11/17/13 Queen for a day

11/17/13  Today's post is all about the Queens!  There are 3290 registered saddlebreds with Queen as some part of their name.  Queen, Queen's Genius of Belemar and Queen of Glory were BHF's, but none had pictures.  Queen was foaled in 1852 and dam of Latham's Denmark, King William and Diamond Denmark.  Queen's Genius of Belemar was foaled in 1942, by King's Genius and dam of CH Denmark's Daydream.  Queen of Glory foaled in 1950 and was by Heart of Glory by Green Valley Fox.

Now for the Queen's with their pictures, we have 14 lovely mares dating from the 1890's through the 1980's.

Is that Kim Skipton riding her?

More than Queen

What a nice picture showing the styles of that era;

docked tail, side saddle and the lovely riding hat.

Peavine's Genius' Queen

foaled in 1944, sired by Peavine's Genius,

she has been mentioned in the 10/19/13 and 7/28/13 posts.

She was shown as Genius Queen.

Queen of Bourbon

foaled in 1929, she was sired by Bourbon King and

out of none other than Kate Haines (BHF). (see 7/13/13 post)

Not sure her name is completely appropriate since her dam was totally Denmark breeding.

Queen of Strutter

foaled in 1947, she was sired by Strutter by Stonewall King.

 

Queen of the Denmarks

foaled in 1905, she was sired by Mark Dillard who traced to Washington Denmark.

Her dam was by Chester Dare, so she really was totally Denmark breeding.

Sunny Ridge Queen

foaled in 1939, she was sired by American Ace.

 

CH Windsor Queen

foaled in 1953, she was sired by Royal Star of Windsor by Stonewall King.

With a name like that, you knew she'd have Stonewall King breeding.
