We are excited to welcome you to Memory Ranches’ 2015 biennial horse production sale. Over the years
we have searched for and acquired the best bloodlines we could find from all over the country and we feel
this year we are able to offer the nicest set of horses we have ever had. We hold this sale every other year,
selling horses we have bred, raised, and trained here on the ranch. The horses are used in every aspect of
ranch life, making them well rounded.
We are a family owned and operated ranch located in West Central Idaho. We raise registered black and
red Angus cattle as well as our horses. My wife, Merry, and I have seven children. Our oldest son, True, passed
the bar this spring and has moved back to our area with his wife, Andrea, and their five children. We are happy to have them living close by. Harmony was married this past fall to Benjamin Wadsworth and they are
now farming in Silver State Valley, Nevada. We are grateful that she was willing to pitch in doing our photography, ads, and catalog. They are expecting their first baby this fall. Montica and her husband, Zack, are
now near Bakersfield, California where he manages a large almond processing plant. She continues building
custom chaps and chases two little children. Luke and his wife, Amber, just added a baby boy to their three
girls this spring. He runs the red Angus cattle here and is the real initiator and overseer of the horse program.
Lincoln helps out here on the ranch when he has a day off from working at a private boy’s school and his
own farming. He and his wife, Kelsei, have had two children, a boy and a girl, since the last sale. Merrily has
graduated from college and is here on the ranch with us, running her herd of longhorn cattle and helping
wherever needed. She takes care of the website and keeps us all on track. Clancy is still on a mission for our
Church and will be home in September.
All of the family except Clancy will be home to help on sale day. We appreciate all their support and interest in the ranch. Horses are a big part of our lives, of our heritage, and of many special memories as a family.
We hope they will continue to be so.
We look forward to meeting you and talking to you on sale day. We hope we have a horse that fits your personality and needs.
Thank you,
Monty and Merry Pearce

When Merry and I were married 43 years ago we were a couple of young kids with big dreams and no money. We
dreamed of owning our own cattle and horse ranch someday, but in college they taught us that with the economy the
way it was, unless you inherited it, you could never own a ranch. We discovered that the American dream can still be
realized. Instead of furniture and everything our folks had, we bought one cow at a time until we built our registered
herd.
We now market 150 black and red Angus yearling bulls through private treaty each year. This is the 41st year that we
have artificially inseminated our cow herd. We have selected for calving ease, growth, carcass, good udders, efficiency,
and thus have achieved problem free cattle. We have avoided doing single trait selection and focused on balance. In
2014 we sent bulls to be tested for efficiency. Efficiency testing measures how many pounds of feed are needed to
produce a pound of gain. This is the next area where genetic selection will easily effect profit as feed costs climb and
we want to be at the forefront while maintaining our balanced problem free cattle. We have also purchased interest in
a bull that converted at 3.9 pounds of feed per pound of gain while growing 5 pounds per day.
Call us by December 1st to schedule a time to come and view the bulls.
“We calved 392 heifers this spring
that were bred to Memory Angus
Ranch bulls. We checked them only
at feeding time. After calving was
over we culled out 13 dry heifers. “
Jim Bentz, Rancher
“I’ve been associated in production livestock my whole life and I have been
buying bulls from Monty Pearce for 29 years. Pearce has Angus genetics
better than anyone I’ve ever seen. Anything he’s ever told me is absolute
truth. His cattle are what he says they’ll be. I managed the McEwen Ranch
(2500 Cow Ranch) for 15 years. They were mediocre cattle. I started using
Memory Ranch bulls and in four years of using them, the calves were top
in the Winnemucca, Nevada video sale. I didn’t get up at night to check
heifers for calving. If you’re a beginner just tell him what your cattle are
and your goals and he can darn sure set you on the right path. Another
factor that brought me back too was that his wife and daughters are darn
good cooks!”
Al Lowry, Rancher, 84 years old

