Most of you know that I have a horse named Paris but many of you know nothing about her. She is a 16h Appendix quarter horse out of a quarter horse mare Flashy Addition and by a gorgeous stallion named Pipe peddler.
Pipe Peddler is a 1984 Dk Bay TB stallion who stands 17 hands. He was a winner on the race track of over $25,000, having raced at such notable tracks as Keeneland and Churchill Downs. Pipe's size , movement and outstanding disposition are qualities he consistently passes on to his foals. Which he did. Paris successfully carried me all the way to Level 3 AA rated shows. We won many ribbons and she taught me so much in the five years that I have owned her. I'd say she is pretty special to me and I love her to bits.
After a series of injuries I realized Paris may not be able to take me where I wanted or needed to go with my riding so I thought about breeding her. Sure, I had a lot of pros and cons, and I thought it could be a bad idea. Once Paris stretched one of the major tendons in her leg I decided it was time to breed her.
After a lot of thought and prayer I picked, with help, a stallion that I thought would be a good match for Paris. His name is On Line and he is absolutely gorgeous. ( see the photo above ) I had watched him at a local Grand Prix in 2007 and I knew I had to find out more about the horse. I couldn't draw my eyes off of him. Once I did more research into his bloodlines I found that his father was the famous Concorde and he had Furioso, and many other famous stallions, in his blood. He is an amazing creature.
In early 2008 I bred Paris to On Line making her pregnant with Ava and now her journey begins...
