1988 Blue Roan Stallion AQHA 2740628
Homozygous Black and Homozygous Roan

Zach became a member of our family late in the summer of 2005.  He was a working horse in cattle feed yards when younger and was used to move, sort, and gather cattle. Many of his foals were also used at the same feed yard, as well as rodeo and roping competitions.  He had a hard life before I got him and now he is retired, well fed, and happy.  He is Very sweet, and he sure loves attention.  He is a 100% ROAN Producer.  He is Homozygous for Black and Roan! His foals are always roan, have nice heads, great feet and legs, and are athletic.  Many have become excellent roping horses.  They have speed and are athletic and cowie.  Zach has BLUE VALENTINE (12.5%) on his papers and also goes back to Plenty Coup, Ambrose, Jaguar, Hard Twist (25%), Smarty Cat, Little Meow, Cowboy, Yellow Jacket x2, Joe Hancock x4 (9.37%), Midnight Jr, and many other Foundation horses.  His pedigree is further down on this page.   He is approx. 98% Foundation.   This stallion has been tested, and is Confirmed Negative for the EVA virus.  He has also been vaccinated for EVA and is safe to breed and his semen is safe to ship.

Zach Blue is registered with AQHA and FQHR being approx. 98% Foundation.
He is also listed with APHA.



DNA Results are...
Red Factor = EE (Homozygous for Black, no red base genes, only Black)
Agouti = aa (negative for Agouti) He is a True Blue Roan.
And we already knew he was Homozygous for ROAN!

What does all this mean?...  Well, all his foals will be Black based, meaning the base color will be either Black, Black/Bay, Bay, Buckskin, Grullo, or Black pointed Dun, depending on the mare he is bred to...
And, ALL will be ROANS!  When bred to Gray mares, the foal will start of roan, and may or turn gray with age, or may stay roan.

More pictures taken in September, 2010, at 22 yrs old... after a bath... and still Wet...

More photos of Zach Blue taken Aug. 2010.
He is still sound and travels very smooth.  He can even still do fancy 'Roll-Backs' while playing!

Customer's Foals

Filly in FRANCE!
This fancy filly was conceived here, and then one of my favorite mares, Blue Girl King,
was purchased by Valérie VAUDEY-RATIER and exported to France where this filly was born in 2010.
 
Quote from buyer:
"Blue girl and her beautiful filly are doing very well."

Pictured her as a yearling in France.

This fancy 2010 Colt is out of Moxies Classy Jax, a Sorrel mare owned by Terese Woodring in Montana.

Quote from owner:
"I wanted to let you know that I couldn't possibly be happier with the outcome.  He's drop dead gorgeous and has a personality that just won't quit.  He seems to think that we were all put on earth to pet and scratch him.  I have started him at halter and he's really willing and quick there.  I just can't wait until he's old enough to ride!  I'm sending you a couple of pictures for your brag board for your stallion with all our thanks!"

Here are a couple photos of a 2010 Blue Roan filly owned by Baru Spiller in Texas.
She thinks this filly will be a Reiner, Working Cow Horse, or a Barrel Horse.
(pictured here at 5 days old)



Here is an updated picture of one of Zach's 2008 Blue Roan fillies.

Quote from Buyer:
Hi there:  I thought that maybe you would enjoy seeing a picture of a filly, bought from you last year.
We absolutely love her, great temperament and full of athletic ability.  2008 Zach Blue x San Trouble Missy.
   All the best to you