“I have shipped a lot of calves for
customers who use Memory Angus
Ranch bulls. The ranchers like the
bulls and the buyers love the performance of the calves.”
Jim Davis, Superior Rep
Paul S. Lin
Pennsylvania
“Thank you for having done such an outstanding job
of developing the Driftwood/Joe Reed bloodline. The
7 Memory Ranch horses that my friends and I from
Pennsylvania have purchased, have all been superb!
They are the most ‘cowy’, athletic, ‘no bottom’, horses we
could ever find. We team rope with them and they keep
us competitive! Everyone now wants a horse with a MY
brand!!”
Luis Prieto
Chihuahua, Mexico
“I have had lots of horses from different places in the US and
also in Mexico. When I found these horses from Memory
Ranches I was very satisfied. They are different from the rest
and are very versatile with lots of athleticism. They are always willing to rope or go to work. I have a degree in Horse
Science and I think these horses are the real deal when it
comes to roping.”
Barbara Hall
California
“I run 300 head of black Angus cows and it was shipping season shortly after I got Concho. He had just
turned four. I remember loading him in the trailer in the
pitch dark with a flashlight. He is so kind to do anything
you want. He’s quiet. He’s cowy. He’ll hunt calves down
in the pasture to do his job. He’s so sweet. There’s not
a mean bone in his body. He’s the most super minded
horse I’ve ever had. And he’s absolutely gorgeous! He’s
got the mind to go with the looks. I’m 63 years old and I
think I finally found the perfect horse!”
Chad and Paje Turner
Turner Performance Horses
“We really enjoyed our White Lightning Ike gelding.
He was such a versatile and athletic horse. Won and
placed at ropings and rodeos on both ends in the
team roping, breakaway and calf roping. Hope to one
day have another Memory Ranch gelding.”

Joe Reed
Joe Reed II
Leo
Joak
Joe Reed P-3 was a great race horse with unbelievable heart. In the June 1948 issue of “The Quarter Horse”, House was quoted: “I
never saw Joe start with a bunch of horses that he didn’t get right out in front and leave them on the jump. He had so much power
when he started that he would spread his plates. He nearly crippled himself in this manner, and we were finally forced to shoe him
with a bar across the heel.”
Joe Reed II has a legendary disposition. He wasn’t broke until he was 5 and yet owner Bert Wood remembers Joe Reed as a big
pet. He said, “He helped to raise our kids, and he sure as heck taught them to ride. They used to climb on the fence and then ease
onto Joe’s back. He just stood there. That horse was something special.” He won his world championship with absolutely no race
training—had never seen a starting gate or run on a straightaway—and with a crippled foot. “That horse was a combination of two
things—tremendous speed and tremendous heart.”
Leo was a result of mating Joe Reed II to his sister. He is the greatest broodmare sire in the breed. His daughters produced seven
supreme champions, illustrating the versatility of what the bloodline does. (To be a supreme champion they have to run AAA three
times and have numerous championships in halter, cutting, roping, and western pleasure.) No other sire’s daughters have ever come
close to equaling that record.
Joak was also one of Joe Reed II’s greatest sons, achieving his AAA. He was also a great broodmare sire; his daughters placed him on
the leading sire list for ROM racing.
We feel that the Joe Reed horses are a unique package of speed, heart, easy trainability, and kind dispositions. Several years ago
research showed that every world champion in every category of the quarter horse breed had Joe Reed in its pedigree. It included
race, halter, cutting, and all performance events—quite an achievement! Another interesting factor of the Joe Reed horses is they
line breed so well that it has been easier to maintain the concentration of blood. Often in line-breeding defects show up, but not so
in these horses. We have included the Joe Reeds in our breeding program for these reasons and because of the successful crossing of
Driftwood with Joe Reed bloodlines. This was the cross that produced the legendary Orphan Drift. He was a tremendous performer
himself and sired many outstanding performance horses and broodmares. We see no reason to reinvent the wheel when we know
the cross works so well.
Other Great Bloodlines
Pelican—Grandsire to Frosty Tops and a grandson of Joe Hancock. He ran all distances against both Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds. He was
1947 World Champion running stallion. They took him back east and put phony Jockey Club papers on him, and he beat the Thoroughbreds at the
big tracks. When they got caught, they brought him home to Gill Ranches in Arizona and retired him to stud. He was considered a greater racehorse
than Phar Lap. He is twice in Frosty Silver Jays pedigree.
Harlan - A King P234 grandson out of Dixie Beech. He was on the leading sire list of AQHA Champions for 30 years. His colts raced, haltered and
earned points in all performance events. They were very versatile.
Cee Booger Red—sired many recent PRCA and NFR qualifiers. Joe Beaver won the NFR calf roping on a son and there have been numerous sons at
the NFR and PRCA events.
Goodbye Sam—A Supreme Champion. He was the only Supreme Champion that was 100% Foundation. He was a grandson of Joak out of a daughter of Leo. Intense Joe Reed II breeding. He was AAA and had more cutting points than any other Supreme Champion. He had a super disposition
and sired some outstanding horses.
Drifts Vaquero is by Orphan Drift and out of the same mare, Katy Was A Lady, that produced White Lighting Ike, Tuffy Ike, and the horse Mike
Beers won the World team roping on. Vaquero had a lot of speed and very good size. Billy Albin, a legendary cowboy from Texas, started Vaquero
at nine years of age. He found him to be intelligent and trainable. His daughters have produced World Show qualifiers and numerous stallions. We
have gathered up ten of Vaquero’s daughters and have found them to produce the right kind. They are some of our favorite mares.
Driftwood Ike – Is the most famous son of Driftwood. 100% foundation. Great calf roping, team roping, and barrel racing horse. Also, has sired
some great performers. Gill Cattle Company, before downsizing, was the leading producer of PRCA horses in the world and the sire they used extensively is an own son of Driftwood Ike. They are super cowy with great rate ability and wonderful dispositions. They can take a lot of pressure.
Driftwood Ike won calf and team roping points, earning his open performance ROM in 1960 and second high point steer roping horse in 1969. He
won a total of 54 AQHA Performance points in roping events.
Ikes Last – Son of Driftwood Ike. Only had a few colts, but his daughters are legendary producers. His daughters were big producers for George
Strait’s herd as well as Mel Potter and Ron Kester.

