PEDIGREE

Vivid Black Leopard, 15.2 1/2 hands. We are truly excited about our newest addition to Sawyer Creek. Abby comes by her impeccable credentials honestly. Her sire, Live The Dream, is a 16.2 hand loud bay blanketed World Champion son of Dreamfinder. He is on the ApHC top five "Leading Sires of Halter Class Winners" list as well as the top five of the "Leading Sires of Point Earning Halter Horses." He has sired offspring earning over 1883 national points in halter as well as performance, with 41 ROM's, 3 Halter Superiors and 5 Bronze Medallions. Abby's vivid black leopard dam, Poco-A-Ke, was an incredibly versatile mare that amassed 152.5 points in an amazing 26 different events! But, it's one thing to have a great show mare, it's even more impressive when they reproduce greatness! Poco-A-Ke had 12 registered foals that earned 183.5 halter points, 27 performance points, 1 Superior at Halter and 9 World and National Championships and Reserve World and National Championships. Wow! Now...lest you think our Abby is all FLASH and no substance, consider her full sibling and solid colored chestnut older sister, Anonymous Dreams. Anonymous Dreams is a 2X National Champion and a 2X Reserve National Champion halter mare with a Superior at Halter title. She has earned 150.5 total national points in halter and performance. Not to be left out, her other point earning siblings including Cupids Dream and Stand A Grand with 13.5 halter points and 27 performance points. Abby is a prime example that a truly great horse can come in ANY color...but I think you will agree that her rare and unique black leopard coat pattern adds a finishing touch. To date, she has been a 100% color producer. Can her Sawyer Creek foals be destined for anything but greatness? We hope you'll stick around the next few years to see for yourself. Abby foaled a black or blue roan filly with a blanket by Maids Midnite Delite on 2/3/2010 and is confirmed in foal to Phenomenal for 2011.

Golden Palomino with a blanket. 16 hands. Daisy is our newest superstar and cover girl! Native Treasure is a wonderful pictorial equine coffee-table book filled with great images and thoughtful messages to inspire all horse lovers. The popularity of Rita K. Nicholson's Native Treasure cover photograph and it's use by Tioga Territory, LTD for official Appaloosa Horse Club merchandise has given Daisy the distinction of being one of the most recognizable Appaloosas in our breed. Daisy can be found on everything from the backs of our ApHC World Show jackets, to coffee mugs, cutting boards, playing cards, pillows and afghans with more merchandise to follow. Daisy is most deserving of her universal appeal. Her rich deep gold color, splashy blanket and excellent conformation make her a blonde bombshell. ApHC judges think so too! She has earned two ROM's with 73.5 national points in Open Halter and 46 Non-Pro halter points with additional points in Most Colorful. She has 22 Grand Championships and 14 Reserve Grand Championships that led to her Reserve High Point in the Nation award as a 3 Year Old Mare. She has garnished three Top Five ApHC National Show placings, 1 Top Ten and was twice Top Ten at the ApHC World Show. Her outstanding conformation comes directly from her impressive pedigree. She is by the now deceased leading halter stallion, Maids Dream. Maids Dream is the sire of 35 World Champions, 25 Reserve World Champions, 25 National Champions, 23 Res. National Champions, 4 National Hi Point Champions with total points in excess of 8,026. He produced 23 halter superiors, 112 ROM's and 45 Bronze Medallions. Daisy's dam, Slick N Sensuous, is a credentialed horse in her own right. She is a Superior Halter mare with 153 national points including 25 Grand and 22 Reserve Grand Championships. We believe that great horses come from great parents. We expect great things from Daisy and look forward to Daisy's future production at Sawyer Creek for many years to come.

PEDIGREE

Rose is a striking and exotic red roan mare that stands 15.3 hands and embodies the best of the old and the new in the Appaloosa breed. She has the conformation and balance so desirable in today's show ring (she's a World Champion) and a lineage that gave her a Foundation Pedigree Designation. This elegant mare is truly our kind of vision and she produces the kind of foals that will be yours as well. We think, other than her unusual color, she is the spitting image of her sire, ''Vision Maker,'' who has earned 175 national halter points, is a World Champion and a multiple World Champion and National Champion producing sire. Many Appaloosa enthusiasts consider Vision Maker an icon in the Appaloosa breed. Some of his more notable World Champion get are Twenty- Twenty Vision (5 time World & National Champion), Colored by Vision (644.5 pts!), Party Vision (141.5 pts), Vision Go Grand (88 pts), Visions Party Doll and CR Vision of Love. Rose's dam, ''Winsomeforme'', is a multiple World and National Champion produce producing daughter of ''The Conductor.'' Rose's maternal half-sister, ''An Awesome Doll'', is a 2x World Show halter winner and a 4x National Show halter winner with 130 national points. With genetics like this, how could Rose be anything BUT spectacular and World Champion material? But, winning the ApHC World Show in 2004 was only just the beginning of her fabulous show career. In addition, she has earned three R.O.M.'s - Open Halter, Non-Pro Halter, Youth Halter. She was a 2004 ''Year-End High Point Finalist'' AND a 2004 ''International Year-End High Point Finalist.'' She has additional points in FPD halter. After all of this, Rose garnished two top ten placings at the 2005 Nationals and was then retired to our broodmare band. Rose has the credibility and the quality to produce winners. Due to extensive showing, her breeding career began late but she has not disappointed us.. Her first is a colt just beginning his show career and is racking up national points in both the ApHC and ApHCC and is a ApHCC Reserve National Halter Champion. Now he is in performance training. Her second outstanding filly, is by a son of Maids Dream and just attended her first show garnishing national point honors. Her 2009 foal, a snow cap filly by Phenomenal, will be beginning her show career. All three foals are regular papered, consistently tall, balanced and well built with strong show careers ahead of them. Rose foaled a red roan filly with a frosty blanket by Phenomenal on 2/3/2010 and is confirmed in foal to Clear Vision for 2011. SOLD!

Chocolate chestnut with blanket and spots. 15.1 hands. Pretty, balanced and feminine, this young mare has what it takes to make future Sawyer Creek champions. Just look at her pedigree of consistent winners producing consistent winners! Her sire is Awe Striker, who has been in the top rankings of the leading halter point earning sires for the last three years. He is a Reserve National Champion and multiple medallion producer. Awe Striker's dam is the Grand National Champion mare Kelos Tru Delite who was a medallion winner, performance champion and multiple medallion producer. Awe Striker's sire, Go To Impress, was also a Grand National Champion and Res. World Champion. But wait! Let's not forget Nicki's impressive bottom side of her pedigree. Her dam, Dream Connection, was the result of breeding two multiple World and National Champions, Kelo Connection and Ms Daydreamin. ALL FOUR of Nicki's grandparents are World and/or National Champions! Not to mention there are 3 Hall of Fame horses close up in her pedigree. You would be hard pressed to find a mare with more consistent breeding credentials derived from both the best of ApHC and AQHA. In her own right, Nicki has just started her show career and with limited showing in 2007 earned a total of 23.5 halter points, her open halter ROM and the Year End Top Ten Finalist award. Look for this well bred and conformed mare to continue to make a significant contribution to our farm and the Appaloosa breed. Nicki gave us a colt by Phenomenal on 1/24/2010.
