A few more horses starting with "P:

10/26/13  Not many horses left to picture that I haven't already covered, but here they are. 

Perfect Cover by Caramac
He has four white legs, a big white face, two blue eyes,
and the nicest temperament you could imagine. 

Precious Fancy by CH Fancy Brass
Here she is at age 18 out playing in her field.

Prince Starheart by Starheart Stonewall out of Chocolate Parfait (BHF)
If he had lived beyond age five, he may have been a top sire.

Princess Eugenia (BHF) by Chester Peavine
Shown here as a show mare, but best remembered
as the dam of CH King's Genius.


CH Primrose Path
She was a full sister to CH Wing Commander.
See more about her in the 3/1/13 post about her sire & dam,
CH Anacacho Shamrock & Flirtation Walk (BHF)

Private Contract
Yet another full sibling to CH Wing Commander,
Private Contract was a noted sire.


And since it is close to Halloween, I thought I'd search for some Pumpkin or Halloween horses.  I wasn't expecting much, but I did find CH Halloween, a pinto gelding by Chubasco and out of a Mr. Magic Man mare.  Sorry no pictures, but I bet he was flashy!  Halloween Star foaled on 10/31/39, so she was a real Halloween baby and a great granddaughter of Bourbon King.  From the 1930's thru 2008, there have been 18 various forms of Pumpkin, from Pumpkin Patch, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Festival, Pretty Pumpkin, Great Pumpkin to Pumpkin Peavine.  Pumpkin Peavine would have fit into last week's post!

Found a couple more good ones while looking for a picture of The Power of One showing as a western pleasure horse.  I never found him, but look at these two.

"P" is for Peavine?

Moving on through my alphabet system, I've arrived at the P's. With only a couple of exceptions, I've already mentioned the horses in my file, so I tried to think of a prominent horse starting with the letter P.  Peavine came to mind, but I have no picture of Peavine 85, the grand sire of Rex Peavine.  So instead I searched for any pictures of any horses with Peavine in their name.   Well known or obscure, here's what I found.  
 

Aileen Peavine
foaled in 1932 and sired by Moreland Peavine

Beau Peavine
foaled  in 1929, sired by Jean Val Jean by Rex Peavine
See more about him in my post from 1/29/13 
 
Beau's Benita Peavine of Undulata
foaled in 1950, sired by Beau Gallant, she was the dam
of CH Giddy-Up-Go and Reata's Really Really (BHF)

Rex Peavine was his twice great grandsire

Flashy Bourbon Peavine
foaled in 1951, both his sire & dam traced back to Rex Peavine.
He sired CH Ninotchka and CH The Carnival Queen

Indiana Peavine
foaled in 1955, sired by Indiana Ace and out of a Beau Peavine mare.
He sired CH Glenview's Warlock, CH Lily Merrill and CH Spellcaster.  Wasn't he gorgeous?
His sire was exported to South Africa, so he is the only line tracing back to
Indiana Ace from an American stallion.

Lee Peavine
foaled in 1926 by All Peavine by Rex Peavine

Moon Glow Peavine
foaled in 1947, he traced back to Rex Peavine on both sire & dam side.

Oklahoma  Peavine

See the post on, what else, Oklahoma.
The name makes me want to break into song!
 
Peavine Beaverkettle
foaled in 1954, he traced back to Rex Peavine thru his sire's dam and
his 2nd dam's sire.  He stood in the Ohio/Michigan area and was bred
twice to Cacho Kate, dam of one of my horses.
 
Peavine's Genius' Queen
foaled in 1944, she traced to Rex Peavine thru her sire's dam.
She was shown as Genius Queen, see more about her in the

Edna May's King and Stonewall King.

Cloudy Skies

10/12/13   This past week, I lost a good friend and the saddle horse industry lost a great supporter.  He had a wonderful sense of humor and I swear he knew  some interesting tidbit about all the old timers and their horses.  When I dropped off old magazines purchased on Ebay, he would always return them with sticky notes galore providing fun facts and details that you'd never expect.  We lost a ton of Saddlebred knowledge last week, and I will miss him greatly.
