MARES
Kamelot’s Dancing BallerinaASPC |
 |
We fell in love with this mare the very first time we saw her as a 2 year old filly. At that time, we knew nothing about Shetland Ponies but she was just too beautiful to resist! We purchased her and brought her home and just started playing with her. Eventually, we showed her in halter classes, showmanship classes, and broke her to drive. Our youngest son, Ethan, rode her in Lead-line 6 years and under. We had so much fun showing her! She was always at the top of her class and she always wanted to please you and show for you. We retired her from the show ring in 1996 and in 1997 we bred her to Raven of Bird Haven, ASPC Superior Sire, the leading sire at Wilkinson Pony Farm, Grand Island, Nebraska. “Blu” didn’t disappoint us – she produced an awesome bay and white filly, Outlaw’s Raven’s Dancing Beauty, that we added to our show string for the 2001 season. We repeated the breeding again in 1999 and in 2000 she blessed us with a spectacular black and white colt, Outlaw’s Raven’s Dancing NightStar. Since then Blu has gone on to produce 3 more beautiful fillies for us, all of which have been added to our broodmare band. In 2011 she produced a colt, Outlaw’s Mr. Bey Jangles, sired by AE Bey Star. We think this colt will be a phenomenal gelding to have lots of fun with! Blu is a wonderful example of what the Classic Shetland Pony is – versatile, curious, gentle, faithful, and absolutely beautiful!

“Beauty” is the very first ASPC foal that we raised. All of us, including the owners of the sire, were anxiously awaiting the arrival of this bundle. For some reason our youngest son, Ethan, laid claim to this foal before she was ever born. Ethan was 8 years old at the time and he was really excited about this foal. The first words out of his mouth when he saw her were “Oh, she is beautiful!” and they were said with such reverence. And beautiful she is and that is where her name comes from – Ethan’s own choosing and he picked it well! In her first show – under 4 judges - Beauty received 2 Grand Championships and 1 Reserve Grand Championship. WOW! And she was the Area VI Area National Reserve Grand Champion Mare! Since then Beauty has been retired from the show string and has started her career as a broodmare. We are very excited about her 2010 foal sired by AE Bey Star – Outlaw’s le Bey Idel.

This mare also caught our eye and we wanted another beautiful Classic Shetland, so she was purchased and added to our herd. She is totally breathtaking to watch running free in the pasture – tail flying high and legs popping up. “Illi’s” sire, Raven of Bird Haven, is recognized as a Superior Sire in the American Shetland Pony Club. What an awesome feat! We enjoyed showing Illi for a few years but she didn’t enjoy the show ring. So she was retired from the show ring to begin her career as a broodmare. She certainly has not disappointed us in that department! Her first foal, Outlaw’s Just Wanna Lil ‘MO, was kept as a gelding for us to play with and enjoy and he has been so much fun! Since then Illi has gone on to produce 3 beautiful fillies for us, all sired by our herd sire, D&S Tom Collins. We plan to keep all the fillies for our broodmare band. The first filly from this cross, Outlaw’s TC’s No Mirage, was hardshipped into AMHR in 2010. The second filly, Outlaw’s Tru Picture, is eligible for AMHR hardship now, and the latest filly, Outlaw’s ‘Til Unveiled, will be eligible for AMHR hardship in 2012. This has been such a fun cross! So far we’ve had 3 different colors from this cross so we are anxious to see what color the 4th cross will be!

This foal was anxiously waited for and she didn’t disappoint us! Her dam is our very first shetland mare, Kamelot’s Dancing Ballerina, and her sire is none other than Town & Country’s Catipult, 1998 Pony of the Year and 1998 National Grand Champion Classic Sheltand Stallion, Under. The filly had a brief career as a show mare before she was retired to our broodmare band.2005 Area VI Area National Show Placings:

“Mooney” as we affectionately call her, was bred to our herd sire, D&S Tom Collins, in 2007 and in 2008 gave us a beautiful red roan pinto filly, Outlaw’s Tara Rose. We were delighted with the cross and plan to repeat it again in the near future.
Outlaw’s TC’s No MirageASPC/AMHR Mirage is our first ASPC foal from our ASPC/AMHR stallion, D&S Tom Collins, and we were totally thrilled with the cross! Mirage was hardshipped into AMHR in 2010 and we are looking forward to adding her to our broodmare band!

