2/13/1998 Black Tobiano Pinto Mare
Krissy (we changed her barn name, she is just too sweet of a mare to be called a Prissy),
is a very big, tested double homozygous black tobiano pinto mare.
When we bought her several years ago, she was measured by her previous owners at 15.3H.
She has an incredible disposition with lots of substance and muscle.
She is an incredibly patient and tolerant mare with
ponying the young colts and has even had them jump on her neck
while she was doing so without reacting. Krissy will ride in a western or english saddle. She wears a snaffle bit and is used to a direct rein. When ridden in the past, her trot is very smooth and one person mentioned that it was like riding a big sofa. Definately a "ride a buck" contender. We have yet to see her spook at anything, including trains going by the road when she is being ridden. She can have short powerful bursts of speed, but will tire easily as she is out of shape from having a foal every year for the past 6 years or more. She tends to settle into a nice slow jog or walk when ridden for an extended time. She is not light in the mouth, so is more tolerant of inaccurate cues by her rider. She is a very wide backed large mare that could easily carry a 250lb 6ft person. She is rideable and we usually put our beginner guest riders on her as not much excites her, but we consider her value is in being a broodmare.
We have found her foals to be beautifully marked, very tall, easy to work with and are extremely people friendly.
Most of Krissy's foals seem to come out looking a lot like the sire.
We think her cross with our Black Arabian
stallion, Black Legacy, is producing some wonderful halter and sport horses.
Her 2007 B/W Pinto Arabian filly, Black Chaytan CTA, was shown at the PtHA World Show at 4 months old and became a
Res. World Champion Tobiano Color Mare (All Ages) - Pleasure and Saddletypes
Res. World Champion Pleasure Type Mare (All Ages) - Amateur Owner
TT World Champion Pleasure Type Mares 2 and under - Open
Pretty nice for a 4 month old baby competing in her first show against much older show experienced horses!
