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. 

Platinum Moon

Platinum's New Look

"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

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.
