"I'm always watching what stallions are producing. After judging two of his fillies at Region 3, I had to contact his owner for more information about them... They were exquisite! They had great type with extra shape and length to their necks, and all this set on beautiful, square and balanced bodies. Then the next and possibly most important qualities were the legs and feet... clean, straight legs, and beautiful feet. These fillies were not only exceptional halter examples, but I knew they will be great performance stars one day." 

~  Liz Bentley, post Region 3 Championships

"He was a spectacular colt, both in mind and body. He was conformed to be extremely athletic: short cannons, great feet, good shape to his neck. And it proved to be true. He was built to do athletic things, to a level that can be found in Half-Arabians, but rarely in purebreds. Add in his quality of type, and he is without a doubt in a class of his own."

"For the last two years I have had the wonderful privilege of leasing my mare, Windsong Bey, to Beth Conti. A privilege because I got to foal out and raise Windsong's two Mirage fillies - both exquisite, both homozygous black. Since Windsong had already produced a National Champion Sport Horse Stallion by Mirage's sire, Desperado V, I already knew this would be a good cross. But I think Mirage's dam line of Bravado V and *El Shaklan brings in some additional "yeast" that added even more prettiness, front end quality and style. And I don't say that lightly since Windsong's Son Klint Black+++/ received 2 perfect 10s for "Head and Neck" and "Overall Breed Type and Quality" at the 2005 Sport Horse Nationals.

This year my Klint Black +++/ daughter, Rajima Black, had an exquisite daughter by Mirage V++++//. . . . "Amiraj". She is probably one of the best fillies I have ever bred - ultra typey, refined, correct and athletic with the sweetest temperament. Her perfect star and four matching socks top off her rich mahagony bay color - just icing on the cake. I predict she'll be one of Mirage's best ambassadors in the show ring and later on the breeding farm. Can't wait to see how her older 1/2 siblings do at this year's SHN. Good luck to all!

Congratulations on the arrival of Amiraj (Mirage V++++// x Jamira Black), a stunning July filly! Owner/breeder Sue Eves is "over the moon" with this beautiful girl. 

Sir KaDan El Bey is a beautiful 16.2 hands, 4 year old gelding who demonstrates his breeding as a beautiful Western Pleasure Jr. competitor. He is currently with Bob Hart to enter fall showing and will be in the 2012 year working his way up to U.S. National competition. He is stunning to watch as he rates so smoothly, carries his rider in a soft and easy way through all gaits, and stuns the crowd with his black, shinny coat with three white socks and small white blaze, a beautiful head and just right tippee ears. Look for him in the fall of 2011 and all of 2012!

Maska is a beautiful boy with a natural athletic ability, an expressive and distinct personality, and trainable mind! He has enough pizzazz to catch your attention and the movement to keep it. I'm more than excited for the bright future that lies before him!

He LOVES attention and from his arrival I knew someone either spent lots of time working with him daily or he just loves people. Perhaps it's both but he loves his grooming, whether it's clipping his ears or bathing in cross ties in the wash stall. He's the best behaved on the farm!