Information available from “WH Legends”
Driftwood Stetson
2001 Dun Reference Stallion
Driftwood Stetson is an outstanding sire and performer. His get are uniform, athletic, kind and very smart. His foals all
move like him. His line bred pedigree increases genetic predictability. We are excited to offer you both geldings and foals
and let you ride a “Stetson”! The first time Stetson was ever shown, he won! He beat the National Champion Buckskin
mare at reining. He has since earned his ROM and quickly qualified for the AQHA World Show in heeling. He was just a
few points away from qualifying on the head end, but he had to get back and sire some foals. He has shown in heading,
heeling, halter, reining, sorting, and barrel racing. He has 53.5 AQHA points and 6 ABHA points. Thanks to Sherry Pentorali for this outstanding sire.
Trace of Glen
1994 Red Roan Reference Stallion
We feel very fortunate to have added Trace of Glen to our stallion battery. He has won over $150,000 roping. He is powerfully made and sires lots of substance and bone. His cannon is short and his hocks are low to the ground. Lee Jones (a
racehorse trainer & calf roper from Oklahoma) says he is the fastest horse he has seen across an arena. His colts have big
motors, lots of heart, and are trainable. His dam presently has 6 sons that are outstanding stallions. Double Dollar Ranch
in Utah is standing a maternal brother as their senior sire. His pedigree of Orphan Drift and Roan Prairie with some Hancock blood helps broaden our genetic base.
11
Indigo James
2011 Brown Reference Stallion
Indigo James is an own son of Ivory James, out of a world champion mare, Blue Grass Bounce. His Speed Index is 104 and
he’s won over $35k on the race track. Indigo’s very kind and quiet and already handling like a performance horse.
Frostys Silver Jay
1996 Gray Reference Stallion
Frostys Silver Jay is a powerful sire. His colts have good bone and feet, lots of substance, and good minds. His pedigree is
all rope and performance. He is line bred to Frostys Tops who went to the NFR as a head horse several times. His dam is
known as Blue Light Ike’s fastest daughter. We ride him on the ranch and he is very cowy.
12
SG Rodeo Cowboy
1997 Buckskin Reference Stallion
Rodeo Cowboy is bred to produce rodeo horses and cow horses! His sire, Frostys Tops, has LTE of over $150,000.
As of 2005, “Frosty” has sired winners of over 3 million in the rodeo arena and is the maternal sire of over 2 million.
Rodeo Cowboy’s mother, OH April, is the dam of horses nearing 1 million in arena earnings and produced “Lariat” and
“Double Tough,” who have LTE of over $100,000 for Leo and Jerold Camarillo and “Casper” for Clay O’Brien Cooper. In
the thoroghbred racing world this is called “black type”.
Ivory (Gents Traveler)
2002 Cremello Reference Stallion
We had the chance to buy this horse out of a total dispersal. We really liked his top side and recognized it as Porter Willis breeding. It was the classic Driftwood/Bras De Or cross that Katy Peake and Cal Poly made famous. His bottom side
came through another Bras De Or/Doc Tom Tucker cross. Ivory’s mother came from an old cowboy that is known for his
cow and bridle horses. We started this horse at nine years old. He has been absolutely outstanding. He is quiet but very
athletic. When we had 30 rides I worked a 16 ft gate on him separating pairs and never missed a calf.
13
Leo Will
1988 Bay Reference Stallion - Deceased
Leo Will is the 2nd highest % Joe Reed II Horse in the world. The NFAHA gives him 99% Foundation. Leo was 50% Joe
Reed II and Leo Will is 44% Joe Reed II. Leo Will has produced some rope horses with exceptional speed and very good
minds. They make outstanding saddle horses because of their trainability and heart.
Mr. Willie Leo
Gray Reference Stallion -Deceased
Mr. Willie Leo is the result of a full brother mated to a full sister. His dam was a beautiful gray mare that was pictured on
