Olivia is an NN daughter of Ima Cool Skip out of a
great mare that we owned, The Magnolia Kid.
“Maggie” her dam, was way ahead of her time as far as
quarter horses go. I
remember Charlie Dobbs and Tim Finkenbender coming to our place
years ago and Charlie stopping at her stall and asking how we
were able to get this mare.
He told me that he and Tommy Manion had offered a lot
for her but Clarence Bruell who owned her would not sell her.
Charlie told me that he thought she was the best mare they
had bred to Pretty Impressive when they owned him.
I raised 3 daughters of Ima Cool Skip out of her and all of
them were NN. Larry
Krieger in
Michigan
owns one and Shawna Honigman in California
has the other and we kept the youngest. Olivia has
been a great producer for us----her foals always seem to have long necks, big hips and gorgeous heads.
My friend, Dudley Pillow always told me that Cooleah was
one of the few mares that was good enough to produce a stud.
