15 minutes old, Foxfire had his first "trip" to the Hair Salon. Wet or dry he was still that deep, dark sought after color one looks for in a herd sire. Drafty, tiny, straight, exceptional color, and a winning personality all in one package! Foxfire will be a great asset to any herd and will steal your heart the minute you lay eyes on him. He looks up with those big brown eyes with red eyelashes, wags his tail, and follows us everywhere we go. He has not been in the house....yet!!!!

This little guy is so perfect in every way that we have decided to keep him as our junior herd sire. Our current jacks, Racer and Cimmaron, have the same sire so little Foxfire will give us an out cross jack for our breeding program. It was a hard decision between Foxfire and Gipper as they are equally as nice and have the same pedigree. Our decision was then based on Foxfire's unique dark cherry color. Since Gipper is the same color as one of our current jacks, Cimmaron, we have decided that we will offer him for sale to some lucky farm. Watch for future offspring from Foxfire.

A SPECIAL TRIBUTE..."Win One for the Gipper". This handsome dark red sorrel jack was born during the time when the nation was paying tribute to the loss of a great man. It is our pleasure to give the name 'Gipper' to him without hesitation. He has been such a joy from the moment he hit the ground. His little left ear was bent down and going across his forehead so we said that was his way of saluting his namesake. Within 24 hours the saluting ear was completely straight but I will always cherish that first picture of him "saluting". Gipper was up and nursing within 14 minutes after arriving at Wit's End and has entertained us hourly with his perpetual motion antics. I know his mom must think someone needs to remove his "energizing batteries" so she can have some peace and quiet. He plays so many games with her as he runs circles around her so fast he appears to be a blur to those watching. He runs and hides under her belly and goodness knows in which direction he will emerge but it is usually out between her back legs. I've heard the expression "shop 'til you drop"..Gipper has given us another expression.. "Play 'til you drop!" After a short nap a complete recovery is made and a new burst of energy for another round of romp and stomp. Personality, charm, conformation, wide chest, perfect bite, great color, fantastic pedigree, are many of his attributes.

We had 3 more pregnant jennets to foal in April and May and have been anxiously awaiting their births. This precious little girl is our third foal of the 2004 season and a real HEART-STOPPER! After all our watching and waiting she arrived on May 1st at 12:30 am. We had dropped off to sleep for about 45 minutes. We woke up and looked at the monitor and saw what appeared to be a big piece of hay in the middle of the stall..then the "big piece of hay" suddenly had four wobbling legs and wasn't hay at all. We ran to the barn and there she was brand spanking new and I exclaimed, "Hallelujah" and bent down to surround her with all the love I could give her and sang her my special donkey song "YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE", which she will hear from me everyday (as do all my donkeys). I didn't need any instruments playing me music as she was the music in my heart. AHH-CAPPELLA is as beautiful as any composition ever heard. She appears to be black but could change to a very dark brown/black with a slightly visible cross. She is drafty in her conformation (balance), has a perfect bite, and has those cute straight legs. Her passion for people is evident as she snuggles, cuddles, and wags that tail just like a little puppy. She even gives kisses. (Wayne :O) )

Music in our barn is music in our hearts.

Welcome.AHH-CAPPELLA!!!!!!

Thanks to my good friend ,Julia Vaughn, for the name suggestion and the wonderful graphics she does for all our foals!

What a package!!!! This little fellow has it all. As we watched his birth we could see he was going to be something very special. Our mouths stayed wide open in disbelief as our eyes were filled with tears of joy. He was truly the work of a master artist. Class, flash, heavy dark spots, tyger spotting, dark eye liner, perfect bite, drafty conformation, straight legs, beautiful blaze face and……ADORABLE PERSONALITY! We cannot keep our hands off of him so imprinting has been a real joy. Naming such a perfect spotted jack was a challenge. Our webmaster, Dayle Haworth, told me she had the perfect name for him and she was right….TYGER HEART to go with his unique “tyger spots”. Thanks Dayle! Tyger is a must to see and he will certainly be an asset to any herd or show ring. “Ribbons Galore” was one name we thought would suit him :O)

Q-Tee Pie is all her name implies. We started calling her that when she was born and somehow it just suited her to a "tee". We really wanted to name her after her sire, Windcrest Sweet William, and thought we'd call her Wilhelmina but somehow it didn't fit her personality. She is the cutest puff of pink hair you have ever seen. It's almost as if she needs a string on the top of her head to pull her around like a little pull toy. She is full of herself and prances and dances around as if to say, "Aren't I cute?" What a set of legs and she is quite drafty for her small statue. This little girl was born at 10:05 and up nursing by 10:14 so she sure was hungry. When her mom lays down to get some rest she hops back and forth over her trying to get her up so she can nurse. What a joy to watch as she explores every nook and cranny. Her color is that of her mom but her conformation is more like her dad, Willie. This is Willie's first foal and he did himself proud.
