Mares of Walkers on Water

As the song goes, "the fire of a mare and the strength of a stud."  Foals get half their genes from their moms so it is important to have quality mares.  Not only genes factor in however.  That foal is going to spend it's first five to six months with that mare and will learn a lot from her.  Not to downplay the importance of having a good stallion, but we feel that mares have a greater impact on the outcome of the foals.  We love our mares!!

In keeping with the trail horse job description, our mares have good bone and great feet.  We have worked with a few farriers and they all comment about what wonderful feet these horses have!  Other qualities we look for include a gentle nature, willingness, agility, and strength.  We don't mind a spirited mare as long as she is a willing partner. All of our mares are broke to ride and have mountain time. 

Foals are imprinted at birth and messed with on a daily basis.  By weaning they halter, lead, tie, can be touched anywhere, load in a trailer and pick up their feet.
