 
In
1997, as I looked for mares suitable to restart the Vintage
Farm breeding program, I discovered a 5-year-old mare and fell
in love with her movement and her soul. The owners graciously
agreed to sell the mare to me. This mare is Dean Mt Fine Lace
(Triton Applause x Dean Mt Merry Belle). Later I was able to
purchase two of her full sisters, Dean Mt Nikkoletta and Dean
Mt Cherry Delite. While these mares are individuals, they each
have that serene kindness that I saw and admired in Lacey. They
are calm and yet highly responsive. They are also excellent
mothers, teaching their foals their calm and trusting ways.
I owe much to their breeder, Joan Crice.

Mt Mares extended pedigree
I
enjoy trail riding and expect all my broodmares to be good
trail horses.

Lace and leading Dean Mt Cherry Delite.
1992
Dark Chestnut Mare
An ideal broodmare with a Cadillac ride.
Lacey has been shown lightly in dressage at schooling shows
with scores as high as 71%.
She is a steady driving horse and the most comfortable ride
on the trail. She has
consistently produced better than herself.
Vintage Firebird, her daughter by Farceurs
Falcon Morgan, is being retained as a riding
horse and broodmare.
1994 dark chestnut mare
I have not had much opportunity to ride Nikki, but she has
excelled at her broodmare duties. She is a full-bodied, well-muscled
mare with exceptionally sound leg conformation.
Nikki's
2008 bay filly, Vintage Verona, born on May 18, 2008 is SOLD.
Of
course, the measure of a broodmare is the quality of foal
she produces. The three sisters have been bred to several
different stallions. The foals have uniformly exhibited the
calm responsive temperament I cherish in the mares. The foals
are also substantially built and athletically talented. See
the foals from these mares below and also on the Sold
Horses page.

Falcon Morgan x Dean Mt Fine Lace)
2001 bay mare
Firebird is an experienced trail horse with free, springy movement and an affectionate disposition. Given the opportunity, she would make a successful dressage or hunter pleasure show horse. We occasionally use her for riding lessons. She has produced two lovely fillies for us, Vintage Ladyhawke and Vintage Firefly, both by Sir Danes Sire Storm.
Vintage Firebird is offered for sale. See the Sales page.
