| Smokey D's Sterling Star Click on the name above for pedigree |
| Smokey, as we call her, has the proud distinction to be a granddaughter of Zane Grey, and to carry some of the oldest lines in the foxtrotter breed, with Shoshone and Diamond King right on her pedigree. She is brown papered. |
| Smokey came to me through the graciousness of Roger Rapplean. His wife Karin passed away last year, and when I came to look at some other horses, he told me Smokey was carrying a Danney's Legacy baby and offered to sell her to me. The last thing I needed was another mare, but this one was special, so she was loaded in the trailer and came home with me that day. I thought I had to be nuts to buy a 21 year old mare, but that thought soon went out the window. |
| After the quality filly she threw, I thought long and hard about breeding her back, but, she is 22 and deserves a rest. And, after seeing this filly, I don't think she could improve any on the next foal, so she will now join the retirement band. She is GREAT at accompanying maiden mares through their birth ordeal, and provides a steady influence on first time mares after they have foaled. |
