NEWS IN COLOR GENETICS

"It is the high white pattern level bay and black Appaloosas that you must look to for colour strength, and to the white homozygous Appaloosas for continuity, in order to breed generation after generation of colourful Appaloosas."....Quote from Sheila Archer's research APPALOOSA COLOUR and PATTERN TRANSMISSION.

2004 Team Penning at Canadian Nationals - 3 High Noon offspring comprised the Champion Team !!! See the Show Highlights Page....

Note: at the 2003 Canadian National Appaloosa Show, of the 6 horses on the Champion & Reserve Champion Teams in Team Penning ... 3 were daughters of High Noon & all were just 3 years old, at their first National Show ! With 12 Teams in competition, including seasoned horses & pro-trainers from the USA & Canada, & "waspy cattle" for everyone - it was quite an event ! Thanks to our various team mates, Oreste, Lynn & Gary Shinkewski and Ken & Laurie Anderson. It was also the first National Show for the Andersons and the 3rd time they had ever competed in Team Penning with these young High Noon daughters ! Pictured left to right, Laurie on Fancy Pants, Ken on Noon Highlight, Roger on High N Dry, and Vicki on their "dad" - High Noon.

And read an excellent Poem about Team Penning written by Beth Roberts after her fisrt Team Penning experience in December 2004 on the QUOTES Page.....

"YOR High N Dry"

Our digital camera is not too "high tech" so it doesn't capture a clear picture when there is a lot of speed happening. A decent broadside picture of this mare is on the "Broodmare" page.

Below YOR High N Dry circles the cow as a 3 year old in Reined Cowhorse Competition.

This mare is the ApHCC National 2004 High Point Cattle Events Horse.

There's more to being a "cowhorse" than meets the eye ! This is "YOR Noon Special" nursing a black Angus cow. This High Noon filly would chase, herd and cut the cows all day - but also nurse them at will. She really is "special". See her pedigree and pictures of her dam on the Broodmare page.

In 2003, she gave us a fantastic line bred filly - YOR Fine Line - pictured on the Foal Showcase page."YOR Noon Special" is also the dam of YOR Show Special on that page, and the gelding "Norm" exported to the UK.

Congratulations to "YOR Spot Doctor" 2002 colt by High Noon on his recent success at Halter in England ! His first Show, he stood 2nd out of 15 horses in all-breed competition ! Well Done !

Click HERE to go to "Our Heritage - Sketchbook Project" with accounts from the Nez Perce peoples who escaped into Canada in October, 1877 with Appaloosa Horses, following the surrender of Chief Joseph. You return to Reining Appaloosa by clicking your "Back" button from there. And click HERE to open another account with Northwest Mounted Police observations of a group of Nez Perce with some 300 head of horses arriving at Sitting Bull's camp in Canada. "Some groups of escapees likely congregated into larger bodies before crossing into Canada. One North-West Mounted Police official reported seeing a party of "fifty men, forty women, and a large number of children, besides about three hundred horses" come in to Sitting Bull's camp."