the front cover of the Quarter Horse Journal. With time the genes of great horses get diluted. Mr. Willie Leo is an amazing concentration of genes that have been preserved through inbreeding. We are excited about what he can produce in
an outcross program. (We have leased him from Fletcher Farms.)
14
Ninja Wood
2001 Red Roan Stallion-Deceased
We acquired this horse out of south Texas. He has been calf roped on and barrel raced. We have used him on the ranch
and have been impressed by how trainable and good minded he is. He is naturally very cowy and can really get his hocks
under himself. He is line bred Orphan Drift. He is by the immortal Wilywood and goes back on the maternal side to the
great Cow Lady Drift mare. We are excited by his foals and can’t wait to ride them.
Pete Williams Leo
2003 Grey Reference Stallion
After losing this horse’s sire we went looking for a replacement. We broke Pete to lead at 9 years old. We bred four mares
to him and then started riding him. We were impressed by how he progressed and trained. He is very talented and has
a good mind. When used as an outcross on Driftwood mares, the get are very breedy and consistent. He is the highest
percentage Joe Reed II horse in the world at 46%.
15
Brazos Buck Hancock
1994 Black Reference Stallion
We got Brazos for a Hancock outcross. He’s a double bred grandson of Bogie Black. Bogie Black has sired multiple NCHA
winners. We have been impressed by his disposition, soundness, and agility. Having not been rode for 15 years we went
and branded calves on him.
Wily Ike
2005 Buckskin Reference Stallion
Ike is bred to be a using horse. He is quiet and very trainable. He won second in his first show heading at the Red Bluff
AQHA Show. His sire Wilywood, was an outstanding calf roping horse who they competed on numerous times without a
bridle. He sired rope, barrel, bulldogging, and cutting horses. He stood the last years of his life at a $3000 stud fee. Wily’s
dam is by Lone Drifter and both of her granddams were AAA mares. He traces 5 times to Driftwood and carries 25% Driftwood blood.
16
Frenchmans Max
1998 Palomino Reference Stallion
Frenchmans Max has done it all. He was used on a ranch and roped both ends winning jackpot money. He is also patterned on the barrels. He is a proven producer. He has produced futurity, 1-D, and WPRA barrel horses as well as several
team-roping and steer-wrestling competitors including Frenchmans Gun - winner of the Nebraska Ne. 10 1D Champion
Year-end award in 2007 and 2008; Frenchmans You Who - AQHA Barrel Racing point earner; French Sash - 2008 5-State
Heeling Maturity 4TH Place; etc. Frenchmans Max is producing a lot of palominos and buckskins as a bonus! He has the
substance and bone that many breeders are looking for! He stands 15.1 hands and weighs 1,300 lbs.
Geldings
This is a blanket statement about all of the geldings because it would be redundant to have it in their individual write ups.
These horses have all been raised on the mountain and they are phenomenal to ride outside. They are sure
footed and aware of their surroundings. These horses have been raised on chelated minerals that are specific
to this regional area’s needs.
The five year old geldings have branded a lot of calves and they broke in a new set of steers this spring. They
have all been used as head horses because of the necessity of starting the four year olds heeling. They all
have a little more to grow and quite a bit of mass to put on.
The four year old geldings have branded calves this spring. They are started heading and heeling and have
roped the Smarty. They have their first set of shoes on. They are not measured because they will grow until
they are six years old.
The three year olds have roped the Smarty and have approximately 30 rides this spring and 10 last summer.
They are a quiet and easy going set of colts.
If you have any questions, just ask.