Outlaw’s Tap DancerASPC Wow! We were anxious to see what this cross brought us and again, we were not disappointed! She has Daddy’s attitude plus looks and her dam was so much fun to show. Timing didn’t allow us to show this filly so she will be added to the broodmare band. She is bred to our Senior Stallion, AE Bey Star, for a 2012 foal. Needless to say, we are very anxious to see what this cross produces! |

Outlaw’s Tru PictureASPC Photo coming in the Spring!‘Trudy’ is a solid bay filly and is the 2nd filly this cross has given us. She is a full sister to Outlaw’s TC’s No Mirage and Outlaw’s ‘Til Unveiled. She will be hardshipped into AMHR in 2012. She has also been added to our broodmare band and will be bred to our Senior Stallion, AE Bey Star, in 2012. |
Outlaw’s Dancin’ A TuneASPC Photo coming in the Spring!‘Tune’ is a solid black filly with a large white star on her forehead. She is a full sister to Outlaw’s Tap Dancer but she shows very different characteristics from her full sister. She has the movement and body type to be shown in today’s Modern Pleasure Division. Since she’s a young filly, we are going to watch her develop and see what future plans for her might be. |
BC Lucky DancerASPC Photo coming in the Spring!Wow! We were so excited to acquire this filly! We have always wanted a Road Pony and Dancer just might be the one! Her dam has won many Congress Championships so she definitely has it in her blood. Thank you Erika, Barnaby Creek Ponies, for giving us the opportunity to add Dancer to our herd of shetlands. |

Dragon Fire’s Electric Blue

Foaled: 5/22/01 42″
Sire: E’s Pistal Peet
Dam: Georgetown’s Last Chance
This mare was such a find! We delivered a mare to Lynn Bateman, Arabian Echo Miniature Horses, and this mare came home with us. She literally made me catch my breathe the first time I saw her! She has a presence and a beauty about her that is irresistible plus she has a wonderful personality. Honestly, she could be competitive in today’s show ring but we were anxious to add her to our broodmare band. She gave us a beautiful filly, Outlaw’s Twice the Appeal in 2011, sired by our stallion, D&S Tom Collins. We have repeated the breeding again and are looking forward to another foal in 2012. Thank you Lynn for allowing this beautiful mare to make her home with us!

This is another beautiful filly from Ellie Verba’s breeding program that we feel very fortunate to be able to add to our Shetland herd. This filly is a granddaughter of Harbrooks MO-Mischief as well as a granddaughter of Dun-Haven Grand Performance. She started her show career off in a fantastic fashion being named the 2010 National Champion Modern Pleasure Futurity Mare Foal of Current Year and National Champion Modern Pleasure Mare Foal of Current Year. We are looking forward to seeing this filly in the performance arena in the future! Thank you Ellie for entrusting us with another of your beautiful fillies!
Outlaw’s le Bey Idel

Foaled: 6/27/2010
Sire: AE Bey Star 37 3/4″
Dam: Outlaw’s Raven’s Dancing Beauty 44″
Wow! We couldn’t have been more thrilled with this cross! Idel’s name is French for beautiful, with a little twist added to it to include her sire’s name. Her dam is a Raven of Bird Haven daughter and her granddam is our first shetland mare, Kamelot’s Dancing Beauty, who boasts Michigan bloodlines. Idel made her debut into the show ring at the 2011 Nebraska State Fair. She was expertly handled by Ellie Verba and we think she had a fantastic start to a promising show career. Idel is ASPC futurity nominated.

“Lucky” was added to our shetland family in 2000. He is proudly owned by Ray and Ethan, who hope to someday break him to drive. In the meantime, we have enjoyed getting to know Lucky and learning how to handle and show a Modern Shetland. He has a super disposition, is very friendly and loving, and has put up with our amateur status very well! We want to thank RFP Ponies for allowing us to purchase Lucky and for all of their help and encouragement!
