Noisy Hollow Acres TWH's

The ladies of our pasture mean a lot to us and they are an integral part of our breeding program. We have spent many years looking for mares that will add that extra flare to what Ragtime already puts on. A snappy front end as well as a big back end. When you pair mares like this together with Ragtime, you come up with the ultimate walking horse foal. They are naturally light shod and depending on the training that goes into them later in life they can remain that way or become excellent trail pleasure mounts. The choice becomes that of the owner. Don’t miss an opportunity to pre-order a Ragtime foal from one the mares below. A nominal deposit will hold the foal until weaning.

 
Major-Lee Pretty
(20405623/BL)

We are proud to announce the addition of Lee to our broodmare band. To finally be able to bring together two leading TWH sires in our program is nothing short of exciting. Ultra's Major Threat and Dude's Ragtime Man both have seperately proven themselves and their offspring in the show world. We are now able to bring you the best of the best. Lee will not be bred until 2010 as she too has to prove herself as a champion and she is well on her way having won The Alberta Celebration 2007 Trail Pleasure Champion and taking reserve in every class she entered at the Western Cdn Regional Futurity. Quite an accomplishment for a three year old with just over a month of training. Unfortunately, Lee had a life threatening injury and had to take the 2008 year off to recover but look for her back in the ring in 2009 to finish her campaign.

Don't miss a chance to own a Ragtime baby from this well bred, talented mare. Contact us for information on how a small deposit will hold this foal.


Promise

Fancy's Midnight Promise


Promise is our premier mare. To date she has produced three amazing fillies and a colt worthy enough to carry on the Ragtime line; however, for now one stallion is enough so we gelded him and sold him to some dear friends who love him to death and we look forward to seeing Harlem (It's Time To Rock - Ragtime) on the trails and in the ring in 2011. We purchased Promise at 2 months of age and trained her from start to finish ourselves. Her gentle loving nature has been passed on to each of her offspring and talent ... wow! In her very first show as a three year old with a ten year old non-horsey boy she placed top three in every class. She has the most natural four beat running walk and rocking chair canter.

Summer of 2009 saw me pretty busy with my long work commute and fully booked with training horses. As spring quickly slipped by I found myself without a horse ready for the show season. As I gazed out into the pasture my liver, chesnut roan sabino mare, "Fancy's Midnight Promise", caught my eye. She was happily grazing alongside her pasture mates getting fatter and fatter. A thought flashed through my head .... hmmmn... maybe Promise could be my show horse. Yeah, she had about 200lbs to lose and yeah she hadn't been ridden in 7 years (since she was started as a 3 year old) ... oh heck... why not? This is what I absolutely love about this breed, you can take a broodmare with 3 year old training after 7 years in the field and end up winning Model Champion, English 3 Gait Championship, Reserve 3 Gait Champion of Champions and Reserve High Point 3 Gait Champion in a just a couple of months. Wow! Not to mention I took her on her first competitive trail ride after only having trail rode her a few times where after 25 miles of hot, humid weather with a 73 horse turn out she came in 2nd place with a score only half a point off a perfect ride!

Summer 2010 - Well here we go again! Dave decided to show Promise this year since we did not breed her last year and in her first show she has won Reserve Trail Pleasure 2 Gait with Dave in the saddle. I might add she came second place to her daughter, Ragtime N' Melody!