1
LMP Tequila Reed
2010 Grey Gelding
Everyone has heard the term “you can’t ride papers”, and while
that’s plainly obvious, what we can ride is the predictability that
those papers give. Joe Reed bloodlines are known for being
extremely kind horses and that is Tequila! Head, heel, brand
calves, and anybody can ride him.
2
Taz (LMP Trace of Willie)
2010 Bay Gelding
Here is the famous Joe Reed x Driftwood working again. Taz is
balanced and powerful. If you need or just want one that can
mortally fly, look no further. Taz ropes both ends and scores
good.
3
LMP Oxford Ike
2010 Buckskin Gelding
You can’t go wrong with a Stetson. Oxford is big and pretty
with lots of ability and kindness. He is fun to brand calves
on and is making a nice head horse. He has a full brother
standing at stud in Wyoming and another that is a top
notch police mount in Michigan! Very versatile horse.
18
4
v
Cinch (LMP Frosty Cinch)
2010 Grey Gelding
We thought Cinch looked like a rope horse as a youngster. He hasn’t disappointed. He runs hard, scores good, and is strong from the horn. He
is powerfully made. He’s a brother to our 2013 high seller and brother
to George Aros’, Santino, Ky Rosenberg’s PRCA tripping horse, and Francisco De La Torre’s top head horse, Mack.
5
LMP Sackett
2010 Grey Gelding
Sackett is big and stout. He is very pretty too. He is making a nice
head horse. Scores good and runs flat. You will get compliments
and draw attention on this one.
6
Roy (LMP Happy Roy)
2011 Bay Roan Gelding
We sold Roy’s mother two years ago in the sale because we can’t
keep them all. After riding Roy you’ll want to own the mare! Roy
comes from hard knocking rodeo horses. He rides really good. He
is a natural at anything you want him to do. He is making a nice
heel horse.
19
7
Ike (LMP Ikes Lollipop)
2011 Buckskin Gelding
This family of horses are tough to beat. Ike has big shoes to fill because he has had three brothers that have been outstanding! His
mother is a “no miss” kind of mare. I’ll say this about him – so far,
so good. Big, stout, balanced, and kind. He is another good one.
8
Pepsi (LMP Stetsons Drifter)
2010 Buckskin Gelding
Pepsi has really matured this last winter. His first ride this spring
after being laid off for 4 months was dragging a wild longhorn
cow into the trailer! He acted like he had done it once a week for
20 years. Head, heel, or just enjoy riding a good one.
9
20
Amarillo (LMP Amarillo Ike)
2009 Palomino Gelding
Amarillo is the only 6 year old gelding in the sale. That’s different but
not bad. He was going to be my dad’s personal “go to” horse but he got
too tall. He is fun to brand on and is gentle and responsive to ride. He
has been laid off multiple times with no issues. He is more ranch horse
than team roping horse, but he is also doing good as a head horse – just
greener.
10
Stanley (LMP Silver Mounted)
2011 Grey Gelding
I don’t know if he is really any nicer than any other 4 year
old, but Stanley is one of my favorites (I think it’s okay to say
that, right?) He comes out of one of our favorite young Stetson daughters. He is a good mover and a hard stopper. He has
branded calves and is doing good roping steers.
11
Tabasco (LMP Tuff On A Rope)
2010 Bay Gelding
I love riding this horse! He has the coolest fast walk of all the
horses. He is fun to ride outside and brand on. He is also making
a good heel horse. Also if the steers aren’t huge he isn’t too bad
to head on.
12
Payette (LMP Steel Payette)
2010 Grey Gelding
Payette comes from one of the best mare families of Joe Murray
and Jim Wheatley. He had a brother that we sold as a calf horse
to a Brazilian for a lot of money. He is quiet and laid back. He is
roping both ends well.
21
13
Bert (LMP Bert)
2011 Buckskin Gelding
Bert is athletic and quick. He comes from a great line of horses
that have tons of ability. He has branded lots of calves and is
tough and game. He is roping good and has the look of a top
heel or calf horse.
14
Chazz (LMP Stetsons Gillett)
2011 Buckskin Gelding
Chazz’s maternal grandsire was a top PRCA heel horse with
earnings exceeding 300k. Chazz oozes talent. He gives you 110%
every time. He is a blast to ride and will turn heads in the branding trap or arena.
15
Diablo (LMP Tivio Drift)
2010 Buckskin Gelding
Here is another Stetson that has lots of talent. He is a maternal brother
to Ky Rosenberg’s tripping horse and Francisco De La Torre’s head horse,
Mack (he is said to be the best head horse in Mexico – he is only 7). Diablo has been used as a ranch horse on some big ranches in Grandview,
Idaho. He is making a really nice arena horse too.
22
16
Dundee (LMP Dundee Ike)
2010 Buckskin Gelding
Dundee’s mother is a half sister in blood to Clay O’Brien Coopers
old buckskin, Ike. He is very fluid in his movements and has a
hard stop. He has branded lots of calves and been used outside
in rough terrain. He is doing good heading and heeling in the
arena. He isn’t for just everybody.
17
El Fuego (LMP Traces Vaquero)
2011 Bay Gelding
If you want one that’s cool looking you won’t miss with El Fuego!
He is on fire and has one burning constantly. Smooth mover, hard
stopping, and wants to rate – he is the real deal. He is good at
whatever he sets his mind to – not for everybody.
18
Tikki (LMP Topshot Drift)
2012 Bay Gelding
Tikki is a nice three year old that is calm, cool, and collected. He
moves good and stays quiet. His mother is out of a full sister to
Lone Drifter. His “predictor” is stacked with good ones.

