Bulls Breezin Spirit is a colored Appaloosa stallion, royally bred for performance.
Known as "Herbie" on the farm, he is a stylish, talented mover, possessing the
willing attitude, the easily trainable mind of a winner-and the proven pedigree of
a performance champion.
Herbie's pedigree is packed, top and bottom, with proven Champions and
producers of Champions, in Reining and other performance events. The highly
sought after & renowned performance genetics of AQHA, NRHA, NCHA, and ApHC
Champions can be found paternally and maternally in this young stallion's
impressive pedigree.
Bull's Breezin Spirit is sired by the NRHA Champion, Spirit of Pine, (AQHA) a son
of the renowned reining sire, Great Pine who's name can be found in the
pedigrees of many past NRHA greats, and those still competing today. Herbie's
dam, Baby's Whim, (ApHC) is sired by Sure Slide (AQHA) formerly well known in
the Northeast as a sire of NRHA money earners. Herbie's first maternal dam is a
Medallion Winner in Reining, and was sired by Sweetwater's Multiple World &
National Champion performance sire, and Superior Halter Stallion, Breezin' Bull,
ApHC.
Although bred for the reining pen, Herbie missed his SB & Futurity years due to a
freak injury sustained as a yearling, leaving only skin for a tail with nothing left
to tie a tail to. After 4 years of care, surprisingly most of his tail has grown back!
Although this did not affect his soundness, it was not possible to cosmetically
correct his tail in a manner that would have allowed him to be shown at his
best, and with dignity.

of the hard to find attributes sought by NRHA enthusiasts and competitors, and her sire, DZ

Colored Appaloosa Mare, (see block above, for information & photos of Zana)
This beautiful, powerful, superbly bred mare is a well proven on the NCHA and ApHC
circuits, and is an NCHA Certificate of Ability earner-no small feat for a colored
Appaloosa mare! But, once this mare starts to move, there's no doubt about her being
the real deal.
Zana's remarkable roster of powerful attributes, combined with her pedigree and
ApHC colored status was just the right combination we'd been looking for to breed to
a top NRHA Champion, although all we sought in a baby out of Zana was met by her
first filly, "Phyllis" a 2009 bay filly who defines elegance, with the power and moves
that are cause for a double take!
Although Zana's been out of the show pen for a few years growing babies, she's kept
herself well, is sound and seems as though she could certainly head back into
competition, possibly as a Ladies or Youth mount.

Presently, the Appaloosa breed is poised to once again be in a position of prominence among current and potential owners of horses from other breeds which share many
genetic attributes and features similar to those of the Appaloosa, including Quarter horses, Paints, and some other American Color breeds. One attribute these breeds don't
share, since it is exclusive to the Appaloosa, is the distinctive, seemingly OOAK coat patterns unique to the Appaloosa since this color results from genes other breeds do not
possess.
Please help keep the Appaloosa breed and its Halter Horse industry alive and thriving! Over time, the dedicated movers and shakers of the Halter Industry worked
relentlessly to continue developing and perfecting techniques used to master the art of breeding, fitting, creating and consistently presenting seemingly flawless halter
horses at show, after show. Through these decades of hard work, the "Modern" Halter Horse emerged as the preferred halter standard, while the Halter Industry also grew and
evolved. Unfortunately, as expressed by many Appaloosa owners, as the Modern Halter Horse progressed, with Corporate Contributions plentiful, many people felt that those
at the top had become unapproachable, and they'd been left out. This situation is certainly not limited to Halter. Currently, similarities also plague many breed show and
specialty disciplines. However, before forever loosing the Appaloosa enthusiasts and owners who are the very core of our breed, we want to welcome all Appaloosa
enthusiasts back- and into the mix! The Appaloosa Horse Club is very interested in the opinions and concerns of its overall membership, and in working with the membership
to bring in new members, breed and show more Appaloosas each year, while helping all who wish to own &/or show Appaloosas feel welcome!
The time is now, with so much having changed. Previously, the Halter Industry technically began at the breeding farm and continued through the In-Gate, as Halter was more
of a corporate oriented segment of the equine industry prior to the recent economic upheaval. However, today due in part to an upside down economy, that is no longer as
much the case. More mare owners are choosing to breed their mares via the use of cooled, shipped semen, also tending to foal their mares at "home." Where are they? In
our travels to open and AHSA pointed shows, we typically saw more Appaloosas competing, than were at the Appaloosa shows in our Region, which was one of the toughest
in the nation.
Last year, it was our pleasure to present The Secret Pardon, with his many modern halter attributes, and HYPP N/N status, as a new option for today's progressive halter
breeders. "Diesel" produced 100% color with his first crop. (2011) Now, at the age of 3, "Diesel" has matured into a halter stallion who is all and more than we could have
hoped for. We wish to thank all of our fellow Appaloosa Breeders & enthusiasts, Worldwide, who've expressed their interest in breeding to this great young stallion. Because
of interest from breeders in Australia, The Secret Pardon has completed the USDA protocols for shipping frozen semen, via SBS's Australian affiliate for the 2011 Australian
breeding season. We hope those down under, and in other qualified countries find The Secret Pardon to be their stallion of choice.
The distinctive Appaloosa breed has the very real possibility of attracting new people to it, and to our Halter world. In order to help achieve this, all with an interest in the
Appaloosa &/or Halter, are being asked for their help. We believe working together is the way for goals to be attained which will once again bring the Appaloosa horse to the
prominence it once owned. Plans and Concepts originally set into motion by one of the most innovative, Horsemen of modern times, the late Doug Schembri, provide a great
start towards seeing these goals to fruition. All choosing to participate will be most appreciated.
The Limited Halter Futurity program, a concept created by Doug Schembri a decade ago, was renamed the Doug Schembri Memorial Limited Halter Futurity, or DSMLHF, after
his untimely passing last August. Please take a moment to review information about this program, to see how you can participate-whether you are currently showing halter,
or not. Information about this is worth reviewing, because help is needed, from you and anyone else who appreciates horses of quality, especially Appaloosas of quality!
To allow us to transition more into Halter horses, most of our reining & performance bred horses are for sale at super reasonable prices. We currently have REAL HORSES for
REAL PEOPLE at REAL PRICES! Visit us on Facebook for up current news, http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sweetwater-Farms

genetic attributes and features similar to those of the Appaloosa, including Quarter horses, Paints, and some other American Color breeds. One attribute these breeds don't
share, since it is exclusive to the Appaloosa, is the distinctive, seemingly OOAK coat patterns unique to the Appaloosa since this color results from genes other breeds do not
possess.
Please help keep the Appaloosa breed and its Halter Horse industry alive and thriving! Over time, the dedicated movers and shakers of the Halter Industry worked
relentlessly to continue developing and perfecting techniques used to master the art of breeding, fitting, creating and consistently presenting seemingly flawless halter
horses at show, after show. Through these decades of hard work, the "Modern" Halter Horse emerged as the preferred halter standard, while the Halter Industry also grew and
evolved. Unfortunately, as expressed by many Appaloosa owners, as the Modern Halter Horse progressed, with Corporate Contributions plentiful, many people felt that those
at the top had become unapproachable, and they'd been left out. This situation is certainly not limited to Halter. Currently, similarities also plague many breed show and
specialty disciplines. However, before forever loosing the Appaloosa enthusiasts and owners who are the very core of our breed, we want to welcome all Appaloosa
enthusiasts back- and into the mix! The Appaloosa Horse Club is very interested in the opinions and concerns of its overall membership, and in working with the membership