Gator (LMP Tuff N Fast)
2011 Bay Gelding
Here is another Stetson that is outstanding. He is a little bigger
than most of the Stetsons. He is a full brother to lot #11. I like
how this horse uses his hocks and moves around. He is roping
both ends.
20
Coil (LMP Cooper Ike)
2012 Brown Gelding
A lot of people thought we should have left this one a stud
because of his pedigree. He is line bred back to the K4’s “April”
mare family. His sire is a half brother to Clay O’Brien Cooper’s,
Ike. Coil won’t disappoint you. He is very balanced and wants to
please.
21
Pecos (LMP Trace Of Silver)
2011 Grey Gelding
Pecos’ mother died so he is the end of the line. He has a sister
in Pennsylvania that cannot be bought I am told. He moves free
and stays quiet. He is roping good.
24
22
EZ (LMP Dustys Last)
2011 Red Dun Gelding
This good looking red dun is living up to the example of his older
brothers. Candyman, Flash, and Bourbon are all fantastic mounts
and EZ is right with them. He was a natural this spring in the
branding trap and hasn’t looked back. EZ makes it look easy.
23
Button (JR Hunky Seventeen )
2011 Bay Gelding
When we had the opportunity to buy Miniwood we took it and
Button was tagging along at her flank. He is balanced and an eye
catcher. His sire was an awesome calf horse that wasn’t even
broke to ride until he was 9 years old. Don’t overlook Button.
24
Fuel (LMP Sketchwood)
2012 Buckskin Gelding
Fuel is Ike’s (lot #7) adopted brother. Fuel’s mother died so Miss
Candywood raised two colts that year. He is a real half-brother
to Flash, a fantastic horse from our 2013 sale and also Wasp,
Prairie, and Ocho. He is going to be a good one.
25
25
Magnum (LMP Magnum Ike)
2012 Buckskin Gelding

knows it. Jim Wheatley had a full brother that he liked and Magnum will be the same.
26
Turtle (LMP Trace Of Wily)
2011 Bay Roan Gelding
Turtle was just exactly that until we showed him a rope and steer
then he turned into a hare! Not real tall but he will be stout. He
is doing really good on the heel end.
27

2011 Bay Roan Gelding

30
Copper (LMP Stetsons Smokey)

end. He has an awesome performance horse pedigree!
27
31
Twig (LMP Oakwood Glen)
2012 Bay Roan Gelding

the Babbitt Ranches top sire Cowboy Drift. Twig moves good and
has lots of try.
32
LMP Stetsons Breeze
2009 Buckskin Roan Mare

at her. She would also make a nice barrel horse.
